Ramadan has come to an end, and while we cherished every moment&mdash;especially indulging in delicious Sambousak, Mahshi, and B&eacute;chamel Pasta&mdash;many of us are now looking for ways to shed the extra kilos gained during the month. The good news? You don&rsquo;t need drastic diets or intense workouts to get back on track. Here are five simple steps to ease into your post-Ramadan routine and reclaim a healthy
1. Reset Your Eating Habits
After a month of fasting, your metabolism may have slowed down. Instead of jumping into extreme diets, focus on balanced nutrition:
Eat smaller, frequent meals to stabilize blood sugar levels. Prioritize whole foods, lean proteins, fiber-rich vegetables, and healthy fats. Cut back on processed foods and sugary treats&mdash;not to mention &lsquo;Kahk&rsquo; indeed! Stay hydrated&mdash;sometimes thirst can be mistaken for hunger.
 2. Reintroduce Physical Activity Gradually
If you reduced exercise during Ramadan, now is the time to reintroduce movement into your daily routine:
Start with light workouts like walking, yoga, or stretching. Gradually increase intensity with strength training or cardio sessions. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week&mdash;which is approximately 20 mins per day.
 3. Control Portions and Avoid Overeating
Ramadan often changes portion perception, with large Iftar meals becoming a habit. Post-Ramadan, it&rsquo;s important to regain control:
Use smaller plates to help manage portion sizes. Eat slowly and mindfully to recognize fullness cues. Avoid emotional eating&mdash;ask yourself if you&rsquo;re really hungry or just craving something out of habit.
 4. Restore a Healthy Sleep Pattern
Late-night Suhoor meals and social gatherings may have disrupted your sleep cycle, affecting your metabolism:
Set a consistent bedtime and wake-up schedule. Avoid screens before bed to improve sleep quality. Get at least 7-9 hours of restful sleep to regulate hunger hormones.
 5. Be Patient and Consistent
Weight loss is not an overnight process. Instead of focusing on quick fixes, prioritize long-term, healthy habits:
Set realistic goals and track your progress. Don&rsquo;t get discouraged by slow results&mdash;consistency is key. Find a support system, whether it&rsquo;s friends, family, or an online community. By making gradual adjustments, you can reset your health and feel energized after Ramadan. Ready to take the first step? Start today!
