Re: losing weight
One meal a day has worked for many people and so has the 5 bites per meal approach. The Prophet SAW ate one meal a day …2 being the max. Same with the sahaba. It’s said that after the Prophet SAWS passed, the first sunnah that was broken was that of eating to one’s fill. In other words, people broke his sunnah of eating less and became excessive in their consumption. This leads to a host of not only health problems but also hinders spiritual development as it makes one sluggish in ibadat. And now experts are finding validity in this sunnah. Eating only 1-2 meals a day is a form of intermittent fasting a during this state the body produces more HGH or human growth hormone which is said to keep one looking younger. It’s said eating too much (and especially the wrong foods) contributes to outward aging as well. Even experts vary in the opinions and approaches. If 1 meal is too hard, then try 2 instead.
Apart from that, in the past I’ve stuck to 1 small roti a day. Not a fan of chawal. I wasn’t fat, but I wanted a flat stomach. So, To achieve that I would combine salads with my meal and I would eat fruit to fill me up…lots of water…and combining cardio with weights.
would it be possible to lose 12 kilos in 3 months eating two meals a day say breakfast/lunch having a snack for dinner..does drinking lots of water actually help in losing weight? or is that just healthy.
