THESE DIY RECIPES WILL HELP YOU LOSE WEIGHT IN RAMZAN

Ramzan is always an uncertain time when it comes to weight loss. We fast during the day and come evening we are famished, so when it’s time to break our fast, we gobble everything down, even though our stomachs scream no more. But with these easy recipes you can now opt to stuff your face (literally) and not feel guilty about it whether its Sahur or Iftaar.

  • Next layer the roasted granola and pour over one tablespoon of honey.

  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp flour
  • 150 grams milk
  • 60 grams mature chedder cheese

  • 130 grams al dente whole-wheat or gluten free tubettipasta ( you can use a similar shaped pasta if you don’t have tubetti on hand)
  • 60 grams cauliflower florets, washed and dried.
  • 30 grams kale leaves, cleaned and roughly chopped.
  • 20-30 grams grated Parmesan or Grana Padano.
