Wa alaykum asalaam! I would love to join you, but I'm at a point where it's really important for me to eat a little something every 3 hours to keep my metabolism going. I'm interested to see how this works out for you though. Good luck, may Allah (SWT) make it easy for you.

You know I've actually read about a diet the incorporates a day of fasting during dieting. Not sure what it's called but it's there. To be honest I haven't tried it. I would say fasting and working out is effective in making one lose weight but since the body goes in starvation mode I am not sure how much of the weight one loses is actual fat and how much of it is muscle loss/water loss.

I usually try keeping a healthy diet during the month of Ramadan and yes, it does lead to weight loss. Having said that, I still might not incorporate fasting in my weight loss regime, mostly because of my personal preference. When I work out, I absolutely need water to keep myself hydrated and fasting just makes me low on energy and I have to cut back on my workout time.

Truth be told, I do have about 15 fasts that I missed in Ramadan and I'm currently in the process of fasting. Tomorrow Insha'Allah I will be fasting, and hopefully manage to work out and eat healthy.
