Muslims that I know tend to gorge themselves every night for iftar. I would expect the body's reaction to be completely different than the 10 day fast studied here.
Unfortunately this is very true. The intention I feel is to rest the body during Ramadan, eat only what you need, maybe a bit less to actually feel hunger, become more spiritual, etc. But where I am, it is literally the opposite; people make huge feasts, with round two being sweets and dessert. EVERY SINGLE DAY. Add to that the lack of motion and activity and at 30 days we’ve put on 10 kg. Sorry to put this under your comment xD
