                                Despite abstaining from food and drink all day, approximately two-thirds of Muslims surveyed in a Jeddah, Saudi Arabia study reported gaining weight after Ramadan. The unexpected phenomenon of weight gain during Ramadan often stems from unhealthy eating habits developed between iftar and suhoor.
