Ah, a weekend. That means one glorious thing. I get to sleep in!! I woke up for Sahoor with just enough time to get something together and eat. Rest assured it was done with only one eye open. I ate, did my morning prayers, and was back to bed in no time. I didn’t even give my self the opportunity to take a picture of the food.
This morning’s sahoor was a pretty simple one. I made an omlette with 2 eggs and 3 egg whites. I added onions, tomatoes, sea salt, and chili powder to it and cooked it with extra virgin olive oil. I had some left over chicken from last night so I added that to my plate as well. I washed it down with a liter or so of water. Simple, quick, and did the job. Some guac would have made it perfect but I used the last of it last night.
Cheat Meal
I mentioned something about a cheat meal a few days ago and tonight I’ve decided to take one. You should allow yourself a cheat meal once in a while as a reward or to tame those one off cravings. Some people have a “3 cheat meals a week” plan, others like myself save it for outings or when I need a break. I’ve gone over a week being fairly strict with Paleo so I’ve decided tonight will be a cheat night for me. I find it important to take a cheat meal once in a while when taking on a dietary lifestyle change like this one. If you go too strict for a long period of time, you could find yourself breaking down one day and binging on ice cream and soda for 4 days straight. I have plans to have dinner with friends at a local resturant tonight for Iftar. Oh and I won’t be posting what I eat because, well, it will be my dirty little secret.
I think this cheat meal, sleeping in, and rest day from working out are the ingredients I need to get back on my game plan.
One Fit Ramadan 
Hi there. Ramadhan Kareem greetings from SIngapore.
I have been experimenting with Paleo and CF last 3 months with great success. I now just need to lose the last 5kg and get to my goal body fat percentage. The only problem I am facing with Ramadhan that I keep cheating myself into thinking there’s no need for training as our body is already so tired from lack of sleep, water and food. Trying to keep to short sprints and weights instead.
I do however find myself craving for more junk food especially after 3 days of fasting (was really good with paleo meals the first 3 days)
Anyway, great job on your blog.I am going to try some of the meals you have listed – they look delicious! All the best
Ramadan Kareem to you too! That’s great to here about your success. Believe me, I fell into that trap last year about not training because i was too tired etc. That’s why I started this blog this year, to hold me accountable. I want to prove that it can be done. I am modifying workouts but am still being just as intense. They key is planning. Hydrate, eat protein and fats, try to sleep at a set time. Start telling your self the night before that you are going to WOD and train your mind all day with that thought.
As far as the junk food, try writing down everything you eat. That will make you think twice about eating junk food. Also, make guacamole or other paleo snacks to munch on when you do get hungry.
Keep in touch!!
