How To Stay Fit This Ramadan feat. Sumrina Khan of @getfitwithsammyk It’s that time of year again when fasting becomes norm and your routine and eating habits tend to go topsy turvy. Here are some tips to get you through the Holy Month of Ramadan without piling on the extra lbs!

PLAN YOUR MONTH: Planning is key when creating a routine, otherwise you’ll get sucked into temptation too soon too quick!

BUY GROCERIES AHEAD OF TIME: Sure the household supplies will consist of a lot of oily (and delicious) items, but fill your cart up with healthy and nutritious foods that will keep you satiated and active.

KEEP IT MOVIN’: The change in sleep patterns and the long fasted state will have you feeling lethargic, but beat the blues

and get some form of exercise in.

Whether it’s a walk in your garden, a short gym session or even a glorious session of yoga - get that sweat in. (You can thank me later).

STAY HYDRATED: We all know the importance of drinking H20, but it’s essential to load up on the water during the non-fasting hours. ProTip101: Keep a (reusable) bottle on you throughout.

MEAL PREP: This is a big one! Plan your suhoor/ Iftar meals ahead of time and make sure they are ready on the table for you. This way, you can participate in meal times with the family without compromising on your clean eating.

RELAX: Ramadan is a month of blessings, praying and family. So cut yourself some slack and enjoy a not-sohealthy meal ONCE a week.

“This Ramzan has been extra special . No amount of gratitude can be enough. I have a desire to give more, pray more, share more, love more and cherish every moment we get in this world .

The last week will be spent doing all the above even more passionately and also of course doing what I love to do ....my Sublime Sara Shahid

Yes it went away so fast.

I plan on utilizing it with cherishing the blessings God has me blessed with and I plan on doing maximum amount of charity i can.

Ramazan was completely different this year but this quarantine has helped me a lot to develop a unique connection with God! I intend to transfer all my gained knowledge to people who acquire it! Lets simplify our table to feed the ones who actually need it. Lets give back as much as we can in the days we have left Maheen Elahi

Time to bid farewell to the most peaceful month of the year! Ramzaan has gone by way too fast this time and in this last week i plan to make meals and distribute among the daily wagers, finish my Quran and for once not shop for eid. I’d rather spend that money on helping those in need during this different time. - Mehak Afzal

We have to make this Eid meaningful so I will be giving out Eid clothes to people who can’t afford to buy new clothes. Also; I’m not buying any clothes for myself or my children and hubby and all of us are wearing clothes that we have not worn earlier.

There’s no point in wasting away money in these testing times.

I’m also planning to do more Zikar of Allah in the last Ashara .. may allah bless us all. Rubia moughees

IN THE SPOTLIGHT

health requires healthy food Eating right is one of the best preventive medicines there is, and Aymen Subhani helps to do just that. As a consultant dietitian, she plans food and nutrition programs, supervises meal preparation and oversees the serving of meals in her clients. She talks with us and shares insights about keeping proper nutrition and having a balanced diet.

Can you tell us a little about yourself? How did you decide for a career as a dietitian?

My name is Aymen Subhani, I am a Dietitian and a Nutritionist based in Lahore and I work online via my Instagram page. I've dealt with many clients and provided them the diet charts tailored to their needs. My IG handle is @livingwellwithaymen.

About me choosing this career, I always knew I wanted to do something in the Medical field.

Being on a weight loss journey myself, I knew the struggles and how overwhelming the plethora of bogus information out there can be. Hence I decided to go in the field of Nutrition so I can help others like me. Also I was sick of society’s portrait of "a healthy person" and how everyone thinks body shaming is okay. Wanted to do my part and fix this.

What are good and bad foods?

16

PAPERAZZI MAGAZINE

2020

No food is good or bad, and to label it like that could raise eating disorders among people, especially the youth. All food is fuel for your body and every food provides nutrients. Moderation and mindful eating is the key when it comes to food. Allow yourself your favorite foods like a cookie or two between meals so you don't end up eating the whole packet later anyway. Have a balanced diet.

What is the best thing one can eat to remain healthy but also keep a balanced diet?

Include protein in your diet. You can easily get it from chicken, beef, fish, lentils, beans, quinoa et cetera. Along with protein, include fruits and vegetables to ensure that you get all the necessary vitamins and minerals, antioxidants and fiber. Both protein and fiber will help you feel full for longer. A balanced diet in which you include all food groups will also ensure that your immune system is strong.

Example of a healthy balanced meal: 3 ounces chicken steak with lemon juice squeezed, cooked spinach and boiled mashed potato served with yogurt mint chutney.

Nutrition guide: 358 calories, 34g carb, 28g pro, 11g fat What about sugar free or diet foods?

It's different for everyone. I don't usually recommend people to go sugar free or follow "diet foods" because that would mean demonizing certain foods. Food is not the problem, eating mindlessly and binging is the problem. Unless a person is diabetic and has high blood sugar levels, I let my clients have sugar every now and then. Or I provide them alternatives like honey, agave nectar, brown sugar or dates. Obviously excess of anything is bad, hence portion your food. Restricting a certain food group only results in wanting it more.

Usually fruits and vegetables are labeled as "diet foods" when they're not diet foods. People can easily gain fat if they're consuming too many calories. The only thing important for weight loss is eating less calories than what your body burns, eat mindfully, have fruits and vegetables in your diet along with protein and fiber and have less servings of processed foods per week.

What are the most common mistakes people make that cause them to fail at their diet?

• Too restricted calories: I've seen people do 800 calorie diet chart and fail at it which is obvious. As it's too restricted and their body is not satisfied leaving them feeling weak, lethargic and dizzy which results them rushing back to their old sedentary lifestyle and poor eating habits.

• Following the same dietary plan for a long time results in your body getting used to the calories you're putting in and your weight hits plateau which can be very disappointing. So instead of doing it yourself or buying baseless fat burners, hire a professional.

• Not doing breakfast or starving yourself till 8pm only to binge eat on a meal that has around 1800 calories will not let you lose weight.

• Not exercising, not eating enough protein or fiber rich foods.

• Consumption of more liquid calories e.g. juices.

• Not drinking enough water.

• Setting crazy goals like losing 20 pounds in one month. Getting disappointed and then overeating later.

What is the best way to make sure that you are eating healthy?

Including all food groups in your diet to ensure that you load up on nutrient dense calories, antioxidants, and micronutrients that will build up your immune system and help with other important functioning of the body.

Are genetics important in factoring in one’s weight or diet goals?

Yes, behavior, habits, environment and sometimes genes factor up in weight gain or weight loss. So you change your eating pattern, eat mindfully and exercise you can achieve ypur goals. It will be a little hard for some as compared to the other person, but it's achievable.

How should one improve their overall nutrition?

Simply by including whole foods in their diet, stop snacking mindlessly, not eating when you're bored, including protein, fiber, fruits and vegetables in your diet daily.

What would you say about taking supplements; do you recommend people take multivitamins? If yes, what vitamins are the most important to have?

I personally don't recommend supplements unless it's absolutely neces-

sary (e.g. a person who recently went through surgery, pregnant or lactating women, serve malnourished people et cetera). If the deficiency is minute and can be fixed by diet that's the priority then. Consuming extra amounts of vitamins and minerals will lead to toxicity and have adverse health effects. So a blood test report, and a physician's prescription for the supplement is the way to go. Otherwise, food is your best medicine.

How is one supposed to deal with unintentional weight loss and not feeling hungry at mealtimes?

First, it's important to understand the cause of the unintentional weight loss and until that's fixed; you'll keep on losing more weight. Diagnosis is very important and then dietary recommendations are given. For example there's drastic weight loss in anemic patients. They keep on losing muscle mass, body weight and their blood unless it's identified and treated. But until diagnosis, make sure to eat something every 30 minutes in little quantities so you don't faint.

Can you tell us some alternatives to junk foods?

Bake or air fry your food to minimize calories. Make a lentils burger, baked pakoras, baked potato, baked chicken steak or air fry your chips or wedges.

Make carrot chips if you're trying to lose weight. Simply cut your carrots in the finger fries style, bake them and enjoy. You can use sweet potato instead of potato, and use homemade yogurt, mayo or chutney instead of ketchup.

Considering Ramadan, how can one maintain or lose weight while fasting?

Ramadan is a golden opportunity for all those who are trying to lose weight. So in your next sehri, instead of eating parathas eat lentils soup, oatmeal, chicken, kitchri, have banana shake with dates, have spinach and lemon electrolyte smoothie, a sunny side up egg with bran bread and ginger lassi.

Consume 2 glasses of water.

In iftari, less fried foods, and more whole foods. Start with a date and then drink your favorite homemade fruit slush. e.g. peach slush, have watermelon and strawberry smoothie with mint to get a bolt of energy and refreshment. Have baked pakoras, steak, kabab, channa chat or fruit chaat in your iftari. It's difficult to gain weight in ramadan, so the main focus should be on maintaining your weight this month. Include more protein in your diet and stay hydrated.

Can you recommend a good Sehri to have?

Oatmeal. It's very easy to make, is light on your stomach, has both fiber and protein which will help you stay satiated for longer and is loaded with micronutrients and antioxidants. You can add chia seeds, coconut flakes, dates, dash of cinnamon, nuts and fruits as toppings on it before eating.

Can have a boiled egg with it if you still feel hungry.

Lastly, what do you know as a dietitian that you wish everybody knew?

• Not every new trending diet is "finally" the answer to your weight problems. Stop crash dieting, say no to fat burners (medicines or teas), and don't follow a diet chart that worked for your friend. It may not work for you.

• Every body's needs are different and it's important to identify and fulfill them in order to achieve your weight goals, be that weight gain or weight loss.

• Do not demonize food.

• Exercise regularly every 4 to 5 days a week.

• Fat is actually good for your body.

• Lastly, do not body shame people. It's not okay. Sometimes it is physically very hard for some people to lose or gain weight.

Follow along for a few magical ways in which you can use turmeric powder for beautiful and radiant skin: 1. Heals wounds and reduces scars: The anti-inflammatory properties of turmeric work on your pores and calm the skin. Turmeric is also known to reduce scarring and heal any kind of wounds faster due to its antiseptic qualities. Mix a pinch of turmeric with 1 teaspoon of besan or gram flour. Apply it on the affected areas and let the paste dry for at least 25 minutes. Wash with lukewarm water.

2. Delays signs of ageing: Turmeric contains curcuminoid pigments, which help the body in synthesizing antioxidants. These antioxidants protect the skin cells from free radical damage and can even slow down the signs of ageing like dark spots, fine lines and wrinkles.

3. Treats dry and cracked skin: Did you know haldi could treat cracked heels? Mix some coconut oil with turmeric powder and apply this paste on your cracked

heels or dry skin and then wash off after 15 minutes. You skin will feel soft and relieved.

4. Soothes burns: Turmeric is known for its soothing properties. Mix a pinch of turmeric with some milk or cooling curd and apply it on the affected area. Let it dry and wash off gently. Repeat this a few times in a day for at least one to two weeks till the burn mark starts fading away.

5. Cures stretch marks: A mix of turmeric, saffron and lime juice can be used to get rid of stretch marks. Apply the paste on the area, let it sit for 15 minutes and then wash off.

Repeat this every day until you see that the marks become light.

HINA SALMAN IS A MOTHER, A PMU ARTIST AND A BANKER! SHE STARTED HER CAREER WITH DESIGNING UNIFORMS BUT REALISED THIS WAS NOT HER TRUE CALLING!

Tell us about yourself I started my career at a very young age, I used to design corporate uniforms for marketing companies and side by side I started my banking career. It’s been 12 years working with different banks now reaching the position of regional sales head, creativity was always in my blood and I always had the intention to do something regarding it and I started off with learning for SMU/ PM, aesthetics and makeup skills.

After finishing my education I started off with my own studio.

Did you stumble upon your career or was it something that you always wanted?

I've always wanted to be in a creative field and it had always been my dream to excel in my field.

Did you ever consider or experience a career change?

Oh! Yes I did definitely. I went from making corporate uniforms and Mascots for multinational companies, to working in a Bank and now I am following my Dreams by working as a PMU artist.

Did you ever feel discouraged mid way your routine? How did you push through it?

No I've never felt that since I love the work that I do and it never made me feel discouraged but infect I got motivated every passing day.

What does nobody tell you about being the boss?

Managing and creating such a team and leading them for a long lasting time in which not only I grow but we all grow together.

Name one boss lady that inspired you take your own path, and how did she inspire you?

Benazir Bhutto and lady Diana because they both were really strong and intellectual women. They proved themselves in every field they pushed through all the hardships on their own which is very inspiring for me.

“MANAGING AND CREATING SUCH A TEAM AND LEADING THEM FOR A LONG LASTING TIME IN WHICH NOT ONLY I GROW BUT WE ALL GROW TOGETHER.”

What are the top three things that you cherish the most in your life?

All the blessings from Allah, every blessing from him is to be cherished. But the top three things which I cherish the most are when my daughter was born, when I got certified as PMU artist and when I designed uniform for the very first time.

What is the #1 thing yet to be ticked off your bucket list?

I want to travel a lot around the world, and most of all I want to see myself grow as successful business women very soon.

Describe a typical day in (insert name)’s life?

My usual typical days are quite hard and tough I wake up at fajr for prayer and then go back to sleep. I wake up again to go to office and come back home after tons of work and I meet my kids and play with them for a while.

Later going on to work for my clients by appointments till late night usually.

Complete this sentence, ‘To me a #BossLady is…’

To me #BossLady is women inspiring other women to work with each other rather than against each other

A lesson your biggest failure might have taught you?

The lesson I've learnt is that be careful who you trust and tell your problems too not everyone who smiles at you is your friend.

Which world leader would you most like to have dinner with?

I'd like to have dinner with Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey mostly because their work is inspiring and both of them are really empowering women of the world.

What advice would you give to young girls who look up to you and have goals and dreams like you?

I want to tell them to be humble, work hard and have faith in Allah no matter how hard things get, only He and your hard work can help you achieve your goals .Do good and good will come to you.
