SWIPE Ramadan Food Plan

People suffer from few specific ailments especially after the month of Ramadan, which are stomach problems, general weakness, bloating, palpitation, insomnia and weight gain etc. I believe that the objective of a fast is to give you holistic health and give rest to those organs which are working 24 hours especially the digestive tract. Remember putting a single drop of water in mouth activates your whole digestive system.

Unfortunately in our society this month has turned into a food festival month, and we eat huge amount of junk foods which are mainly composed of white flour products baked or fried in cooking oil. So instead of being cleansed, liver is overloaded with transfats, and other toxins. These dead junk foods pollute inner chemical environment, apply a block to mind, body, soul connection, and you will be deprived of fasting spiritual benefits.

If you are looking for some enlightenment or real peace, and physical health in Ramadan do follow the given plan.

Need to understand the SWIPE 8-Rules of Correct Eating and SWIPE Adult Food Plan.

For best results follow correct timings, food combination and food rotation. People who are already following SLP can fix their plan according to the Ramadan rules, and select the aftar foods from the Ramadan plan. Your prescribed Pre-breakfast and breakfast will become pre-sehri and sehri. If you have less time then don’t take pre-sehri and start with four table spoons of sweet or salty yogurt or lasi.

If you are a weight watcher, eat very little aftari and directly have dinner. Many people replace dinner with aftar foods and fall sick after Ramadan. People having multiple doses of medicines are suppose to consult their doctors before fasting. Try to sleep at least 2-3 hours at night to get maximum benefits out of this plan.

1. SWIPE Pre-Sehri

Within first 2-3 minutes of waking up, only if there is an interval of 45min. between waking up and azan. For pre- sehri you need to sleep at night otherwise take sehri directly and skip the pre-sehri. If you are following SLP take pre-breakfast as pre-sehri otherwise select from the SLP adult food plan.

Choose four options and take one option a day and follow a rotational pattern. If you wake up one hour before, then 30 minutes after first pre sehri take yogurt or lasi and 5 to 10 minutes later sehri can be eaten.

If you do not sleep then skip first pre sehri and start from water and yogurt.
Water intake is before sehri, therefore you can take 2-4 glasses between pre-sehri and sehri.
Tea can be taken 5-10 minutes before taking sehri meal.

2. SWIPE Sehri

Do not take bakar khani, pheoni, pratha in sehri. Take roti or whole wheat bread with egg, kabab, potato cutlets or bhujia, cheese, butter, honey, salan or yogurt on a four days rotational plan. Aloo ka pratha is better than the plain pratha, it can be taken only twice a week.
If you do not feel like eating heavy meal, you can opt between wheat daliya, milk shake, yogurt shake, yogurt and shaker but do take a very fulfilling sehri.
Few sips of green Tea with little shaker after the sehri.
Patients with various ailments can take the medicines after food with little water

3. SWIPE Iftaar

Avoid white flour products and do not mix sweet and salty foods together.
If break your fast with sweet foods like dates, fruit chat, milk drinks, juices, lasi, shakes, cold coffee or lemonade then take your salty snacks or dinner after 30-60 minutes.
Water or tea has to be taken before dinner. Take salty aftari with your dinner or break your fast with salty foods like pakorey, chana chat, dahi barey but no dates and drinks. Now fruits or desserts will come three and half hours after the dinner.
Do not skip dinner because eleven months you body is in a habit of taking dinner.
If you want to enjoy aftar parties only two days a week skip dinner and take a heavy aftari (pakorey, chana chat, dahibarey, kababs, cutlets, chicken, sandwiches, noodles or pasta).
Frying should be in the mustard oil or desi ghee
