Fatafeat Ramadan Magazine offers sumptuous dessert recipes. Do we have to skip desserts in Ramadan to maintain our weight? NO. The thing to do is to eat desserts 2 to 3 hours after iftar because eating desserts immediately after iftar increases the size of our stomachs, delay in digestion and causes fluctuations in blood sugar which increases sugar cravings. And when we eat them, we should eat in moderation.
