I live in a Muslim country.  There is PLENTY of binging and unhealthy eating during Ramadan.  My female colleagues at work, who are Muslim, were just talking about how they've gained weight during Ramadan.  They are too exhausted from staying up late to exercise, and they are eating more "celebration" foods that are carb-heavy at night.

None of my Muslim friends and colleagues are actually "fasting."  They have simply reversed their eating window from daytime to night/early morning.  They start eating in the early evening, then have more late, and have a very early breakfast.  A lot of the foods are high-carb, and they tend to make the early morning meal big to get them through work.

Not Ramadan: eating during the day.

Ramadan: eating the same amount or more in the night and very early morning.

Before I came here, I thought Ramadan meant actual "fasting", with only one meal in the evening and then that was it, but no.  That's not what it is.
