“…Indeed, the study revealed a significant increase in daily energy intake during Ramadan exceeding the RNI by 18%. This result is in line with those of the studies carried out on the Moroccan and Tunisian populations [ 4 , 5 , 9 ], but in disagreement with other studies that reported either a decrease [ 6 ] or comparable energy inputs before and during Ramadan among other Tunisian populations [ 29 , 30 ]. As the increase in energy intake depends on the consumption of high-energy density foods associated with insufficient physical activity, it would be wise to limit the intake of carbohydrates, fat, and free sugars to avoid weight gain [ 26 , 27 , 31 – 33 ].…”

“…Similarly, for the Tunisian population [ 6 ], the intake of simple sugars during Ramadan in this study far exceeded the recommendations (80%). This increase could be due to the abundant consumption of traditional Moroccan preparations rich in simple sugars, in particular, chebakia, sellou, and sweet briwates specific to the month of Ramadan [ 35 , 36 ].…”

“…Another study reported that daily intake of energy, fat, and protein increases, while carbohydrate intake decreases [ 5 ]. Another research, on the contrary, showed a decrease in caloric intake and an increase in saturated fatty acids (SFAs) and simple sugars during Ramadan [ 6 ]. Furthermore, it has been reported that calcium is the micronutrient whose intake decreases the most during Ramadan [ 7 ] with a variation during this sacred month according to the age of the subjects studied [ 8 , 9 ].…”

Fasting in the month of Ramadan is a religious, cultural, and social ritual for Muslims. The benefits it is supposed to provide to people who practice it are often impaired by unhealthy lifestyles including diet. The present research aimed to study risky eating behaviors and the variation in food expenditure of the Moroccan population during Ramadan. This study was conducted in 2018 in 340 households in urban and rural localities in the Rabat-Salé-Kenitra region of Morocco. Information on eating habits was collected by a nutritional survey using the method of dietary history; household food expenditure and sociodemographic characteristics were collected by a questionnaire. The average age of the population is 40 ± 14 years; the majority (40%) has a middle standard of living, and the average food expenditure increased by 50% during Ramadan. The food survey showed a significant increase in energy intake ( p < 0.001 ), carbohydrate intake ( p < 0.001 ), sucrose intake ( p = 0.02 ), sodium intake ( p < 0.001 ), and calcium intake ( p < 0.001 ) and a significant decrease in protein intake ( p < 0.001 ) and lipid intake ( p < 0.001 ), with no significant change in saturated fatty acid intake ( p = 0.86 ) during Ramadan. These results show that some dietary behaviors adopted during Ramadan could promote the development or worsening of overweight and chronic diseases. These data reveal the importance of nutritional education adapted to this sacred month.

“…As for the effect of Ramadan fasting on the body composition of the diabetic patient, the results were discordant. The researchers Aloulou et al (36), Khaled and Belbraouet (7), and McEwen et al (37) reported changes, in other studies some changes were found (16,38,39) and for others no change was found (6,21,(40)(41)(42)(43).…”

Although Ramadan lasts only for 1 month each year, it can be accompanied by significant changes in: both energy and nutritional intake; in the diet composition; in the working hours; and the usual way of life. The majority of practitioners consume two meals, one after sunset (Iftar) and one before dawn (Sohor). During this month, it is also an opportunity to share a meal with family and friends, a period of highly intensified socialization. In parallel with the nutritional changes brought about by this unique pattern of fasting in Ramadan, other metabolic and physiological changes may occur, such as fluctuations in body weight and/or disturbance in the quantity and quality of the sleep-wake circadian rhythm. In the verses of the Qur'an, the exemption from fasting in certain situations such as illness is clearly stated. Despite this religious tolerance, many faithful who are eligible for the exemption observe the fast of Ramadan either for the spiritual aspect it provides by performing it, by religious guilt or to mark a normalization in the Muslim community for fear of the gaze of others. The world is experiencing an increase in the emergence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs); leading cause of the global mortality. Environmental and behavioral risk factors related to lifestyle, such as smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, unhealthy diet, and sedentarity have a causal association with NCDs. Other factors, such as genetic and physiological factors may also be associated (overweight, high blood pressure, dyslipidemia). Diabetes is one of the highest prevalent NCDs in the world and it continues increasing year by year. This chronic disease can lead to significant potential complications (degenerative, dermatological, and acute) to the patient's health. This requires an individual and appropriate care, both dietetic and therapeutic and over the long term will at best make it possible to sensitize the diabetic patient to the adverse effects related to his disease and thus improve its quality of life. Performing the Fast of Ramadan for a diabetic is a common situation. Diabetes is the only chronic disease widely studied in relation to Ramadan fasting. In the literature, many studies have investigated the effects of Ramadan intermittent fasting on diabetic patients. This article aims to provide a general overview and highlight if there are many effect of Ramadan fasting on diabetes, as an example of a NCDs.
