🇲🇾 Our FIRST time FASTING during RAMADHAN 2024🤐
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 เม.ย. 2024
- Our first time fasting for Ramadhan in Malaysia!
After our Iftar video, Fit, Hanani and Aisyah suggested to give fasting a go, alongside many comments asking for us to try it out.
This is something completely out of our comfort zones, as if you've been a fan of the channel for even a short period of time, you'll know how much both of us are into our food. It's half of the reason we wanted to travel this part of the world in the first place!
We knew this would be a challenge for us to do, however, decided to give it a go and see how the experience was.
Will we crumble hours into the challenge, or will we succeed? Watch to find out, and let us know in the comments if there is anything else we should try during Ramadhan!
Thank you for watching as always,
Jacob and Emma

Hey all 👋 Drop a like and give us a sub if you've enjoyed our Ramadhan videos!
This was definitely a tough one, but a great experience! We'd challenge so many others to try it at least once and get a glimpse of how people in less fortunate circumstances would feel. 😊
Viva Palestine..no water no food..free free Palestine..
So many people live in these conditions all over the world, it's such a sad situation.
@@DisappearforDaysit s genocide, not sthg normal.
Fasting for 14 hours and being satisfied after 5 minutes is the perfect reminder of how temporary and delusional the pleasures of this world are.
That’s an interesting way to look at it 😅 Thank you for watching 💚
even for muslims who fasted every year, the first week is quite a challenge, but then as the body adjusted to it, it feels normal. action speaks louder than words.. other than the Divine command, among the purpose of fasting are to empathize for the less fortunate, to increase the acts of kindness and to reflect on all the blessings that we all usually takes for granted. Kudos and congrats for your determination and effort to try fasting. Proud of you guys. 👍🏼❤💛
What a lovely comment ☺️ Thank you so much for your support 💚
Allah swt promises happiness for muslims during iftar.May Allah swt guide u, aminnn.
Thank you so much 💚
On the side, fasting also helps your stomach to rest after eating for 11 months😂. By the way it's a good training if you're planning to bring your weight down.
That's true, the other 11 months is a good time for all the rest of the foods to be eaten I guess 😂 for sure a food dieting technique!
Im fasting and today I’ve decided to clean my house and almost fainted twice…..fasting is not easy guys…. Muslim has been training for it for most of our lives….that is why when Eid finally comes, we celebrate so hard like giving ourselves a pat on the back….. you guys can do it, but if you can’t, then don’t force yourself….
Thank you for your kind words 💚
The 1st few days will be challenging even to us Muslim as our body are not used to not eating and not drinking in this wonderfully hot and blazingly sunny weather.
But it will get better once you are used to it..and now we are nearing the end of Ramadhan month.
Fasting is good for your soul and health❤
Yeah, we can imagine it must get easier as the month goes on and once your body gets into a routine! We like food too much so still feel we will struggle though 😂
@@DisappearforDays Hehe...good job to you both though❤️👍
Thank you! ❤️
Alhamdulillah..
Fasting in the month of Ramadhan is a normal thing for us Muslims in Malaysia
It must be such a challenge!
Congratulations! So proud of you! Your body will get used to it if you fast everyday in Ramadan. You'll enjoy the iftar! However, we muslims should control our appetite when breaking the fast. Don't eat too much at one go so that our stomach don't get overloaded with food. This is an excellent month to discipline ourselves, get healthier, control our emotion, be grateful and do good deeds.
It definitely was difficult to stuff out faces after Iftar. The food tasted so good after a day of being hungry 😅 it sounds like Ramadhan presents a different, but good, way to try and live life. ☺️
Well done guys! 😊😊😊...
The basic fasting is for hold our thirst and hunger..next level Fasting is an exercise of devotion to willingly renounce oneself, for a definite period of time, from all bodily appetites in order to form spiritual discipline and self-control.
Thank you! It was tough, but we're so glad we did it. ☺️
In general, fasting in the month of Ramadan has benefits for human health and it is also included in the amount of food and drink consumed [ the recommended amount in Islam ] during breaking the fast and sahur
Information for the uninitiated :
• sahur mean eating and drink before azan Subuh prayer time ( call to prayer from the mosque or surau at dawn ).
Thanks for the info ☺️ we can see it must have some health benefits, and eating less in general!
When we were kids most of our parents will teach how to fasting, first few days we only start fasting on half a day only. After that we will try to fasting all day.
After reaching adulthood fasting is a bit more challenging because we also had to work during Ramadhan. Most people will avoid thinking about food/drinks during the day and avoid watching any foods related items during the day. We mostly just focus on the work and time will go faster.
Also for Muslims Ramadhan is just not about fasting, it's also about giving to the less fortunate. Other things that Muslims is not allowed to during Ramadhan is Watching a movie/shows that contain a sex/lewd scene, not to listen to music and not to have any sexual activity during the day.
I guess it could be too tough on kids for a full day of fasting, so that makes sense they start by doing half days.
I think if we had other jobs it definitely would've helped. As we were in all day, all we kept thinking about was the food, but it did make us appreciate it more when it was time to eat.
Thank you for your insightful comment! ☺️
The first fasting is sometimes the hardest experience. Glad you guys made it through and made this lovely video. For the Muslim, it's once a year with a month for reflection and spiritual cleansing.
What a lovely home made meals for iftar. Those foldover looked amazing. Alhamdullilah.
Thanks Yasin! It definitely was a tough experience, but we came out of it with a new found appreciation and humility ☺️ thank you for the compliments on the meal! Not your typical Iftar meal we think, but it did the job and tested splendid 😃
@@DisappearforDays Splendid. In many other Muslim countries, bread and flatbread are staples for iftar. And yes, it's tough, however that difficulty during your fasting day, believe it or not, help build your inner strength, your patience, persistence and preserverance. And once you truly enjoy such an experience, with or even without food and drink, you are still able to do the things you need to do in a day. Most Muslim will do sahur, the preparation before starting your fasting day. Since my younger days, I don't really do sahur, I just drink some water, start my fasting until iftar. Sometimes after iftar, some cold cut fruits, some dates or kueh, some cold drinks (not iced drinks) and after prayer, I still continue with doing some errands or house chores, take a rest, then only after that, I have my meal of the day. But those days are gone, after my two depressions, I've to relearn quite a bit of my inner strength. 😀
@@DisappearforDays What's your brother's Utube is called? I like to watch what's the recipes in his kitchen? 😀
@@Yasin_Affandi Wow, we don't think we would be able to survive on that little, kudos to you. You'll probably notice how hard it was from how quickly we ate after 7:24pm 😂 But I guess ones inner strength and ability would learn/build over time as to where it becomes a lot easier. You'll relearn your over time I'm sure ☺
Nice video buddy. You can go to Ramadan Bazaar in the afternoon 😊
Thanks so much 💚 We have already been, check out the videos on our channel. We didn’t think we’d cope with going there in the heat without water though 😅
Just eat correctly early in the morning. Ask muslims what to eat or drink. Eg if you eat sugar water you are in trouble ,will get thirsty.
Thanks for the advice 💚
Fasting for whole month is like a day. 1st hour will feel hard but in the middle feel much better but whn it's nearly end will feel really really hard and time running so slow. 1st week will feel hard but the last 7 days b4 ramadhan month end feel so hard 😁
Fasting is not about can't eat and drink but also can't get angry with all shouting, yelling & cursing. A good way to teach us to patient and be more decipline. Don't worry next year i bet u both will try for whole month 🤭
That sounds like a real rollercoaster 😅 Very interesting to hear more about it ☺️
usually people who are fasting and working they deserve more credit than others who don't work or have easy job
Definitely! It must be so difficult to fast whilst doing manual labour, or intensive jobs. We are lucky that we could sit and not exhaust ourselves too much ☺️ kudos to those who are in tough jobs or out in the sun all day!
Mantap 👍🏼
Thank you! It was a tough day but we made it! 😪
Fasting also have many benefits to your health and body, its also train u have better focus.. So.. Just chill, i never hear people died from fasting hahaha..
I guess the more you do it, the better mindset you have as you train yourself to cope better ☺️
By now I am sure you will value just a glass of water that we take for granted all this while. Alhamdullilah
We certainly will, it definitely makes you see things differently 💚
First day is the hardest day
I can't see the second being any easier, but we'll take your word for it lol! We clearly like our food too much 😂😅
I was anticipating for your first sip of drink, coz thats the best feeling & would be the best reaction. lol. BTW, congrats to both of you!
Haha that was definitely the best part of the day for me 😅 Thank you so much 💚
Congrtaz guys for completing 1 day full fasting...maybe next time u guys can make it 2 days😊....cheers
That’s a good idea, probably best to build up slowly 💚
Glad you both experienced fasting for the first time and got over the line.
Us too! It was a very interesting experience 💚
Congratulations for completing one day fasting. It's hard at first but you'll get used to it after few days. Looking forward to more videos from you 👍
Thank you so much for subscribing! Hopefully you enjoy the rest of our videos since we've been over this side of the world. We're loving it and it's great to have you along with us ☺️❤️
@@DisappearforDays Actually I've subscribed your channel since last year but hardly leave any comments 😁
Oh that's so kind, we'd love to see you in our comments more. It's always nice to speak with people who follow us and are in our community, but if you'd rather not and keep in the background, that's more than okay as well. Don't feel pressured to ☺️ Thank you for your continued support with our channel, it means a lot ❤️
Much respect to you both for doing this. You guys are special.
Thank you so much, what a lovely comment 💚
Well done 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you 😀
Fasting for the first day is quite tough at times, leaving you dizzy and exhausted, but after a week, everything is fine.To avoid thirst, I do not consume msg, curry, or coffee in the morning.
That’s good to know 😅 We assumed it would get easier with time. Perhaps we need to do it for longer next time ☺️
Well done 👏🏻 you did well 💪🏻
Thank you so much ☺️
Well done guys 🎉
Thank you so much ☺️
alhamdulillah i use to fasting on monday and thursday since two years ago..praying i will istiqamah continue it until coming years insya-Allah
Do you fast every day since? Or still the Monday and Thursday? We are intrigued ☺️
@@DisappearforDaysother than fasting full month during Ramadhan, Muslims who wanted to fast on other months can fast on monday and thursday as it is sunnah which encouraged to follow (sunnah=Prohet Muhammmad habit). Fasting on other months are always to please our creator so naturally it serve as a reminder to not do bad things because you already sacrifice your day to fast so you naturally wouldn’t throw all that effort away over bad words/ bad actions…
well done guys.. both of u did it !!
Thank you so much! It was difficult but we are glad we did it in the end 😊
@@DisappearforDays i feel u
Bravo!
Thank you 💚
I just realize Jacob looks like Nigel Thornberry from "The Wild Thornberry" cartoon lose the beard keep the mustache and dye the hair and mustache orange pretty much look like the cartoon character 😁
I agrie XD 🤣🤣😂😂🗿
I can see the resemblance 😂
What have you started?! 😭😂
You guys totally done well I'm proud of you guys
Thank you so much! It was a struggle at times, but we guess that's half of the reason. To gain empathy and self restraint. It was a good experience ☺️
@@DisappearforDays Yes Ramadan also teaches about patience and trying to calm our tempers because we are hungry tired thirsty it's easy to fall out of patience that's why we need to remember why we are fasting.
Good job
Thank you so much 💚
@@DisappearforDays you're welcome 💙
Fasting is harder in the first three days usually, after that your body get used more on it and your mind learn to Ignore hunger signals until the proper time
I can imagine! I think your body would probably get into a routine as otherwise it would be so difficult! 😬
Kudos to you both. hope you guys can add the days of fasting in the future. yes, usually the 1st time, is the hardest, but you can set goals to it, like going to pasar ramadhan finding the foods before breaking fast or such....and its easier to do when all around you are doing it and yes make yourself busy so you dont think too much about it (puasa).....overall, thumbs up (terbaekk) 👍
Thank you so much! Hopefully if we try it again in the future, we'll be able to last 2 days, and maybe more from there - who knows! ☺️ Making yourself busy is definitely the trick we didn't utilise as much as we should have!
Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you ☺️☺️
congratulation ..... u made it ................. booth of u so cute : )
Aww thank you so much, what lovely, kind words 💚
A pro tip; during suhoor, you should eat food that are low in glycaemic index, as you iy would stay in your digestive system longer.
You also should avoid food with msg and other addictive substance as it would send signal to your brain that youre hungry
In my fridge during ramadan, i always keep yogurt and banana/date milk in case i woke up late
Other food options are fruits, lentils and complex carbohydrate like rice and wholemeal bread
Happy ramadan mubarak!
Thanks for the tips! We thought porridge would do the trick as it was slow releasing energy, and it worked pretty well with some simple fruits! Quick and easy to make also ☺️ Happy Ramadhan! ❤️
9:14 good experience..
It was definitely a bit eye opening! ☺️
Muslims not only fasting in Ramadhan, they also fast every week especially on monday n thursday for the pious one.some take of health advantage to fast.😊😊😊
Oh interesting! We can imagine it's a good dieting method! ☺️
Optional for that
really appreciates for that. at least try to feel and somehow may also appreciates everyone
It did make us think and appreciate the simpler things such a good that we can so easily take for granted. ☺️
❤🎉
💚
I very admire both of you........
That’s so lovely, thank you for your kind words 💚
Andai berlaku peperangan seperti di Palestine,sekurang kurangnya anda berdua adalah diantara orang- orang yang terselamat dari kebuluran buat sementara waktu.Ini adalah diantara hikmah berpuasa.Tahun depan cuba pula berpuasa 2hari.Semoga task anda bermanfaat untuk diri sendiri dan dunia.
Thank you! Maybe we'll have to try and see if we can make 2 days next time! 😬
After fasting for the whole day u will be more appreciate once the food and water enter ur body when break fast
We definitely were more appreciative and it has made us think differently about food and water since 💚
Welldone
Thank you ☺️
well done 😊😊
Thank you, and thank you for watching ☺️☺️
Well done guys! 🤠👍
With fasting we will appreciate our foods and water more and of course the taste will be delicious than before we fasting.
At least we have so many foods around us compared to the people who is hunger for the longer period or maybe days 😥
Thank you! ☺️
As we mentioned in the video, we really do feel privileged to have food in the fridge and knowing that we can eat if really need be. It must be so difficult for so many people in many different situations around the world where they don't know when their next meal is coming. 😓
👍👍👍
Thank you for watching! 😁❤️
to make fasting easier, make yourself busy.. until you don't have time to think about food.. that make the time looks like run faster.. one more thing to share, after a month fasting, on the 1st day of Eid, you will confuse to take food at day time.. because your body already used to it.. 😅
Yeah we did try to keep busy but our minds just couldn’t focus 😅 Yes I bet it must be confusing when you’re no longer fasting 😀
@@DisappearforDays the last 5 minutes of fasting is the longest time on earth😂
Hahahaha 10000%, we were counting down the milliseconds til we could eat 😂😅
For first timer, the first three days is the toughest, because your body is adjusting with not eating in daylight. I would recommend you to take isotonic drinks like 100 plus to maintain sodium level in your body besides water. It will give you the energy you need and make you feel less dehydrated.
That sounds like great advice. We’ll have to remember if we do it again 😅
time is relative. the trick is to DO things that you normally would do like chores or work or moving around rather than sitting in confined spaces where time moves slowly. cephalic phase of digestion is initiated during smelling of food being prepped and watching visually pleasing food presentation thats why your stomach will grumble and we muslims are advised not to do so. cardio activities will exacerbate the thirst so conserve that. and talking will make your mouth dry so avoid that. It also helps when your stomach is waving the white flag, you show the middle finger to it (sort of) and say Hungry?Good. (reverse psychology)
ever had one of those days where you just have so many things to do and when at first you look at the time it's 8am and then you look again and it's 4pm? yeah do those things.
I guess we did it wrong and didn't keep busy enough, but by the sounds of your comment, it also sounds like sleeping all day is a good idea 😉 my kind of fasting 😂
@@DisappearforDays but hey you guys did it! i enjoyed watching your documented experience :)))) have a nice day!
Thank you so much, we're so glad you enjoyed watching it and hopefully we did it justice! It was such a unique but fun experience!
It's just that you can't eat & drink for just a few hours, it turns out you're still alive right??.. that's how it feels to the brothers of the same religion (muslim) in Palestine who don't eat and drink for days.. this is the feeling of concern for our fellow human beings who are in trouble & hunger...what you feel is what they feel...
It definitely helps build empathy for people in those situations! It must be so much more difficult for them though! 😓
Enjoy your vlog 😊
Thank you 😊 Glad you enjoyed it 💚
Congratulations to both of you....
Thank you so much 😊 We’re so glad we did it 💚
Kudos u 2
Thank you so much 💚 It was a lot more difficult than we thought it would be 😅
Fasting in the month of Ramadhan, it's a good way to lose a few pounds. For me at least. Kudos to you both for being a good sport 👍
Haha, it's a good reason to start cutting weight back a bit after all the good food being eaten for the rest of the year!
Thank you for your comment, we really wanted to immerse ourselves in the culture here, give it a go, and see, and we're so glad we did! (Not at the time though, it was a struggle! 😂)
@@DisappearforDays I've subbed. I appreciate your efforts in getting to know/immersing in the local culture. I did the same when I first arrived in Old Blighty back in the 80's. In Malaysia now, but I have fond memories of the UK 😍
Thank you so much 🥰 I think it's only right to try and immerse yourself when living in another country and in general. It helps you to understand their ways of living and builds unity ☺️ We do miss the UK at times, but are so happy here as well 🥰
Fasting is good for your health too. 👍😎
It must be really good for dieting! 👍
Less 1 week to thw big day...end ramadhan...hope you guy can celebrate hari raya in malaysia....
We are going to, we can’t wait 💚
Once u get use to it, after iftar, a glass of water and some dates, you can go for another day.
Do you think it would get easier with time? 💚
@@DisappearforDays yes. The first few days u get headache, tired because u got glucose, caffein, insulin crash. Then the body adapts, maybe slow the metabolism a bit to preserve energy.
personally, after a week, i got traces of ketones and healthy glucose level all day. lose some weight too. Ramadhan is like a reset switch. U actually eat less on iftar. Just need lot of water.
It's so interesting how the body adapts when it needs to ❤️
first time is hard because your body not used to it,it get easier after few days
That’s good to know 😅 We didn’t know if we were just being particularly weak 😂
😁👍
Than you for watching! ❤️🥰
First
That was quick! 💨
Try not to sleep during fasting. Its make you hungry after wake up from sleep.
Oh no, we probably should have heard this before we did it 😅
I hope you guys could celebrate Eid fitri and experience the Open House during syawal and try the Malaysian hospitality
We are hoping so too as well, it would be such a lovely experience I'm sure! 😊
Respect
Thank you so much 💚
You're gonna get used to it after fasting for a week or two. Try next year.
Yes, we assumed it would get easier the more you do it. Maybe we’ll have to try again 😅
Fasting trick Ramadhan... drink salt water...
Doesn't this make you more thirsty? 😅
Nope, drink Celtic salt will make u water in the body will not lose...like went u sick, doctor give sodium chloride drip at u hand...
Oh interesting, we didn't know that was a thing! Thank you for the tip! ☺️
Good.😂😂
💚
I wonder if both you had shower during fasting ? You can actually take a shower to freshen your body or gargle your mouth during fasting....
Jacob had a shower after his haircut but then fell asleep straight afterwards 😂 That’s a good tip though!
Drinking caffeinated drink before start the day (fasting) is really a bad moves 😅. Your body will flush the caffeine and could resulted dehydration / thirsty
Oh no, I should have seen this advice before we started 😅
@@DisappearforDays no worries mate, you can always try next time. For suhoor, it is best to eat hard boiled eggs, overnight soaked dates, and some fruits. No carbs especially oats. No oats, no coffee, no instant noodles
Oh dear, we did this completely wrong then 😂 we thought the oats would give slow burning energy 😅
@@DisappearforDays if i eat oats for my suhoor, the only burning sensation i got is in my stomach 😹😹. So when are we going to see you guys fasting again? Come on, the first one is the kind of hit or miss try. For sure the next time will be much better (just imagine the sweet reward during the sunset break fasting hehe)
Oh dear! We love oats, especially before we go to exercise! We haven't got another fasting video coming out unfortunately, but keep your eyes peeled for Tuesday as we have another video coming out around the Raya season ☺️
The boy lok like he is weke all the time, not just wen he is fastering😆🤣😂🗿
Nigel Thornberry arms
U only 1 day fasting, how do u think Plastine people right now? Free Plastine, insyaallah ❤🎉😊
Ofcourse we realise it is nothing in comparison to what people in war stricken zones are going through. It did help us to empathize though, it must be so difficult for them 😓
Nobody die from fasting
Thank goodness 😅
Well you guys dont exactly has the body fat storeage...
We'll take that as a compliment! Maybe we should've bulked more before we started 😅😂
Fasting its not as u thought, U need calmness ,believeness and sacrifices
It was definitely more tough than we thought, calmness does not go hand in hand with hunger if it's Emma, she gets hangry 😂
Sains and islam🧐
I don't know if google translated that properly, so we don't fully understand, but thank you for watching ☺️❤️
@@DisappearforDays 👍u w c
You can imagine the hunger and thirst the Palestinians are suffering the past many years due to the Israeli illegal occupation.
Yes, it must be difficult for all innocent people who are in poverty due to war. It's such a sad situation 😞
Even Jesus fast like the Muslims.
Yes, so did the Jewish people in the desert I believe ☺️
u guys doing it right.. don't sleep straight away after eating sahur to avoid indigestion.. btw if u forgot & drink its okay u can continue fasting🤗
Thank you for the advice. Jacob loves sleeping far too much 😂
@@DisappearforDays i can see that😂🤣🤣🤣
7.04minute...ur face r shining...fasting effect...
😅 I felt so hot and sweaty all day! 💚
Just start slowly to train your body and mind, just like Muslims children started fasting, much like learning to ride a bicycle using training wheels.. You dont need to start like us at dawn. Start when you usually starts your day in the morning. If you are really struggling to the point of feeling too weak, dont force urself. You can break you fast earlier. Then gradually keep pn adding more hours. And keep urself occupied to keep ur mind of the hunger n thirst. Try not to stay too long under the hot sun. The weather is always hottest during fasting month over here somehow 🤷♀️
When we were small kids, we started fasting half a day. I remember when i was a kid, the hardest thing is the heat and thirst. I used to sit in front of the refrigerator to cool down 😂. Not air conditioning in those days!!
Thank you for the advice, we did throw ourselves in the deep end a bit didn't we, but it was a good experience still! It's typical the Malaysian weather is hottest when you don't want it 😂
I can picture you sitting infront of the fridge now for the coolness, to be honest when we showered we stood under the cold water to help cool off a bit also 😂
