“I got morning prayers usually at like 4:30 am. So you have all the way up until that 4:30 am to eat or drink. So, I’ll probably wake up at 4 am. I’m treating it like I just had a wake up so I’m drinking a Pedialyte. Making sure that I have good carbs in. I’m eating white rice, eggs, and good protein. So I just have to be very smart with what I’m eating and not just like, junk,” said Belal Muhammad to Joe Rogan.

Belal Muhammad was quick to correct it by mentioning the adjustments the body makes as the days progress. “You never body never knows it’s limit,” said Belal, highlighting how his body gets used to the routine after Day 4.
