Introduction
Best Practice Online Survey Among School Children During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Weight loss is a natural process of weight management in life but the process and effectiveness varies
in Malaysia 327
from individual to individual. This study attempts to assess the effectiveness of an Islamic approach of
the sunnah fasting (Mondays and Thursday) combined with healthy plating as part of a weight loss
intervention through the views of the participants.

of the intervention. Four groups of participants (two successful and two unsuccessful) were invited in

thematically analyzed.

In total 21 participants were interviewed. Four themes emerged -­‐ efficacy towards intervention,
barriers and facilitators to success, support and sustainability. Participants who were success attributed

having a strong support system at home or at work and the sense of competitiveness as the main key
to who were successful. Similarly, the same attributes are also the reason to those who did not
succeed in losing the prescribed weight. Most suffered difficulty of at least one month to adapt to the

intervention. Sporadically in both groups stated the intervention is sustainable for a long period.
Individual motivation plays a strong role in the success or failure in weight loss.
