‘Your Weight in Gold’ is the title of a campaign promising one gram of gold for every kilo shed, provided a minimum of 2 kg of weight are lost by August 16.

The campaign coincides with the month of Ramadan. During Ramadan, the faithful do not eat, drink or smoke between dawn and sunset. But many tend to tuck in heartily after dark, despite health warnings against overindulgence.
