Sarah's mom, I think you are making a mistake by doing this diet (especially phase one) during Ramadan. You are going to put your body into starvation-mode. Whatever you lose will come right back as soon as Ramadan is over and you are eating more regularly.
All the protein you are eating is important, but you need the carbs for energy throughout the day.
Anyway, this is just my advice - I agree with your husband that you should wait until Ramadan is over to start the diet. You can still manage to eat sensibly during Ramadan. You can opt for whole grains, instead of white, cook with burghul instead of rice, have mashed vegetables instead of potatoes, etc.
