Every bride wants to look stunning on her wedding day and losing weight is often high on her wedding planning to-do list. The real secret to looking radiant on your big day is to nourish your body with all the goodness it needs. This will help control your weight, make your skin glow, your hair shine and your eyes sparkle!
To DO List
~ Allow at least 6 months if you are trying to lose weight before your wedding - crash diets don't work!
~ Reduce portion sizes - check out Spark People portion size guide
~ Plan healthy snacks & take them with you when you're running errands - this stops you grabbing the nearest fast food or candy bar because your dress fitting took too long and you're starving!
~ Drink water throughout the day - this will help cleanse your body and hydrate your skin
~ Eat more fruits & vegetables - increase those vitamins & minerals your body needs to GLOW!
~ Get enough sleep - take deep breathes to help your mind switch off from all the wedding ideas running through your head!
~ Exercise - cardio will help burn fat and weight training will help define your muscles. It's also a great stress buster during these hectic months!
DON'T List
~ Don't skip meals or snacks - this will sabotage your weight loss efforts
~ Be wary of diet pills, diet drinks and fad diets - they can have negative effects on your body and are no match for a healthy diet
~ Reduce or avoid alcohol - these drinks add extra calories and affect your mood and concentration at a time when you need your mind to be sharp so you don't forget any of those wedding details!
~ Don't obsess about your body - there's a gown available to flatter everybody. Focus on eating healthily instead and have fun trying on all those different dresses!
Good nutrition will carry you through these months of crazy, exciting planning and leave you with the energy to enjoy your wedding day and the healthy body to look & feel amazing in that gown!
