Advanced Diets Advice & News

Every bride and groom-to-be wants to look good on their wedding day.  It’s going to be an unforgettable day, after all – with guests to witness it and photographers to capture all the beautiful decors, the exquisite cake, the excited well-wishers, the cute wedding favors, and, well, almost every angle of the bride and groom. This thought, however, heightens the demand of desiring to shed the extra fats that are building up to become your first set of love handles!

If you’re thinking about losing those extra pounds before you tie the knot, the first ideal thing you need to do is visit your doctor.  Before you get into any diet or exercise regimen, it is always safer to consult your physician first.  He or she will be in a position to tell you exactly how overweight you are (if you’re, truly, overweight), check your heart and lungs, and let you know your overall physical condition.  He or she will also probably be able to suggest a suitable diet, or refer you to a licensed dietician.

If you have no medical issues, then here are a few pointers on how to reduce a few pounds:

·Don’t skip meals.  Instead, take a balanced meal five or six times a day – in smaller servings.  This way, you will get the nutrients your body requires but you will be able to burn the food faster.

·Avoid junk food and fast foods.  Instead, take healthy snacks (like mixed dried fruits or nuts) with you anywhere and everywhere you go.  This will help you avoid unnecessary cravings and unhealthy in-between snacks.   In fact, you might want to share your favorite carry-along healthy snack as edible wedding favors for your guests.

·Increase your consumption of fruits and vegetables.  Load yourself up with foods high in vitamins and minerals but low in fats and sugar.  High-fiber foods boost digestion, increase metabolism, and give a feeling of fullness.

·Drink water.  Lots of water.  Stay away from carbonated drinks and sweetened beverages.

·Be active.  Exercise not only helps trim down the body, it also reduces stress.  But exercise is not limited to going to gym – you can take more walks, go swimming, ride your bike, etc.

What it actually takes to lose those excess fat is a balanced diet, a conscious effort, and lots of discipline.  You can also incorporate tea or herbal tea into your diet, which would likewise be good as tea wedding favors for your guests. Whatever you do, remember you only get married once. Savor every moment!
