If you are preparing for your wedding, you have a long list of tasks to prepare for the big day. One of the things is important to most brides getting in shape. You want everyone at the wedding to admire you in that sleeveless, strapless, low-back wedding gown you've been eyeing for months. The first thing you have to do is start working with a personal trainer. A custom designed nutritional plan and workout will eliminate fat, increase your energy and enhance your shape. You need intelligent exercise and balanced nutrition to look fantastic on your wedding day. Fad diets, diet pills, and cleanses do not work. Here are the 5 most important tips on how to eat well before the wedding.
2. Maintain the 3 hour spacing between meals. Trying to starve off the weight will not work. What does work is eating small meals about every 3 hours. If you are hungry all the time, you will cheat on the diet. If you are not, it's much easier to follow. You also have to eat before your daily workouts or you'll run out of gas and actually gain weight. What to eat before your workout? Try some protein and complex carbs, like chicken breast and an apple, an hour before gym time.
3. Avoid fast food. If you want to reach your fitness goals, make sure you are always prepared. Stock your kitchen cabinets and freezer with quick and healthy snacks like apples, natural peanut butter, rice cakes, cocktail shrimp (without sauce!), fresh veggies and potatoes. But if you must stop by a fatty drive-through, order a grilled chicken salad and skip the cheese and the dressing.
4. Eat in. Try to eat at home as often as you can. If a busy schedule takes you out more than usual, ask the waiter to skip the bread basket, stay away from a pre-dinner cocktail and don't order dessert.
5. Just say no to drinks. Alcohol is extremely fattening and high in calories and is metabolized like sugar. Don't drink any beverage with calories. An occasional diet soda or tonic water is as far as you should go for the time being. You can have that flute of champagne after the wedding photos were taken.
Now that you've got your eating habits under control, make sure work out regularly and in no time you will fit into the dress of your dreams.
