Weight Loss Tips for Wedding Dresses

Have you been skipping seconds and passing on brownies because you have a big day coming up? Do you want the light to reflect off of your toned biceps and make guests pull out their sunglasses as you walk down the aisle, or have rice bounce off of your rock hard calves as you leave for your honey moon?

If the answer is yes, and you're trying to find the right diet and exercise plan to help you lose weight and fit into that hip-hugging white wonder of a dress then we're here to help.

 

The key is to give yourself enough time to implement a diet and exercise plan so that you'll be able to develop habits that you can sustain until the wedding. 2-6 months before your wedding day is usually a good window of time to begin (depending how badly you need to lose weight or how much you want to tone), and if you only have a week until your big day then click your heels three times and hope that your fairy god-mother comes to your rescue.

Step One: Detox

First, you need to cleanse your system of all the toxins and chemicals that have built up in your digestive system. These poisons are coating the lining or your large intestine and making it difficult for your body to absorb all of the nutrients it needs from your food in order to fuel the fat-burning functions in your body. You can begin a colon cleanse naturally or with the help of a commercial cleansing product.

 

To naturally cleanse, you need to stay away from processed food and food that has been genetically modified or treated with hormones. This most likely includes dairy, flour, soy, processed meats, and sugary snacks and treats. If you can't pronounce the ingredients on the label then they have no place being in your body. If you'd prefer to use a cleansing aid then we'd recommend a product like the 7 Day Slimming Pill, Cleansonix, or Colovox. All of these supplements will gently cleanse your system and leave your body ready to take on the next step in your wedding day prep.

Step Two: Diet

Now is the time for you to establish some healthy habits that are not going to be too extreme but are going to get you through the next few months successfully. Follow these simple tips as general rules for effective weight loss:

 

Drink Water - you should be drinking half your weight in ounces of water every day in order to keep your body hydrated and functioning at its peak

Skip the bread basket - processed flour and carbs are difficult to process and often end up being stored rather than used for energy.

Never skip breakfast - you need to eat a breakfast high in protein or whole grains (a protein shake, oatmeal, or egg white omelet are good choices) so that your metabolism will get a boost in the morning and so that you'll stay fuller than if you had had a sugary cereal or granola bar
