The Wedding: Your Big Day That You've Been Dreaming About Since You Were A Little Girl...
It's Around The Corner 10 Weeks and Counting But That 10 Pounds You Wanted To Lose Is Still There!
So What Is The Best Kept Diet Secret?
Plan and Simple fact....there is no secret to dieting for some people it works and for other it does not. You know your body and how it takes to certain foods, if high carbs are a tradition on your dinner plate than that's probably where you should start! Carbohydrates (as everybody) knows can really pack on the pounds but there are good carbs that you need to help your body maintain a safe and healthy diet. For example, its always good to start your breakfast off with a kick try eating whole grain foods in the morning to give you energy, then cut out the bag of potato chips and bring on the beans and nuts! Both great sources of good carbs and good protein, which keep you buring fat throughout the day!
Some Points To Live By...Or Until Your Wedding Day!
- Avoid processed foods wherever possible.
- Balance your meals with chicken, lean meats and fish.
- Cut down on the fatty foods and the high fat dairy foods but still ensure that you have plenty of protein.
- Drink plenty of water every day, carry a bottle around with you and top it up frequently.
- Eat plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables.
- If you don't already do it, try to exercise regularly, at least two or three times a week. Perhaps you and your partner could take dancing lessons? Yoga is a great way to exercise and keep you calm and relaxed.
- Introduce fibre into your diet such as whole grains and brown rice.
- Make sure you eat a good breakfast every day.
- Reduce the amount of alcohol you drink.

Treadmill, Elliptical, or Sleep?
Well I can answer that one for you...SLEEP! But when it comes to the big day I would be wishing I had been running and cutting that fat off! Putting 25 mintues to 30 minutes a day into working your butt of will give you BIG results, no matter the size. The Elliptical machine works wonders for women, toning the buttox, thighs, and even arms! It's an intense workout that can jump start your body into a more toned, defined, sexy woman....giving you the PERFECT shape for that PERFECT wedding gown!

With the Treadmill you get a slightly differnt look, this would be your fat burner....if you want to lose only pounds than the treadmill is for you! But if you want to tone your body while losing weight the Elliptical is the perfect machine! And if you don't care than SLEEP as much as you possibly can!
What About The "Day Of," What Should I Eat?
Be sure to eat a little something before you leave for the church, you don't want your stomach rumbling through the service.- Drink plenty of water. By all means drink coffee but don't go overboard.
- Make sure you have a good breakfast, nothing too big or heavy.
- Take a few little snacks with you to nibble on but avoid anything crumbly or sticky.
Remember, on the day it is important to eat and drink something. Lack of fluid can cause dehydration and the last thing you want to happen is one of you passing out during the photographs.
It is important that with your wedding day in mind, you are mindful about your fluid and calorie intake. As long as you are both careful and plan sensibly you will look and feel wonderful on the biggest day of your lives.
