A Few Weeks Before Your Wedding Day

Eat low fat foods. If you are trying to lose weight, eating low fat foods is the easiest way to lose weight. Prepare your own lunches for work using as little or no butter, margarine, mayonnaise, or oil as possible. In general, it is more difficult to control the fat in your diet when eating out or having take-out food. If you choose to eat out, order grilled, or baked lean meats that have no added fats. Be aware that some salads have a higher fat content and thus more calories, than some meat dishes. Caeser dressing, or any cream-based dressings will be high in fat.

Avoid ‘junk foods’ such as fatty fast foods, chips, doughnuts, chocolate bars and pop. Have three regular meals each day. In the middle of the afternoon, have a light or low calorie snack, such as fresh fruit or some crackers with low fat cheese. This will maintain your energy level and control your appetite before dinner. Skipping breakfast and, or lunch will only cause your body to slow down; that is your body will not burn as much energy if you skip meals. Therefore, you will tend to gain weight and get that sense of fatigue so commonly experienced by people who skip meals or who try to lose weight quickly.

If you are trying to lose weight, avoid crash diets. Forget trying to lose weight that fast. Start early (at least a few months before the wedding), and go slowly. This way you will lose weight safely and permanently. A common error people make is to overestimate how many calories they burn off with a small amount of exercise. For example, you would have to jog for about one hour and a half to burn off a large bran muffin.

At each meal, have a high starch food, such as bread, potatoes, pasta, or rice. These foods are energy-releasing foods. They provide your blood with glucose which is sugar your body uses instantly for energy. Your brain remains alert, and your muscles ready for motion when you supply them with enough ‘glucose’. However, do not overeat; more is definitely not better. Have only one serving per meal. One serving would be, for example, half a cup of rice, or one small potato. Also, try to avoid fatty additions to these foods. Make a sauce with little or no fat to mix with your pasta. Have potatoes baked in the microwave with the skin instead of french fries. These are just some of the many things you can do to cut out the extra calories and maximize the nutritious quality of your meals.

Choose high fibre foods such as fresh fruits and vegetables, breakfast cereals with wheat, corn, oat bran, wholegrain breads and rice, as well as, beans and lentils as in split pea, chick peas, or bean soup. Fibre adds bulk to your diet; so it makes you feel full helping you control your appetite.
