EVERY bride wants to look her best on her wedding day and as a result many brides focus only on losing weight in a short time frame. The stress that sometimes accompanies the desire to lose excess kilos means that many young women go on a crash diet or use dangerous and untested diet pills.
While the effects in the short run may be desirable, it’s the long term health which ultimately suffers. What many brides find is that they binge eat after their wedding and in the process pile on more weight then they had initially lost as their metabolism rate has been affected.
Basic recommendations of Weight Loss Diet
Start a supervised weight loss diet at least 3 to 4 months before the wedding.Follow a diet that is nutritious and which allows you to lose no more than two to three kilos a month.
The most important guideline is to adopt a diet as a ‘ change of life plan’ not simply as a means to lose weight. It is also important to set a realistic goal. No matter how long you are on a diet, try not to lose more than 10 kilos as the effects of such a loss will affect the quality of your skin and hair.
The diet should consist of three meals, supplement this with nutritious snacks throughout the day. The diet should be mainly comprised of milk and milk products, sprouts, soy, egg whites, chicken or fish and lots of vegetables and fruits. Try and avoid vegetables like potato and yams, as well as heavy dals at night. When craving a juice, opt for vegetable based ones and also try to have an early dinner.
Above all, don’t skip meals as this leads to a slow down of the metabolic rate and you might gain weight instead of losing it.
