If there’s one day you want to look and feel your best, it’s your wedding day. Luckily, following a few simple fitness and nutrition tips can easily achieve the body you’ve always dreamed of. Here are a few recommendations to get started!

Motivation

To lose weight, you need to have a plan. You need to know why you are doing it and what you want to achieve. You also should not set yourself impossible tasks. The average person usually loses between 1.8 and 3.5 kg each month. Aiming to “lose two sizes in 4 weeks” will likely result in relapses and overeating. You should not aim to become very thin; remember that you need to look healthy and attractive, unlike a model from a magazine.

The role of nutrition

Sports are essential, but you will not achieve the desired result without adjusting your diet. You need to eat often but in small portions. The interval between meals should be no more than 3 hours. A diet for weight loss should include:

• Fruits and vegetables: are low in calories and fat and high in fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Include them at every meal.
• Whole grains: whole wheat bread, brown rice, oats, etc. These foods are rich in fiber and help you feel full.
• Protein: lean meat, poultry, fish, tofu, beans, legumes, and eggs. Protein helps maintain muscle mass and provides essential nutrients.
• Dairy: low-fat or fat-free milk, yogurt, and cheese. Dairy is a good source of protein and calcium.
• Healthy fats: olive oil, avocado, nuts, and seeds. These foods help you feel full and satisfied.

If you’re trying to lose weight quickly, it’s best not to go extremes. It cannot be good for your appearance and well-being. A better way to lose weight is by gradually reducing your daily calorie intake and “unloading” weeks where you only eat apples and drink water. You should also avoid eating fats or carbohydrates.

You should not remember the time leading up to your wedding with stress. You should look and feel great on your wedding day, so make sure you eat a balanced diet with small portions 4-5 times daily. Say “No!” to added sugar, simple carbohydrates, fast food, and alcohol. The week before your wedding, eat foods that are easy to digest and make you feel good.

Fitness

Think about your plans when you are training. Talk to a trainer about what you should do. Choose sports activities that you like the most. You can start anywhere, like running, yoga, crossfit, boxing, or dancing!

It is best to alternate cardio and strength training workouts. This way, you will work on your endurance and get a toned figure simultaneously. However, give your muscles time to rest after intense workouts. If you work out more than four times a week, you will only wear yourself out and slow down your muscle growth.

Daily regime

To be healthy, you need to have a daily routine. It includes going to bed and getting up at the same time every day, eating regular meals, and getting regular exercise. It usually takes 3-4 weeks for someone to form a habit, so stick to your new routine for the first month. After that, it will become more accessible and more automatic.

Positive mood

Bridehood is a very special time in a girl’s life. Make sure to fill it with positive emotions and communication with your loved one. Do not let the stress of preparations get to you. Instead, try to relax and enjoy your new healthy habits. After all, you are doing this for yourself and your future.
