TIPS

CELEBRITY trainers have shared some tips for

brides-to-be:

 Up your protein intake.

 Focus on refined carbohydrates like brown rice,

sweet potatoes and quinoa.

 Get your daily intake of fibre.

 Never skip the most important

meal of the day: breakfast!

 Eating little and often

is key.

 Don’t eliminate

foods; eat them in

moderation.

 Limit your alcohol.

 Focus on the goal.

THE VERDICT

THE aim is to eat as clean as possible – but

you do have to actually eat! Control your

portions, stick to what your body needs

and enjoy certain foods in moderation.

While staying active is always important, it’s

vital not to starve yourself in the hope of

looking your thinnest ever; no one wants a

skinny bride. Start meal prepping from now,

follow a healthy eating plan, and research

recipes in advance, say nutritionists. And

give yourself time to shed those extra kilos

by determining your timeline and accepting

a realistic number. It’s also important to

feed yourself well in the week leading up

to your big day – you need to stay fuelled

during this busy time. “Not eating enough

can sabotage your wedding weight-loss

efforts just as much as overeating can,”

stress experts! Rather consider the type of

calories you consume. Be wise and you’ll

look absolutely beautiful.
