Sport is a cure for stress
Physical activity perfectly relieves stress and emotional tension that almost every bride experiences. A bike ride, a short hike with tents or a walk along the mountain trails - an active weekend getaway will cope with excess calories, distract you from wedding preparations, and restore the emotional balance that you so need. Don't forget that losing extra pounds and stress are incompatible.

It is necessary to prepare for the wedding celebration in advance.
Reality does not always correspond to our plans. Then girls ask themselves the question: how to look your best, feel great and outshine everyone with your beauty? Pre-wedding chores often don’t leave time for proper self-care. Almost all brides put off losing weight until the last minute and go on a restrictive diet, which results in loss of strength and may even lead to a nervous breakdown! What a pre-holiday mood this is, when all your strength is thrown into the fight against the hated extra pounds!
To prevent this from happening to you, start taking care of yourself in advance. The optimal solution would be to start losing weight six months or several months before the upcoming celebration. Try to create a detailed calendar for the bride, planning out the schedule of pre-wedding chores and self-care. This way you can carry out your plans without much hassle and unnecessary hassle and get everything done. Include gym sessions and changes in your diet into your bride's calendar. The dates of visits to beauty salons should also be reflected in the calendar.
- About four months before the wedding, review your diet and include time in your schedule for exercise , going to the pool, or just start running in the mornings and evenings.
- A couple of months before the wedding, eat more fish, dairy products, and nuts - this will strengthen your hair and nails. Stop eating fatty, smoked, salty, sweet foods.
- Eat more whole grain bread. Avoid alcoholic drinks, as they contribute to excess weight gain. Drink 1-2 liters of plain water daily.
Physical activity should be balanced
When working out in the gym, do not neglect basic exercises. If you set out to achieve a flat stomach, then just pumping up your abs will be ineffective. Squats, deadlifts and pull-ups remain the most effective exercises because they work different muscle groups. Another universal exercise is the plank. Use different options for its implementation - from simple to complex - and the result will not be long in coming.
How to Look Unforgettable in Your Wedding Photos
How you can help yourself:
- First and most importantly, calm down and stop rushing. Be a bride and feel what this time is about for you? To do this, use anything - breathing exercises, meditation, pleasant meetings with already married friends, and shopping trips.
- Return to a healthy and proper diet nutritionists never tire of repeating and writing about . To do this, be sure to read the article - Healthy Eating Pyramid. And maybe you will have to learn to cook for yourself, for your slimness and your beauty, so that later you can delight your husband with the delights, or maybe you will find everything you need ready-made in a nearby store.
- Restore your routine and eat at intervals of no more than 5-6 hours, since by skipping the time allotted for lunch or a snack, you are unwittingly programming yourself to overeat . And excess food will affect your volume.
- Get plenty of sleep and rest! We restore our body not only with food, we always need to remember this! All studies confirm the importance of sleep, the results of these studies can be found in the article - The relationship between sleep duration and weight gain.

Proper nutrition is the key to success
Changing your body for the better is only 30% dependent on exercise and 70% on nutrition. But a sharp reduction in caloric intake and fasting will not help here. Eat about 1800 kcal per day (or calculate your individual norm) with high-quality and balanced food, rich in vitamins and minerals.

No extremes
Trying to lose weight, most brides go on a strict diet and dramatically increase physical activity. This method gives fantastic results in the first 2-3 weeks, but then no one can withstand such a tough regime and breaks down, and the kilograms return to their place. Don’t be a victim of extremes and change your lifestyle gradually - make hearty and healthy breakfasts, eat more vegetables and start with 1-2 workouts a week.
The weight will begin to gradually decrease, and as soon as it stops, slightly increase physical activity, add walks after dinner and reduce the amount of sweets. Don’t put stress on your body, because the process itself is no less important than the result.

Thus, exclude from your diet:

- lean fish;
- pasta from durum wheat;
- yogurt, kefir and low-fat cottage cheese.

Cook it yourself
All food you prepare yourself will be many times healthier than store-bought food. We are talking not only about semi-finished and finished products, but also about curd cheeses, yoghurts, cookies and much more. You control how much butter, flour, sugar or salt you add, and you know for sure that there are no artificial additives in the composition. Replacing the cake with a fresh casserole, cookies with homemade pastries, and the curd mass with cottage cheese with fruit is not at all difficult, and you won’t have to give up your favorite dishes.
