PERSONAL FITNESS BEFORE

Few weeks before
Eat low fat food since it is the easiest way to lose weight. Prepare your own lunches, using as little or no oil/butter at all. In general, it is most difficult to control the fat in your diet. While eating out, order grilled or baked food since that has no fat. Be aware that some salads are higher in fat than some meat. Avoid junk food such as fatty fast foods, chips, doughnuts and chocolate. Have three regular meals each day. In the middle, have a low calorie snack like fresh fruits or some crackers. This will maintain your energy level and control your appetite before dinner.

Skipping breakfast/lunch will only cause your body to slow down i.e. your body will burn as much energy if you skip your meal and this could lead to weight gain. If you are trying to lose weight, avoid crash diets. Forget trying to lose weight quickly. Start early and go slowly. This way you will lose weight safely and permanently. High starch food such as bread, potatoes, pasta or rice are energy releasing food and provide your blood with glucose. Choose high fibre food such as fresh fruits and vegetable, breakfast cereals with wheat or corn, oat, bran, whole grain bread and rice as well 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.

Day before the wedding
If you are going to have coffee unless decaffeinated, do not have more than you usually do. Caffeine is a stimulant which causes your heart rate to increase. It may keep you awake the night before your wedding. You may be anxious enough. You do not need any extra caffeine. Colas, tea and some medications also contain caffeine . B e aware of this and try to avoid them. Forget taking vitamins and mineral supplements, they do not provide your body with energy, they don't control stress. Rely on healthy foods to give your body the energy vitamins and minerals it needs. Pack some food and beverages for the time period between your ceremony and reception. Avoid trying new food. It's a good idea to exercise the day before your wedding day. A good walk on your own will do wonders physically and mentally. Take lots and lots of rest the day before your wedding.

Day of the wedding
Start your day with a good breakfast. Include bread/cereal/fresh fruit and a glass of milk. Having some high protein source such as cheese/ham will maintain your energy level until lunch. Avoid having simply a glass of juice or something sweet that will give you immediate energy which will not last for very long. Limit the amount of coffee; it contains caffeine that will act as a diuretic. Pack some fresh fruits ; many of them are rich in potassium and minerals. As for what to do during the reception, there is no secret to that, just eat, drink and be merry. Enjoy your wedding day and take good care of yourself.
