Posted on: September 17, 2009

Wedding is one of the most important event in one’s life especially for women. Before your big day, you want to lose weight naturally so you’ll look fit and and beautiful on your wedding gown. To achieve your desired weight, nutritional consultant, Kumar Bahal, gives you some ideas about wedding weight loss.

There are genetic and hormonal influences on body weight. Naturally excess weight can be the result of an imbalance of calories consumed versus calories burned during or through physical daily activities and exercise. Nutrition and physical activity are critical components for lifelong health. The following factors, usually working in combination, can contribute to weight- loss in achieving a healthy weight through dietary changes, increased physical activity and behavior modifications.

Dietary Changes

Brides adopting a new eating style that promotes weight loss must include lowering your total calorie intake. One way you can lower your calorie intake is by eating more plant-based foods: fruits, vegetables, whole grains, fiber rich foods such as legumes and complex carbohydrates, adequate protein in the form of fish, lean poultry, non-fat dairy and complementary proteins.

Increased physical activity

Cutting 250-500 calories from your diet daily can help you lose half to one pound a week, but by adding a 30-minute brisk walk four-to six-days a week and you can double your rate of weight loss.

Behavior modification

In order to lose weight and keep it off, you need to make changes in your lifestyle.

A behavior modification program led by a professional can help you examine your current habits by having a plan that includes exercise, eating habits, weight-loss goal, portions control and how to avoid food triggers that can be unhealthy.
