If you’re not particularly thrilled with your body, you’ve probably been dieting as your wedding day approaches in an attempt to reach your desired weight before the walk down the aisle.\u00a0 Many brides do this but find that they are lacking a few pounds a week or so before the wedding.\u00a0 If this sounds familiar, here are some important wedding tips<\/a> to lose those last pounds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Eat More Often
\nWow – didn’t know it would be so easy, did you?\u00a0 That’s right.\u00a0 If you want to lose those last pounds before your wedding day, eat more often but eat much smaller portions.\u00a0 By doing this, you will be giving your digestive system a break as well as speeding up your metabolism.\u00a0 As your metabolism kicks into overdrive, you will burn more fat and calories – and lose more weight.<\/span><\/p>\n

Drink More Water
\nAnother important thing that will help you lose those last pounds is drinking more water.\u00a0 Most experts recommend that you drink 8 glasses of water each day.\u00a0 Not only does this help you feel full for a longer period of time, but it aids the body in the natural fat and calorie burning process.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you find it difficult to drink so much water each day, there are a few different things you can do.\u00a0 Go to bed after drinking 4 ounces of water and drink 4 more when you wake up.\u00a0 This is one glass gone – only 7 more to go.\u00a0 If you don’t like the taste of water, slip a wedge of lemon in to create a more palatable drink.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cardio Exercise
\nDon’t neglect your exercise as you try to lose those last pounds.\u00a0 Anything that gets your heart pumping and makes you break a sweat is an excellent exercise to do.\u00a0 For instance, jumping rope, skating, dancing and even jogging can help you lose those last pounds.\u00a0 While most people aren’t overly fond of exercise, doing it regularly will boost your energy and even your sense of well-being!\u00a0 Exercise each day for about a half an hour to forty-five minutes at a time.<\/span><\/p>\n

Skip the Sugar
\nIn the last week before the wedding, don’t indulge in processed sugar at all.\u00a0 Instead, fill your rumbling tummy with fresh fruits and vegetables, nuts, beans and lean meat.\u00a0 This will help get rid of those last stubborn pounds and you may notice that you feel a lot better too!\u00a0 These foods are great for your health and provide important nutrients and vitamins.<\/span><\/p>\n

By following the tips above, you can lose those last pounds and feel beautiful and confident in your wedding dress<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
