As the beautiful bride, you need to look your absolute best. This means that your wedding dress must fit you. A tight and uncomfortable wedding dress is a potential nightmare waiting to happen. 

But that’s not all. Now that everyone has a phone with a great camera, every bride is one potential wedding dress mishap away from going viral. So, in simple terms, you cannot afford to have that happen.

But if you’ve gained weight because of the lockdown and you’re unable to fit into your dress, the good news is you can do something about it starting now. In this blog post, you’ll learn how to rapidly lose that excess weight in time for your wedding.

Start Dieting

Depending on how much time you have till the wedding, dieting can work for your weight loss. This method works for brides whose weddings are 60-120 days away.  And by dieting, we mean high protein, low carb diets. 

A high protein, low carb diet containing nutrient-dense superfoods can help you lose between 25 and 45 lbs within 60-120 days. Remember that weight gain or loss is often an input-output issue. If you eat less than your body needs, your body will need to tap into its fat reserves to fuel your body. 

Therefore, the goal of your dieting is to ensure that you’re always in a calorie deficit. This means that the number of calories that you’re consuming should be less than the amount that your body requires.

Workout and Exercise a Lot

Once you start dieting, it’s important to engage in activities that will further force your body to tap from its fatty reserves to provide you with the energy that you need. This is where exercising and working out will help. 

Mix and match your exercise regimens with high-impact, medium-impact, and low-impact exercises. Examples of high-impact exercises include running, high-intensity interval training, weight lifting –don’t worry, this will only tone your muscles and force your body to burn more fat, and strength training.

Medium impact exercises include medium-paced jogging, brisk walking, medium intensity swimming, water aerobics, and riding a bicycle. Low impact exercises include pilates, walking, yoga, leisurely cycling, and swimming.

Regulate Your Portions

Instead of eating 3 full meals, divide your meals into three portions each and spread them throughout the day. This way, you’ll eat in small portions, and your body will have enough time to break down the food and use it up before your next meal. 

This way, your body won’t need to store up any fat because there’s none available. And remember to completely cut out all junk foods including sugary drinks and fast food during this period.

Conclusion

If you practice all three things over the next 60-120 days, you will surely lose weight in time for your wedding and comfortably fit into your beautiful wedding dress –remember to wear a waist trainer to enhance your figure. Here’s wishing you an amazing wedding day and the beginning of the best years of your life.
