You’ve been dating for quite a bit of time and you’ve gotten comfortable in your relationship. You’ve even gained a few pounds in the last couple of weeks. But IT finally happened – he proposed and yes he should love you no matter what. But you want to look fabulous on your big day. And so you start on your quest for the best weight loss or diet plan.

Ok, there are a million weight loss programs and diet plans out there that claim to work. But for me, just changing your lifestyle can give you great results. Not everyone has a year to plan a wedding, some people prefer to get married sooner than later but these 6 tips below will propel you to the weight you want, and the great thing is that you will be healthier.

1. Get moving. Life keeps us busy and sometimes you might be too tired to go to the gym or go for that jog or walk. If you cannot make time for exercise, start by using stairs instead of the lift, park at the farthest parking space so you have a chance to walk, dance to a song that you like. It can be anything, but just get moving. It might not seem like a lot but the little things do count because they add up.

2. Reduce your alcohol intake.  Alcohol has calories and sugars in it and it suppresses the weight loss process. The energy that the alcohol gives your body is not easily used by the body, as a result it oxides it into a form that the body can use. The nutrients in your body (the carbohydrates, fats and the proteins) that are supposed to be oxidized then get stored in the body

3. Increase your vegetable and fruit intake. I am sure you have heard this before and it really would do wonders, not just for your weight loss, but for your body being healthy. Instead of having a whole dish with mashed potatoes, include veggies or a salad.

4. Eat smaller food portions. Spread your food intake throughout your day into smaller 5 to six meals instead of one big meal. This way the energy you are injecting into your body will have a better chance of being used immediately than to be stored.

5. Eat breakfast. Breakfast is really important as it kickstarts your metabolism. Skipping breakfast propels your body to get into starve mode, thereby reserving the energy instead of using it

6. Drink plenty of water. Not only will you stay hydrated, you will flush out fat breakdown by-products and other body toxins. Also all the chemical reactions in the body happen in the presence of water, and that includes weight loss.
