Pre Wedding Diet Practical Tips:

The Food Journal

The very best pre wedding diet practical tips I can give you is to start a food journal.

The first thing you probably need to do, is to buy yourself a notebook and keep it with you at all times. Write down everything that passes between your lips. Section it into the day, time, what you ate and how much. It's important to be really honest, if you decide not to write in the MacDonalds burger you had, it's not going to help much.

The purpose of this is basically to decide where you are with your eating habits and to make objective in-roads into which areas need improvement. So the first of the pre wedding diet practical tips I can give you is to start a food journal for atleast a week, you'll be surprised about how revealling it can be.

Once you've done this, you'll be able to see - alright, I'm not drinking enough, or I need to eat more fruit and vegetables. Then it's a matter of implementing these changes into your diet consciously. If you're a persistent fast food eater while out shopping, for example, it's important to be organised. Keep healthy snacks in your purse such as an apple, apples have a GI of 40, which is a low glycemic index rating. What this means is that the natural sugar in the apple is released slowly into your blood stream and is less likely to induce insulin excretion (insulin is responsible for helping the body process sugars and when blood sugar levels are high, signals the body to store them as fat). It also gives you sustained energy, not a quick burst of energy as some fast foods will do and then leave you feeling hungry 10 - 20 minutes later.

The second of the pre wedding diet practical tips I can give you, is to maintain your personal food journal and use it as a motivational tool as well to track how well you are doing. If you use the journal properly you'll be able to see where you are succeeding in maintaining healthy eating habits and where you're falling down. Pretty soon, these habits will become like second nature to you, it might be hard to keep the food journal at first but it will be well worth it.

So there it is, while this is not an exhaustive list of pre wedding diet practical tips and do's and don'ts when going on a pre-wedding diet, these tips will put you on the road towards achieving your goal weight.
