JF: How long should a bride plan for her weight loss program (before buying that dress!)?
TWE: Brides wanting to lose more than 20lbs should allow for 6 weeks minimum, for over 30lbs at least 8 weeks.
JF: Can you share with us secrets to slimming down in a healthful way right before the big day?
TWE: I do have a few tips that I’ll share with you for some quick results before the big day. First of all cut out dairy products right away. This will reduce bloating and give your tummy a flatter look within a couple of days. Also try moving your dinner time up a couple of hours earlier, and focus on hydration in the later portion of the day. Lastly, eliminate calories from beverages and drink only natural waters such as watermelon or mint waters from my detox program.
TWE: A wellness workshop refers to a class that involves some learning and some hands on work in a topic that gives you some knowledge or skill to help improve your level of health and wellness such as medicinal foods, probiotic cooking or essential oils workshop.
TWE: If you’re looking to do a detox program, the best thing to do this safely is to focus on your body’s natural processes. For example drinking teas and eating foods that help your liver to detoxify your blood, and performing skin care detoxification regimens that help the skin to breath and release toxins. You might now always see or feel a difference from the detox but often times the results yield clearer skin, more energy and better digestion for examples.
TWE: My favorite slim down trick is to practice intermittent fasting 1-2 times per week and to spend my mornings massively hydrating with herbal teas, lemon water and Kombucha. This really works well especially when combined with the whole six week slim down program.
Thanks so much to Nicole and The Wellness Experience for sharing her expertise with us! Love these ideas! For more information, check out The Wellness Experience for help meeting your wedding weight loss goals.
