By Ricardo d Argence

With so many pressures to fit into the perfect wedding dress, many women find themselves wanting to rush a diet and exercise routine. While there is nothing wrong with wanting to look your best, it is important that the method used is healthy in order to achieve the desired results.

It seems like everyone attending a wedding wants to lose weight before the big event. It seems that the bride is always the one who stresses the most about how she looks on the big day, others will be eager to dress up as well, however it is the brides special day.

Perhaps it's because all eyes are going to be on her, or perhaps due to the pressures from society to be thin and to wear the tightest-fitting wedding dress. Keep in mind your goal is to lose weight in a healthy and safe manner, stay away from the pitfalls that so many brides fall into, like going to extremes.

Starvation is one thing that many brides will put themselves through. While the goal is to drop some weight, many women could actually land themselves in the hospital due to organ failure or dehydration.

Many brides try gym overtraining and starvation to lose the extra pounds. A person has to make sure that it is done within moderation, even if working out is a great thing to do. The key is to remember that you need to do everything exercise and diet included, in moderation.

These methods, over training and starvation, will appear as though they are working at first but will ultimately fail. Once the bride to be finally eats a regular meal she will most likely put on several pounds. This is because the body decides to hold on to any nutrients it can possibly get when the person finally eats.

Before the big day the bride could very well find herself in the hospital, if she decides to never eat that full meal. Whether it be for a short time or a long time, it will certainly dampen the whole program.

Adhering to a healthy diet and regular exercise regimen is a proven way to shed any extra weight. The brides should consult with a personal trainer or a dietician those of who feel as though they cannot go about that alone.

By cutting out the extra sugars and starches you could already find yourself losing a few pounds. Adding more water into your daily diet along with strong and steady exercise is what will give you excellent results in the end.
