Starting a Low Carb Bride Diet (or Bridesmaid Diet)

November 24, 2014

Weddings are one of the happiest days of a bride’s life, and with such an important event comes incredibly high expectations. Brides want everything to be perfect on the big day and often times, they rely on their bridesmaids to make sure this happens. While the best laid can plans often go awry, there is one thing brides and bridesmaids can work on together: looking and feeling their best on the big day.

There are plenty of diets that claim to be ideal for those brides and bridesmaids counting down the days until they’ll be walking down the aisle in front of family and friends; however, only one allows you to burn fat while sustaining muscle all while eating foods that will keep you satisfied: the Atkins diet.

To feel amazing and confident when the big day arrives, there is no need for you to starve yourself. Using the Atkins diet, brides and bridesmaids can make lifestyle changes that will not only help them look their best on this special occasion, but will also lead to healthier lifetime habits.

Check out these tips to see how Atkins can be the perfect bride diet for you:

Be Prepared

Make sure you know what you can and cannot eat during each phase of the diet so you aren’t second guessing yourself or having to double check what is allowed. If you have a lot of weight to lose, beginning the Atkins diet in Phase 1 is the best option. If you have less than 40 pounds to lose, then Phase 2 is a good place to start.

Set Realistic Goals

Goal setting plays an important role in the success of any diet. If your goal is unattainable to begin with, your diet will be setup for failure from the beginning. Set a goal for yourself that you know you can reach, and make sure it will leave you looking healthy, not simply skinny.

Track Your Meals

This can be especially helpful when you are first starting your diet. It may take you a little time to remember what is low-carb and what isn’t, so tracking your meals can help you make sure you are only eating the things you want to eat on your diet, and can help you keep track of your weight loss.

Exercise

Dietary changes are key to losing weight, but they aren’t the sole answer. Diet paired with exercise 3-4 times per week is the best way to make sure you look your best on your wedding day. Try out a few different workouts to find out which is your favorite. Regardless of which workout regimen you choose to pursue, make sure to get into a routine that fits into your schedule and works for your individual endurance level. Changing your lifestyle too drastically or working out too hard from the onset can have detrimental effects and make it harder to stick to a routine in the long haul. One way to make sure you stick to your regimen and to make exercising more enjoyable is to turn it into a bonding activity with your bridesmaids.

Take charge of something you can control and make sure you and your bridesmaids feel confident on your big day. Use the Atkins diet as your bride and bridesmaid diet to not only look great, but to also feel great!
