Look Your Best on Your Wedding Day
(ARA) - When it comes to planning a wedding, there are a lot of things that can wait
until the last minute; but losing enough weight to comfortably fit into your dress or tux
is not one of them.
Tiffany Morrison, 30, of Dover, Ohio, learned that firsthand a
few years back. She was supposed to get married in May of 1997, but she and her fiancée
had to put the wedding off a year because their job situation changed. While she was waiting
for the big day to happen, Morrison put on 20 pounds. As a result, she no longer fit into
her dress. "When we were a couple of months out from our new wedding date, I decided I really
wanted to wear the dress I originally bought, but it had already been altered and my only
option was to lose the weight," she says.
The position Morrison found herself in is
one thousands of brides and grooms across the country face every year. Between the stress
and excitement of an upcoming wedding, it is not unusual to put on weight. Especially with
all the get-togethers and parties you're attending in the months before the big day.
So what's a couple to do? Pledge to combine a healthy diet with regular exercise and
implement the plan not weeks but months before the wedding.
As far as exercise goes, if you're not the type of person who likes going
to the gym, you can work it into your day by parking your car at the end of the parking
lot then taking a brisk walk into the office, taking the stairs instead of the elevator,
and going for a walk during a coffee break or lunch. When you get home, do housework
at a quicker pace and more often; for example, try vacuuming every day.
When it comes to diet, the National Academy of Sciences recommends healthy adults
consume between 1,600 and 2,800 calories per day.
In addition to watching
what she was eating and exercising regularly, Morrison's doctor recommended
she start taking the dietary supplement conjugated linoleic acid which is
sold under the brand name Clarinol CLA.
"The best solution for long-term weight management is enhancing a balanced
diet with products powered by Clarinol CLA," says Dr. Marianne O'Shea of Lipid Nutrition,
a division Loders Croklaan. "It helps reduce your body fat and increase lean muscle mass."
The results over 8 to 12 weeks are a slimmer, shaplier figure. So start getting ready for
your wedding today.
You can find bars, shakes and supplements fortified with Clarinol CLA at your
local Target, LifeTime Fitness Gym, Whole Foods Grocery store and your favorite health
food stores on and off line. Log on to www.clarinol.com for more information.
