Planning your big day and in need of a body confidence boost? LighterLife Fast is here to help!

Wedding planning should be an exciting time, and with everything else that needs sorting (venue, guest list, cake, catering…) the last thing you want is to be preoccupied with worrying about fitting into your wedding dress! The good news is that with LighterLife Fast, it’s more convenient than ever to lose a little bit of weight, or maintain your current weight ahead of the big day so you can spend less time fretting about your weight, and more time on the important things in life. To give you a nudge in the right direction, LighterLife Fast has created five simple steps to getting your dream bridal body, and it’s easier than you’d think!

1. The 5:2 way of life - LighterLife Fast is the 5:2 diet with a range of tasty meals, shakes, bars, pots and soups which provide you with 100% of your recommended daily vitamins and minerals up to 800 calories. You can enjoy any four LighterLife Fast products on your two fast days, which can be any non-consecutive days of the week depending on what suits you. On non-fast days keep your weight in check with healthy balanced meals. The 5:2 is a great way to help get your ideal body in time for your wedding, but you can also try applying it to other areas of your life, like your beauty and fitness regime to make sure you’re balancing everything!
2. Stay hydrated - Make sure you drink plenty of water, little and often throughout the day. This is vital for helping your body function properly – not to mention keeping your skin clear and glowing (which is what every bride wants on the big day!). Try carrying a water bottle around with you to help it become more of a habit. You can change things up a bit by trying calorie free water flavourings, like Refreshing Pink Grapefruit from LighterLife Fast. The LighterLife Fast 5:2 diet means you can also enjoy tea and coffee, either black or with a splash of milk on a fast day so you don’t have to go without your daily dose of caffeine.
3. Forty winks - Make sure you get plenty of sleep. If you’re having difficulty sleeping, try avoiding computer or phone screens before bed, having a hot bath to relax or reading a book. Not only could it help with losing weight, but you’ll also feel more refreshed during the day, leaving you with bags of energy to focus on the important things – like wedding planning!
4. Snack smart - If you’re finding it difficult to resist the temptation of junk food during the day, try switching out the biscuits and crisps for healthier alternatives. The Light Bites range of delicious snacks are full of fibre and are all under 100 calories! If you have a sweet tooth, try out the superfood seed bars which are packed full of nuts and goji berries, or the chocolate cookie caramel bar. The range also includes tasty freeze dried fruit and yogurt chips, as well as gluten free popped chips to satisfy your craving for crunch. You can also enjoy up to two Light Bites on a fast day in addition to the four fast products, so no need to worry about it affecting your 5:2 diet.
5. Move it! - You don’t need a gym membership to get active, but fitting in those mini workouts when you can will help boost your metabolism, burn calories, improve your health and help tone up. Why not try walking around the block on your lunch break, or going for a jog at the weekend? Small changes like opting for the stairs rather than the lift, or parking a little further from work will certainly make a difference. Taking those first little steps to fitness might seem daunting at first, but once you feel those endorphins kick in you’ll be hooked!

It’s important for you to feel like the most confident version of yourself on the best day of your life – and when you feel good on the inside, it shows on the outside!

All it takes is five simple steps to get you back on track and brimming with confidence ahead of the big day, so you can wear your wedding dress and feel like the most beautiful version of yourself.

So go on…give it a go and see how good you feel!
