diet

For the brides-to-be out there desperate to drop a dress size or two before wedding season, it's worth knowing the impact yo-yo dieting can have on your health in both the short and long-term. Nutritional Therapist Natalie Lamb from Lepicol Lighter’s gives us the dangers of crash dieting you need to be aware of:

Loss of Muscle Mass

Crash dieting encourages the body to hold onto stored fat as it believes it is being starved and will need all the resources it has in order to survive. Although, those who do crash diet may notice weight loss very quickly, this weight loss is usually due to the loss of fluids and lean muscle mass.

Sluggish Digestion

Simple steps to help you prepare for a healthy wedding day

While it’s important not to fluctuate too much in the run up to your wedding (or at least not past the final dress fitting!), keeping your heart healthy by working out and eating well is a fantastic way to tone up, improve health and produce those much-needed endorphins.

To boost your body confidence well in advance of your big day, why not try changing up a few of your routines so that when it comes to picking the perfect dress, or just feeling confident walking down the aisle, you’ll be feeling and looking fantastic!
