Top 10 Tips to Losing Weight for Your Honeymoon

Now that the wedding’s over, you’re ready to get away from it all and spend a few weeks on a tropical island with your spouse. Looking in the mirror at yourself, you remember how you overate at the wedding and notice some areas that could use a little tightening up. Follow the following 10 tips for successful honeymoon weight loss:

1. Hit the gym. Try working out for an hour each day before your honeymoon. A nice 1,000 calorie work out will do you great. If you don’t know how to correctly work out, be sure to hire a fitness assistant.

2. Keep a food log. By analyzing this log every once in a while, you may begin to see a pattern of certain foods that are preventing you from losing weight. Once you see that, eliminate these products from your diet.

3. Keep your mind centered on becoming healthy, not just losing weight. This will get you on a permanent plan to a better lifestyle and will help you in the long run.

4. Become excited about your honeymoon! This will give you more motivation and will make you want to look your absolute best when you’re walking down the beach with your husband/wife.

5. Eat smaller portions and eat them slower. Not only is it not polite to eat large quantities of food quickly, it’s also not good for your health. Enjoy the food you’re eating and take it slow. If you can’t finish what you started, no biggie, leave it for the next meal.

6. Stray far from crash diets. Diet pills should be used to help you lose weight. You’re primary objective is to become healthier for life, not just to shed a few pounds.

7. Don’t just take all of your favorite, unhealthy foods out of your diet. Try incorporating a healthy mix. Instead of having a take-out pizza, try making your own from fresh ingredients. It’s not hard and you’ll feel much accomplishment while eating the food you just made.

8. You must delete soda from your diet. There is not one good quality about it. Sure, it may taste good, but so do fruit drinks that carry many of the vitamins and minerals you may need to lose weight.

9. Google “online fitness program” and see if you can find one with a plan you’d like to be a part of. Many of these programs are inexpensive and are totally worth it for your health.

10. Make weight loss fun! You don’t need to constantly be lifting weights or eating bland foods all the time. Try socializing with friends while you run on the treadmill or throwing a party and making a nice fruit salad for you and every one of your guests to enjoy!
