Wedding Weight Loss Tips | Sugars in Our Diet


You are a bride-to-be, and you have just committed yourself to losing some weight for your wedding day. Most brides-to-be are fully motivated to lose weight (more than any others) because they want to look great on their wedding day. Well, who wouldn't? A wedding day is supposed to happen only once in your life! And you will be Queen (all-eyes-on-you) for the day. So it will be worth your while to work hard at achieving your ideal weight by your wedding date.

Here is are some tips that will get you started on the path to being a buff bride-to-be!

Today's article focuses on sugars in our diet. The hidden sugars in the food we eat can actually contribute to fat gain. Excess sugars causes us to gain excess calories that eventually gets converted to stored fat.

Where does Sugar in our Diet Come From?

Sugar provides "empty calories" (calories with no nutritional value). One teaspoon of sugar contains 20 calories and not much else.

Consuming too many beverages and food high in added sugar can lead to:

* Excess calorie intake: It also spoils your appetite for nutrotious food.

* Tooth decay: especially if oral hygiene is neglected.

We get our sugar from two main sources: 1) what is found naturally in food such as milk, fruit and some vegetables 2) what is added to food during processing or preparation.

There are different forms of sugar and no one form is healthier than the other. Always read food labels to detect the added sugar. If you see any of the ingredients listed below as the first few ingredients, the food has high added sugar content.

Names for added sugars that appear on food labels

Brown Sugar
Cane Sugar
Corn Sweetener
Corn Syrup
Dextrose
Fructose
Glucose
High-Fructose Corn Syrup
Honey
Icing Sugar
Invert Sugar
Lactose
Malt Syrup
Maltodextrin
Maltose
Molasses
Raw Sugar
Starch Hydrolysates
Sucrose
Syrup
Table Sugar
White Sugar

I know I have said somewhere on my blog that fat people bother me because the extra weight they carry, to me, signifies a lack of control over their lives. But contrary to what some people imagine, I am not at all against or discriminatory against fat people. In fact, a really good friend of mine from my schooling days has been obese all her life. But that has not stopped me from being a good friend to her! Even if I wished she was thinner (ie visibly more in charge of her life), it is the person she is inside that matters more to me.

Still, it was a wonderful day indeed when she called me and told me about this online program, Fat Loss 4 Idiots, which she has been on. She has been on a secret mission to lose all that extra weight and she was actually making it happen this time. The reason why she did not tell me about her plans was that she has tried multiple online programs such as Weight Watchers and Jenny Craig, and she had failed. Not this time. And the proof was in the photos she sent me - she looked so much slimmer. She told me that she has lost 30 pounds in 30 days!

Amazing! I don't usually buy into all of these weight loss gimmicks - I believe in hard work and proper diet. But then again, I have been trying to lose my extra 5 pounds for ages by pounding away at the gym for 1 hour, three times a week, and not seeing any real difference. So my friend's recent photos of her slimmer self was the motivating factor.

I got myself into the program - and I recommend it! The site itself is cool - attractive colourful cartoons, and it explains things in an easy to understand manner reminiscent of the XX for Dummies book series. But there is nothing idiotic about the subject matter.

Actually, this program may be more beneficial to those of us trying to lose some weight rather than for the grossly overweight - the program targets 9 pounds in 11 days, and focuses on the food we eat rather than exercise. Those who have to lose a lot of weight should incorporate exercise routines as well, but that is not the focus here. Nevertheless, it does contain valuable information on food intake, which the grossly overweight could use. For the rest of us, sometimes it is changing what we eat rather than those extra hours at the gym that will help us lose that tough bit of extra pounds we need to.

Excerpt of the type of information proposed in the program:

"You are overweight for the most simple of reasons -- because you're eating the wrong foods, the wrong types of calories per meal, and you're also eating meals in the wrong patterns each day. Think closely about what we're about to tell you, since it's going to change the way you think about dieting. FOOD is more powerful than any prescription weight loss pills, because the FOOD that you eat can either make you THIN or FAT. You don't get fat because of a lack of exercising, that's a myth. You get fat because you don't eat the right foods at the right intervals each day. Also, the pattern that you choose to eat your meals each day is more powerful than any prescription weight loss pills. This is true because your body is like an "engine" and it only needs certain foods at certain intervals each day, and if you don't eat the right foods at the right times then it won't burn those calories -- and you'll wind up storing those calories as fat tissue. (Hint: You need to eat more than 3 times per day to lose weight, but we'll show you the details later).You have gotten overweight by eating the wrong foods, that much is a fact. And guess what? You can get SLIM by eating the RIGHT FOODS at the RIGHT INTERVALS each day. It's not really any more complicated than that, and the way to start losing weight has nothing to do with starving yourself or jogging ".

Here is are some tips that will get you started on the path to being a buff bride-to-be!





Six Zingy Tips to Reduce Your Sugar Intake

Like salt, sugar is an acquired taste. Recondition your taste buds to accept food that is less sweet with these tips.

1) Choose plain water, milk and fruit juices over sweetened drinks.

2) Taste beverages first. Add a little sugar or syrup only if necessary.

3) When eating out, ask for less sugar and syrup in your beverages and desserts.

4) Read food labels to compare the amount of sugar in packaged food.

5) Choose food labeled

* no added sugar or unsweetened
* less or reduced sugar
* low in sugar
* sugar free

6) Use spreads like jam and marmalade sparingly.
