Worry not, we have celebrity nutritionist Anjali Mukerjee give you tips on your bridal diet as well what to eat 1-day prior to your wedding day!
BRIDAL DIET TIPS:
- Eat smaller meals, more frequently, as this is very effective for weight loss.
- Include plenty (At least 5-8 servings) of fruits and vegetables in your diet
- Drink at least 2 glasses of vegetable juice made from vegetables like tomatoes, spinach, dudhi, mint, coriander etc. These help to detoxify your body and also eliminate body odour.
- Avoid foods like garlic, onions, methi as they have certain aromatic substances that affect the odour of our armpits, breath, urine and stools.
- Include at least 40-45gms of protein in your diet such as fish, egg white and dairy products.
- Ensure that your bridal diet plan provides you with sufficient calcium. So eat tofu, curd and paneer to up your calcium intake. This will help you stay calm.
- Avoid refined foods made from maida like roomali roti, naan, noodles etc. as they make the body retain water, thus making you feel bloated.
- Increase your water intake to at least 3 litres a day.
- If you have acne, follow a low-fat diet.
- Work out or exercise in some form.
- Get 8-hours sleep and practice deep breathing exercises.
- Drink coconut water as least twice a week as it is good for your skin, digestive system and also works wonders for your hair.
