By NNT Featured Publications- May 13, 2011

He asked and you said “yes”! Your wedding is a long awaited dream come true, and there are many things you need to do to get ready. Finding the perfect place, the perfect flowers and of course the perfect dress. You need to look your best, and we all know how time flies when you´re having fun. While you´re preparing for your wedding, picking out your flowers, and figuring out exactly what you want to serve your guests you may be overlooking the most important part; you and your physique. Preparing for your weddingtakes an average of 6 months to a year to plan and during that time you may lose sight of how you look. Don´t regret not being in the best shape of your life for one of the greatest days in your life. Remember in 6 months to a year anything could happen including extra pounds around your waist, hips, and thighs and surely you don´t want to take your dress to the alterations specialist and have it “taken out”. This is your dream wedding, one the greatest days of your life.

Here are 5 ways to help you prepare for this special day:

• Exercise for weight lossis a very effective way to lose weight, tone your body and strengthen your muscles. It keeps your bones strong and even improves your skin. But, you need to burn about 7000 calories a week to lose 2 pounds. You would need to run 3 hours a day; you don´t have time for that, you´re planning a wedding. The best way to lose weight is decrease your calorie intake by about 800 to 1000 calories (depending on how much you eat) and exercise 30 minutes a day 3 times week. During exercise for weight loss you will lose weight, but you may still have some bulges that are bothersome.

• Laser Assisted Liposuction is an FDA approved minimally invasive fat removal procedure with hardly any downtime, people return to work and normal activity within a day or two. Of course there will be swelling after the procedure but usually the swelling subsides within 3 weeks time.

It works by inserting a very thin laser under the skin. The heat from the laser melts the fat which is then suctioned out by a very thin canula.

• Zeltiq™ fat removalis another new fat removal technique that freezes the fat cells and over 6 to 8 week time period you´ll see results. Zeltiq™ fat removal is non-invasive and can reduce fat 20 to 40%, but final results may vary, meaning it could be less than 20%. This technique is not permanent because the fat cells are not removed meaning that the fat can and will return to the area.

• Low Carbohydrate dieting is a very effective weight loss diet, but again with dieting you lose weight proportionally and sometimes even lose weight in areas where you want to keep the weight. The low carbohydrate diet isn´t hard to follow, just don´t eat carbohydrates. A down side to Low Carbohydrate diets is that they tend to leave people “scrawny” looking instead of toned and healthy.

• Calorie counting diets are effective just like any other diet. How many calories do you eat? How many do you burn? You need to decrease calorie intake and increase the amount of calories burned. Diet and exercise go hand in hand to create a firmer, healthier you.

With only 6 months to a year´s time to go before your special day you need to act now to look and feel the best you can. Call a physician in your area to schedule a consultation. Even If you´re not in the Denver, Colorado area there are many qualified physicians in your area that you can talk with regarding the above procedures. You can also visit physician´s websites to see before and after photos and get some general information about the procedure.
