How to Start Eating Healthy: Marrying a Diet Before Saying “I Do”

How long do we date before jumping into a long-term relationship? Is it always love at first sight?

And if we’re considering marriage, that’s a life-changing decision that demands careful thought and consideration.

Choosing a lifetime of eating habits deserves the same care in planning because it’s much more than a short-lived, soon-to-be-done-with diet.

Learning how to start eating healthy certainly includes issues such as weight loss and weight maintenance, but it’s more than that.

It's a long-term commitment to a better lifestyle that will help you look and feel your very best – now and for all the years ahead.

Just as brides and grooms naturally want to look their best for the wedding day, so you’ll want to do your best to plan ahead if you’re looking for weight loss and wanting to avoid starvation diets that can give you that haggard appearance that even make-up can’t hide.

But, if done right, now can be the ideal time to begin a future that is healthfully ever after.

How to Start Healthy Eating

Couples have been known to lose weight before the ceremony, only to gain most of it back while feasting through their honeymoon.

What you really want is to want the right foods that permanently support your ideal weight. The good news is the more healthful food choices you bring into your everyday diet, the more you come to like and prefer them.

Keep in mind a clear idea of precisely what healthy eating is. Then begin to upgrade your food choices to match.

And you can become a healthy eater by merely proceeding down the “better diet aisle” just a few no-pressure steps at a time.

Healthy Eating Tips

The beginning of a beautiful relationship!

1. Fall in love with whole foods. Your healthy food list:

A variety of vegetables from all the subgroups – dark green, red and orange, legumes (beans and peas), starchy, and other.
Whole fruits (rather than fruit juices)
Whole grains
Low-fat dairy – milk, yogurt, cheese, and fortified soy milk
A variety of protein foods – seafood, lean meats, poultry, eggs, legumes, nuts, seeds, and soy.
Healthy oils – such as olive oil, flaxseed oil, and walnut oil

A healthy eating pattern limits added sugars, saturated fats, trans fats, and deep-fried, refined or processed foods — which tend to combine them all.

2. Say no to all sugary beverages.

Not all sugar is bad for you, but, if you say no to one child-sized soda a day, you’ll cut out 34,675 calories in a year without eating one bite less.

That adds up (or down) to 10 whole pounds less!

3. Don’t boggle your mind with numbers.

Counting calories puts the focus on what you can’t eat and becomes an ongoing negotiation. Trading off calories from a candy bar in place of a nourishing snack isn't the best use of math. (Unless it’s an Almased Butterfinger!)

4. Allow for indulgences.

Holidays, birthdays, so many special occasions in life, and now you’ll have anniversaries to celebrate, too!

You want to indulge, and you know you will. But use a strategy that allows you to live lighter with an occasional feast. The people at Almased know just how to do it. Please read on.

Healthy Eating Plan

Almased is the low-glycemic high-protein (LGHP) meal replacement and food supplement. It optimizes the metabolism and helps the body burn fat (not muscle) for effective weight management.

Almased is made from non-GMO soy, yogurt and enzyme-rich, raw honey via a unique fermentation process that releases bioactive peptides. This results in a full 27 grams of protein per serving, all packed with amino acids and vital nutrients.

This may be why Almased also helps improve overall health and well-being and provides plenty of energy for every day!

Developed in Germany to combat metabolic and weight issues, Almased is now a nutritional weight loss supplement. Still a family-owned business, the Almased Weight Loss Phenomenon™ has become a household name as it continues to expand worldwide.

The Almased Figure Plan, is a healthy eating plan divided into four simple phases, which not only help you lose weight but also help you make healthier food choices.

The basics are sweet and simple. Drink a single nutritional Almased shake in place of a meal. You can replace one, two, or all three daily meals with your favorite shake recipe. It all hinges on your desired results.

Almased is also your best strategy against weight re-gain. When you reach your ideal weight, continue to enjoy Almased as a daily snack. This way you can keep your dream weight going long after the honeymoon.

When eating sumptuously on special occasions, compensate by using Almased as a single meal replacement for a day or two.

Janine M. is one remarkable bride. She promised herself that her groom would continue to see the woman he met on their wedding day.

“In a heartbeat, I lost 18 pounds by adding Almased to my daily eating plan. What a great way to lose weight! Without Almased, I would never have zipped into my dress!” - Janine M.

Bride-to-be Lisa K. is another inspiring Almased Success Story. When her high-intensity interval training hadn’t given her the desired results in time for the wedding, she turned to Almased and immediately found success. Lisa wrote,

“Thanks to Almased and a boosted metabolism, I feel amazing in my wedding dress.”

Many diets may help you lose weight, but the Almased method is so much easier as it reduces cravings and hunger pangs by adjusting the appetite. This is also why Almased makes it easier to transition into the long term.

In addition to improved metabolism, many satisfied Almased customers notice other benefits such as stronger-looking nails, healthier-looking hair, and better-looking skin tone. You could be one of them!
