To lose weight, you absolutely must eat fewer calories than you burn. There’s no getting around that. Dieters have known this fact for years. 

Yet, by the time you reach 50, you may still be looking for a better way to lose weight. Why?

  • Perhaps you’ve counted calories before and lost the weight, only to have it bounce right back. So yes, it worked, and no, it didn't. 
  • The calorie-counting diet often ends up focusing on what we can’t have. By default, we concentrate on limiting food selection by being obsessed with calories, and it gets complicated.
  • It’s not always easy fussing around with equipment like food scales, calculator apps, meal planners and choosing our food by points.

Some of us can connect the dots between our unhealthy eating patterns and mood swings. Nutritional imbalances and fluctuations of blood sugar are often the culprits. 

These diet shortfalls may be caused by eating too many processed or refined carbs, skipping meals, or cutting out entire food groups from your diet.

Such habits can cause blood sugars to swing up and down, leading to low energy levels, tiredness, and feelings of irritability. 

The link between nutrition and mental health is complicated, and there is still much left to learn. But research is mounting up and does show how food can affect mental health conditions, including depression and anxiety disorders.

This is THE biggest day of your life. So many things can go wrong, so you can't just "not worry about it." What if it rains? Will the mascara smear if I cry? Or worse - what if the dress doesn’t fit?

Of all essential bridal diet tips, first, determine when to start a diet in time for the wedding. Define your ideal weight and figure how much you want to lose. If you’re looking to cut 5 to 10 pounds, allow about 5-10 weeks ahead of time. If you'd like to shed more, start even earlier.
