If possible, aim to have atleast 5 glasses of lukewarm water with lemon along with 5-6 glasses of normal water throughout the day.

Doing exercise daily will get you motivated and can be a good wedding stress reliever. Also, do gentle yoga stretching to release tension and meditate for 10 minutes while doing slow and deep breathing.

• Breakfast – Start the day with a good breakfast as it will jump-start your metabolism and reduce mid-morning cravings. Recent research indicates that rather than eating 3 large meals daily, our metabolism is better served by regular and small meals. Have 5-6 small meals per day with one meal every 3-4 hours. Also, always have a light and an early dinner (before 7:30 pm).

• Choose healthy foods –  Foods that are comparatively less refined and less processed like brown rice and whole wheat flour without removing the bran (choker). Avoid white flour (maida) and white rice.

• Eat a variety of foods from all the food groups. Your body needs a wide range of vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, amino acids and other nutrients in order to function efficiently. By eating a range of food types, you can be sure that you are getting your daily-required amounts of these important nutrients.

• Eat high-fibre foods- Include fruits, vegetables, beans and grains. High fibre foods help you lose weight because they are not only nutritious but also very filling. Also, high fibre foods help slow the absorption of carbohydrates so that blood sugar levels are more consistent. Stable blood sugar helps limit food cravings.

• Choose roasted, grilled or steamed preparations over deeply fried preparations. Also, avoid consuming too much of processed, baked or fried foods as they are difficult to digest.

• Decrease tea/coffee intake  to not more than 2 cups/day and totally avoid diet soft drinks. Include green tea 3-4 times a day.

• Include one serving of papaya and pomegranate (anar) daily for that perfect, glowing skin

• Consume soaked almonds (badam) 4-5 pieces  daily in the morning.

• Sound sleep for at least 7-8 hrs is essential for that perfect skin.

• Avoid high glycemic index (GI) foods such as white bread, cornflakes, baked potatoes, watermelon, etc. Eating low GI foods means you avoid spikes and dramatic falls in blood sugar so you get a much steadier stream of energy.
