Wedding season is full of rich meals, late nights and sweets, and it arrives just when you want to look your best.
A simple strategy lets you enjoy it and stay on track.
- Eat protein before you go.
- Plate: salad first, then your favourites.
- Drink water between drinks.
- Next day: back to normal meals.
Before the Event
Do not arrive starving.
- Eat a protein-rich snack an hour before
- Drink a glass of water
- Decide your top two or three dishes in advance
At the Buffet
Use a simple method.
- Start with salad and grilled items
- Take one small portion of your favourite dishes
- Wait ten minutes before a second plate
- Choose one dessert and enjoy it
Drinks and Late Nights
Alternate alcohol or sweet drinks with water, and protect sleep when you can. Poor sleep makes the next day’s choices harder.
The Day After
Do not punish yourself. Return to normal meals, drink water, take a walk and skip the guilt.
Keep it simple, do it together and adjust for each person. If either of you has a health condition, speak to your doctor first.
