Newlyweds:5 things not to fatten

The role of newlyweds can bring stress, but it should not bring extra pounds. Here are some simple tips to avoid the dreaded love handles.


1. No scheme before marriage

Yes, it is normal to want to look her best on her wedding day, but if you change your diet significantly to get there, it will move back to haunt you after the honeymoon. "Many brides are undertaking a major diet. When they return to their regular diet, good habits fly. "Says Bree Burnett, certified holistic nutritionist in Nutritional Balance. Instead of fixing the wedding day as the end date of your diet, make these new eating habits one of the changes in your lifestyle.


2. Practice your portion control

Eat the same portions that her husband is one of the reasons why brides are gaining weight, according to Sarah Maughan, certified holistic nutritionist at Totum Life Science. It's normal to want the same portion as her husband, but in reality, your calorie needs are very different. "If a woman with a man 1.58 m 1.83 m comparing the difference can vary from 500 to 800 calories per day, depending on the level of activity," she says. Learn how to assess your own needs and do not be embarrassed to tell your husband that you do not have the same needs as him.


3. Say "no"

It is possible that your husband enjoys snacks that you prefer to see in your home, such as chips, crackers or other products of the same family, and you know that hiding is not a viable solution. "Learn to make different choices, suggests Jill Wood, holistic nutritionist certified Nutritional Balance, which recommends that when a fruit tastes sweet or baked chips rather than oil. Explain to your husband that you are aiming to eat healthy and make compromise on the amount of junk food that will come home. "


4. Try the buffet

A good way to adapt a meal without preparing two completely different menus is to separate the proteins, carbohydrates and vegetables for everyone to compose his portion in the proportions that suit them. "With a casserole, it is more difficult to eliminate a food that we do not want." Says Sarah Maughan. In this way, there will be no problem if your husband needs more carbohydrates because it causes a lot and you do not want.


5. Beware of snacks while watching TV

"Newlyweds often spend more time watching television than gym. Attend the couch and exercise less contributes to weight gain because you reduce your energy consumption while giving your body the energy is not needed. "Says Sarah Maughan. When you snack in front of the TV, you use a bowl or dish and do not take a second portion. "When you eat out of the bag, you can not stop you," says Sarah Maughan. Suggest to your husband to take the same habits not expose you to the temptation to dip into his bag of chips.
