what to eat the week of the wedding?

i've been told to eat foods low in sodium and low in carbs the week of the wedding....ie:no chinese, no italian, etc...

what are some good foods to eat this week that wont be high in sodium, what about for the night before the wedding, any suggestions?

Nice grilled proteins, be careful of marinades - salads, veggies

Try to go for perpared foods vs fast food or eating out.

Don't worry about it because you probably won't eat anything. I dropped like 6 lbs easy the week of my wedding. You just don't eat. Not consciously of course. But it's like, your mind is racing 24/7 that even if you're normally always hungry (I am) before you know it's like 2 pm and you realize you haven't even eaten yet that day and you're not even hungry. So don't worry about what to eat specifically, just make sure that you eat...anything. You're not going to gain weight that week for sure.

funny you mention this alissa because my friend said the same thing she said the weight just starting coming off not that she was looking to loose anything but she looked great!

Dont take any chances on 'oh i wonder what that tastes like' Go for things yiou are familiar with, and if ur having trouble, ask that 1/2 the portion be brought to you...

drink water with PLENTY of lemon in it - it helps digestion and breakdown ONLY WATER!!!

Always eat a HIGH protein breakfast - so hunger is controlled the rest of the day - I like english muffin pb and bananas or cheerios and bananas

It was nuts.....the bad thing for me was that I had already had my last fitting about 10 days before the wedding. I swear to god it fit then, it was almost a little too tight......day of-loose, way loose. You can see it in my pics. It upsets me slightly cause it could have looked so much better, but I couldn't control it.....i just wasnt' hungry, but wasnt' even thinking about the fact that I wasn't eating...there was just way too much stuff running through my brain to focus on food and I apparently didn't need it so it wasnt' until the day of and the dress went on that I was like, Holy Shiit!!.

i know you said no carbs but my stomach was a mess so all i ate was bagels, toast, pastina with butter

all i drank was water with airborne or a little lemon

thanks! i actually just had a high protein breakfast...i had honey mustard tuna salad and a low carb yogurt...so random, but i didnt want eggs, and cereal is out for me this week until i get in that d*mn dress on Sat!

i would just avoid sodium and drink lots of water....when it gets closer to the wedding i really have to start drinking more water - i dont know how i survive - if i drink a glass of water before dinner thats ALOT - i usually dont drink anything not even with lunch - i hate drinking because then i have pee even more than usual and i already pee so much....its so bad for me, i dont know how i dont get sick from dehydration - i guess my body is used to this because ive been like this as long as i can remember....i know its bad for me but its so hard - before i got invisalign i started drinking crystal light - but now i cant drink anything colored with my braces and i hate plain water

good idea about the airborne! i have a bunch in the house i just keep forgetting i have it....FH's mpm is sick and she lives downstairs from us....i am SO paranoid b/c i just got over being sick! lol....i refuse to go down there, and if i do i carry antibacterial hand gel!

I was told to make sure and at least eat yougurt the day before the wedding... i dunno why, but that is what i was told....

that was going to be my next question actually... i didn't notice that in the pics but I am sure you noticed especially the way the dress fit.. you looked amazing.. i guess it's better to have it a little loose than being too tight

OMG let me tell you it is the best creation! Bagel Boss sells it (there are Bagel Bosses all over i think most of them have it)....i would have never tried it normally but i worked there back in college for a little while and their salads are SO good!! it's lowfat too....seriously go and try it
