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?

thanks! by the way, denise i tried on my dress last night and it fit! it JUST fit though, but there were no bulges or anything, lol, they even tought me how to sit down in it, so now i feel much better...thanks for your advice the other day, i am going to the derm in a few so hopefully that will work out as well

YAY so glad to hear, i am sure you looked amazing in it

ahhhh ive been searching LIW like crazy for that article but can't find it, i kept trying words that i knew were in it but no luck

what i do remember is the basic like drink 8 or more glasses of water the week of your wedding, stay away from alcohol before. Avoid salty food

The girls are right, lots of protein and lots of water. But if you feel hungry and are craving a bagel, go for it... you don't want tbe passing out on your day!

Stay away from salt and alcohol... a few days before my b-pics, the photographer called me and told me no salt and NO ALCOHOL the day before b/c it makes you bloated.

hth and you are going to look gorgeous regardless!!
