You need to eat smaller portions of a variety of natural, low calories, low fat, low sugar, low sodium foods. Load up on fruits, veggies, legumes and whole grain breads, cereals, rice and pastas. Bake or broil your lean cuts of skinless chicken, turkey breast, fish and loin type meats. Use canola or olive oils, spreads instead of butter or margarines. Drink lots of water instead of presweetened drinks, or sodas. Cut out fast foods, fatty foods, fried foods. Learn how to read nutritional labels and stick to the one portion sizes, one serving of meat is 2-3 oz, a serving of milk is one cup, of cheese is 1 1/2 oz. And you need to exercise 3-4 times a week, at least 30 minutes, aerobics, walking, jogging, weight or resistance training, biking or swimming. It takes a lot of work and patience but you can do it. And you'll be a beautiful bride, trust me
