Diet ideas for wedding?

I Dont Have Any Meal Tips Per say, For Me Personally I Count My Calories. I Eat Whatever I Want To As Long As It Is In My Calorie Budget-Have Lost 50lbs Since October.

I use MyFitnessPal to watch what I’m eating. I don’t restrict myself to a certain diet but moreso a lifestyle change. I can have my sweets here and there but not go overboard.


I think it’d be easier to stick to things that are not so fattening like cheese, milk, oil, etc. stick to stir fries, grilling, air fry, baked, with lean meats and lots of veggies. Chill out on the carbs but a little is ok lol.

View Quoted Comment Same!!! I eat whatever I want as long as I get enough nutrients and stay in a deficit.

Some ideas:
Stir fry dishesLean chilli
Jambalaya (rice on the side so I can see how much I consume)Grilled or pan seared chicken breast, fish, any other meatSoupsTaco salad Lean burgers or use salad as buns lolChicken or steak Lettuce wrapsSpaghetti squash noodles with spaghetti

I would find food you already love and try to figure out a healthier version of it

Steamed veggies with hummus. Brussel sprouts with balsamic, pickles

I cut out soda, coffee creamer and dessert. I basically only drank water! We just meal planned really well (we did that before/after but made even more of an effort the 6 months before our wedding). We made sure each recipe had fruits/veggies/grains and that we had 1-2 servings of fish per week. I'm not a fan of the whole chicken, steamed veggies, plain rice meals. I get bored of them and over it super quickly. So we just picked things that were healthier but still tasty.

I don't have any great recipes to share but I use pinterest for almost everything. I just hit a 70 day streak for counting calories and have lost 14 pounds so yay. I also love savory food and salty snacks and wanted to share my go-to which is skinnypop. I buy one of the big bags every time I go to Sam's Club because there's only 39 calories per cup.

What diet are you on? That will narrow down your choices. Pinterest is great for recipe ideas.

I'm really big into healthy replacements. So when I want pizza, I make pizza at home on a whole wheat pita with less cheese. When I want fries, I make them in the air fryer instead of actual french fries. Then I never feel like I can't have what I want, but I'm still making progress.

I just joined Weight Watchers and lost 7 pounds in a week & a half so far. I'm on the blue plan - my cousins each lost 40-50 pounds since February which made me want to give it a go. I'm trying to lose 20 pounds by my October wedding. Good luck with whatever you choose!

One of my favorite healthy eating recipes is super simple, I do ground chicken and mix in a low sodium taco seasoning packet. Ration them out into the servings, I usually get 3 servings out of 1 lb, and when you’re ready to eat top it with some cheese, guacamole, salsa (my grocery store makes a delicious and healthy pico de Gallo that I buy to mix in) and whatever other veggies you might like. I usually keep it simple. But it’s so delicious to me!

I’ve been doing keto.

Stir frys have been my jam and cauliflower and broccoli everything (rice, fritters etc.) To incorporate veggies on a daily basis with a protein. I started this week 4 times a week (veggie meals with a protein --- I guess low carb? If you think about it) and Friday-Sunday portion control and loads of water (lemon and mint goes a long way to add a nice freshness in there) this will definitely be something to maintain post wedding also. I'm pumped!


Hope this helped
