Your plans are underway and your big day is fast approaching. If you're like most brides, looking and feeling your very best is essential to an unforgettable experience and bridal weight loss may be on the top of your mind.

If so, you're not alone. With more than 60% of the U.S. population listed as overweight, and more than one third of the population now labeled as clinically obese, chances are that you or someone you know is struggling with their weight.

Many things can contribute to weight gain including improper diet, lack of exercise, toxic exposure, and stress on the body. For example, did you know that the body will produce fat cells to wrap around toxins regardless of how few calories you consume? This is done as a defense mechanism to keep those toxins away from your vital organs, and to keep you staying healthy. "But", you say, "I don't eat paint or cleaners"! It's true that toxins come in all forms including household cleaning and repair products, but they also come from many of our food sources.

Artificial sweeteners, colors, and flavors were all born in a chemical lab and enter our bodies through the foods we ingest. Nitrates, hydrogenated oils, binders, thickening agents, preservatives, and basically any ingredient you can't pronounce, have also been manufactured and added to our foods.

The Food and Drug Administration tests these types of additives and if deemed safe, will allow them into our food sources. However, the FDA does not have the ability to test the quantity of consumption, the effect of multiple exposures, or the interaction between them. So, if you're like most people that consume a diet soda with a hamburger and side salad for lunch, then you have just ingested aspartame, additives, hormones, preservatives, insecticides, and pesticides. Not much fun - especially when bridal weight loss is the goal.

Now that you know where toxins come from and the fact that the body manufactures fat cells to protect itself, you must also be made aware that there is something you can do about it as well.

Nutritional cleansing is an ancient practice of detoxifying the body to bring balance and healing. As the body detoxifies, it opens the door for fat cells to be used as energy, allowing you to lose weight safely. When you lose weight safely, you are placing your body in a state of healing which reduces the chance for rebound or the return of unhealthy habits.

There are many ways you can detoxify in order to lose weight safely. The most effective method relies on replenishing the body and feeding the cells nourishment from vitamins, minerals, essential amino acids, and essential fatty acids. You will also need to drink 8 to 10 cups of water a day to help with the process. Most detoxification plans are 24 to 48 hours and include abstinence from traditional foods and supplementing with herbal teas and liquids that help to purify the liver and other vital organs.

If bridal weight loss is important to you, or just knowing how to lose weight safely, then take some time to learn more. Knowledge is key and when your goal is to have that unforgettable experience on your wedding day it's nice to know that there are safe, effective cleansing programs that will work.
