Introduction

A friend of mine wanted to know why I was writing this book, on how to lose weight effectively before a wedding, because she knows that being a naturopath, I do not advocate any sort of starvation or a diet regimen, which makes you nutrient deprived.

Nevertheless, I had to explain to her that a large number of my friends out there, who now had their kids getting ready for marriage were getting a bit too hassled, because the children had gone on crash diets. Thanks to the whole world's obsession with weight, especially before a special occasion like a wedding, you may have noticed that the bride, her friends and even her mother have gone on drastic weight loss diets, so that when the guests appear, they do not think that these important people look like bloated hippopotamuses. This is the psychological, emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual weight being placed upon you, from the day you got engaged, and until your wedding day you are going to be moving around with this albatross around your neck. You need to lose weight. You need to lose weight fast. You need to look as anorexic and skeletal as Victoria Beckham. What are people going to say?

Is your self worth really dependent upon what the scale says?

Remember my friend, this book is for you, if you are really obsessed with losing weight. I say no, but you insist that you need to get rid of all that extra avoirdupois. And that is why, this book is going to tell you all about the easiest way in which you can have the most wonderful and memorable day, without torturing yourself beforehand. You will have lost weight, and it will have been done permanently. You are not going to starve yourself.

You are not going to be so weak, that you cannot dance the first wedding dance with your brand new husband on the dance floor, during the post-wedding party. And best of all, you are never going to prevent yourself from not enjoying all those delicious food items on the table, just because they are so full of calories, they will increase your poundage and such other futile and torturous reasons.

The first thing that you are going to do is throw away all your books, telling you to go on a diet. Throw away your measuring tape, which keeps hanging there behind your bathroom door. Throw away the scale, which has terrorized you for so long.

But, you wail, how on earth are you going to know whether you have lost weight, if you do not have these visible measures to show a positive result, after all your efforts?
