My wedding diet

About six months out from our wedding I started to think more carefully about the incidental food I ate every day. Weight loss was not really my primary goal (I was 65kg), but I was hoping (with regular gentle exercise) to get a bit fitter and more toned for the big day.

By cutting out as much sugar as I could, I lost almost 10kg over the next six months. I was stunned, I didn’t know I had that much to lose.

It just goes to show, even when you eat healthy main meals, those comfort foods you eat in between make one hell of a difference.

I am used to coffee without sugar now, and sugar-free chewing gum helps with the occasional sugar pang.
