The biggest piece of advice we have for brides who want to slim down and bit and revv-up their health is to eat alkaline foods and alkaline-forming foods. This concept has to do with proper food combining and is critical for weight loss as well as averting a myriad of other unwanted ailments.
By eating to promote alkalinity you can help ward off the acidic food combinations that make you tired, give you indigestion and keep you from maintaining a healthy state. You will be bombarded with impromptu get-togethers, bridal parties, rehearsal dinner(s), and the increased potential to eat unhealthily due to the increased social situations and lack of time. Do not starve yourself; you need the energy. A better approach is to combine your foods differently to stay on the alkaline side. Being alkaline gives you energy, makes your skin look great and allows you to slim down naturally and immediately. See what other conditions eating alkaline helps with. I wrote a review of this system here.
If you just want to jump on the bandwagon and do the full court press toward losing weight before the wedding, this approach to eating is the easiest, most natural and inexpensive way to start. It’s called Great Taste, No Pain. I teach this system but you can easily and quickly read about it yourself. It addresses much more than losing weight although weight loss is the most visible notable benefit of this approach to eating. This is not a DIEt. It encourages you to eat in particular combinations to stay alkaline, enabling your body to shed those pounds. This approach also explains how dis-ease cannot exist in an alkaline environment and how this approach can help with other conditions like high cholesterol, blood pressure, diabetes, fertility, digestive disorders, skin disorders, thyroid, arthritis, asthma and more.
Kick off your wedding with a new slender and healthier you! This recommendation comes not only in preparation for your special day but for the ongoing health of you and your spouse.
Some specific vitamins that will help with stress?
- B Vitamins are associated with brains and beauty (hair, skin, nails). Supplement with a multi B to ward against the effects of stress, to think more clearly, and to keep your energy from depleting. Just a note: to indulge in taking supplements without eating in an alkaline fashion is a waste. When you introduce supplements into an acidic environment, the supplements cannot be absorbed properly and therefore are useless. Supplementing in an acidic environment is money down the drain and wellness that remains out of reach. Read about how to eat alkaline.
- Omega fish oils. A good source of essential oils to combat the potential for coming in contact with hydrogenated oils. Restaurants cook with, and processed foods are packed full of, bad oils. You need the good oils to maintain healthy skin and clear thinking. Did you know 90% of all weddings cakes have hydrogenated oils in them?
- I could go on an on about all the different supplements you can benefit from but you can peruse the rest of this website for those recommendations. All in all, the best approach is to just eat in an alkaline fashion so your body can utilize the healthy, unprocessed foods you eat.
Stay hydrated. If you are not a fan of guzzling water (and you shouldn’t anyway) the best way to intake water is gradually, multiple times throughout the day and at 6-8oz or less per each time.

REVIEW of the "Great Taste No Pain" approach...
**************************
Quick Description
**************************
With more than 1 out of 3 adults in the US (70 million) taking OTC or prescription pills for digestive disorders and the pain associated with them, as a nation, we have serious health problems. And we're spreading our problems around the world.
What most people are frustrated with is that even if they eat how most health professionals consider to be 'healthy', a large percentage of people STILL experience digestive problems. And so most people resort to drugs, surgery or eating bland foods. Or they just continue to suffer.
This simple eating system is designed to dramatically reduce the acid pH measure in a person's entire body -- not just in the stomach. It does so by increasing the ratio of alkaline forming foods eaten and by showing you how to combine foods in a way that radically decreases the amount of acid digestive juices in the stomach and small intestines required to break down foods -
which is the primary component of the science of food combining.
A basic knowledge of Junior High chemistry is all it takes to see the logic behind this science: Mixing foods that require alkaline digestive enzymes with foods that require acid digestive enzymes slows and can even stop the digestive process. It delays digestion by as much as 10 hours and more and that spells discomfort. This proper food combining approach alleviates this problem, speeding food through your body, allowing it to absorb nutrients from foods at a much higher level.
One of the short manuals,'Foods That Create Acid, Foods That Take It Away,' is a simple guide for your body to use a minimum of energy in the digestion process, which leaves more energy for healing and other daily functions your body carries out.
Sherry Brescia, like myself, was a former Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and Colitis sufferer. In fact, in 1991, she spent 7 days in the hospital with bacterial colitis, again, just like I did.
As a health insurance researcher and Chief Underwriter, she was able to research the benefits of an alkaline- balanced body and over the next 15 years perfected the system she now calls Great Taste No Pain.
She meshed a number of philosophies proven to help alkalize the body to create this simple system that anyone can follow regardless of where they are or what food choices they have available to them.
**************************
What I Like:
**************************
Taste: Unlike most restrictive diets, Great Taste No Pain cannot actually be called a diet, because it allows you to eat even great volumes of luscious, delicious food as long as you combine it according to a few simple guidelines. Perhaps the greatest news for people who love to eat is that the 176 page recipe book in the system is stuffed with breakfasts, lunches, dinners and snacks that are unbelievably tasty. No rabbit food. Gourmet all the way, yet the meals (if you like to cook) only take between 15 and 30 minutes of prep time. So you can throw away the belief that you can't eat healthy on a super-busy schedule.
Speed:You don't have to read 300+ pages before learning what to do. In the first guide, it provides a brief background on the science and then quickly moves onto the step-by-step 'how to.'
Simplicity: The second Guide there is a massive compilation of every kind of food that you could possibly put in your mouth, along with the corresponding foods that combine with it for easy comfortable digestion, and those foods that don't.
Eating Out: Traveling is the one thing that can ruin even the healthiest eaters, so, included is a 'Pocket Guide For Pain-Free Dining Out.' Use it until you understand and remember what combines with what so you can eat and
enjoy the rest of your day, pain-free.
Meat: While meat is not something people with digestive issues usually tolerate well on a daily basis (hence the daily pain), the problem isn't so much the meat as it is what you eat with the meat.
That is why each of the Guides in the system, including the recipe book, lists every possible food you can combine with meats without suffering. Also, broccoli, lettuce, cucumbers and other veggies that can create havoc suddenly will not.
Fruit: Ask anyone that suffers stomach problems about fruit and you'll hear horror stories. So sadly, the most perfect food on the planet is shunned by a huge part of our world's population. You will soon learn why fruit causes you trouble and how to easily change that. You CAN eat fruit again.
While each Guide in the system is detailed and complete, they are written in the clearest language possible so that any 11 year old could teach it (my daughter is)!
**************************
Crohn's, Gastritis, Colitis, IBS, Diverticulitis, Bloating, Constipation, Diarrhea:
**************************
There is no "cure" for most digestive problem, because the names doctors give to the ailments of the digestive tract are not diseases at all. They are maladies brought on by eating the wrong foods and by eating them in the wrong combinations.
For example, let's say you've got Diverticulitis or Crohn's. Great Taste No Pain can help you get rid of your symptoms very quickly.
But a year later, if you start eating like you used to, guess what? Yep, the symptoms will come back. You see, the principles that Great Taste No Pain is based on are sound. They work for everyone. But if you think that because you've been symptom-free for a long time, think again. Go against these principles of easy digestion, and the problem can come back with a vengeance. Remember, good health comes from living a healthy lifestyle, not a"do it once and you're fixed" approach.
**************************
Conclusion:
**************************
When I began following the system, I personally was amazed at the amount of energy I had, even late into the evening. I had no discomfort, no bloating, I didn't feel the need to eat again within an hour, no need for caffeine between meals and I lost weight without trying.
Professionally and personally, my strong recommendation is that for anyone who wants more energy, sounder and longer sleep, migraine headaches to stop almost immediately, pain from gastritis and acid reflux to stop almost instantly, and the pain of digestive problems to stop or be reduced dramatically, get over to:
Often it just takes one properly combined meal. After you have been following it for a week or more, feel free to let me know how you like it. I personally believe that anyone who adopts this simple, enjoyable food combining method will reap gigantic health benefits.
This information does not tout popping pills or enzymes, it just deals with plain and simple food combining. It has helped every single client who has come to me with digestive problems and I am recommending it because I use it myself, I was in the hospital years ago and went through the same hopeless scenario that Sherry's doctors painted for her. My father-in-law had Crohn's, my husband had colitis, my 11 year old had IBS, my other relatives and hundreds of past clients had a myriad of digestive disorders as well. This is the easiest, least expensive tool you can use for the rest of your life and it does not involve pills!
