10 Foods To Avoid Before Wedding

The wedding season is back again. Before the marriage, both the bride and the groom prepare themselves to look the best on their big day. Going on a diet, hitting the gym and having lots of fluids is the basic to-do diet list of the brides and grooms to be. There are special diets that the couple can follow before their wedding.

However, very few follow a proper diet before their wedding. To lose weight, you do not need to go on a crash diet or become a gym freak.

For example, green vegetables, fresh fruits and nuts can help you lose weight, stay fit and also get glowing skin. But, there are a few foods that you should avoid before your wedding.
