To Eat or not to Eat

What are weddings coming to? It seems it has come to the point of using feeding tubes. Yes, I said feeding tubes. Is it really that bad or important to focus on how you look on your wedding day? I am not stating or demeaning a person’s wedding day. I just do not see having a feeding tube to make sure I lose weight to fit my clothes nor my girlfriend for that matter. If you are getting sized that early it seems common sense would say do not like a pig. Maintain a health meal routine and steady exercise to help maintain the size you need to fit your wedding wardrobe. The name of this feeding tube diet is called K-E diet.

This K-E diet  consist of having a feeding tube pushed through your nose down into your stomach like some people have from medical issues. A person on this diet takes in 800 calories per day. Kids eat more calories in a day! This diet brings a cost of about $1,500 for 10 days. The tube provides a mixture of protein and fat, but no carbohydrates. They say this puts the body into a state of ketosis, which can cause the body to lose weight quickly.  This is because the body starts burning fat instead of carbohydrates for energy. This diet offers you to lose 20 pounds in two weeks. Is it me that this sounds a little dangerous? Twenty pounds in two weeks sounds like a lot of weight. The body has to be starving so as soon as you come off this diet your body will crave any and everything and almost immediately start to gain weight from eating regular food. I would think from participating on this diet it could only be a quick fix which would seem very unhealthy. There are many diets out there which could provide similar results in a much healthier way.

How about a good old fashioned soup diet to lose weight? You can eat fruit with this diet. Keep it simple and cheap. You already are spending a lot of money on your wedding depending on the size and type of wedding.  I just cannot see myself or my girlfriend doing this just for a wedding. This K-E diet was created in Italy. That is all I would need to here if it was me. It is expensive as well. “This is all you need to do in order to see the dramatic results in 10 days and for only $149.90 per day, all inclusive!” My point is I think I would definitely look to enjoy life and focus on my wedding to ensure we have a day full of joyful memories. So, to you ladies out there you are beautiful and do not put extra stress on yourself because of weight. I know it may be hard for some, think about your finances on this, whether you can afford it or not. This is diet money that can go towards a nice honeymoon vacation or household item. Think about and hopefully we spend or money wisely based on this economy!
