Compiling the second issue of Blush has made
for a spectacular summer. We have been able
to take this magazine to a new level in so many
ways. This issue features the Tang triplets,
the Edmonton based models made headlines
the day they were born on Christmas Day in
1990. The Blush team was thrilled to work with
the stunning triplets and have them grace our
cover and fashion spread this issue. With the
help of the web we were able to take reader
feedback on wedding day blunders;
page 12
features professional wedding advice from
event planner Jolyn Saramaga with Nuance
Occasions. Blush continues to focus on healthy
relationships, California based psychotherapist
Dr. Barton Goldsmith has joined us again on
page 16
with “The Lessons of Real Love”.
Everyone knows too well how important it is to
feel and look great; no one explains nutrition
and itness better than Dr. John Berardi
and Ryan Andrews featured on
page 6
with
“Getting Fit for Your Wedding Day”. Don’t
forget to lip to
page 18
and read the wedding
story of a stunning couple we happened to
ind through local photographers Rob and
Lauren. Wholehearted appreciation goes out to
the many local talents who helped bring new
fashion, beauty, and wedding ideas to life. With
the next issue fast approaching we will be sure
to bring you plenty of ideas for 2010 weddings.

Let’s face it. Your wedding day is big. You want to feel good, be healthy, and look radiant.
What we eat is who we are, so like it or not, food plays a big role in the wedding ceremony.
We’ve developed 7 strategies to help you get it before it’s time to walk down the aisle. You
can thank us by mailing any duplicate wedding gifts to our home oice. We prefer kitchen
appliances.
whole grains and nuts/seeds. If you eat foods that have been shipped to your grocery store from a
food science lab, all bets are of. Including our wager that you’ll be it at your wedding. When you
eat enough nutritious food, it will help to keep you from craving, and overeating lousy food. How
about beverages? Focus on drinking plenty of refreshing water and tea.

Strategy #5 No need to be perfect
How much efort did you put into setting up a caterer, invitations, and dress shopping? If it was
90%, you’ll be ine. If it was less than that, you might be in for a rotten wedding. Same goes for
nutrition. If you’re dialed in 90% of the time, you’ll be it.
Strategy #1 Dumb It Down
You don’t need to know how electricity works to lip the switch. Same goes for nutrition. It’s
about putting simple principles into action each day. Future brides will get stressed about
the glycemic load of produce and the antioxidant score of mangosteen vs.acai. Don’t waste
your time. Focus on eating nutritious foods at the right times in the right amounts. If you’ve
landed a husband, we’re conident you’ll have enough basic food knowledge. If
your instinct tells you to select broccoli over Pop-Tarts at the grocery store,
you’re on the right track.
Strategy #6 Have food ready
The hardest part about eating well is making sure you have nutritious foods ready to eat when
you get hungry. You might know what to eat, but if isn’t available, you’ll blow it when it’s time for a
meal. Food shop efectively, order efectively at restaurants, and bring foods with you for the times
you’re not by a fridge. A day packed with dress shopping and DJ interviewing can mess up eating
routines. When life gets chaotic, that’s when we go to what’s convenient.
Strategy #2 No dieting
A diet might help you drop a few pounds for the wedding, but it won’t
necessarily get you healthier. Moreover, brides to be that become
preoccupied with dieting might become out of touch with their body.
Anything that doesn’t work into their “pre-wedding spreadsheet” is of
limits and the deprivation mindset takes over, this means cravings and
overeating. Translation: you’ll eat more wedding cake than all of your
guests combined. Plus, why get in shape for the ceremony if you re-
bound and reverse the eforts by anniversary numero uno. So, instead
of dieting, focus on habits like eating just short of fullness and meals
every 2-4 hours. If you focus on how you feel as the goal, rather than on fat
loss, you’ll ind, ironically, that you can’t help but get into better shape.
Strategy #7 Five hours of sweat
Physically challenge your body and break a sweat for at least 5 hours each week. Do whatever you
enjoy and will stick with. Just do it consistently and intensely. 5 hours of exercise each week will
help you sleep better, manage stress (you can thank us when the alarm goes of on wedding day),
and regulate appetite.
There you have it; seven basic tips for being healthy and it for your wedding. And there’s more
where that came from. Come take our free 5-day nutrition course for women at www.precision-
nutrition.com. We promise you’ll learn everything you need to know to get into the best shape of
your life for the big day.
Strategy #3 Nutrition triage
Are you familiar with the term “triage?” It’s typically used in emer-
gency room settings. Triage is dealing with the most signiicant
issue irst. If two people come in the emergency room, one has
a splinter in their inger and the other just sawed of their
leg, what is the most signiicant issue? Sawed of leg. It’s
time for nutrition triage, bride to be. What is your big-
gest nutrition issue? Don’t spend hours searching for a
lower “net carb” English muin if your lunch each day is
chased with a quart of juice. The net carb English muf-
in is the splinter in the inger. The stein of juice is the
sawed of leg.
