Remy and Emily are back with a new episode of Diet Starts Tomorrow — and they’re diving into the whole “shedding for the wedding” thing. Or is it “shredding”? In any event, they sat down with Amanda Pargament (@healthbyamandarobyn), a recently-married certified integrative nutrition health coach, and Sharron Paul (@sharronicanyc), a hilarious comedian and wedding officiant who just got hitched herself. They talk about the pressure brides face in terms of body image, weight loss, and even family dynamics—I mean, why did so many moms “weigh 100 pounds on their wedding day” after all? Of course, they have a lot to say about finding a dress you feel comfortable in no matter what, and why ultimately, fad diets just aren’t on the guest list.Check out our latest promo codes here: https://betches.com/promos Learn more about your ad choices.
