Get Wedding Ready With Diet Direct WonderSlim Meals

I started the New Year off by getting engaged! After sharing the great news about wedding planning with friends and family, I quickly realized I’d put on quite a few pounds over the holiday season. I have over a year before my wedding, but I wanted to get a head start! 

With all that being said, here are a few of the daily lifestyle choices that I have recently implemented to prepare for my big day!

A New Workout Regimen

Finding the perfect workout routine that worked for my schedule and body was a big hurdle. My workout plan included cardio on a reclining stationary bike and strength training focusing on my major muscle groups. 

Fitness trainers usually like people to aim for 12 reps per exercise–sometimes even 15 reps—but I found that ten reps per set (3 times) was the perfect amount personally. Note that you don’t have to go overboard with sets of each exercise.

During my good weeks, I hit the gym five times a week. On my bad weeks, it was more like only two or three days per week. 

Always remember, though, that stretching and rest days are essential! Both lower the risk of injury and aid in your overall muscle gain. Also, constantly check your heart rate when you hit the gym.

Drinking Enough Water For My Body

When it came to drinking enough water for my body, I had a rough time. I went through countless apps and reusable water bottles to help me keep up with what I needed.  

Generally, most health professionals recommend 11.5 cups of water daily for women and 15.5 cups of water a day for men. Mind you, that depends on several factors, such as:

• Where you reside 
• Your diet 
• The temperature
• Your activity level
• Your overall health 
• If you are pregnant or breastfeeding 

To find out how much water you should drink, take your weight and times it by ⅔. If you are active that day, take your answer and add 12 extra ounces of water per ½ hour. 

Eventually, I settled on a bright yellow intelligent water bottle called the CrazyCap. It didn’t remind me to drink, but it sanitized the water with UV rays and made it extra crisp and fresh! 

Replacing Meals with Diet Direct WonderSlim Products 

Many experts agree that losing weight is a numbers game. When trimming down, working out isn’t as important as what you eat daily. 

To chalk it up, losing weight is 70% of what you eat, and working only sits at 30%. In other words, you can bench press as much as you want, but with a bad diet, you won’t see the full body difference you are probably hoping for for your wedding day. 

Now, I like to believe that I eat fairly well. I love kale, chicken, salmon, broccoli–you name it–but I loved them so much that my portions were way too large nine times out of 10. 

When I mentioned my dilemma to one of my sisters, she swore by Diet Direct. I was hesitant. I am a huge advocate for living a healthy lifestyle over dieting. Before I completely gave up the idea, I decided to do a bit of research on the company. 

What I Found Out About Diet Direct WonderSlim 

Diet Direct takes a different approach to dieting and weight loss. Their philosophy is meal replacement. 

Instead of having high-calorie, huge portioned, and unhealthy meals, their portion-controlled meal replacements help you to lose excess weight. And the more meals you replace, the more weight you lose! 

The WonderSlim food was also packed with protein. This was great since I was also strength training 3-5 times a week! 

In case you did not know, protein can help build muscle, burn body fat, increase energy, and even alleviate cravings! 

I also loved that Diet Direct’s WonderSlim allowed me to eat more often. Their plan called for eating every 2-3 hours, which is meant to keep your metabolism running at its peak throughout the day. 

I was Sold. 

The more I learned about Diet Direct’s Wonderslim, the more interested I became. To get started, I decided to sign up for the four-week Premium Complete plan. 

With this plan, I would receive enough food for seven meals a day, and at $1.64 per meal, I was not upset! 

Once I selected the type of meal plan I wanted, I was taken to an easy-to-navigate page where I could select the meals, shakes, and desserts I wanted included. 

I was surprised to find out that I was able to choose! I was always under the impression that plans such as these just sent you what they sent everyone. No, if and’s or buts about it. 

But not Diet Direct. 

Being a huge fan of chocolate all my life, I was ecstatic that there were so many meal replacement options that included it! 

Was the Food Any Good? 

The honest answer is yes. The food was pretty good! Way better than the styrofoam that I expected! And leagues and bounds are better than what I probably would have made me if I am honest. 

The food was always quick and easy to make. I have yet to burn and ruin anything (yet)! 

The shakes were my favorite meal replacements. It almost felt like I was cheating on the diet because I was able to have multiple in a day. And they were delicious! 

Have you ever had a Five Guys milkshake? These shakes were right on par with those (minus the whipped cream, but I am lactose intolerant, so I shouldn’t have it anyway)! 

The cheddar crunchers and chicken noodle soup came in a close second and third place among my top favorites to eat! 

Any Weight Loss? 

As of right now, two weeks deep into my lifestyle changes, and I am happy to report that I have lost a few inches here and there. My weight is slowly but surely going down. 

Something that I did not realize going into living a bit healthier was that I felt a lot better on a day-to-day basis. I feel more rested when waking up in the morning. And more energetic throughout the day. On top of that, I don’t feel run down, bloated, or exhausted when I am finally getting ready to catch some Zzz’s. 

As the buttons on my favorite pairs of jeans come closer, I can live a bit more with my upper body while strength training and feeling confident-boosting. I walk with my head up high and shoulders back. 

I feel more in tune with my body today than I have since I was in high school, playing multiple sports! I’ve missed this feeling more than I have realized. 

Overall Rating of Diet Direct WonderSlim 

These products are different than what I remember diet plans offering in the early 2000s. The food is filling and delicious. I am eating more than ever but I am losing weight significantly faster than when I made my own meals. 

But it is not perfect. 

Having been overweight for roughly half of my life, I have had a few run-ins with my health. I’ve struggled with high blood pressure and problems in my joints from carrying too much weight. 

Heart attacks and diabetes both run in my family–on both sides. So there are a few things that I have to pay attention to when eating new and prepackaged foods. Such as how much sodium I am ingesting. 

Some of the meals are quite high in sodium. However, when choosing meals, there are a number of filters you can add when looking for the products that you would like to have shipped to you. 

However, the issue with this is that you cannot use the filter system when choosing the meals you want. So, I ended up having to have one page open with the low-sodium options while also having a second page open to actually choose the product and add it to my cart. 

This is a slight problem with their webpage setup, but it can easily be mended. Other than that, I have no real complaints. Some flavors of foods I enjoyed more than others, like the Chocolate Cream Shake, but they were all good.

 I did not regret choosing one thing over the other. Instead, I made a note about trying something new next time! 

Overall, I am impressed and a bit shocked that I enjoyed the meals as much as I have thus far! I am happy with the results and am already hopeful for the long term. can’t wait to show my wedding party (and fiance) my amazing results!
