- Not just a diet
- Options for quick diets before the wedding
- Mono-diet
- Protein diet
- Detox diet
The desire of every girl to look perfect on her own wedding day is quite natural. Only in pursuit of this ideal, some brides go beyond what is reasonable. For example, to lose weight and get a slim figure, exhausting diets are used, up to and including complete abstinence from food. Under no circumstances should you torture your body in this way; this is fraught with not just a painful appearance and poor health, but also serious health problems and even a threat to life.
Not just a diet
When setting yourself the task of losing weight, you should not focus only on prohibiting high-calorie foods
In order to make your figure slim and fit, you need an integrated approach, including:
- daily physical education, sports (jogging, gym, swimming in the pool);
- visiting a beauty salon;
- special massage for problem areas;
- bathing procedures, swimming in thermal springs;
- drinking enough liquid;
- inclusion of fat-burning foods in the diet (ginger, grapefruit, pineapple, garlic and other vegetables, fruits, herbs).
Options for quick diets before the wedding
Even if, due to numerous pre-holiday hassles, you completely forgot that you also need to lose weight, don’t be upset. Express diets have been developed especially for special occasions, and any bride looking for an answer to the question of how to quickly lose weight for her wedding will find a suitable option for herself.
Proper weight loss should be gradual
Mono-diet
The essence of this diet is simple and lies in the name. "Mono" translates to "one". If you decide to lose weight before a friend’s wedding or are a bride yourself who dreams of losing a couple of extra pounds in a short time, choose a single product (maximum two components are allowed) for every day and eat only that.
The effect of this diet lies in the fact that the body, oversaturated with the same set of substances, ceases to properly assimilate monotonous food; more energy is spent on digesting the product than it is capable of providing.
This approach is unsafe for the body; you should turn to a mono-diet in really very important cases. In addition to impaired digestibility of food, there is another problem: the lack of many beneficial substances contained in various other ingredients. By abusing this method of losing weight, girls run the risk of becoming regular clients of an endocrinologist.
The most popular mono-diet options:
- Buckwheat, boiled in water (up to 700 grams) plus about half a liter of kefir;
- Half a liter of green tea and a kilogram of apples;
- Half a liter of green tea and low-fat cottage cheese (up to 600 grams);
- 3 green apples, a glass of freshly squeezed apple juice and 250 grams of rice, boiled in water.
In order not to cause serious harm to health, it is recommended to use a mono-diet for a maximum of three days. During this time it is quite possible to lose from 2 to 5 kg of weight
Protein diet
Again, from the name we can conclude that in this option you will have to “lean on” food rich in protein. First of all, these are eggs, chicken breast and low-fat cottage cheese. It is allowed to diversify the diet with a small amount of greens, steamed vegetables and fruits, and honey. But sugar and salt should be completely excluded during a protein diet.
To reduce the serious load on the liver and gastrointestinal tract, with this option for losing weight it is very important to consume large amounts of fluid. This could be water or herbal tea (especially those that promote weight loss).
Another important rule of the protein diet is that the daily intake should not exceed 1300 kcal, which should be divided into at least 6 meals. This type of weight loss allows you to get rid of excess weight up to 10 kg in just two weeks.
Protein food for the diet of the same name
Detox diet
This diet for brides before the wedding involves a complete abstinence from solid food. In this option, you can and should drink water, herbal infusions, fruit drinks, fermented milk drinks, and eat various soups.
The only liquid that is strictly prohibited is alcohol. You should not test your health by combining an express diet with alcohol abuse.
It is worth noting that the detox diet is not for the faint of heart or for overly busy girls. You will have to visit the water closet several times more often than usual. But the result is worth it: in a couple of weeks you can lose up to 15 kg.
In order not to become weak or even get sick on such a diet, drink smoothies: this is a real detox for the body, but! In addition to fruit, there should be spinach!
Diet menu
Several options for wedding techniques have been developed. The 1-day option is suitable for those who need to lose weight a little, so to speak: “unload the stomach a little before the event.”
You can prepare for a wedding a week in advance - there is a 7-day method for this. And for specific weight loss you need to follow a diet for a month.

Recommendations for losing weight brides
Whichever option you choose, you will find the following helpful tips useful:
- to compensate for the lack of vitamins and minerals in the body during a diet, be sure to purchase a complex of multivitamin preparations at the pharmacy;
- stop the diet immediately if you feel weak, dizzy, or have a decrease or increase in blood pressure;
- follow a diet regimen, the last meal should be no later than 3 hours before bedtime;
- if you have any disease, you should definitely discuss your diet with your doctor;
- express diets are completely unsuitable for pregnant brides;
And finally, one more extremely important rule: you need to complete any express diet smoothly. Otherwise, you will not only overload your body and get health problems, but you will also gain weight as quickly as you lost weight
Accordingly, you should not “sit” on buckwheat or apples until the wedding itself, so as not to tempt yourself at the festive banquet with an abundance of dishes.
Proper nutrition before the wedding
Before you start exhausting yourself with workouts or (which is very bad) going on a diet in the hope of losing weight quickly, we suggest you start with your diet. Pay attention to what you eat every day.
Preparing for a wedding is stressful, so dieting is very dangerous for the bride’s nervous system.
Start keeping a food diary to monitor what and when you eat.
It is necessary to limit the consumption of sugar, flour and fried foods. This will not only be good for your figure, but also for your skin.
Start eating little by little (about the size of your fist) and don’t try to completely give up your favorite foods.
