This bride diet I created for Vasi, who needed to lose 40 pounds for 3 months, because she wanted to look gorgeous in her wedding dress.
These are 13 pounds per month which are more than the recommended 8 pounds per month, but often we do much more unhealthy things
.
Vasi has a clear aim – to look dazzling in her weeding dress – a strong motivation that will help Vasi to lose 40 pounds for 3 months.
The bride diet is a drastic diet, because to lose so many pounds you will meet lots of wants but the wedding dress worth privation!
This bridal diet is for women who like to eat following: meat, fish, milk, yogurt, salads, oatmeal, nuts, cheese and eggs,
Usually Vasi has no breakfast, eats 2 times per day – lunch and dinner. In the morning Vasi drinks only coffee. During the day she drinks lots of water, which is good because she will throw away the toxins quickly.

What is included in the bride diet?
This is a diet combined with exercises and the goal is to speed up the metabolism, because the bride needs to lose 13 pounds per month, which can’t be achieved with a diet or exercises alone.
The bride diet contains 3 meals per day, because future brides have to prepare the wedding and don’t have time to cook and care for a diet
.
The breakfast is always coffee (or tea) and until lunch time only water is added. This repetitive information will not appear in the diet below. For women who like to have breakfast a fruits is allowed after the coffee (or after the tea). A fruit can be – an apple, banana, grapefruit or orange.
This bridal diet is effective if you drink nothing than coffee, tea or water. It is not allowed alcohol, fruit juices or sodas – forget about them!
Monday
Lunch – 12 am
Baked (BBQ) chicken breasts (no limitation in the quantity) with a tomato salad.
After lunch – 4 pm
2 cups of milk, no sugar, just plain milk.
Dinner – 8 pm
Lettuce salad with a canned tuna in brine. The tuna must be fillet not chunks, because fillet tuna has bigger nutritional value. Other important thing is that tuna is in brine, not in oil or other sauce. Mix lettuce, tuna, 2 spoons of extra virgin olive oil, salt and vinegar. You can have as much as you want lettuce and tuna. Just measure olive oil – only 2 spoons.
Exercises
45 minutes walking/jogging with a TV show, movie, soup opera or what you like. If you have treadmill, walk 45 minutes. No treadmill, no problem. Step left-right 45 minutes. First 5 minutes are a little but strange, but after you concentrated on the TV and get used to the steps you will feel good. After the 10th minute you have to start sweating which is a good sign you lose weight. If you don’t sweat than increase the tempo. After the 20th minute you should start to feel very good and you start to like the exercise.
First couple of days step left-right for 20 minutes, next days do it for 45 minutes.
Tuesday
Lunch – 12 am
Baked (BBQ) fish (mackerel, trout, salmon) with cabbage and carrots salad. Sauce is not allowed. Add only 2 spoons of olive oil, salt and vinegar.
After lunch – 4 pm
2 boiled eggs with salt
Dinner – 8 pm
Veal soup: cook chunks of veal in the pressure cooker, when they are well cooked, add seasonings, one potato, one carrot, parsley, celery. This soup is very good because eaten warm it stuffs your tummy and your hunger disappears.
Exercises
Go to a fitness club and do 1 exercise for every main (big) muscle in the body. Ask a trainer to show you how to do exercises if you a beginner. In case you can’t go to the fitness club than do 2 of my exercise videos. Or you can climb stairs for 10 minutes and than 35 minutes step left-right. If you decide to go with climbing stairs, than note that first time 7-8 floors are enough. Gradually increase the amount of stairs until you reach 10 minutes. Tips on climbing stairs: Climb stairs until you get tired than go down and this is your rest. Than again climb … and so on. For people who have no many floors, than just go up and down stairs. Just don’t allow the obstacles to stand in your way to weight loss. Everybody can find a way to exercise even without equipment, stair or fitness club. One more tip: search for TV channels that have home workouts, you just need to follow them and you will have good workout.
Wednesday
Lunch – 12 am
Mix a cup of milk, 2 spoons of plain oatmeal (no additive, just plain brand) and 2 spoons of raisins. Leave it for 10-30 minutes and than eat.
After lunch – 4 pm
Tomato and cheese salad, cheese is no more than 100 grams.
Dinner – 8 pm
Grilled chicken breasts, 5 olives and as much as you can eat fresh salad (lettuce or tomatoes, or cucumbers or cabbage).
Exercises45 minutes – treadmill or step left-right or dance.
Thursday
Lunch – 12 am
6 egg whites, 100 grams feta cheese and tomatoes. Cut the whites, smash the feta cheese and cut the tomatoes. Mix everything. You can prepare this in advance and bring it to the office (if you have day job) in a plastic box.
After lunch – 4 pm
Yoghurt, fat no more than 3%.
Dinner – 8 pm
Hake (or other white fish fillet) soup. The following ingredients are for 1 person, multiply if you cook for more people. 200 gram hake, 1 egg, 5 spoons of yoghurt, 2 carrots, head of onion. Stew for a while (10-15 minutes) the hake, carrots and onion. Add some salt and black pepper.
Stir the eggs with the yoghurt and carefully add this mix to the hot soup while stir the soup. Sometimes egg and yoghurt mixture can’t be well mixed in the soup and the look is a little bit strange, but this doesn’t affect the taste and the nutritional value.
Exercises
Like in Tuesday.
Friday
Lunch – 12 am
Grilled trout with a big cucumber or lettuce salad.
After lunch – 4 pm
50 grams raw walnuts.
Dinner – 8 pm
3 baked eggs. Bake them without fat in a non stick dish. Scrape some cheese over the baked eggs. You can have a slice of whole grain bread with the eggs.
Exercises
45 minutes of cardio – step left-right, or treadmill, or jogging, or climb stairs.
Saturday
Lunch – 12 am
Broccoli soup for 2 people: Boil 2 pounds (a kilo) broccoli for 10 minutes, than strain them, add a cup of milk stirred with 2 eggs, while continuously stirring.
You can replace this soup with a grilled fish or meat with a salad.
After lunch – 4 pm
A slice of whole grain bread with a big piece of meat (your favorite one – pork, veal, chicken ..)
Dinner – 8 pm
Grilled meat fillet with a salad.
Exercises
Minimum an hour walk – in the park, garden or even window shopping. The more you walk, the better.
Sunday
Lunch – 12 am
Grilled chicken fillet with a big salad on your choice (no sauce).
After lunch – 4 pm
50 grams of raw walnuts.
Dinner – 8 pm
Chicken soup with green vegetables: zucchini, spinach, broccoli, dock, parsley or celery. Choose only one of these vegetables. Ingredients: 200 grams of chicken breasts per person, the quantity of vegetables is on your choice. Boiled the chicken and when ready add the vegetable. Add salt and seasonings.
Exercises
Long walk. Games – badminton, bicycling, tennis, basketball or any game that involves action.
The bride diet is effective only combined with exercises (could be any kind of games, moving or workout).
Following only a bridal diet without exercise is not very effective.
Only doing exercises is not much effective too.
It is important to combine the bride diet with exercises – this is the only way to look gorgeous in your wedding dress.

I’m 170cm tall and currently weigh about 71kg. I want to. Drop weight for my wedding. What’s a safe weight I should aim for or you think I can lose? Is trying to get to 65 kg too much?
Thanks you
Em, 3-4 kg per month is ok, you can go even to 60 kg but for 3 months. 5kg for 1,5 months.
Thanks for your reply, so you mean I could aim for 60kg? I have time on my side which helps! If I follow the above diet along with exercise how long do you think it would take to get to 60kg?

Hi Rumi, just found your site and love it… Thank you for your time and effort to put all this info for our benefit.. I want to do this diet and, as you say, work out as well. I usually have for breakfast protein shakes- sometimes I have another one for lunch or dinner. Love them.. could I substitute chicken or tuna for one of my shakes?
Thank you again…
Lucero, you can substitute meat/fish with protein shake, but chose brand that don’t have carbohydrates, sometimes protein shakes have a lot carbs. Up to 10 gr. of carbs is ok but more is not.
