Getting married? Here's a sample weight loss diet plan for brides-to-be

by Neha Chandna

Your wedding is one of the most special days of your life and you certainly want to look your best which needs timely preparation. Nutritionist Neha Chandna shares a sample meal plan to help you shed a few kilos in a healthy way. Instead of crash dieting and starving yourself, lose weight in a healthy way to avoid fainting and other health problems after the D-Day is over. 

An early start is always better as you will need to put in less effort and will have more time to reach your desired goal. Here is a meal plan you can start following six months before your wedding date. Remember, though diet is 70% responsible for a healthy weight loss, you also need some sort of physical activity every day to stay fit and burn calories.

Early morning: green tea + 1 fruit
Breakfast: 1 bowl of oats porridge/ poha/ upma/ idli
Mid morning: 1 fruit + 4 almonds/ walnuts
Lunch: salad + 2 rotis/ 1 cup brown rice + veggies + dal + curds
Evening: whole wheat bread sandwich/ bhel(no sev)/ sprouts
Dinner: soup + salad+ veggies/ chicken/ fish + 1 roti
Bedtime: 1 cup skim milk
If you haven't had the chance to focus on yourself with all the shopping and wedding arrangements, there is still time to tone-up your figure and look your best. You can follow this meal plan three months prior to the D-Day and drop a dress size.

Early morning: green tea + 2 dates
Breakfast: oats upma/ oats dosa
Mid morning: 1 fruit + 4 almonds/ walnuts
Lunch: salad + 1 rotis/ 1 cup brown rice + veggies + dal + curd
Evening: 1 fruit
Dinner: soup + salad+ veggies/ chicken/ fish
Bedtime: 1 cup skim milk
It's just 30 days to the wedding, fret not! You can still lose weight. This is a meal plan when only it's only 1 month to the wedding. In addition to this, get some exercise and don't stress – with the right outfit, you will look perfect.

Early morning: green tea + 2 dates
Breakfast: fruits + nuts
Mid morning: 1 bowl sprouts/ salad of pulses
Lunch: salad + veggies + dal + curd
Evening: soup
Dinner: salad/ stir fry+ veggies/ chicken/ fish
Bedtime: 1 cup skim milk
Even if you start with the 6-month meal plan, you can move to the 3- and 1-month plans as you inch closer to the wedding day. Be happy and you are sure to glow and look wonderful on your special day. (Read: Get fit with simple home workouts)
