Bursting with information, inspiration, and advice, The Wedding Dress Diet is the next must-have for every bride's trousseau. An upcoming wedding is the ultimate weight-loss motivator. But many brides-to-be resort to fad diets and end up disappointed with the results--either they don't lose the weight, or their health and energy are lost along with it. Finally, in The Wedding Dress Diet, Robyn Flipse and Jacqueline Shannon describe a sensible weight-loss plan that readers with one year, six months, or three months to go before the big day can follow, so they can look good and feel terrific when they say "I do." Combining good nutrition, exercise, and stress-reduction techniques, the book helps frantic fiancées cope with the frenzy of fittings, showers, and shopping dates. Not only does it outline an effective eating and exercise program geared to the date of the ceremony; it also provides everything from bridal registry ideas for outfitting a slim kitchen to tips on choosing the most flattering dress, no matter your weight. Diet books come and go, but The Wedding Dress Diet is the one that every bride--and many bridesmaids and mothers-of-the-bride, too--will want to own.
