If you’re interested in a diet plan to lose weight, you’ve come to the right blog. I focus on helping brides to be choose the right place for their calorie intake needs, so they can eat as much food as possible, be full & satisfied, and lose weight effortlessly.

My perspective with weight loss is to focus on meals high in protein, fat, and vegetables. I also focus on creating extremely simple meals, so that you can actually stick with the plans, and eat healthy foods when you’re busy. Seriously- these meals take 5-15 minutes, ordering out takes way longer than that, and is way more expensive!

Wedding Weight Loss Diet

The total calorie goal for this plan is 1400. Different calorie diets work for different women - so this may, or may not be the right calorie amount for you. Here’s how I recommend determining the calorie goal that’s right for your body:

Track what you’re eating without any restriction for 3-7 days. I like the LoseIt app
Take the average of those days to get your weight maintenance calories
Subtract 100-300 calories to get your new goal

I find this method works much better than online calorie calculators, which don’t take your metabolism into account.

GROCERIES FOR THE WEEK (5 DAYS)

3 bags lettuce - using arugula here, but use whatever variety you like!
10 sweet peppers
2 1/2 cup nuts - I’m using walnuts and pecans here - but use any nut you like! And, generally I think roasted, salted nuts are fine!
10 eggs
5 100-calorie amounts of chocolate
5 cups carrots, chopped
5 non-fat yogurts
10 string cheeses - my recent favorite is the fresh mozzarella string cheese from Trader Joe’s!
5oz prosciutto
2 cups shredded cheese - I’m using cheddar here, but use any kind you like!
5 salmon patties - I’m using pre-made frozen ones here, but feel free to make them yourself if you like!

Notes

SNACKS

Need more snacks? In general, I recommend for snacks:

Nuts or nut butters (in single-serving amounts): choose a variety of nuts to get all the benefits - no one nut is better than another.
Hard Boiled Eggs: Did you know hard boiled eggs last a whole week? Make a dozen on the weekend (only peel them when you're ready to eat them). Top them with Trader Joe's Everything But the Bagel seasoning or grated Parmesan cheese.
Single-serving Cheeses: I love string cheese and other single-serving cheeses like slices of cheese or round cheese in wax. So filling and tasty!
Jerky: Seriously one of my favorite filling snacks. So tasty and great protein.
Greek Yogurt or Skyr: These great single-serving options are full of high-quality protein, often probiotics, and are usually great sources of calcium.

SWITCHING OUT FOODS

I’ve tried to make this meal prep as EASY as possible - so every single day is the same. HOWEVER, if you’re anything like me, it’s quite boring to eat the same thing every day! Please feel free to switch out different protein sources, vegetables, and fats. Also, as with the rest this website, this information is general, not specific to you. You, personally, may need different amounts of calories, nutrients, etc.
