Book Description

January 4, 2000
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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Motivating, but nothing we didn't already know, May 9, 2000
This review is from: The Wedding Dress Diet (Paperback)
This book is motivating for any bride-to-be as it provides practical tips and realistic goals for weightloss. However, don't be fooled by the title...it does not provide an actual diet. Basically the book just inspires you to eat anything with moderation and to exercise. That is something experts have been recommending for decades. In essence, nothing new is established. You're better off buying a bride magazine.

5.0 out of 5 stars How to make yours a more-perfect union, February 24, 2000
By 
wayne carlson (San Diego, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Wedding Dress Diet (Paperback)
Authors Robyn Flipse and Jacqueline Shannon have written a book that's loaded with great information for brides-to-be and others interesting in shedding some pounds on a deadline in a sensible way. I bought "The Wedding Dress Diet" for a bride-to-be who wanted to lose "exctly 18 pounds to get down to my fighting weight of 112." She read the book, loved it, and reported yesterday she was right on schedule to attain her goal. Now, here's the surprise: before giving my friend her gift, I read it myself. I started flipping some pages in the bookstore to get a sampling, and soon got hooked. When I got home, I read the whole darn thing. It's brilliantly organized, very well written and liberally sprinkled with humor. The nutritional and exercise tips and the advice on reducing stress can be used by men as well as women -- whether or not they're headed for the altar. Here's a handful of rice tossed in the direction of Flipse and Shannon.
