Over five million women in the UK lose weight before they say 'I do' yet 57% of women undo all their hard work by gaining weight on their honeymoon and beyond. In fact over a quarter put at least half a stone back on after they walk down the aisle.
Dr Matt Capehorn, Clinical Director at the National Obesity Forum, told the Daily Mail: "Drastic and rapid weight loss for a particular event or occasion, such as a wedding, is not advisable for a number of reasons.
"You should be aiming for steady weight loss, as a result of sensible dietary and lifestyle change, that promotes sustainable weight loss and health benefits. Any variation from this should only be on the advice of a clinician.
"Rapid weight loss, especially if done without support, is likely to result in weight regain. Undertaking a healthy eating and exercise plan with a realistic goal in mind will ensure dieters are not only looking good but feeling great for their wedding day and beyond."
UK dietitian Helen Bond said: "It’s not surprising that for many brides to be, losing weight will be an important part of their wedding day preparation.
"However, achieving and maintaining a healthy weight should be considered a lifelong challenge rather than a short-term fix.
"You don't need to make big changes, just a few small steps can make a real difference, such as meal planning, ensuring you’re hydrated and removing temptation — out of sight really can be out of mind."
