The internet is buzzing (NY Times April 13, 2012 “Bridal Hunger Games”, Today Show http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/3041426/ns/today-today_health/) about brides-to-be using a feeding tube and other crash diets to fit into smaller wedding dresses. These programs are essentially very low carbohydrate, “liquid Atkins” diets where most of the loss is water weight which comes back very quickly.

For a similar cost brides could participate in “Slim Bride,” a research proven medically supervised program using meal replacement shakes, soups, and bars combined with a professionally lead weight strategy group that teaches the skills to keep the weight off.

The “Slim Bride” program is also 800 calories per day, but is better balanced nutritionally so primarily fat is lost. The program has a proven safety record for over 20 years and translates smoothly to an ongoing food plan to keep the weight off. Brides can safely lose 10-50 pounds in 6-12 weeks depending on how long they stay on the meal replacement program.

The “Slim Bride” program is directed by Dr. Robert Kanter. Dr. Kanter is a board certified Endocrinologist and Weight Loss Specialist with over 20 years experience in medically supervised weight management.
