There have been various fads involving Disney Princess diets over the years, so we at Disney Fanatic jumped in to investigate this trend.

It’s completely understandable to want to live more like a Disney Princess. If you lean into the magical aspects of their lives, they are often confident, capable women who find a happy ending—which often also involves finding love with a romantic partner (Cinderella [1950], Sleeping Beauty [1959], you name it), your sister (Frozen [2013]), or even with your community (Moana [2016]).

But over the years, some fans have taken that to a new level with the “Dieta princesas Disney” or the Disney Princesses diet, drawing inspiration from these Disney movies.

What is the Disney Princess diet or the dieta princesas Disney? 

Over the last few years, there have been many diets inspired by specific princesses—the Cinderella diet, the “eating like a Disney Princess” diet, the five-day Disney Princess diet, and there was even one specific result originally in Spanish called “Dieta princesas Disney” which is meant to last 15 days, with individuals purported to lose between 5-10 kilograms.

We will take you through each of these, one by one.

Dieta princesas Disney

Beginning with the dieta princeasas Disney, this diet has many similarities to the five-day Disney Princess diet, except it extends for fifteen days instead. The diet focuses on a different Disney princess each day with food inspired by that princess for that day.

For example, day one features Snow White (or 𝑩𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒔 in Spanish). The site explains any following this diet can eat only apples on this day—no matter red, green, or yellow, so long as they are not poisoned—and individuals should eat more than two, though less than eight. Day two is Ariel from The Little Mermaid (1989). Per the diet, this day will be a water fast.

The Cinderella Diet

As Women’s Health reported a few years ago, the Cinderella Diet originated in Japan, wherein it encouraged people to aim to become their “Cinderella” weight, which is reportedly calculated by measuring your height in meters, squaring it, and multiplying it by 18.

This is said to put an individual’s BMI at around 18, commonly considered to be underweight by most metrics.

Of course, many took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their bemusement with this calculation, and many understood this was a “super-bad idea.”

These fads and trends certainly make their way across the internet and pop culture but especially when it comes to nutrition and health, it’s essential to consult a proper professional before undertaking any kind of severe diet. While some of these diets (for example, the five-day “don’t eat a poisoned apple” one) appear to be humorous in nature, some fans might take them seriously.

It could result in disastrous consequences, including developing an eating disorder or further health issues later on in life. Please note that any such activity must be undertaken with proper observation and guidance.
