The Ultimate Guide to Feeling Fit Before the Bachelorette Party

When it comes to shaping up quickly and safely, eating fresh whole foods just makes sense. It supplies your body with optimal nutrition and naturally cuts out all the garbage that makes your blood sugar spike or packs on the pounds. Meet the clean-eating rules we swear by that will change your life. After two weeks living by these, you'll learn a lot about how much the food you eat affects how you feel.

One recipe to try during your two-week countdown is this bloat-fighting rainbow quinoa salad. It offers 13 grams of protein to fuel your workouts, seven grams of fiber to keep your digestion on track, and tons of colorful produce packed with phytonutrients.

Overeating healthy foods is one of the common culprits behind weight-loss struggles. Keep your portion controls in check with our handy chart, pack up leftovers as soon as you make your plate, or when all else fails, cut down recipes, so you cook a single serving. This way the temptation of overeating is totally removed.

Dietary changes are necessary to see big results in a short period of time, and putting in time at the gym is also important. There's no reason to go crazy and find yourself left with an injury once the party rolls around, but adding extra workouts to your schedule will only help you reach your goals.

Try a new cardio class with friends after work instead of hitting up your regular happy-hour spot, or be brave and go solo to a studio you've always wanted to experience. You may find a new favorite workout in the process of shaping up for the party.

Here's the truth: your body's composition will not change overnight. However, targeting specific muscle groups and making a commitment to your physical fitness in the weeks leading up to the party will without a doubt help you become stronger and more confident in your clothes.
