Adrienne Bailon has been looking better than ever these days; there's no question about it.

Her goal was to get back to a weight that worked with her height.
“A lot of people don’t know this, but she’s very tiny, she’s 4’9,” Arias exclusively told E! News. “She’s always had her goal weight in mind, so she wanted to get back to a weight that she was comfortable with prior to gaining a few pounds.”
She had an intense fitness schedule.
“She works out with me three to four times a week, then she does homework that I give her at home–so five days a week total,” Arias said. “90 minutes total per day. 30 minutes of cardio on her own in the morning and then one hour with me. That hour was maximized because our training would be divided into circuits and there was no resting time or breaks in between.”
She switched up her diet.
Arias revealed that Bailon also switched up a lot of eating habits, and focused mainly on healthy foods. She would have two-plant based protein drinks a day. Her breakfast consisted mainly of eggs and avocado toast. Lunch was normally a Poke salad and she’d have yogurt and cashews as a pre-workout snack. She was also drinking a lot of Lyfe Tea.
She cut some things out.
“No alcohol and no diary allowed,” Arias said. “They lost by eating the right food, eating the right amount of food, and just making sure we were hitting out goals every time.” She saved the pizza until the day of the actual wedding. Good for her!
It didn’t take long.
“It was a two-month process,” Arias revealed. “Adrienne lost 22lbs., and Israel–who was doing it with her–lost 25 lbs.” Look how amazing she looked in that gown!
She was really committed.
“I made sure she stayed hydrated, and the fact that they removed lactose and alcohol was one of the best things they did,” Arias said. “Honestly, I’m really proud of them because they set that goal and they did it. They were really committed. No shortcuts, no trends or waist trainers. Nothing crazy. It was done with good exercise and good eating and just taking away things that contributed to them gaining a certain amount of weight. We all go through ups and downs at some point.”
