Look Better in the Buff -- in 14 Days!

The Day Before

Carbo-Load This old runner's trick works. You'll want lots of energy for your big night out, so have yourself a nice pasta dinner the day before. Avoid the garlic and instead have your favorite vegetables and skip the dessert! You can indulge in some sweets with your sweetie on the big date.

Sweet Dreams Get a good night's sleep. This is the best thing you can do for your body and your state of mind. If you have trouble getting to sleep, avoid drinking any caffeine after noon. Start your bedtime regimen early. Put on a pot of decaf tea, like chamomile, and relax in your jammies with some light reading material and soothing music.
