Days prior to a photo shoot, the Puerto Rican actress doesn't eat salted food because "it swells you" and then you drink too much water. She also takes supplements to speed up her metabolism or a diuretic two days before, all supervised by a trainer or a doctor. Sánchez says this is also a way to cleanse her body.

Three days before attending an event, the Primer impacto (Univisión) anchor stays away from carbs and highly salted food to keep her body from retaining fluids. Also, two days before and on the same day of the event she works out double the usual time with her personal trainer, focusing on the body areas that would be most visible with the dress she will be wearing. "For instance, for the recent Premio Lo Nuestro event we worked hard to tone my shoulders and arms because they were the most visible with the design I wore," she says.
