To get into shape Garner stuck to a 1,400 calorie-a-day protein diet that helped achieve a long lean look.  Garner who follows a similar diet all year long except for cheating with an occasional glass of wine or a bit of dessert didn't cheat for the entire 2 weeks.

 

Garner's trainer for Elecktra was Valerie Waters who has been her trainer for several years.
