The Brazilian Bikini Body Program: 30 Days to a Sexier Body and Mind

One thing you can take for granted: read the book and you will learn many great tricks and tips on how to stay healthier and in shape. Will they work? Well, that's on you, but for sure you will enjoy reading it! It is a well written, well researched book and if anything else, fun to read.

I bought this book like many others because I was desperate to get in shape for the summer. I think that it had many interesting recipes--especially the automatic pilot drink made with acai berry--but unless you are a true brazilian, I don't know if you would like to have that diet every day. I do drink the automatic pilot everyday, however, because I like the taste and because it gives me a burst of energy. Therefore, I could tell that the diet would probably work, but I did not follow it except for that one change in my diet. There are too many places to eat out in the world and the diet has to be more forgiving--at least for me. Also, I am very fascinated by Capoiera, but for me, I need a visual. I gave up on trying to learn the movements from a book and I live in a place where there are no classes. The best thing that I could tell the author, and all people who have diet and exercise books, is that we live in a multimedia society. It does not seem to be so difficult to package the book with a dvd demonstrating the exercises or even a music cd with the music that the book references. Maybe I need to work at a publishing company, because I think that cross promotion and multi media books are the wave of the future. How many "product placements" do we see in movies. Think about it, the tourist industry in Brazil could place a promotional cd in the book as well, touting all the fun of traveling to the country, deomonstrating the food and culture and then the author and the publisher could get richer and everyone would be happy.

I've read every book, tried every program, and joined every gym in the city, but it wasn't until I paired these sensible work outs with the simple and delicious recipes that I finally saw my body change. Good bye pear! Hello bikini! I can see my hips! Whoo hoo! Try this book, you won't regret it!
