Bikini Boot Camp was created by Melissa Perlman and Erica Gragg who are founders of the Amansala Spa in Mexico; a favorite wellbeing retreat of supermodels and celebrities including Sienna Miller, Cindy Crawford and Linda Evangelista.
The creators of the program say that you can lose 4 to 10 pounds and achieve the bikini body you want in two weeks. It is a comprehensive program including healthy eating, exercise, meditation and motivation techniques.
Although the term ‘boot camp’ creates visions of army style relentless workouts, Erica claims that the program won’t leave you feeling completely exhausted.
The combination of healthy eating, exercise and addressing psychological aspects is designed to help energize you. The phrase ‘boot camp’ refers more to the attitude of self-discipline and resolve.
Bikini Boot Camp guides readers so that is possible to create the spa program experience in their own homes. In addition to recommendations for healthy eating, exercise and relaxation techniques readers are also provided with instructions for spa treatment rewards at the end of the day with recipes provided for facials, cleansing beauty treatments and herbal baths such as ‘Oatmeal Rose Skin Restoring Bath’ and ‘Cooling Cucumber & Honey Scalp Treatment’.
The creators of Bikini Boot Camp don’t like to call their program a diet but instead regard it as a total lifestyle plan. Their philosophy is ‘moderation not deprivation’.
Although the program is designed as a two week intensive overhaul the idea is that the fast results achieved, combined with the changes in emotional and psychological outlook, will result in an increase in motivation that will lead to a permanent healthy lifestyle.
The program can be repeated to increase results. Book includes lifestyle plan to follow at the conclusion of the initial 2 week program.
Includes lean proteins like fish and chicken breast, high fiber carbohydrates such as whole grains, beans, fruit and vegetables as well as healthy fats.
Other low calorie recipes can be found here.
The book outlines a complete fitness regime with detailed explanations and illustrations.
The exercise program includes:
These exercises can be used with Bikini Boot Camp
Bikini Boot Camp retails for $17.95 US.
It is unrealistic for dieters to expect to achieve their goals in two weeks especially given the wide range of weight that individuals may wish to lose. However if you can look beyond the claims that you will achieve your ideal body in two weeks this is actually a very balanced plan for longer term weight loss.
This is also a very demanding program in terms of the time investment for exercise and food preparation however those who dedicate themselves to this plan will most likely achieve good results in a relatively short time while also creating positive lifestyle changes that will benefit health.
AFTER A MONTH OF EATING THIS DIET AND EATING ASIAN CHICKEN LETTUCE WRAP I GAIN 300 LBS. AND BECOME ASIAN!
well i think that it would b good…every1 wants to have a swimmers body
hmm this seems like it would be a good diet except for the exercise part. An overweight or out of shape person wouldnt be able to complete all of the exercise recommendations listed.They would need to start out slow and progress
im doing a repost on this diet and it sounds like a good diet.i would love to try this out because i run and it would keep me in good shepe.but i think im in good condition so no thinks =)
this diet seems kinda weird… and i don’t think that it will work… i want to be in a bikini but… i don’t think this diet will get me there!!!!!!!!
hmm i like the exercise part alot
Why don’t they make diets for picky eaters? I’m not horribly picky but I don’t like a lot of things.
from the comments i just read, it seems the bikini boot camp diet works.Therefore I will try it and see how it will work for me.
First it was the Merena coil (a progesterone contraceptive coil – I believe group action law suits are in progress in the U.S.on this product ) that was a 16kg weight gain, a breast reduction and lipo suction didnt even touch sides as no diet or excersize had helped either. Next came the cortisone injection into my epidural cavity – I now have symtoms that resemble cushing syndrome. This is a round face, and what they call buffalo back and a swollen abdomen!I have been on this diet for 4 months as I can only do pilates and it seems to be working . I would like to warn other woman about these two products – they can be lethal to those they dont agree with. Its certainly ruined 5 years of my life. I had been one of the lucky ones that maintained my same weight from my 20’s to my mid forties. ( This is not menopause)
diets are all mentally challanging you just need the motivation to keep going
Sounds exiting!okay okay im a fitness freak so obviously it will…can anyone just explain to me why they always have to give al this wierd names to food!making it realy dificult damn
Eek, this diet looks too hard to maintain!
this may be to hard i think you should start off slow and progress.
the only propper and effective way to loose weight is the old fashioned way. Fruits, veggies, few carbs and some excercies. everything else is just a joke and a scam to get your money.
does not make no sense, there diets are crap!
i mean get real!
This is essentially the diet I made up for myself, minus all the exercise. I created it for myself to lose weight gained from a steroidal injection I received for a torn disc. I’ve lost 10 pounds in 2 weeks without excercise, which would probably be triple that if my back weren’t preventing me from exercise. I recommend it highly.
this diet is crapy
i lost a stone in 2 weeks, and i feel great its amazing!!!
what do you just do one of the bulet points or all of them ?? 🙁
BIKINI WHAT?!
I got the book! 🙂
interesting
