The Bikini Model Program
For those of you who are regular Celebrity-Diets.org readers, you’ll know that I often test out different diet pills & weight loss plans as part of my ‘Melissa Tests It’ blog posts.
I’ve finished on the Bikini Model Program and overall I really did enjoy following it. I still do the work outs and follow the eating plan (not as strict as I was though).
All of the following posts were spread over approximately 10 weeks. I hope you enjoy reading it!
Please feel free to leave a comment on this page if you’d like to ask me any questions. I answer most questions in the video blogs.

Week One on the Bikini Model Program
Yep so for the latests ‘Melissa Tests It’ experiment, I’m on the bikini model diet and will be updating my weight loss. I haven’t been exercising very much this week because I’ve had the flu but can notice a difference in my weight already. I have been following the eating plan from the book 
This video was taken after a few weeks of no diet/exercise. I basically gained weight because of the movie Eat, Pray, Love. I figured..I’ll buy bigger clothes! After a few fun calorie free weeks I am now planning to get into great bikini shape for summer.

My Bikini Model Program Update – Beginning of Week 3
After 15 days on the bikini model program I’ve lost 6.6kg so far. I think its a program I’ll be able to stick to long term too which is good! Obviously I’ll ease up a little bit when I’m quite happy with my weight.
I like the structure of having a proper eating plan and exercise regime thats not too strict. I’m able to switch things up all the time!
The ‘low calorie splurges’ are a huge help but some of them have sweetener in them so I try to avoid them
On an unrelated note, did anybody from the US catch the Victorias Secret Fashion Show? I’m dying to see it!
Anyway, here is a video of my progress on The Bikini Model Program

WEEK THREE
10th December 2010
Lost 1.5kg This Week and 8kg Total
Ok so I’ve been following The Bikini Model Program as part of my ‘Melissa Tests It’ blog posts. For the past 3 weeks I’ve been following it really closely & have also had three cheat meals, usually on Sunday. The past week I haven’t done much cardio because things have been so hectic with Christmas just around the corner!
I’m too tired to write much more (its 1:44am here!) so I’m off to bed. If you have any questions I’ll come back and answer them tomorrow! I think I cover everything in the video though

GENERAL UPDATE
28th December 2010
A Belated Merry Christmas
I haven’t done much work on the site recently due to all the Christmas festivities and last minute gift shopping! I just thought I’d give you a little update on how things are going. For the last week I have strayed from the Bikini Model Program a little bit! I am back on track now but just couldn’t maintain it with all the Christmas gatherings. I managed to eat fairly healthily on Christmas day. I mainly had salad for lunch but did eat my fair share of caramel slice and chocolate!
I thought maybe some of you out there had also had the same thing happen during the last week. Let’s just all forget it happened and move on? Ok! Sounds like a great plan!
If there is any chocolate/cakes/junk food left over from Christmas maybe you should remove it from the house. It’s just too tempting! We’ve probably all got our New Years Eve outfits picked out and three days of healthy eating will make the world of difference to how you look and feel on New Years!
Do you have any goals for 2011? I’d love to hear them!
Here are my goals (in no particular order)
- Go to the gym at least 4 times a week (holidays excluded)
- Swim with dolphins – I’ve had this goal for the past 5 years and its really not that unachievable. 2011 is the year!
- Eat smaller portions of healthier food
- Never feel ashamed/embarrassed about my body (because I’ll always be bikini ready)
- Spend more time with my parents
- Explore South East Asia for a month or more and not be afraid to try new things
- Be more outgoing and confident
- Don’t go to fast food restaurants as often
- Have a closer relationship with my sisters
- Get a dslr camera and learn how to use it!
- Take better care of my hair and skin
- Drink green tea!
- See baby turtles hatching
- Go on more beachwalks – appreciate nature
- Walk my dogs more often
- Take better care of my car! (it hasn’t been serviced in a while)
- Drink more water
- Try new recipes
- Donate to charity
Here’s a photo of my little sister & myself taken on Christmas day
Yep I made the caramel slice. It was a hit!
What are YOUR goals? Leave them in the comment section!!!

AFTER 2 MONTHS

My Bikini Weight Loss Journey After 2 Months – Before & After Clips
I had told you of my Christmas calorie dilemma in the last update but want to let you know whats been going on since then
I have been roughly following the bikini model program diet but definitely not properly the way that I should be. I also haven’t been to the gym regularly either!
Another bikini video is coming tomorrow (although I wont be as skinny as in the last video).
The latest news is that I just booked my tickets to South East Asia!!!
The scary part is that I’m leaving in only 6 weeks lol. I have SIX WEEKS to be in bikini ready shape.
If that isn’t motivation then I don’t know what is!
So the plan is to be strict on the program again and recommence doing weekly videos. I’ve found a sneaky little trick for reducing carbs at lunch too so I’ll be making a recipe in the next vid. I’m going grocery shopping today and filming the update tomorrow.
Even though I’ve strayed a little bit from the program I’ve still managed to keep a bit of the weight off. I somehow fit into a size 6 dress for New Years Eve! (I’m not sure what size that is in America?)
If you have been following the program I’d love to hear how you are going. Please tell me!
Also please feel free to share diet tips in the comments section below. I want this website to be a place where we encourage each other to be healthy, eat well and share anything we learn
As for my trip Id love to hear any travel tips too!! I’ll be away for just over 4 weeks and most places will be very beachy so bikinis are required. I’m going to an island called Palawan (Philippines), Krabi, Phuket and Phi Phi Island in (Thailand), Ho Chi Minh, Hanoi & Halong Bay (Vietnam) plus Borneo (Malaysia). Yep so I’m in hardcore saving and diet mode for the trip
Krabi, Thailand
Palawan, Philippines
I’m hoping to see Orangutans in Borneo!
PS: The other day my boyfriend told me about a protein powder that has been specifically designed to replace meals and has appetite suppressant in it so I’m thinking of adding that into my program if it works and tastes good.

UPDATE & HEALTHY BURGER RECIPE
9th February 2011
Healthy Burgers With Carb Reducing Trick
Here is one of the main things I’ve been eating that has really helped me stay full and lose weight at the same time! In The Bikini Model Program there is a recipe for veggie burgers that is quite simple with not many ingredients. I started out having Jennifer Nicole Lee’s recipe but then it morphed and snowballed into this giant salad packed burger!

UPDATE
23rd February 2010
A Quick Update From Manila, Philippines
Hi everyone!
I’ve arrived in Manila safe and sound and will be heading to Palawan this afternoon. I wanted to let you know that I’m not sure if there will be internet on the island so I might not be able to post again until the 2nd of March. Hopefully theres some sort of connection!
Also as an update on the bikini model program, I took a video the night before I left but didn’t have time to upload it. Of course I left everything to the last minute and was in a mad rush!
I’m just trying to figure out how to get the hd video file onto my macbook so I can post it up! For some reason it just doesn’t seem to be agreeing with my computer. Any tips?
I think I look more toned in the arms and stomach now. My legs unfortunately are still my problem area but still WAY better now than before starting the program. I’ll get a few bikini shots too.
This next thing Im about to tell you is something I find quite interesting…
The bikini model program has changed the way I think about food. Every other time I’ve been on holidays I seem to just throw in the towel (so to speak) and just eat whatever I want whenever I want. I never set out on this trip with any restrictions or limitations at all but have been eating very healthily and making wiser food choices.
At breakfast yesterday I found myself choosing to have low GI complex carbs and protein (from beans). In the past I would have had a big bowl of sugary cereal, fruit salad, yogurt and probably a few pastries.
For breakfast this morning I had an egg white omelette with tomato, onion and capsicum plus a little bit of fruit salad.
I feel less bloated and more motivated because of the food choices I’ve been making. It’s good feeling in control of my health! Also my shorts are getting a bit loose and I don’t have to worry about trying to find baggy t-shirts to wear after demolishing a huge buffet breakfast.
There’s no scales over here but last time I weighed myself I was still 48.5-49kg.
Yep I’ll be putting up a video or photos soon hopefully so stay tuned. I hope you are all happy & healthy! I just want to thank all the regular readers of this website too. It’s great having a little online support group of people who are interested in healthy weight loss!
“Whats this Bikini Model Program she keeps talking about?” – It’s a downloadable ebook available worldwide (I only test things available in every country). I’m testing it as part of my ‘Melissa Tests It’ blog posts. Written by fitness model and celebrity Jennifer Nicole Lee.
Ps: The photo was taken a few weeks ago with my new dslr camera (bought for this trip). I just don’t have any photos of the trip to put up so far so thought that picture was pretty cool!

HOLIDAY UPDATE
27th February 2011
Hi From Club Paradise
The site has been a bit quiet lately due to the limited internet access I have here in Palawan. I just thought I’d give a little update on whats been happening!
Well it’s almost impossible to eat healthily here but I have been doing my best. The resort is truly amazing, theres just one downside. Vegetarian food is quite unheard of. The only thing for guests to eat is a buffet breakfast, buffet lunch and buffet dinner. Not an ideal situation for a vegetarian trying to watch their weight. The only vegetarian food available on the buffet is rice, a small amount of salad and dessert. Or I could order a three cheese pizza from the snack menu. So the bikini model program isn’t going too well for me this week!
I’ve been trying to eat a big meal of cereal, omelette and rice at breakfast. Then for lunch I’ll eat two pieces of fruit (smuggled out at breakfast) and for dinner I order one plate of food from the buffet (so I don’t get tempted to overeat) and I steal a few bites of dessert from my boyfriend who usually gets the buffet. Yes very difficult aren’t I? Desperate times call for desperate measures lol.
For exercise I’ve been swimming and snorkelling everyday. The reef is gorgeous here and you can just walk in from the sand and see schools of fish, octopus and starfish.

Final Bikini Model Program Update & General Hello!
Hello everyone!
Just thought I’d give a little life update
Since returning from overseas I have been hitting the gym around 3-4 times a week and eating semi-healthy. I am not following the bikini model program as strictly as I was before going overseas! I have found a happy medium in my weight now with the help of the program! I know that if I want to lose weight and tone up I can just cut carbs out at night and use the recipes from the book. As its winter here now, I am usually covering up most of the time and eating pretty well overall.
Out to dinner recently
Fruit & Vegetable Haul from Farmers Market
Fighting sugar cravings with Fruit & Veg Juice!
Weighing Portion Sizes
I’ve learned that to maintain a healthy lifestyle you need to practice portion control and try to balance things out. For example, last night I had my sisters over and we ate nachos & lemon tarts. Instead of being upset about the calorie consumption (we’ve all had that post calorie regret!) I am just focusing on eating extra well today and ensuring I don’t miss my workout. So tonight at 7:30pm I’ll be off to the gym to do some cardio while watching Masterchef, then hitting up the weights room and doing a leg workout!
Vegetarian Chicken & Salad
If you’re looking for an amazing cardio workout, I cannot recommend skipping highly enough! It is ridiculous!
I had my first skipping sesh since returning from Asia and it was such a crazy workout! I only lasted 6 minutes and was more out of breath than after an hour at the gym.
Invest in a skipping rope ladies!
I have some bad news! My youtube account was deleted! I think it had something to do with me linking to my website because I cannot think of any other reason as to why. When I logged into my gmail account it said that there had been suspicious activity so I’m not sure if it had been hacked or what. It’s gone now and after emailing youtube I received a generic response saying that I violated the terms and I am not able to make a new account. I will make a new one and link it here eventually (hopefully it won’t be deleted). But in the meantime I have been using Vimeo to reupload all the videos!
Things have been a little bit busy with work since returning which is why posts have been sporadic. But now it’s winter so I’ll be less busy and there will be more posts
There will be more beauty related posts too, not necessarily just dieting.
FOR ALL VEGETARIANS!
I have some amazing news! I have recently noticed some new SOY FREE vegetarian products in Woolworths. The brand is called ‘Quorn’ and apparently its huge in the UK! I’ve tried all their stuff so far and I am so impressed. They are delicious and not too unhealthy either. Veggie mince is around $6 for 500g which isn’t too bad (not amazing value). It doesn’t have much taste on its own and I’ve found that by adding some taco seasoning it makes excellent taco mince!
This is the UK package I think, it's different in Aus
Wholegrain wrap, veggie mince, tomato, onion & salsa
Here’s the last video that I promised months ago! I had filmed the bikini part the night before leaving for my trip and hadn’t filmed an introduction until last week so FINALLY after months of waiting here is the FINAL Bikini Model Program update.
I have new hair too, not sure how I feel about it yet but here’s the vid!

Cheaper Alternative To The Bikini Model Program
24th April 2011
I’ve been receiving a few emails and comments concerning the price of the diet plan I recently tested out as part of the ‘Melissa Tests It’ blog posts (the bikini model program). I’ll be the first to admit that it is quite pricey!
I’m by no means made of money and I’ll admit to even being a bit of a scrouge. Or as my sisters call me ‘stingy’. Well…it’s hard to not be seen as stingy when you’re faced with endless bills. Living out of home is pretty expensive!! So yes, I definitely thought twice before buying the book! I did decide to try it out in the end because of that age old saying ‘You get what you pay for’. And I do think my progress and knowledge I’ve gained was worth the $127.
However, for some it is just too much money to justify spending on a diet plan. It’s been brought to my attention by a few lovely ladies that Jennifer Nicole Lee’s ‘Fitness Model Program‘ is a lot cheaper. I think it would be pretty similar and includes a few of the extras. It is also one of the top selling fitness books (like the bikini model program). So it’s a good alternative for those who want a proper diet & exercise regime at a lower price.
I’m thinking that because the Bikini Model Progam has a co-author that they had to put the price of the program up.
Here’s a little bit of a review I found on the Fitness Model Program by Jennifer Nicole Lee. The program starts at $49.95 for the basic edition and the deluxe edition is $79.97.
Fitness Model Program Overview
With a name like the Fitness Model Program, no one should be surprised that a fitness model created the program. The brains behind the program is Jennifer Nicole Lee, a fitness model who is also a ACE certified fitness trainer, fitness book writer and owns her own fitness and wellness empire, JNL, Inc.
Review of The Fitness Model Program (Not by me! Taken from the internet as I haven’t tried it personally)
Jennifer is well suited to creating the Fitness Model Program. The former Ms. Bikini America and Ms. Bikini Universe used to weigh over 200 pounds and has years of experience in physical training.
Bonuses offered with purchase include a look at how to kill cravings and a bikini boot camp program to blast fat and tone up muscle quickly.
The program is specifically catered to creating and building a toned feminine female physique. The Fitness Model Program is a plan that new mothers with excess baby weight to lose and women of all ages and fitness levels can follow.
The program is not only about weight loss. The focus on tanning, teeth whitening and make-up may help women feel better about their appearance as they lose weight and create the complete package.
How Does The Fitness Model Program Work?
The Fitness Model Program is available in two different editions, a basic edition for $49.95 and a deluxe edition for $79.95. The deluxe edition includes several additional bonus eBooks that focus on easy changes that will add up to weight loss, methods of jump starting weight loss and what to avoid when trying to lose weight. Jennifer advocates exercising for an hour for 4 to 6 days a week. All exercises can be done at home and only dumbbells, an exercise bench and a workout mat are needed. Nutrition is also a part of the program with a food plan formula, grocery list and recipes included. A section on time management will help women make the most of their time and fit exercise into their daily lives.
If you want to get fit, this fitness model may have some great workout advice for you. If you’re looking for an easy way out or a fad diet, one thing I respect is that she does not imply that you can get it easily!
Fitness Model Program Conclusion
Jennifer brings over 20 years of experience to the table and her eBook offers practical weight loss advice. Her focus on teaching women to manage their time and avoiding procrastination to reach their weight loss goals will help women get the sleek toned bodies they desire.

Comments on The Bikini Model Program
You are so inspiring! I just bought the Fitness Model Diet book =) I wanted to buy the Bikini Model Program, but it was a bit pricey, and the Fitness Model Diet book had a preview from what’s inside of it and it included recipes and workouts, so I got it =) I’m really excited to start! Thank you for posting about the Bikini Model Program! I’m really hoping that the one I just bought will work as well, but if it doesn’t, I may just have to spend the money and get the Bikini Model Program. I most likely would have gotten the book for that one, but it seemed to require you buy a lot more than just that haha. Anyways, I hope you’re doing well! Thank you again (=
Hi Kristina, I agree that the bikini model diet is a bit pricey. Totally worth the results though! I think the fitness model diet will be just as good though
Hello, im just about to start this diet and i was just wondering if you could put up a plan of what you would eat aech day and the excersise you would do througtout the week. Btw thank ever so much for doing this, its really supprising to see that this diet actually works im just about to buy the book
cant wait to see the others x
Im going on holiday in about 4-5 week’s time, and i was wondering using this program can get a bikini body by then?
How do i download the bikini model program? and where can i find the excersise regime and eating plan on the ‘bikini model program’ official website? because the actual book itself seems quite pricey even for the U.K.
thanks again, its nice to see this program actually works
thanks you melissa
Hi Pria, I think 4-5 weeks is enough time to make a noticeable difference. I guess it all depends on your starting weight and how much you are trying to lose before you go away. I agree that it’s pretty expensive which is why I’d say get the Fitness Model Program instead if you cannot afford it. I personally haven’t tested it out but a few readers have tried it and are losing weight with it! http://www.fitnessmodeldietplan.com. You’ll be in awesome shape for your holiday regardless Pria, if you’re on here researching diets over a month before you go then I’m sure you’ll apply yourself to a healthy diet and exercise plan! Where are you going on holidays?
Hi Pria! I replied to your other comment
I give some tips away in the videos. The best tip from the book is to “Eat breakfast like a Queen, lunch like a princess and dinner like a peasant”
Hey Mel,
I used to read your website back when you were trying Hoodia chaser etc and found you very inspiring so thought I would check out what you are up to now. I’m pleased you’re still commited to the updating the website. congrats on the bikin model diet- you look amazing!
What do you think will be you next ‘Melissa tests it’ experiment. Have you heard of “Jillian Michaels 30 day shred” or the harder “Jillian Michaels rotation”? Her workouts are killer. I’d love to join in with you on your next challenge. x
I was wondering how long is the bikini model program? and did you get the deluxe edition?
Hi Alec, the program is 208 pages long and thats not including the extra books. Yep I ordered the deluxe edition
Hi Ash, wow that was a long time ago! Thanks for coming back to the website
I haven’t tried any of Jillian Michael’s programs but they sound pretty intense don’t they! Perhaps I should give them a go! I’m thinking for the next ‘Melissa Tests It’ that I might try out appetite suppressants or fat binders. If I do appetite suppressants I will test two different products against each other. I’ll take one for a week and record how long it takes before I’m hungry after eating (I’ll have a set meal plan and eating times). Then the next week I’ll see how long it takes before I’m hungry after eating but with a different appetite suppressant. What do you think about that idea?
x
Are you more interested in the results of appetite suppressants or fat binders?
I would love this!
Hey girl Im Margaux from France! I just can’t believe you ve lost 7kg in only 2 weeks! Congrats! I used to be 49kg for 1m67 but I gained pounds when I went live in USA and I am now at 62kg.. it is so so bad! summer is coming and I really need to go down at 52kg! I go to the gym every day but I eat way too bad to loose. How many calories were you eating on this diet, like around 1000 ? I think that Im going to eat a lot of protein, what do you think about it?
Protein shake for breakfast ( 260cal for 42g protein) then a chicken breast for lunch then greek yogurt at 5 then Protein shake for diner.. I think Heidi Klum did this diet after her last pregnancy.. Anyways I really need to loose 10 kg as soon as possible. Do you think I can make it in one month?
Can you email me some tips that could help me to loose please! I know I can do it because I used to be 49kg at 18. By the way Im 20 now!!!
Again congrats for your weight lost!
Frenchie
I think appetite suppressants would be more interesting. Don’t fat binders have gross side affects?
x
Haha only if you eat too much fat. You have to control the fat intake of every meal I think
@Margaux: Hi Margaux! I didn’t really count calories on the plan but I would estimate around 1200-1400?
I think it’s possible to lose 10kg in one month, if you sign up to the newsletter (enter your email in the box on the right) there are some free diet plans that will be sent to you!
Goodluck!
Hey Mel, I bought the program after seeing your second youtube update with the hopes of having the same results.
I just wanted to say thanks!! I was trying to lose weight for my cousins wedding and wanted to shock my family with how much weight I’d lost. It totally worked!
I lost 27lbs in 6 weeks and one of my cousins hardly recognised me. I hold a lot of weight in my face and look so much thinner now.
I’m going to continue following the program and have been stalking Jennifer Nicole Lee and your website religiously for more tips!
Thanks again!
Love your site btw
Sasha
xx
Bonjour Mel! Thank you for replying! I waiting for it a lot!!! You really inspired me and i really want to thank you for this! I really need to get motivated and this video really starts helping me! I just have some questions like were you eating the veggie burger every lunch? It seems very good!
Oh and If you want to come to france let me know!!!!
Margaux!
Hi Margaux,
I might be going to Paris and The South of France next year! It looks amazing over there. I am in savings mode now
I didn’t have the veggie burger every lunch but I did get pretty addicted to it!
xx
Hi Sasha,
I’m so glad you’re having success with the program too! Sounds like you did incredibly well!
Jennifer Nicole Lee is pretty inspirational, I have her on my twitter lol
Thanks for visiting the site
Hey Mel!
I know I live in the South ( aix en provence) and I study in Marseille! If you stop by, let me know! Right now I am in NYC for a 3 months internship and Its very hard not to eat all this junk food! But Im trying very hard! I know you’ve lost 7kg in 2 weeks and I wish I could do that to but I really don’t know what to eat and what can make me loose. Im going to have the veggie burger 3 to 4 times a week! And eat like nothing for dinner.. maybe its gonna work! Anyways! If you have any request where to go in France, just let me know and I will tell you the prettiest place!
Xoxo
For the Leg workout do we just pick three from total or three from each part of legs? And did you use any supplements?
Egypy
Thanks for the reply, and i now have the fitess model program, Thank you Melissa you really are an inspiration to women out theyre trying to get more healthy thanks 
xx
Thank you so much Pria! I hope you enjoy the fitness model program!!
Hi Melissa ,
I got inspired by your weight loss..and now have my bmp program with me.I want to lose 12 kgs .That is a big no. i hope i can do it . I was going through the diet plan and i don’t like turkey and fish i’ m more a chicken&veggie person.I would like to know what was your diet plan while you were in bmp program. If you have any recipes that will be very helpful.
CONGRATS FOR YOUR SUCCESS .YOU ARE REALLY A BIKINI MODEL
Thank you
Hi, i recieved the email for the diet plan ans wondered if i can add a few tweeks to suit my timetable through out the day,
50 ml of fresh water and weetabix for breakfast
I have no dinner usually so i will stick to having no dinner
Then when i get home have 100ml of water + an hour workout
And then what ever lunch i have at the night
Is this plan suitable??
Hi Leanne, you need to follow the diet exactly. You can’t skip dinner, you need to be eating every 3 hours!
I’ve been on the program for 2 weeks and lost 7lbs so far! I really like how it gives options for takeout. I never knew what to order before and would just end up getting chips (I thought they were healthy? haha)
Are you still on the program Mel? Have you kept the weight off?
Awesome work Kat! It’s funny that you mention you thought chips were healthy. Today I saw somebodies facebook status that said “I just found out banana bread isn’t healthy!” as if it was a shocking revelation. It makes me realise how little some people know about healthy eating. I was completely the same before I began researching into weight loss and dieting! I am still following the program but not in a strict way. I’ve kept the weight off and am managing to do so by allowing myself small amounts of junk food, exercising regularly and using the recipes for dinner.
Hi Mel
I just checked and the bikini model program is the same price as the fitness model program now! I have really terrible willpower and cravings for sugar and carb. How did you manage mentally to stay on track for two whole months?
You look amazing btw
From another Mel
Where does it say that? I just checked both prices and they are showing up as different to me!
I think having a reason to lose weight (the holiday) really helped stay on track. Set a date in your head for your big ‘reveal’ haha
Hi Mel, I think i clicked on the wrong page and got a review of Fitness Model Program which was listed as the same price as Bikini Model program. I think the person reviewing the programs got it wrong. I have since clicked on the official page and you’re right! It’s cheaper =) phew.
Thanks for the advice…i am thinking of what would really motivate me now
Oh good! I saw it for the cheaper price at http://www.fitnessmodeldietplan.com
x
can I ask what the exercises were like and do you need access to a gym?
Hello
I have a question for Mel or anyone who has done the Bikini Model Program. I just bought it a few days ago and am doing my monday workout for the day. She says in the book that every day is about 45 minutes of working out. My weight routine only took about 20 minutes..and I was taking my time on each rep…is that about the same time that any of you were working out for on weight days? Or did you add in some cardio to achieve the awesome results you did?
Thank you in advanced!
-Bree
Hi!
I just found your site a couple of days ago and I love it! Tried to watch a couple of your bikini model videos though and it says that your account has been suspended…
Hi Annie, thanks for letting me know! I had no idea :s I tried logging into the account and it said it had been linked to suspicious activity. I haven’t used the account in weeks! Not sure what’s going on, hopefully I can get my account back. I’m going to upload them to dailymotion and put them in here. So annoying!!!
Hi Bree,
I usually do a few different exercises per muscle group. Is that what you’re doing too? If you only do one exercise per muscle you’ll fly through the workout!
Hi Mel, thanks for replying
.
I do 3 exercises per muscle group. So on monday that was a total of 6 exercises for 3 sets at 12 reps.
How long does it usually take you to get through it?
Hey,
I stumbled upon your site about a month ago and ever since I have wanted to try the Bikini Model Diet. You were my modivation and your results are amazing!! Today I bought the Bikini Model program and am so excited to start it. I was just wondering, you made it sound so easy but wanted to know if at any point you thought about giving up because it was to hard or if you hit a plateau. Also what was your favourite snack and dinner meal during the diet?
Thanks heaps
Bree
I usually take around 30-40 mins! Do you have a rest in between sets? You should be a bit out of breath after each set and need a bit of a rest. Maybe try going up in weights? xx
Hi Bree, thanks for reading my site!! It’s so exciting having a new program to start isn’t it!
Of course I thought about giving up, it’s hard to stick to your diet plan when friends and family are eating delicious food around you. If you stick with it you’ll get the results and they’ll end up wanting to know your secret! I could never really get lower than 48.8kg on the program. I think that must be my bodies natural weight or something?
Don’t give up Bree!
Goodluck
Yeah i just gota make sure im stick to it and not give into chocolate or potato chips lol
Also juts another question while I think of it, I know it says not to run during the diet but I was wondering if you ran at all while you were on it. Its weird because I when I think of loseing weight i relate it to running.
thanks heaps
Bree x
Perhaps a slow jog would be ok, she seems to be against running as a fast paced walk can get you into fat burning mode. Follow the plan exactly remember
“Don’t run or try to embrace another form of low impact cardio. Believe me,
your muscle mass and your joints will thank me! Bikini Models and other
professionals lean towards the “no running” principle because it’s known
to “eat away” at the muscle you work so hard to gain. Don’t work against
yourself and defeat your progress by running. It takes a lot of energy with
no real gains, except for cardiovascular. You can receive cardiovascular
benefits from other low impact versions such as using the Elliptical, Nordic
Track, Air Stepper, and the Stair Master.”
(Excerpt from The Bikini Model Program)
Hi Mel
I found your site about a month ago and was really impressed by the bikini model program. When I saw your toned body after doing this program I was really wondering what kind of exercises you did. Especially your abs are really tight. What kind of exercises did you do?? Just like sit-ups and crunches? Would be really grateful for some informations.
Thanks
Sabrina
Haha well goodness! I guess I need to slow down my reps. The weight is already pretty challenging, but I’ll try and see if I can add more
. I’m taking about 15-30 second rests in between..so it looks like I may need to up the weight in order to need more rest perhaps.
.
I definitely am still sore the next day which is a good sign haha.
Thanks for the reply! Your results were awesome, so I needed to know if I was doing the program the same way
Hi Sasha! I started this program this week and was wondering if you had any tips for any of us who would like to see similar results? I have a birthday coming up in a little over 6 weeks and would love to lose 20+ lbs!
For some reason I feel like I’m GAINING weight in these first few days, did you experience that? Because it’s starting to freak me out haha.
Did you find any recipes useful during the program?
Thanks!
-Bree
Hey Sabrina,
I actually didn’t really do much ab work. I had abs hidden underneath my fat before haha. Everyone does!!
I like ab plank exercises!
x
Hi Bree!
I can’t really think of anything that I’ve done differently other than follow the program.
It’s funny you mention you feel as though you are gaining weight. I felt the same too! It’s unusual eating so much food. Usually me on a diet means trying NOT to eat.
When I weighed myself I had lost weight, thank god!
I am in LOVE with the angel food cake recipe and for dinner I have been addicted to the chicken spinach salad with nuts & strawberries
Best of luck Bree! x
Hey Melissa, watching your videos has made me more excited about trying to loose weight, cos ive always been worried nothing is going to change about my body
i have a gym membership, but i rarely feel like getting up and actually going, and doing cardio for 30-40 minutes is so much. i dont know how to keep going for that long without giving up! My body is fairly similar to yours at the start of your diet. How do you keep all the excercise going?!
Thankyou, emily X
I have the best tip! Take headphones..find out when a show you like on tv will be on and go!
It makes time go so much faster. If you don’t have tvs at your gym you can put something to watch on your phone or tablet or something
Hey Melissa
Thanks for answering my question. Yeah that’s right. Guess there are some abs hidden underneath my fat as well
Hopefully they’ll be visible soon. I’m 21 now and decided to change my lifestyle completly. Well I always wanted to be skinnier but never did the first step. Now it’s time 
I’ll try something like the Bikini MOdel Program. Like eating 5 times a day, lots of protein and veggies, working out 4 times a week,… Hope this will help 
Btw I’d love to go to Australia next year if possible (flights are really expensive). What places can you recommend?
Sabrina
Hi Melissa,
Thank you SO MUCH for posting these vids and all, you’ve been such an inspiration x) I just have a question: I went on the site and it said the program required “only 5″ pieces of equipment, and I’m wondering what equipment I would have to purchase? Thankyou xx
And congrats on your progress, Mel – I was like *shocked* at your results!
P.S. I’d really like to buy the program, but I’m only in my early teens. I think it’ll be okay, cause I’m not dramatically out of shape or anything, and if the workouts are too rigorous I guess I could complete less reps, etc.? Well, I just wanted to ask your opinion on this, since you’re going through it. Thanks Melissa XD
Hi Mel,
haha, working hard and have good results, just my belly needs a little more work.
congratulations!
Thank you for answering my email. I have a question: how many days in week you do exercise and what kind of workouts did/do you do for your belly?
I am on my own “bikini-body-plan”, I should have the “Victoria’s Secret body” at the and of the May.
I have my motivational things and my diet for all this.
And your final results are cool. You did it!
How is your plan going Miranda!?
Hey Mel, my plan is going really well, thanks. I increased cardio exercises and yoga. I do workouts every day, only resting that day when i have muscle sore, that day I just do 15 min. yoga.
Eating 1200- 1300 cal. healthy food and drinking water+apple cider vinegar and green tea.
How is your diet going?
Hi Melissa, i want to do the bikini model program and i checked the website to buy it, but i cannot find it sold seperately and i really do not have the money to be getting the extra’s, do you know where i can get the book seperate? or anyway i can find out how i can start the diet so i have an idea? thankyou! love your site, its great! (:
also i would like to know if you prefer the fitness diet plan or bikini model program??? thanks!
If you go to http://www.thebikinimodelprogram.com and click ‘Order Now’. Then on the page it takes you to, scroll to the very bottom and there is a pink link that says ‘Click here to order the basic edition now’

I haven’t tried fitness model program so I can’t say. I do know bikini program is good! x
thankyou so much! looks like i am going to have to start saving up, i can only find it for $97 ): lol unfortunately i have to pay for gas-______- hahaha. thanks again tho!
Hi Mel,
Great site!
I was wondering if you think this is the most sustainable, effective and healthy weight loss program you have been on?
I have tried several diets and am leaning towards the more organic types. Do you think this diet embodies nutrition and health?
I am very close to purchasing but hesitant as I have so many others: Bill Phillips Body for Life, Michelle Bridges ‘Loosing the last 5kgs’, Harley Pasternak ’5 Factor Fitness’ and I just recently purchased Clean & Lean by James Duigan, Elle MacPherson’s trainer which I am yet to read.
I have also started Jillian Michaels ’30 Day Shred’ which I noticed another post mention. It is great, you should give it a go!
I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks
Did you do cardio more than 2 times a week?
Did you use the jumping rope additionally to the cardio, or as a part of the two times a week?
Hi Malene,
It really varies depending on how much time I have to workout. Lately I have been doing 2 cardio only days, 2 weights days with 10-15 minutes on elliptical trainer afterwards. I try to take my dogs on walks more often too! Jump rope is definitely considered as a cardio only day. It’s such a good workout!
Hi Jayne,
I know that it’s the most sustainable weight loss program for me. I haven’t read a lot of those books you mentioned so I cant really say which I like the best!
The reason I like the program is because she gives options on what you can order from takeaway places (mcdonalds, subway etc) and ‘low calorie splurge’ options. Lots of diets tell you that you CANT eat junk food and don’t give you any options for when you have cravings
When I was on the diet solution program it made me feel good and lose a bit of weight but I felt very restricted in terms of what I could and couldn’t eat. For example, I had to cut out ALL bread products and buy a sprouted bread. The sprouted bread was ok the first time I had it but after that I couldn’t stand it!
I think the BMP is a bit more realistic and is quite flexible but still allows you to lose weight at the same time
I hope this helps!!
xx
DANG you are so inspiring! I can’t wait to try this diet plan!!!! Wow! How do you stay so motivated though?? I feel like im going to have a hard time eating only the totally healthy foods youre supposed to?
I am wondering about the same thing!
If we are supposed to do 3 calves exercises – isn’t that a bit overkill?
Or are we supposed to do one calf exercise, one hamstring exercise and one leg exercise – which is a total of three. Or should we do three exercises on legs, calves and hamstring – which is a total of 9?
This day confuses me, since the only thing listet is “legs”. Do they count that as one muscle group?
hey
i just wanted to ask how much does the whole thing cost?
Hi Hannah, either $97 or $127. Depending on which option you get.
That’s about it really!
You might need to buy a skipping rope if you don’t already have one

Hey there.. I love your blog & often visit it to get motivation. You look amazing! Curious, how tall are you?
I’m 5’2″
Hi Mel,
I’m new to your site and really motivated by your results. I purchased the BMP too. In the book, Jennifer recommends not eating a complex carb at dinner but I noticed many of the dinner recipes have some sort of complex carb from tortilla wraps to couscous. Do you normally have a complex carb at dinner? Thank you!
Hi! I was very curious about your review and I just started the Bikini Model Program. I was wondering if you were drinking any protein shakes or any of the vitamin supplements listed in the book?
Hi Anna, the main supp from the book that I used was protein powder
Hi Mel,
About to start the BMP and eating 5 meals a day looks like soooooo much food. Did you really have 5 meals a day? Like 2 snacks and 3 meals? What were your fav snacks to have during the diet?
Cheers! You look amazing!
Hi Mel,
I had one question though and it was that I was wondering when you would have your protein shakes? What meal would you replace and how often. Thank you and hope to hear from you soon 
I came across your website two weeks ago and I think it is amazing what you do here, you really gave me the motivation I needed to kick start my healthy diet to get bikini ready
Hey Mel,
I love your site and really appreciate all the work you do keeping everyone updated on various diets/nutrition info. Anyway, I was thinking about purchasing the Bikini Model Diet program and was curious to know if the program is vegetarian-friendly? Also, does the program give you a regimented meal-plan or is it more flexible?
Thanks!
Thank you for reading my site! I’m a vegetarian too
It’s flexible! x
Hey Mel!
I just purchased the bikini model book- i am the same height and weight as u before u started so very motivated after seeing what your results!
just wondering if u did the cardio every day or just on the designated days?
thanks
xc
Hi Charli!
Mostly the designated days, sometimes I added in a little bit extra cardio at the end. Follow the program exactly and you will get the same results!!
xx
Hey Melissa!
I absolutely love your blog and your progress is amazing! I’m getting married next spring so I decided to get a jumpstart on my fitness plan for the wedding and do the bikini model program? I have a few questions though about what you did:
1) Did you only do cardio on two days?
2) For dinner in one part of the book they mention omitting a starchy carb, but a lot of the dinner recipes include quinoa, or rice, etc. Did you follow the meals as they are written, except for making vegetarian alternatives?
Thanks!
Hi Mel,

Hello,
Thank you so much for your review !
My name is Célia, I am 20 years old and I am French.
I have been fighting with my weight all my life and the diet you tried just seems extraordinary. I want to try it so bad ! The only problem is I don’t have 127 dollars to spend. Do you think you could make my dream come true by sending it to me ?
Also one thing I won’t forget : not doing more than 45 minutes of cardio. I was always told that it was the minimum. Now I am going to cut down on it.
Hi Mel,
I was just wondering, what were your favorite snacks to have whilst on the program as I have recently bought it and find the snacks to be a bit confusing! Also, I find there is some conflicting information on a few of the foods involved and I wanted to ask did you measure out your food in cup sizes and ounces or just have as much as you felt like? Other than that I just want to say your blog is amazing, you’re gorgeous and I am completely envious of the body you have from this program! I really hope it works for me too, fingers crossed!
Thankyou!
you really are very inspiring… i lost 11 kg last year, and then gained 2 kg back.. now i still wanna lose 5 so i’ll be down to 48. How tall are you anyway? and by the way, you have got an amazing body!
I just wanted to thank you for putting up this fantastic site
lol, at first I was a little skeptic, seeing as how it seems like nothing is truly genuine these days, but your personal work and progress has inspired me to try it 
Hi Mel,
Thank you for documenting your weight loss for us. I bought the ebook after seeing your results. Are you still following the same weight training program? Hope you are having a great weekend!
Hey Melissa,
I’m from Germany and found your videos in the internet. I’m very impressed what you did! Thank you so much for putting up this site:) you’ve got an amazing body! Are you still doing the diet?
have a great weekend:) and thank you!!
Hi Mel!
Your progress is very motivational! I can’t really afford the program but I’m following the health/exercise tips to try to get in shape. We’ll see how it goes.
It seems that in your program you were not “allowed” to run for the reasons you just posted, but in an earlier post you encouraged us to skip; but isn’t this just the same?
I’d be happy to add some skipping to my routines, but maybe it’s not such a good idea?
I’d love to hear your thoughts on this, and if skipping was mentioned in your program.
Thank you very much!
Hi Mel,
I would like to ask where i can buy this book.
I still live in Thailand (Pattaya), i was really impressed and i would like to do it.
thx
Hi Nana, I bought the book online (its instantly downloadable). Go to http://www.thebikinimodelprogram.com. Goodluck!
Hi Gina, I wish you luck on your weight loss journey!
No you aren’t supposed to run but JNL really recommends skipping as it burns so many calories and works all your leg muscles at once. It’s awesome!
Hi Mena, I’m not following the diet AS closely as it is now winter here. I still use all the tips and do the workouts
Hi Janet, thank you for reading my site! I hope the ebook has been as amazing for you as it has for me. Yes I still follow the weight training program! xx
very cool.. I admire you for this.. I’m not really disciplined but I really really want to do a diet.. was the book translated in german, do you know this? xx
Hi Mel, thanks for your reply!
I was wondering about this because skipping is kind of the same as running –> in place… (or maybe I’m wrong?)
I find that it’s a good change, it adds variety to a workout or to a workout program.
Any insight?
Anyway, it is more practical for me, as I’m a little shy about running outside, and it gets me moving, which is better than nothing.
But I’m still curious as to why skipping but no running.
Thanks and good luck to everyone trying the program!
Hi Mena, I’m not sure if it has been translated. You receive it as a pdf, maybe you could copy and paste it into google translate?
okay I’ll try.. thank you very much!! and never forget, there are so many peolpe who are very thankful, you’re amazing!
This just shows hard work can really pay off! Congrats and i hope I get the same results you look great! Thanks for the videos and advice!
Hello!
I really like your blog
i think you have such an amazing figure as well before and after this bikini model diet. you’re an inspiration!
Hi,
I recently purchased the diet, how often did you have the splurge snacks a week? what were some of your cheat meals on a Sunday? also did you ever cut out the rice or wraps at night because it says not to have carbs at night but than the receipes have carbs in them?
Thank you, you did awesome on the diet.
hey mel,
I came across your website the other night and I think its amazing that you created this website. I’m also what you would call skinny fat and am just trying to tone up. I was about to try the bikini model program but since the videos were originally posted almost a year ago, I was wondering if you have found any other diets that you have liked better or if you still recommend the bikinimodelprogram? thanks!
I still recommend it, I haven’t really needed to try anything else! I’ve been using the Brazilian Butt Lift home workouts too
xx
Hi Lincy,
I thought I had replied to your comment but it isn’t showing up now. Most of the recipes on the diet plan were low carb, high protein. If you google ‘low carb, high protein diet recipe’ you will find lots of great weight loss recipes
Try having tofu and vegetables in a stirfry for dinner! I also loved the vege burger recipe and made a video about it
Good luck xx
Hey Claire,
Sorry for the late response!
The 5 pieces of equipment are very cheap but as I have a gym membership I only needed to buy a skipping rope
You need a workout mat, a pair of dumbbells (you can fill milk cartons with water or use cans of soup as a replacement), Exercise bench, stability ball and piece of cardio equipment (jump rope, hula hoop, elliptical machine, treadmill etc)
I don’t think you should be on a strict diet as you are in your early teens. Perhaps you should sit down with your parents and tell them you want to adopt a healthier lifestyle
Hope you’re doing well!
xx
@Claire:
Hi Janet,
If I have carbs at dinner it is usually something small (e.g. wholemeal tortilla wrap). Unless it’s cheat day I usually avoid having many carbs at night!
Hope that answers your question
Hi Lindsey,
How did you go on the plan?
The best way to stay motivated is to cut out or print photos of someone that you aspire to be like. It could be anyone! A celebrity, fitness model or even a photo of yourself at a lower weight.
It’s not too hard to stay on track if you have a goal. Also, having a cheat day really helps mentally. You can think to yourself.. “Only x amount of days until I can eat whatever I want and not feel guilty!” @Lindsey:
hey Mel, i am from Australia, and i was wondering did you order your book? if so how long did it take to arrive?
you look great. thanks alot!
Thanks Kate! I ordered it online from http://www.thebikinimodelprogram.com. It’s downloadable, you don’t receive a hardcopy in the mail as it’s an ebook! xx
oh ok, so can that be used on any kind of computer? thanks
hi mel, i messaged you before, i have another question, i am able to afford the basic edition, so i am 95% sure that i am going to get it, but i am worried it won’t have the meal plans or shopping list, so i was wondering do they come in any of the books that are only included in the deluxe version?
sorry it was a bit confusing
Hi Kate, yes any type of computer. You just need to be able to view adobe files so may need to install adobe reader (http://get.adobe.com/reader/) which is free
x
Hi again! Everything you need to lose weight incl meal plans, shopping list, workouts etc is included in the Basic Edition. The Deluxe edition has added bonuses that may help motivate you and stop binge eating
Hey i was wondering if there is any way i can buy a hard cover book of the bikini model program, instead of downloading the ebook.
please let me know
Hi Melissa, i came across your blog and was really impressed with your results from the BMP. I am considering BMP but is it a must to have the exercise bench? Is it possible to do the exercises without it?
Hey Melissa!
I bought this program in July, but I have such a hard time stick with the diet because of visiting my family, dinners out, etc. I am going on a cruise in December and I really want to tone up. How did you stick with your diet and still do social events, especially around the holidays?
Thanks! Your results are so inspiring! I’d love to be in such great shape by December!
Hey Mel!
First, you look amazing and you are such an inspiration! Also, what workouts did you do for your stomach? Thanks again
Hi Mel, i just wanted to ask you if you counted calories or carbs and if you did, how many calories and how many g of carbs did you eat?
xxx
Hi Melissa,
Your results were so inspiring I went and bought the bikini model program
I was just wondering if you understood how to do the exercise with the stick behind your head that she mentions in the bikini boot camp PDF?
I’m really confused about the way she’s explained it….
Thanks!
Chloe,
I think JNL is referring to oblique twists, which is where you put a long wooden stick across your shoulders holding each of the ends, and twisting from side to side. It stretches and tones your obliques.
OMG you look awesome! I love that your goals include everything from all aspects of live. Love from Ottawa, Canada!
Hey Mel!
I only found your website a couple of days ago and am amazed at how much weight you lost! congrats!
im 15, and i know i’m not fat, i’m just not as fit and skinny as i used to be and i want to get back to being fit skinny, hopefully by summer which is sooon. do you think it’s worth just getting the basic addition?
That makes sense now
Melissa, I was just wondering how tall you were?
Because 49kg seems really light but you don’t look sickly thin in your videos you look really healthy and fit
Hey did you get the deluxe program from bikini model or did you just buy one book??
Thanks
i went to the website ‘the bikini model program’ but i couldnt see where abouts on the page to purchase the download for the program. could you please tell me how much it is and where on the page it displays it?
thank you!
p.s whats the difference between the deluxe edition and the normal one?
Hi Lori, if you scroll to the bottom there is a big red ‘order now’ button. Deluxe edition is $127 and basic is $97. Deluxe includes a few extra bonus ebooks and motivational mp3 tracks whereas the basic only includes the book
Dear Mel,
I have been visiting your site and have been watching your videos.
I wanna say that you look great after the diet but I think you look your best after week 4 (in the strapless bikini).
Could you tell me how much you lost during the diet?
For some reason, I cannot watch the first video so I don’t know how much you weighed before starting the diet.
I feel inspired after watching your videos, and am planning to go on a diet with my best friend
I wish you could give me or rather us some tips as our main problem is that we are emotional eaters
It’s not like we are over-weight or anything, but we wanna get fit in time for Christmas.
Thank you and keep up the great work.

Hi mel! I was justwondering whether you think protein powder would be a good idea for me?
My problem area is my stomach, ifindithard to
Loose weight there. Is protein powder a good
Way to maintaintain a better weight? And what powder would recommend? Is slimfast a good
Option? Sorry for so many questions! Thanks for
The great site!!
Hello Mel!
I’d just like to say big thanks for all your posts anc congratulations on your success! If you don’t mind me asking… how tall are you?
Thanks.
Ina

Hi Ina,
Thank you very much! I am 5’2″

Hi Billie! Do you currently work out? I think protein powder is good for everyone, as long as it isn’t the weight GAIN powder haha
I personally prefer the Syntha 6 or Lean Dessert by BSN but recently ordered some Optimum Nutrition Golds WPI. As for your stomach, you can’t spot reduce so you will have to lose weight all over in order to get your stomach into shape 
Hey mel
thanks for the reply! yeah i do sit ups and crunches every night but i’m trying to do some more cardio, i think i’m gonna try skipping like you recommended. i recently bought some meal replacement powder which i have once a day So i hope it works! Thanks again! keep posting xxx
Hi Melissa,
Your videos are VERY encouraging. Can you tell me how much you worked out per week on a good week? Meaning, when you had the time to work out, what did a good workout day look like. Also You mentioned the Hydroxy Phase Protein in one of your videos, did you like it? How did it compare to the others and did it really help control your appetite? By the way your hair color looks great with your complexion.
Thank you!
To be honest, I got over the Hydroxyphase after a while. I worked out 4-5 days a week
Hi Melissa!
My name is Ali and I have been looking at your blog for the past couple days! I’m super interested in starting the Bikini Model program. I’m 5’3″ and about 123lbs
I would love to go down to at least 109lbs. I noticed that you were about my size when you started the diet and you lost what I would want to lose! My concern is spending the $127 and it not work for me. Do the books tell you all the information you need? I would definitely want something very informative because I’m so ready to start losing weight! I guess I’m just scared to start something a fail at it…how would I go about buying the book and it there just one book I can buy or do I have to buy the whole set? Thank you so much for taking your time to read this! You have totally inspired me because you have a rockin body!
Ali
Hey Melissa,
How much did you lose total shown in your before and after pictures?
hi melissa… i just had a quick question regarding the bikini model program. i’m not what they call “skinny fat” i’m actually overweight… i’m 19 years old, around 5’6″ & weigh 165 lbs. would you consider i go on this program too? i mean, i don’t need to just tone down like you did, i need to actually lose a lot of weight. i’m aiming for 20-25 lbs in the time span of 2 & a half months. if i were to go on this program, would i able to achieve that goal? please let me know as soon as you can. thanks
.
Hi! Im Anai from Spain, Im living in usa and im getting weight, i saw your videos and i really liked them, i wanted to ask you if the food that you should eat inthe diet is common food or it is difficult to cook because Im living with a host family so I dont want them to cook weird things; moreover i wanted to ask you if you go to work out to the gym, what kind of exercises do you do, if are they difficult and if you can do it at home.
Thank you!!
There aren’t any weird ingredients in the diet haha
You can do a home workout but you will need to buy a skipping rope!
Hi Mona, I think the program is for anybody looking to lose weight no matter how large the amount. You will lose a lot of weight at the start at the diet (mostly water weight) and you need to continue to stick with the program to see long term results!
How long did you do the program? was it really extrict?
im sorry, but i need to ask you if you bought the book online or in a store, because im looking for it in stores but i cant find it
hi mel!i need your help….i’m thin but i fell fat…I’m 177 x 60 kg…can you help me to lose weight and be 177 x 50 kg? thank you!
Hi Anai, it is online only sorry!
hey! i decide to buy it but i need to know if you get all the books online or they send you them to your house. Thank you!
hey! i decide to buy it but i need to know if you get all the books online or they send you them to your house. Thank you!
Hi Anai, they send you everything online
Mel, your results were absolutely phenomenal! I’ve definitely been keen to to the BMP but I’ve been meaning to ask, is the program vegan friendly?
Hi Vicky, as a vegetarian I was able to follow the plan. Yes it is vegan friendly, you’ll need to buy a vegan protein powder (soy protein or pea protein). Good luck!
Hi Mel,
I enjoyed going through your website and I am going to jumpstart this year! I was wondering if you had to drink the protein shakes everyday?
I do! It’s up to you
I love your site. I’m 5’1 and i was just wondering what your height is because you say your short?
On the last photos your body looks like a Victoria’s secret model body! Do you see that?
Hi, i’m from the U.S.! I was thinking of trying “The Bikini Model Program.” I’m 20 years old and I weight 130 pounds I need to lose atleast 15 pounds in four months. Is this goal possile with this diet program? Does this diet program really work?
Hey i was just wondering what your height is? I ask because i wonder how your height compares to your weight loss? Love Your Site!!!
Hi Melissa,
Did you drink any alcohol while doing the bikini diet?
Hi Lana, no I didn’t
Hi Jalisa, yes I think it is possible! As you can see from my results, if you follow it correctly then it does work
Wow! That is a huge compliment. They are actually a LOT leaner than what I got to. Camera adds ten pounds
Hey. I was wondering if u drink the bikini model shakes with the protein powder everyday, but dont have a chance to workout everyday, will the protein make u gain weight? Because i heard it will.
Hey Melissa! i just bought the diet and i was wondering the name of the proteins that you used to have for the diet.
P.D: I love your blog, you are doing such a good job about anorexia and bulimia
Hi Ania! I recommend Syntha-6 or Lean Dessert by BSN. They are probably the tastiest I’ve tried. If anybody reading this has any suggestions, please feel free to let me know! I’m always on the look out for a new protein powder
No it doesn’t make you gain weight Kenley! I still have protein powder on the days when I’m not training
So what is your everday exercise plan? Do you do all of the exercises that they give u in the book to do each day? Are there days when u just drink the protein shakes and dont eat anything else? Sorry im asking so many questions. LoL. I just got the book and i just want to make sure im doing it right.
Hi Kenley, just I follow the exercises given in the book. No there are ever days where I only have protein shakes and not anything to eat
Hi Mel,
I would like to say as a person in her thirties who has had two kids, that you should enjoy your young unstretched body. It was nice and would have had guys looking before you did the diet. Eating healthy is really good I am a big believer in healthy eating. Just don’t magnify every tiny figure flaw you see nobody else looks at you as critically as you look at yourself. Enjoy being young and beautiful and realize that you are. You have youth once and it is hard to prolong if you’re not a celebrity. Don’t spend it being insecure that is what I did it is a huge mistake! And take heaps of pictures of yourself even if you don’t like pictures they nice to show your kids and to look at yourself when you get older.
Regards
Alicia
ps. Men are insecure so they rarely give compliments they don’t want their girl to get a ‘big head’ and think she can do better.
Hi! I came across your website yesterday, and I have been on it nonstop! I’ve read every celeb diet program you’ve posted and now i’m following your Bikini Model program..
