These are all diet tips I have been told/friends of mine have been told by Brazilians. You be the judge...
1) The crust of bread is good for you but the middle, soft part is fattening.
2) Mangoes and acai should be avoided because they are too high in calories (this was told to me by someone with a plate full of deep fried salgados in front of them...)
3) When you are on a diet you should eat minas cheese and processed turkey breast with bread for breakfast.
1. This is true! But I first witnessed this with a friend in L.A., I used to call her "the bagel scalper" because she would only eat the outside crust of a bagel, it was hysterical what was left over. Poor bagel.
2. True again, acai is very high in calories unfortunately, though beneficial nutritionally. People watching their weight opt for the much lighter mamao papaya instead.
3. Minas is a very light cheese, especially the light minas, much lighter than even cottage cheese. I like it ok, it just spoils quite quickly. The smoked turkey & cheese breastfast staple...it is the most common breaskfast whether on a diet or not.
Have a great trip!

My Brazilian SIL takes out the inside of her bread rolls before she eats them! My husband was trying to tell me the soft part is bad for me too.
