Chris Noth went to the rainforest to slim down for the next 'Sex And The City' film.

The actor went to a special Brazilian resort specialising in a holistic approach to fitness to get in shape for his role as Big, Carrie Bradshaw's husband, in the upcoming second film.

He said: "I went to a place called the Island Experience in Brazil on Ilha Grande.

"I needed to bring my body into fitness - so I went for nine days.

The only problem is the upkeep of it. Restaurant portions are way too big. And you realise everything around you is basically bad for you.

"It was a total vegetarian diet. Basically, you spend all day doing yoga, hiking, kayaking, eating vegetarian food, no coffee, no alcohol, no meat.

"You're cleansing yourself, but not starving yourself. I've never been a vegetarian, but the way they prepare it is exquisite. And you're in one of the most beautiful Atlantic rainforests on the planet."

Chris, 54, admitted he struggled to get to grips with the yoga aspect of his training, but since completing the course he now realises how bad certain foods are for you.

Chris - who recently got engaged to partner Tara Lynn Wilson - added to Us Weekly magazine: "I'm not a big yoga person, so that was hard. But it was basic Hatha yoga. Eventually I loved it.

"The only problem is the upkeep of it. Restaurant portions are way too big. And you realise everything around you is basically bad for you."

The second 'Sex And The City' film is due for release in March 2010.
