How does acai berry actually help me lose weight?


I've been looking into all the offers floating around on the internet as I'd like to lose about 25lbs over a span of about six months with nothing too harsh. I stumbled across what seems like a great article — http://www.top-acai.com/articles/the_truth_about_acai.html — on what acai actually does, but I want to know if anyone else has any insight on the matter.

Hello, Scott. I think it is important to understand something about acai berries – it is just a fruit. Sure, it has a high amount of antioxidants, but a quick trip to the acai page on wikipedia will show you that it is not even the top in that region, either. For the most part, it is a scam in the sense of the companies making money off of false pretenses. Sure, you will hear about people losing weight eating/taking a lot of acai, but let me ask you a serious question.. would the result have been different if it was a lot of a different fruit? Personally, I don't think so.

If you understand all of this and still want to have some acai, then approach it as any other fruit and enjoy yourself. However, I would stay away from the "free trials" being thrown around. You are almost guaranteed to get burned here, there are a lot of reports of people being charged for extra shipments they didn't ask for.

I don't think it is very productive to just shoot down someones question and not add anything constructive however, so I'd like to recommend some reading on a diet called calorie shifting. I have heard good things about it, but I'll drop a link below and let you decide for yourself.

I hope that whichever path you end up taking that you do lose your unwanted weight, you will surely be a much happier person in the end for it.

    They give you more energy and clean out your system. Also, I've noticed, with me, they make me sweat like a slave.

    I will tell you from my experience of taking Acai Berry for three years. I lecture on health Studies so I am a bit of a skeptic on a lot of nutritional products. I liked the idea and literature on the product so I started taking it .
    No one in Ireland knew what I was talking about and I got my product from a US company. With regard to weightloss ..I did not really lose.much . .
    I am on medication that puts on weight so I felt that the fact that I had remained fairly stable was good.
    I have been taking the product every morning . and as time went on it suddenly hit me that I am never sick .
    I lecture in a college and this winter the lecturers are dropping like flies with flue,chest infections etc .Everytime i get a runny nose like I am going to get sick ..it lasts a day and just cannot get going .
    In the last three years at college I have had 1 day sick. Everyone complains and I always feel really well and they all ask me ,how come i am never sick.
    So as far as the immune boosting effects are I would like to say that it is a fantastic product…and that is based on experience.
