What is an good and trustworthy acai berry diet?
I want to know the diets or acai products that actually are safe and effective and good for the long run. Thanks!
Answer:
This whole acai berry thing is a scam.
Acai berries are high in antioxidants.
A diet high in antioxidant foods can increase your metabolism.
An increase in metabolism can burn more calories.
More calories burned can result in weight loss.
Acai berries cause weight loss!
That is the big “stretch” these con artists are selling.
Acai berries don’t have any more antioxidants in them than blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, or blackberries. At 10 times the price because they are “exotic”.
The “cleanse” pills that usually come with them contain nothing more than psyllium husk powder to help you poop more. There is no such thing as a “fat burner “. Burning more calories than you consume is the only fat burner.
None of these weight loss supplements guarantee anything unless you establish a healthy diet and exercise program.
So why not just establish a healthy diet and exercise program and keep your money?
The same “stretch of the imagination” applies to green tea capsules, maquiberry, hoodia, moyoberry, gojiberry, fruta planta, hoodia, and african mango seed extract pills out there.
Spending the same to a day on this junk would pay for a great gym membership.
The only weight loss supplement I recommend is a basic multivitamin.
A healthy diet high in both soluble and insoluble fiber is the only safe way there is.
Are acai berries very good for the brain?
I bought a v8 drink called acai mixed berry juice. I was wondering if it has teh same effects as the acai berry.

Does acai berries work in a protein drink?
So I realize that acai berries are very helpful in weight loss and that they’re very healthy for your body. But would you still receive the effects of the acai berries if they were in an Acai/Apple protein drink at a local food store?
Answer:
No, acai soes not aid weight loss. There is no medical evidence that the supplements work.
It is a berry with a short shelf life that unscrupulous people have turned into an industry based on lies, fictional testimonials and airbrushed photographs.
It has no more antioxidants (which do not aid weight loss) and other beneficial properties than locally bought fresh berries.
Is the acai in Smirnoff Strawberry Acai coolers the same as the berries advertised as a diet aide right now?
I bought some ages ago before acai berries were really popular and I was just wondering if it’s the same berry that is advertised as a weight loss supplement all over the place? Is it supposed to make people buy more or something because they think it’s healthy?
Answer:
It’s a whole marketing scheme to promote wellness and a healthy alternative. Little do consumers Know, The amount of sugar and carbs in just 1 bottle is the equivalent to probably a big mac lol
Which supplement product is the original one of Acai berries?
I heard of Acai Pure in the oprah show with special guest Dr. Oz. Supposedly, this natural product, made of natural acai berries that are found in rain forests in the Amazon, contains anti oxidants which can help you lose weight. Some people think otherwise and is saying some products could be scams!
Answer:
“Some people think otherwise and is saying some products could be scams!”
COULD be? They ARE scams. All that “Amazon”, “berries”, “anti-oxidants”, lingo is just stuff they put in their message to convince ordinary people that it is some miracle drug. It’s not, it’s a gimmick. You can lose fat without supplements. The only thing Acai berries will do is give you the feeling you are losing fat faster than you really are.
To lose fat:
1. DON’T BELIEVE THOSE FAD DIETS! DIET PILLS ARE GIMMICKS!
2. DO NOT STARVE YOURSELF! Unless you are 4ft tall, a 1,200 calorie a day diet is DANGEROUS and won’t work in the long run.
3. Calculate your BMR. Do a google search. A good calculator would ask for your age, height, weight, and activity level.
4. Eat healthy and eat about 500 calories a day less than your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR). Your BMR is how many calories you need per day to maintain your current weight.
5. Eat 5-6 small meals a day. This keeps your metabolism up. Each meal should include fruits, veggies, water, and protein.
5. Drink at least 64oz (8 8oz glasses) of water a day. No soda (that includes diet soda).
6. Do light/moderate cardio 3 to 5 times a week for 30 to 45 minutes each time. Running, bicycling, and swimming are great for this.
7. Do some strength training to make sure you lose fat and not muscle. Don’t worry; you won’t look like the hulk if you lift weights.
8. You should lose about 1-2lbs (.45-.9kg) per week. If you lose more than that, chances are the rest is stool, water weight, or even muscle mass.
9. Weigh yourself only once a week at the same time (ie every Friday morning). Your weight fluctuates a lot during any 24hour period because of water and food intake and also bowel movements.
Be patient and be smart. If you follow this guideline you will be very happy with your results.
