Can some recommend a Acai Berry supplement that has positive reviews from yourself or other you may know?
I’m looking for an Acai Berry supplement that works. There are tons of them and only a few I hear actually do what they are suppose to do. Can anyone suggest one? Did it work for you?
Answer:
Actually none of them work. There has been no study that proves they work, and there is no reason to believe they do. The sites that sell them on the internet (probably the ones that say only theirs work) are scams.
They are high in anti-oxidants, but not as high as blueberries. They really aren’t special, and definetly not worth the price. They don’t make you loose weight, nor any of the other supposed magical properties.
Does the Acai berry supplement and colon cleanse thing really work?
I have heard the Acai berry and Colon cleanse “diet” works really well. I am iffy on taking these supplements – do they work? what kind of effects will it have? If I take this am I going to be in the bathroom all day and night?
Answer:
When I was interested in this, I read the reviews on Amazon.com (that’s where I was buying it from since I didn’t want to give my debit information to some site I didn’t trust).
Basically, what I got from that was that the acai berry supplement energizes *some* people, but doesn’t really contribute to weight loss at all.
The people who were pleased with the Colon Cleanse were using it to become regular and not to lose weight. Some people said that they had lost a few pounds from removing all the waste that had built up in their intestines. Generally, the people who were trying the acai/colon cleanse combination did not lose weight, or did not lose enough weight to be satisfied.
If you read the directions, you have to adjust the number of pills you take so that you are having 2-3 bowel movements per day.
Side effects include cramping, bloating, and diarrhea.
What else do you have to do while using the Acai Berry Supplement?
I’m planning on getting the Acai Berry Supplement thing to lose weight. Is there anything else I have to do when taking it to lose weight besides just taking teh supplement? [exercise a certain amount, eat a certain food, etc.]
Answer:
Acai is just a fad diet that fails just like all the other fad diets. It’s nothing special, it’s not a miracle food, it’s just a gimmick. Whose bright idea was it to take health and fitness advice from Oprah, a 200lb whale?
To lose fat:
1. DON’T BELIEVE THOSE FAD DIETS! DIET PILLS ARE GIMMICKS! Yes, Acai berries/pills/juice is a fad diet.
2. DO NOT STARVE YOURSELF! Unless you are tiny as it is, a 1,200 calorie a day diet is DANGEROUS and won’t work in the long run.
3. Find the ammount of calories you need to eat per day to maintain your weight. Try this link: http://www.exrx.net/Calculators/CalRequire.html
4. Eat healthy and eat about 500 calories below that number. Eating too little will result in loss of water weight and muscle mass, not fat (what you actually want to lose).
5. Eat 5-6 small meals a day. This keeps your metabolism up. Each meal should include fruits, veggies, water, and protein. Oatmeal is great for breakfast.
5. Drink at least 64oz (8 8oz glasses) of water a day. No soda (that includes diet soda). A great FAQ for proper diet (and general fitness): http://www.liamrosen.com/fitness.html
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. If you are obese, do low impact stuff like walking or swimming.
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. Concentrate on compound movements like the squat and deadlift, to name a few. Check www.exrx.net to see examples of proper form.
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.
Be patient, be smart, and get plenty of sleep. If you follow this guideline you will be very happy with your results. Good luck!
Can acai berry make thin people lose weight?
Im a pretty thin guy and i take acai berry supplements morning and night for the antioxidants but lately i’ve noticed that i’ve lost weight. For a person my weight losing weight is unhealthy but i like having the antioxidants in my supplement plan. So do you think acai berry is making me lose weight?
Answer:
Antioxidants do not aid weight loss, so it’s not the berry.
People eat acai berries to address various health conditions. But so far, acai berries have no known health benefit that’s any different than that of other similar fruits.
Check the ingredients to ake sure they don’t contain any sort of laxative. Google the ingredients individually.
eg Some contain magnesium stearate which may be hydrogenated. Some conain psyllium, a bulking agent. Anybody can be allergic to any ingredient, even to the berry itself.
Why not stop taking them for a bit and see if things improve?
You could do better with a good mixed diet and if you continue to lose weight talk to your doctor.

The fact is all Acai berry website claim to work wonder all you have to do is swallow the pill and then when you recieve the pill they tell you to eat right and excercise and you will loose weight, well if you were to eat right and excercise you will loose weight with out the expensive Acia pill that does not work and with out the numerous fraudulent credit card transactions.
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
Is it safe to take the acai berry supplement while breastfeeding?
i’ve been breastfeeding for 2 months but i really would like to try the acai berry supplement, without having to stop the breastfeeding. does anyone know if it affects my baby in any way?
Answer:
There have been no adverse reports or studies showing that Acai has had any problems with pregnancy or nursing. In it’s simplest terms, it is a fruit with very high antioxidant support, so your body would see it similarly to eating a bunch of Grapes, Oranges, Apples, etc. You should have no problem at all.

Good luck and congratulations on the baby!
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.
