Does the Acai Berry Diet Work?Acai Berry seems to be one of the most popular and controversial diets at the moment...I have even seen advertisements for it on facebook. But does it work? First I decided to look up the actual health benefits of the acai berry. According to WebMd.com, the acai berry contains the antioxidants anthocyanins and flavonoids. A diet rich in antioxidants helps to "neutralize free radicals" which would otherwise speed up the aging process and increase your chances of heart disease and other life threatening conditions.
Acai berry has not been thoroughly tested or proven to promote weight loss; however, many believe it to be a superfood. I visited one website that told the story of a woman who tested out the acai berry diet for 30 days. She chose, as many others had suggested, to try this diet with a colon cleanse. She was skeptical at first, but was testing this product as part of her job as a reporter. She claims that she did not alter her diet or excercise during the trial and after 30 days felt more energized, was in a better mood, and had dropped 3 dress sizes.
I think it will be interesting to see what scientists end up proving in terms of the weight loss aspects of the acai berry. Most of the reviews that I read told a success story, however I don't think I would try the acai berry/colon cleanse diet with more scientific evidence. The following website has a link to order both the acai berry and the colon cleanse, along with coupon codes to get both products for about a total of $5.

I'm glad that i'm not the only person to be skeptical of this diet. When ever you look it up it only shows success storys but I don't see how it would work. A lady at my work tried it and she says she lost 10lbs because it caused her to lose her appetite and she was never hungry. So if all it does is make you feel full all the time so your never eating then that can't be good for you if your starving yourself, yes you would be losing weight so i guess it would work but then your missing out on a lot of vitamins and nutrients
ReplyDeleteI find this post interesting because I recently started drinking Acai Berry juice. I tried it because I heard about all the antioxidants in it and thought it was worth a shot. I ended up liking the taste and continue to drink it. However, I never heard about the diets using Acai berries so I think that's cool. The way you're explaining it does make it sound like a very skeptical diet.
