Acai berry weight GAIN – help please?
Feb 26th
I have just started taking pure acai berry juice and after the first three days, I have PUT ON over a pound, I am bloated and I am constipated! This is crazy. Everything else about my diet and exercise routine is the same, so it must be the acai. If this is a normal part of the cleansing process, please can someone reassure me. If not, well, I’m going to stop. I’m not overweight – I just wanted to take this stuff to cleanse me out and because of the other health benefits. Well, it might work for others, but it looks like it is messing me up big time.
The Acai Berry – The Price of Success
Feb 24th
The Acai berry has some extraordinary properties and because of this it is rapidly becoming the most popular dietary supplement on the market however this popularity has attracted some unscrupulous people who are keen to exploit the little Acai berry’s success.
There is a small minority of suppliers out there who are preying upon people’s desire to experience the innumerable health benefits that the Acai offers.
This small group of amoral con artists have set up Acai distribution companies that deal in shoddy, inferior produce. The Acai supplements that these companies provide have none of the potency that quality Acai products have and what’s more, because they are likely to be adulterated with other substances there is a chance that some of these products could cause side effects. This is something that people who purchase genuine Acai need not worry about as the fruit itself does not cause a single side effect.
Some disreputable companies have even used the appeal of the Acai to set up reprehensible credit card fraud schemes. These work by offering you a free trial only to charge you for shipping costs not just for the period of ostensibly ‘free’ trial but ad nauseum. These payments are notoriously difficult to cancel and have robbed people of thousands in the past.
So how do you avoid falling victim to this scam? Simple, you just ensure that you consult impartial, reliable Acai information from the Acai blog. The Acai blog has loads of informative articles that cover everything from consumer experience to the scientific research currently been conducted on the Acai

First and foremost PLEASE DO NOT respond to this question if you are going to tell me about how diet pills do not work and to just work out! Thank you…Okay my question is about the free trials do they just charge you the shipping prices on both products or are there hidden fees after the trial? My other question is does it REALLY work? Give me your stories and experiences please? But I mainly want to know about the free trails and how it works from your experience!!!!! Thank you
What’s a great way to loose weight for teens?
Feb 16th
I am 15, 5′3 and I weigh 120.5. I know it sounds fine, but I want to at least loose 5-10 pounds… I think I’ll benefit more if I lost a few pounds. Right now I am already exercising on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and yoga on Saturday. I try to eat about 900 calories or less. I heard about acai berry…….. but I really want something that is kinda cheap and tastes good. Any other tips about loosing weight would be great too.
Does Acai berry really work?
Feb 14th
I’m interested in this product. I’m already in good shape, but my six pack isn’t showing like last year, and I wanna reveal the rest. But I know how things work. Once there is a hype, everyone jumps on the bandwagon. So who has a legitimate product? What’s the most tested, and observed product with the best results? Is this for someone who only wants to shed like 5 lbs?
Has anyone experience with acai juice? Alot of conflicting advice about the products on the market?
Feb 8th
Acai berry is from Brazil and is being touted as having amazing health benefits however skeptics say the products being marketed only have a small percentage of the juice and the claims are based on flawed or slanted research.
Acai in the Media
Feb 6th
The media has been buzzing about Acai for different reasons, the purple fruit that originates from the Amazon Rain forest on the amazon palm trees. Acai is a small berry, mostly found with a seed, covered in a small amount of pulp. Unlike its small size, it has a large nutritional punch, more than any other food in the world. Acai juice has tremendous health properties and could be one of the best foods to stay healthy.
Survey shows that the acai berry has abundant nutritional value and is used as a popular supplement. If you wonder how the fruit really tastes, well it is like a vibrant mix of berries and chocolate. The hidden royal purple pigment in this fruit makes it nature’s perfect energy fruit.
In the CBS Early show, “Food for Your Heart,” their dietician Keri Glassman said that acai fruit is rich in B vitamins, minerals, fiber, iron and calcium, protein and omega-3 fatty acids. Oliec acid, a beneficial fatty acid is also present in this fruit. This fruit does not have cholesterol and fat.
NBC Today’s show content presents, “Five Life Changing Foods,” which says that acai fruit is known for its high antioxidant count. It is proven that it contains 10 to 30 times more antioxidant than blueberries, pomegranates or grapes. And this berry drink is the best antioxidant with the highest ORAC values in the world. It is also an excellent source of dietary fiber.
Additionally, acai, media’s new fruit baby, is enormously rich in organic vegetable protein. It does not produce cholesterol during the process of digestion and is quickly and easily processed and transported to your muscles. In addition to its content of protein and lipids which are unsaturated, acai is also rich in carbohydrates that provide your body with the required energy while practicing any kind of sport.
The juice and puree of acai berry have been used in beverages and is more popular in Brazil. The recognition of the berry started to spread from Brazil to the rest of the world at a very fast pace. In today’s hectic lifestyle, there is no doubt the acai berry is winning the lead globally. The acai berry gives your energy levels a boost and at the same time reduces hunger feelings.
Lailina Wisoff, a Kaiser Permanente dietician, at ABC News, Denver, has a view that açaí’s major selling point is that it contains a significant concentration of anthocyanins, the antioxidants believed to lesser the chances of heart disease. The fruit helps you ward off cancer, prevent Alzheimer’s disease and protect your heart, helping you live longer and healthier.
The most up-to-date health fad in the United States is acai berry and users say that acai is one of the best nutritious and versatile foods in the world. From the evening news to the talk shows, the fad is all about the acai berry.
For example, in the Oprah.com online community, the berry is described as the number one super food. And “American Curves” magazine says it is the Viagra of the Amazon. And the journal of “Agriculture and Food Chemistry” has said recently that the acai berry has the ability to be absorbed into the human body when consumed both as juice and pulp.

Do Resveratrol Supplements Do What They Say on the Tin?
Feb 5th
Resveratrol supplements have been talked about in all of the media of late. The reason for this is that the claim for these pills is that they can extend your life. The hype is talk of anti-aging, which conjures up images of wizards and magic wands, but what is the reality?
The core component of Resveratrol is a natural nutrient, found in the skin of the red grape, in blue berries, raspberries and most famously in the Japanese Knotweed, which is more widespread than its name suggests; found in the USA, Europe and the Far East. Studies have shown that this chemical helps the plants in which it is found to ward off infections, so it has attracted the attention of scientists.
So what is their conclusion?
Because Resveratrol is an antioxidant, tests have been carried out on it’s effectiveness to reduce plaque in the brain; a common cause of conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease. Resveratrol supplements have also been shown to have an affect on weight loss, because the compound has an adverse effect on calorie intake.
Some research suggests that Resveratrol supplements need to be taken in high dosages to have a noticeable effect. I would argue that Resveratrol would have a better effect as part of a specific health plan as a dietary aid, rather than as a panacea for all of your ills. Time will tell if further research discovers more about this substance, but because it is a natural nutrient, I don’t think you will do any harm by taking the supplement in the recommended doses.
Because of all of the hoo ha surrounding it, Resveratrol has found it’s way all over the web. You need to take care to ensure that you obtain the genuine article, and not a bogus product, which does not contain any Resveratrol, despite what you are told.
