Has anyone used the Acai Diet without Colon cleanse?
Apr 18th
I have struggled with my weight my whole life and I am looking for a way to lose weight. I am interested in the benefits I have seen associated with the Acai Diet, however every personal story includes colon cleansing. As a student I don’t have time to be running back and forth to the restroom so I don’t want to use the Colon Cleanse product at this point in time. However, I am interested in the Acai products out there and was wondering what kind of results people were seeing when using JUST ACAI. Anyone out there like me???
I belong to a gym and am just looking for a little boost. The health benefits are good and was just curious if the weight loss benefits are real too. There are enough free trials out there that make this a very cheap boost.

Benefits of Acai Berry
Apr 7th
If you follow diet and health trends, you may have heard of the acai berry. These berries are grown in the Amazon and have a number of different benefits. If you’re looking for a great new addition to your meals that is not only tasty but also very healthy, you may want to pick up some products containing acai berries.
But what benefits do these berries actually give? Well, they are high in antioxidants for one. This means eating products containing acai berries extract regularly may help your body fight off diseases and stay healthier. Antioxidants can also improve your eyesight and regulate your cholesterol. Studies show that acai pulp actually have nearly thirty times the amount of antioxidants found in red wine, and almost ten times the antioxidants found in grapes. Replacing red grapes with acai berries is all it takes to greatly increase your antioxidant intake.
Acai berries also contain monounsaturated oleic acid. This acid helps make cell membranes more supple, which increases their functions. This type of acid is only found in a few types of food, most notably olive oil. Since most people do not use olive oil regularly, acai berries may be one of the few sources for oleic acid.
Acai berries are also very high in fiber-the fiber content is more than 40% of the entire fruit’s mass. Few other fruits are as rich in fiber as the acai berry. Many people do not get the amount of fiber they need in their diets, so again, the acai berry makes a great addition to a meal.
Finally, eating acai berries can provide a burst of energy. This energy boost is much better for your body than drinking caffeinated beverages and has none of the side effects that caffeine can cause. Instead of reaching for the coffee pot in the morning, you can add a side of acai berries to your usual breakfast for that pick-me-up many need before going to work.
These are just a few of the amazing benefits the acai berry offers. Even though nutritionists have only recently begun studying the berries, they’ve found their properties to be simply amazing. If you add acai berry products to your diet, you’ll no doubt see exactly why so many people are astounded by these little pieces of fruit.

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.

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.
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.
