Does Acai Berry REALLY Help You Lose Weight?

 The endorsement of Oprah and Rachel Ray has skyrocketed acai berry into the spotlight.  Every day, millions of spam 'acai berry' emails are sent all over the world...the big question is, "Does acai berry really work?"

Well, as most of you know, I sponsor a site called www.PersonalTrainYou.com. As such, I'm always doing reviews of different diets and programs that promise consumer success.  I'm currently re-reviewing P90X, as well as doing a review on Fat Loss for Idiots.  And I recently completed a review of acai berry. 

Now, bear in mind, when I tell you I've reviewed something - that means I've actually used it...no just read about it.  AND when I review something, I don't try and plug it, or sell it, or whatever...why?  Because I don't need to.  My reviews are no-nonsense truthful reviews that are designed only to inform.  I believe that people deserve to know the truth, and with so many programs offering affiliation for money, many people become blinded by the almighty dollar and fail to provide the public truthful answers. 

Because I myself have been 'suckered' a time or two, I've dedicated myself to bringing the truth to the masses - not because I've some heightened moral compass, but because, as a Christian woman, I know that the truth will set me, and hopefully you, free.

So - Does Acai Berry Really Work?

Yes and no...

I tried more than one acai berry product and found that QUALITY makes all the difference.  While we're all tempted to go cheap, buying cheap doesn't mean buying inferior. 

If you purchase a quality acai berry product (either online or from a health food store) you will reap the benefits of an increased energy level and a decreased appetite. 

On the other hand, if you use an inferior acai berry product, you'll be doing good to notice anything.

Now, here's the real deal - I peed like, a lot.  Really - much of the weight loss you'll experience with acai berry (at least over the short term) is water weight.  Over the long term, thanks to the appetite suppressant quality, you will lose weight a little easier.  Quality acai berry will also boost your immune system and help your body flush toxins, which is good. 

ONE PROBLEM YOU SHOULD PAY ATTENTION TO...if you're looking for some dramatic miracle (like many of the ads say), you won't find it...again, YOU WON'T FIND IT!  Acai perry is wonderful, it's beneficial, it CAN help you lose weight...but if you're not combining it with a sensible diet and moderate exercise, you're not going to get the results you're hoping for.

Many people who are severly overweight will lose quite a bit of weight in a short time...but as they get closer to a healthy weight, the weight loss slows down...

If you're already relatively fit, you'll notice that quality acai berry will help you get 'cut' a little faster...but you're not going to see 20 pounds in three weeks...

Which brings me to my next point..

"How do you know the difference between high quality and crappy acai berry?"

If the product's manufacturer makes unrealistic claims, stay away...if you feel you're paying too much, or conversely, too little - stay away...

There's no reason to pay hundreds of dollars for an acai berry product when you could actually EAT acai berries themselves every day for cheaper than that!  BUT you shouldn't fall victim to unlikely 'cheap' acai berry products either.  Those acai berry products that are dirt cheap are usually 'expired' or out of date - or they contain very little actual acai berry.

There are tons of offers out there, but you have to be careful...My favorite acai berry supplement costs me 34.99 for a one month supply.  I've tried a little of everything and I find that this cost is fair for a high quality but not rediculous acai berry product.

Does acai berry work - Yes...but it's not a miracle cure (as you could probably guess)...I do feel better and have noticed postive changes...but it's not liposuction in a bottle!
