If you've tried everything but you still can't take off those pounds, you NEED to try the proven slimming power of açai berries! These all-natural fruits from the jungles of Peru and Brazil will help you cut down that weight quickly and easily.

Understanding Açai: Why Do They Help Me Lose Weight So Fast? - They're not a magic potion or a silver bullet. Açai berries cut your fat because they contain a combination of powerful amino acids - the building blocks of protein - plus vitamins and antioxidants. This natural combo kickstarts your metabolism.

Realistic Ways to Make Açai Part of Your Life

Hold the Sugar When You Exerise - Cut out the Gatorade at the track. Instead, bring an infusion of organic green tea, honey, açai juice, and a teaspoon of salt. Throw in some starfruit and aloe vera juice for a drink that will keep your legs pumping!

Better Than Coffee - At work, scoot right past the coffee pot. Mix yourself a cup of hot black tea. Stir in a teaspoon of açai juice, three drops of fresh lemon, and a packet of Splenda. This will keep you alert and help cut the craving for sugary coffees.

For Snack Attacks - There are lots of widely available açai berry snacks. Keep some of them in your office for when the munchies hit. (Be careful, though! Check the label to make sure they're not heavy on sugars and fats.)

Part of a Healthy Diet - Sprinkle some açai berries on your salad at lunch. Sound unappetizing? Mix them half and half with roasted pine nuts and your palate will barely notice them.

You'll Barely Notice - Look for ways to include açai in your daily life. Sprinkle some açai powder on your cereal in the morning. Pop a pill before you head off to study with friends. You'll find that it increases alertness better than a double espresso from Starbucks!

Work Up a Sweat! - Come up with an exercise regimen that works for you. Consult a nutritionist or your doctor and come up with an easy-to-follow, ironclad list of steps you need to take to lose those pounds. If you don't mark it down, you won't follow it. Have them show you where açai will fit best into your plan.

Stick To Your Guns -  Lots of people try açai for a couple days, notice no difference, and stick it up on the shelf with their other pills, potions, and powders. But don't waste your money. Used wisely and consistently, açai is a potent tool in your arsenal against weight.

Some Quick Bits And Pieces:

• Açai berries have a pungent taste. But don't worry - lots of people actually come to enjoy their cinnamony, dusky flavor!
• You should notice an immediate increase in energy.
• Don't think that açai berries alone will make you lose a lot of weight. They help give you the energy you need, in combination with a sensible diet and exercise.
