Is Acai Berry any good (read discription).?
Hi, I am currently over-weight.. and fifteen…
I know products shouldn’t be the way to do it..
but Acai has other benifits that i want to.(healthy hair, and strong nails, good skin)
I have been researching, and I won’t be buying online, theres a nutriton house around my house, and i wish to purchase it from there.
I want to know if the store-bought products actually work, because i will not fall for stupid internet scams, like "free stuff"
I also know, acai doesnt just get rid of the fat, it boosts engery and matoblism, and i just really need an engery boost to get started, and i generally walk a lot too.
I was planning on getting the mixed pill of; Acai + Green Tea.
Should i go with this or a different kind, which works best?
The claims you read online about the Acai berry are bogus. They have been heavily marketing the berry through ‘word of mouth’ there is no scientific evidence that using the berries as part of your diet will help you loose any more weight than through diet alone.
Nothing will do that.
It is all about calorie control. If there was some magical berry that would make you lose weight without regard to what you are eating, someone would have patented it and made it into a prescription medicine.
The Acai berry *does* have a good amount of antioxidants, most berrys do. But it will not cause you to lose weight, make your hair, nails or skin any better than they are now.
Sadly, you have fallen for a very old trick. As you get older, you will get better at spotting these kind of scams. They did the same thing with Folic Acid, Amino Acids, Selenium, Chromium Picolonate, Ephedra, Grapefuit, Garlic, Cabbage and a long list of other "miracle" foods. It has been going on since people figured out a way to make money by selling things with bogus claims.
Don’t fall for it. The only way to lose weight is to reduce the amount of calories you are eating, and increase activity. There is nothing else that will do it for you.
I fell for things like this, too, when I was 15 and older. So please, take my advice, save yourself the money and disappointment and learn more about nutrition.
Best of luck.

No. Channel 5 News did a special report on Acai Berry pills/drinks/etc. recently. It’s all totally bogus; sometimes it can even make you gain weight.
On their website, when it asks for your info to see if you actually need it, they (LIVE) put in that the woman was seven feet tall, weighed fifty pounds, and wanted to lose twenty. It said she was the perfect candidate.
