Do You Know the Best Diet Pills of 2024?
BACKGROUND
Just the mention of a product coming from the Amazon has the overtones of possessing mysterious health benefits. Acai (pronounced ah-sigh-ee) is the high-energy berry of a special Amazon palm tree. Its nutritional benefits are so powerful, Dr. Nicholas Perricone lists it as one of his top 10 Super Foods at Oprah's Web site.
Studies have shown that the Acai berry is one of the more nutritious and powerful foods on the planet. Harvested in the rainforests of Brazil, Acai tastes like a mix of berries and chocolate. Hidden within its purple pigment is what makes it the perfect energy fruit. Acai is packed full of antioxidants, amino acids and essential fatty acids. You probably won't find it in your local supermarket, but you may have better luck at health food stores, or from the many products springing up online.
The benefits of Acai are purported to be good for detoxing and maintaining optimal health for balancing your pH level. Proper pH balance is vital to our immune health and for disease prevention and correction. Other benefits you'll enjoy:
- Acai has a high concentration of antioxidants that combat premature aging. It has 10 times the antioxidants that red grapes have, and as much as 30 times the anthocyanins of red wine. Anthocyanins may have antioxidant effects, possibly fighting cancer, diabetes, and bacterial infections, to name a few.
- Healthy monounsaturated fats, dietary fiber and phytosterols together help promote cardiovascular and digestive health.
- An amino acid complex in conjunction with valuable trace minerals, help with muscular health.
PRO
- Research concludes that there appear to be significant benefits to Acai
- On Dr. Perricone's list of Super Foods
- Natural ingredients have disease-fighting qualities
- Increases energy
- Offers antioxidants and amino acids
- Good source of fiber
- Organic products available
- Many juices and other products available in major grocers
CON
- Like other exotic products, Acai can be pricey
- Many imposters
INGREDIENTS
Each Acai product will vary in its ingredients. Be sure to look for Acai products that are all-natural, and do not include a long list of other ingredients. Acai in its purest form is most effective.
Acai comes in many forms, including the whole berry, juices, powders, capsules and pills, food items and more.
EXERCISE
Like any weight loss product, you should commit to a consistent exercise regimen. Be sure to look for Acai products that support a balanced and active lifestyle.
CONCLUSION
Exotic health foods, like the Acai berry, can provide untapped health benefits, if you can afford it. For whatever reason, these organic products are often on the steep side. But what else is more important than your health? If you can find room in your budget, a product like Acai is worth exploring.

+this diet worked GREAT for me.. The first couple days were tough but I continued to eat healthy and work out everyday. I lost 20 pounds and I feel amazing. Its up to you how much weight you lose by how much effort you put into this diet to get the results you are looking for!

posted Feb 8th, 2010 5:35 amI'm reviewing their ad practices rather than the product itself
since I saw several obvious deceptions and offensive promotional practices I decided that such a company cannot be trusted for any of their claims
For one thing, the photo for �??Julia Miller�?� is a total fraud �?? that is a photo of prominent French TV journalist Melissa Theurieau! So this �??Julia Miller�?� character is a fraud and probably just a write-up from some marketing type. Do they really think that no one at all recognizes Melissa T.??? I guess they are counting on the ad only being viewed in the USA, but she is in lots of videos on YouTube and there is no doubt that is her photo.
Then there was the obnoxious message that tried to keep me on their page when I sought to leave their website�?�.. I detest that kind of crap. If I want to click away, do not try to hinder me, thank you.
As noted by others, this product seems exceptionally expensive compared to rival products. There seems to be no good reason I can see to pay the $79.95 per month.
Then of course the toll-free number for cancellation is quite dubious if that is the ONLY way to cancel an account. Someone noted spending HOURS trying to cancel. I distrust all these �??monthly�?� plans - if the product were really as great as advertised, why would the need to try to keep you on a tight leash? It should be easy to get and easy to get AWAY from it as you choose.
No thanks, not for me!

Acaci can be purchased in pure form and I'm sure it has better benefits than some.

I did the cleanse, bought at walmart for about $10,,worked great, lost about 5 lbs. I just started the acai diet today, I think you definatly have to exercise or keep busy after taking it, or you'll feel a bit jittery. I think it's a good product, but I wouldn't get the free trial offer,,have seen many people getting charged b/c of hidden cost etc.

+i bought nature's bounty acai for $10 at cvs and i took one pill in the morning before breakfast and one before lunch or dinner. At first it makes you sick so dont leave the house your gonna need a bathroom. Start taking it on a weekend, so you get used to it. But this pill doesnt work very long. I lost 15 pounds while i was dieting. It only works for about a month or so then you don't see any results.

+I just started the Acai trim Diet aid for $10.00 from walmart starting today. Was leary of the ongoing shipping,on these frree deals on internet. This supplement is made byNatures organics. It says it super concentrated, 5:1 extract of concentrated acai and green tea 1900 oracs, approx.45% so 500mg of acai every 2 tabs taken once or twice a day. I'll let you know in a week if its helped me lose weight. I've lost 10 pounds on my own in 2 weeks by exercise ans cutting at least 250 cals a day w-my 30 min. of cardio 2-4 times weekly. Anyone else had results with this exact product?

-SCAM!!!!!!!!!
posted Jan 6th, 2010 9:29 pmi ordered it from the internet...After i was charged 160$ (and of course couldn't get my money back) I just called my bank about stolen card. this way this "company" didn't have aces to my account anymore (otherwise i'm sure they would steal a lot more).
DO NOT EVER GIVE THEM YOUR CREDIT CARD INFO!!!!

I was very interested and about the free trial for the acai berry so continued through the form however when it came to paying it said that it had been unsuccesful, i am very releived now after reading the aboive reveiws, however i am very worried that it may still go out my bank account, can anyone help?

umm yeah. for all of you that say it's a scam... it's not jeeze! you have to READ the fine print before you pay for shipping. I just ordered my 14 day trail after I read all the details about canceling before day 14 hits. I called the number and spoke to a lady there who was extremely nice and helpful. then again, i probably ordered from a different website. the number they gave me was 954-237-2690. all you have to do is call press 2 and 2 again to speak to someone. c'mon people... take the time of day to read before you buy something online

You can buy acai trim at wal mart for like $12 and its all natural. DO NOT EVER GO THROUGH ACAI BURN, they have a lot of hidden things in their subscription and charge you 80 dollars twice a month some times more. I have been taking the acai trim for about 3 weeks now and im definitely more awake,responsive, feel better and lost 15 lbs, but the weight loss like stated above needs to have exercise involved you cant just take the pills and eat crap and not do anything. It does live up to the hype about it. So if you do want the best versions out there go to your local wal mart or gnc, both being inexpensive and work.

I have an all natural weight loss product that I sell. My dad has lost over 70 pounds on it and many other have lost as well. You can check out my website for more details.

My bad, my sister told them that she read it made you feel tired all day, not full. And then the person came back with sniping that she was lying and she never read any reviews.
posted Dec 8th, 2009 12:17 pmKat
My sister partially filled out the form on their website for the acai berry diet. She never hit submit. But then she read bad reviews on it and closed the page. She then got a phone call from someone from the acai berry diet website and asked her why she didn't complete the form. So evidently they use their systems to either hack into users computers or watch their website when people enter data, I'm not sure. If you put in your information and never hit submit, they will get your information. Not sure if that is legal. But ok. So my sister says she heard bad reviews so she decided not to try it. The lady snapped back "You're lying" and said it's all natural and she's lying about reading reviews. My sister was being nice and said that that's what she read and she read it doesn't make you lose weight. Once again the lady continued snapping back with "you're lying" over and over again. My sister then said, "Well maybe I can research it more and call back and maybe give it a try." And the lady on the phone said "Never mind, just forget about it." And hung up on her.

+I liked the product, but the 14 day trial period is misleading, since the trial period starts the day the order is placed and on the day we receive it.
posted Dec 4th, 2009 3:28 pmIt took me 25 days to receive the order.
The 14 day trial was already over, at +$93.00 shippng included is a ripp off. I was automaticly placed on auto ship, and I did not even recive the second shipment as of this day Nov 4 2009. Original order June 6 2009

+I am taking the Acai berry for about 15 days. It does taste horrible but is worth the benefits. I�??ve very good experience with Acai Berry. After, trying this I have more energy and feel �??better�?� inside. Also, I�??ve dropped a few pounds.
