Acai Berry for weight loss

Re: Acai Berry for weight loss

All I know about the acai berry is that it is very high in antioxidents which are very good for you. I have no idea abut the weight loss aspect of it though. I would be interested in hearing if anyone has tried this as well!

Re: Acai Berry for weight loss

I have the juice. I feel great when I take it. No weight loss that I noticed but I was focused and had alot of energy, not jittery energy. I was less bloated too. I recomend it but not for weight loss just for the overall feel of being able to get through my day without being exauseted!

Re: Acai Berry for weight loss

OK here is my two cents worth on this subject

Jerry and I are distributors for Mona Vie (which has the acai berry in it). DOes it help with weight loss? Some people says it does, for some it does not. I will admit though that the juice we promote is not meant for weight loss, its a functional health beverage. Our juice not only has acai but also has 18 other fruits and berries. So you end up eating better in the sense that you are getting your full daily servings of fruits and veggies that pretty much NO ONE gets (who can afford to buy enough to eat 10 servings a day?).

The power of Acai is phenomenal. Oprah has talked about it, Dr Oz has talked about it, as well as Rachel Ray and many others.

The berry is full of anti oxidants. FOr the longest time the Cranberry had the highest ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbant Capacity)--anti oxidant-- of any other food at around 97. The Acai berry blows it out of the water sitting at higher than 1000.

Everything around us creates the free radicals in our bodies that affect our health, and age our bodies. Free radicals attack soft tissues (i.e. eyes, skins and other organs). When you eat a healthy diet high in anti oxidants, the anti oxidants wrap themselves around the free radicals and your body flushes them out.

I think that is where these "diets" with the Acai comes in because of the super high ORAC score. The higher the ORAC the more you are going to get rid of....I feel though, that if you are going to flush out the bad stuff you also need to make sure you are taking in a bunch of good stuff. When you get your full serving of fruits and veggies in a day, then your body is going to naturally begin to heal itself and become more balanced.

Re: Acai Berry for weight loss

That is the stuff I use, I am pretty sure. I get it through a girl at work, her sister gets its and has cases of it so I am assuming she must be a distributer also.

Re: Acai Berry for weight loss

I dunno if it does or not. I hear about it all the time though.

I just started on the Alli program. We'll see how that works.

Re: Acai Berry for weight loss

eeewwwwww! My girlfriend took Ali and said that her ass leaked stinky stuff! Seriously!

Re: Acai Berry for weight loss

Hey! We can say ass and not have it bleeped out-kewl!

Re: Acai Berry for weight loss

That is the case with a lot of the fat burners Krista ... I like how the commericials call it an "oily discharge".

Can you get this Acai juice in stores or is it only mail order right now? I'm not looking to lose weight but I'm in the process of quitting smoking and am all about antioxidants right now.

Re: Acai Berry for weight loss

Shell says its an orange greasy discharge I mean, I wanna lose weight but I don't think that I could handle something like that coming out of my ass! LOL!

Re: Acai Berry for weight loss

Its not in stores....but I can give you the link to my website and you can always order it from there. The nice thing with Mona Vie is that it is all natural. The other great thing is that you can sign up as a distributor for only $39..you make that back within the first 2 cases that you buy because of the money you save

Re: Acai Berry for weight loss

My friends sister buys it buy the case load. If we can get 4 of us then its 25/bottle or 30 if we cant. I drink 2 ozs every am and the bottle lasts a month.

Re: Acai Berry for weight loss

No caffine.

So far I haven't had any discharge, but I have noticed more gas, and it is pretty foul. What makes the 'oily discharge' is because of the way the drug works. It binds together fat that your body doesn't need and gets rid of it. So you could have that discharge, or increased, softer, more frequent bowel movements. The more fatty foods you eat, the worse it is. I've been doing good all week and I haven't had it at all.

I'm almost afraid to splurge and eat something greasy in fear that my butt will start leakin!

Re: Acai Berry for weight loss

Remind me to never take that stuff! i have enough problems with that kind of thing since they took out my gallbladder. I take that stuff and no one will want to be around me - including me!

Re: Acai Berry for weight loss

Yes, Acai does wonders, I've been drinking a Acai Drink called Mona Vie which has 18 other fruits besides Acai and I'm more healthier than ever. It's giving me a lot of energy to work out, Lowered my cholesterol, I lost weight, I had minor back pains ,bad cough which I don't get any longer. I've liked the drink so much I become a distributor so I can get it for wholesale pricing instead of retail. So I save a lot of $. I wish everyone could drink it and I try to tell people about it in this forum but advertising isn't allowed. I can see why since there are so many garbage health products that don't work and this great forum would just get flooded with it.
