How to Use Acai Berry for Weight Loss

I learned of a new superfood called Acai Berry that is used for weight loss. Since I'm always wary of big weight loss claims made by certain companies, I decided to do some research before I actually jumped on board.

The verdict? I've discovered that Acai Berry is filled with vitamins and minerals that can aid in weight loss, building muscle and increasing overall energy—and is rich in antioxidants, fatty acids, fiber and other plant compounds that can increase your health.

I don't believe that Acai Berries hold a "magic key" that will help you lose weight, but it will help make your body healthy. When your body is healthy and well-balanced, it will be easier to reach your perfect weight.

Here are ways to reap the benefits from Acai Berries.

From Quick Guide: Acai Berry Diet
Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Fresh, Dried or Frozen Acai Berries
  • Acai Berry Liquid Supplement
  • Acai Berry Capsules
  1. Step 1

    If you have a health store near you, you can purchase fresh, frozen or dried Acai Berries if you can find them. Or you can purchase them in this form online. Since it is a nutrient-rich food, you can cook with it and add it to your favorite recipes. It works well as a cereal topping, in granola, smoothies, yogurt, on low-fat ice cream and in things like muffins and cookies (as long as they're low fat!).

  2. Step 2

    You can also find Acai in the form of a liquid extract. The benefit of taking Acai in this form is that the nutrients will be super concentrated. Also, if you live in a climate where Acai Berries don't grow, this can be a good way to get it as fresh and concentrated as possible.

  3. Step 3

    If you want, you can also take Acai in capsule form. Capsules are good if you want to take Acai as easily as possible and still receive the benefits. If you make it a part of your daily vitamin and mineral regimen it will be easier to take it consistently.

Tips & Warnings
  • Follow a healthy diet and exercise in order to use Acai for weight loss in the most beneficial way.
  • Contact your doctor to make sure it's OK for you to take Acai.

on 6/28/2009 I came across free trial programs for the Acai Berry Diet and Colon Cleanse. It was very easy to order and free to try! And, I have to say it has worked great for me, I lost nearly all the weight I gained after having children and I have tons of energy. I wrote a blog about my weight loss story along with links to the free trials I used. You can check it out here: http://loseweightwithacaiberrydiet.blogspot.com/ Best of luck to everyone!

on 6/24/2009 rco20, you need to stop saying that acai is a scam....because not all of it is a scam...many ppl have gotten really good results from this products, including me. I've been taking it for three weeks and have lost approx. 3 inches of my stomach....many ppl are really desperate to lose weight and you saying that all of it is a scam is not really helping them....so please...if the products did not work for you, then just say it did not work for you...not all products are gonna work for everyone....no plz keep ur negativity to urself

on 5/18/2009 I am currently using an Acai berry product that I ordered online from an American based website. I decided to use their free 14 day trail. The only cost was for $4.95 delivery. So far the exercise has cost me $58 and I had to cancel my credit card. Anyway, as for the product, I've been using the pills now for one week and have noticed a reduction in my waste from 51 inch's to 50 and a half inch's. When I take a pill I notice my heart rate increases, I sweet and I feel energetic, a bit like speed i guess but with all the nutrients and vitamins. lol So I'll keep you posted over the next two weeks as to how well the product is working for me.
