1
Research the health benefits of acai berries. Like grapes, they are rich in antioxidants that can help protect you from cancer. However, they will not make you lose weight with no other effort, or at least, not much. Start your acai berry diet with the understanding that acai is not a magic cure-all, and that it should be included as part of a healthy diet plan.

2
Obtain juice and supplements for your acai berry diet. Avoid drinks touted as acai berry diet aids but that have low amounts of actual acai berry. Avoid those with added sugar or flavors. Look for 100% acai juice and powder or pills from acai with nothing added.

Create an acai berry diet plan that fits your lifestyle. For example, if you are more sedentary, your plan will need to include a lower caloric intake. If you are more active, you can concentrate on exercise and acai supplements and not have to cut as many calories.

Take acai supplements in the morning, either as pills or powder mixed in juice or shakes. Drink acai juice in between meals and instead of soda. Eliminate processed foods and sugary drinks and desserts form your diet, using acai juice instead.

5
Track your acai berry diet progress. Record your daily acai juice intake and weight yourself weekly. Celebrate progress with a extra lap around the pool, or more acai juice.
