How to do an Acai Berry Cleanse

Acai berries are a powerful antioxidant

Acai berries are a powerful antioxidant that will make you healthier by helping you lose weight, prevent cancer and by eliminating free radicals in your body. An acai berry cleanse simply involves taking the right amount of berries in place of regular foods in your diet. At the end of an acai berry cleanse you'll feel refreshed, energetic and healthy.

Things You'll Need

• Acai berries

Instructions

1. - Decide how long your acai berry cleanse will be
   It's recommended that you do a cleanse for one to two weeks. The longer you make the acai berry cleanse, the more detoxified your body will be. However, doing a cleanse for a long period of time takes discipline and fortitude.

2. -Decide how intense your acai berry cleanse will be
   Some dieters will compose their diet of 75% acai berries for a week in an extreme effort to lose weight fast. While this is effective, it's not healthy. You need proper nutrition, even during a cleanse. Make your acai intake somewhere between 25 and 50 percent of diet, depending on how intense you want to go.

3. -Get acai berries
   You can buy acai berries whole, as a juice or in supplement form.

4. -Start the acai berry cleanse
   You'll want to start taking acai berries and record how you feel physically. Because of the high fiber content in the berries, if you take too many you will get diarrhea. If this happens, simply cut back on your intake and continue the cleanse.

Tips & Warnings

• Always consult your doctor or nutritionist if you're unsure about how many acai berries to take during an acai berry cleanse.

• Beware of acai berry supplements that contain other ingredients beside acai berries.
