Acai Berry??

[katluvr]

Found a "free trail" on line and I guess this has been talked about on Rachel Ray and Oprah.
Thing is...I just cut out wine for about 2 weeks and really watching what I eat and keeping up w/ my running/biking.
But it is always so slow....anyone using this and finding it "helps"?
I try and do the right thing...burn more calories than take in...but it is always a struggle and SLOW!

Oh--now I found the fine print...if I "like" it charges me almost $100!

Just curious anyway!

You can find this juice in most any organic food store. It is very expensive.
Just eat lots of blueberries and other colorful things, it's a whole lot cheaper

I recently read about the acai berry too and got to looking around. Found v-8 fusion that has acai berri, blueberries and other stuffs in it. Probably not enough acai to make a difference but it tastes good and I haven't had a coke in a week.

So the acai cuts the desire for sugar/sweets?

I saw the "free" bottle (tablets) too, paid the shipping and got it yesterday and left for the weekend so I haven't started taking it yet, but this thread is apparently timely. I will check my "fine print" and make a decision before my time is up, but would be interested if there is anymore discussion on this.

You suppose if Acai berry worked, Oprah would be using it (and, she wouldn't be back to 200 lbs)?

Wouldn't it make more sense to eat fruits and veggies in their natural state (although maybe frozen) grown HERE, than some pill or extract thingy grown way over there? I mean if you lived in Brazil, like Tulip did, then having an acai berry smoothy made sense, having a blueberry one probably didn't.

So, I'll wander off to the kitchen to put some blueberries on my yogurt for a mid morning snack and get writing on my dang club annual report. And brew another pot-o-coffee....

OK, one other idle thought. Back in college, my swim coach said there's only one exercise to guarantee weight loss - the push-away. "Push yourself away from the table." I think we 'A-mur-i-Kans are a lazy bunch. We want to take some pill for weight loss, instead of being responsible for what we eat and drink, and not get enough exercise. Or rather we still eat like we have to go plow the back 40 with a mule, but we're 3 generations removed from farming stock.
