Like most of you, I am still searching for a way to lose weight without having to do all that work it seems to take. After all, we can now get vaccines for just about every known virus, can prevent cancer in some cases, and even have treatments done to make us look years younger in a matter of minutes.
That is the exact sentiment that many smart marketers play upon when trying to sell us of the next wonder weight loss fix. These days, all the talk seems to be about Acai, a “super food” found in the Acai Palm plants in the rain forests of Brazil. More recently, Acai was featured on Oprah and CBS, but can it really help you lose weight?
Acai reviewed recently on CBS News:
"Food For Your Heart! Acai berry is among the most nutritious foods, containing more polyphenol antioxidants than green tea, blueberries, cranberries and red wine."
"Has anyone actually lost weight using Acai?"
"The before and after pictures are just slightly two weeks apart and dont show the final end picture." Source: Marjorie Jackson, Seneca, SC.
I contacted one of the more popular providers of Acai supplements, the makers of Acai Berry Detox. Of course, they advised me that thousands of "happy customers" have already benefitted. I insisted on getting a phone number of someone "real" that I could speak to. To my surprise, the provided several names. I picked several at random. I was most impressed by the story from Marjorie Jackson. She not only lost weight, but claimed to feel better and now has a more positive outlook on life. I asked her for a before and after photo, and she actually emailed me one!
"Having tried similar "claims of great results" but never seeing them for myself, I was rather skeptical (trying a free trial of Acai Berry Detox Ultimate Fat Burner)" says Jackson. But it only took a few days before Marjorie was feeling the effect. "after taking just one caplet at lunch and one at dinner, I really was feeling more energized.. and would wake up ready to take on the world", Marjorie added.
Impressive, but I had to ask, are you really losing weight due to the pills, or are you on some kind of super exercise plan? Marjorie replied very matter of fact, "And the best part is that I am losing weight – a little more 10 pounds to date."
So there you have it, a story that actually lived up to the hype.

Acai (pronounced ( ah-sigh-EE ) is a fruit that grows on the Acai Palm Trees in the Amazon Rainforest of Brazil. The Acai berry is small in size and is dark purple in color. Acai is mostly seed, covered in a small amount of pulp.
While Acai may be small in size, it packs a nutritional punch unlike any other food in the world.
Higher Anti-Oxidants than
Pomegranate and Green Tea
Dr. Susanne Talcott, assistant professor with the Texas A&M University’s nutrition and food science department, found that acai antioxidants are absorbed in the human body.
So its apparent that the fruit has some staying power, but can it really be absorbed by humans not living off the land in remote brazil?
In the first research involving people, the acai (ah-sigh-EE) berry has proven its ability to be absorbed in the human body when consumed both as juice and pulp. That finding, by a team of Texas AgriLife Research scientists, was published in a recent issue of the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.
Showing the berrys absorption in humans is important because it is known to contain numerous antioxidants. The berry is heavily marketed in the U.S. as a health food. The study involved 12 healthy volunteers who consumed a single serving of acai juice or pulp. Researchers believe the results point to the need for continued research on the berry which is commonly used in juices, beverages, smoothies, frozen treats and dietary supplements.
