This all started when my daughter Cassie called me one night crying over the phone that she wanted to leave college. She despartely wanted to go to Cancun for Spring Break but was too embarssed about how her waistline looked in a bathing suit. Since studying to be a doctor like her mom she gained a few extra pounds while hitting the books all night. I was torn inside, I didn't know what to do. The mother in me wanted to comfort her but the doctor in me wanted to fix the problem.

I called one of my colleagues in the nutrition field to find out what my daughter could do and she recommended a berry diet. She said a berry diet would cleanse and flush her system allowing her to shed those few extra pounds in a couple of weeks. She said the goji berry diet was ok but the Acai Berry diet was better and gave me a few clinical research articles on the benefits of a berry diet.

I rembered Dr. Oz mentioned the benefits of acai berry on the Oprah Winfrey Show, so it seemed like it might be a healthy diet for my daughter. I spent a few hours online researching almost every berry diet on the market and the acai berry definitely had the best overall benefits.

I searched online and found a Free Trial Offer and had it shipped next day delivery to my daughter. She received it next day with mixed emotions. She complained that she didn't have time to exercise and she didn't think it would work, so I made a deal with her.

I asked her to just try the berry diet for a couple of weeks because she had nothing to lose. After about two weeks my daughter called screaming! She tried on her bathing suit and it looked great! She could hardly believe it; I felt so good as a mother and a doctor.

Will it really help me lose weight?

Yes. Acai berry has also shown to be very effective in speeding up weight loss by itself. The weight loss primarily comes from the boost in metabolism found in acai berry. As a matter of fact, many world class athletes drink it while training because it's so loaded with nutrition and protein it can be a complete meal.

The weight loss power of acai berryi was found to be accelerated even more when combined with Garcinia cambogia extract, chromium polyniconate and Gymnema sylvestre extract. In one research study I found, acai combined with these ingredients caused 450% MORE WEIGHT LOSS than dieting and exercising alone.

The Conclusion...?

Based on my research, AcaiBurn was the most effective acai berry product I could find.  It has the purest acai of all the brands, most likely becuase it's processed very close to the source within 3 hours of being harvested. The average weight loss was 14.99 and 12.54 pounds with key ingredients (Garcinia cambogia extract, chromium polyniconate and Gymnema sylvestre extract) in AcaiBurn vs. just 3.06 and 3.53 pounds with a placebo in two 8-week clinical studies. Both groups dieted and exercised. That means the key ingredients in AcaiBurn were found to help cause up to 450% MORE WEIGHT LOSS than dieting and exercising alone will get you.

So, all in all acai berry users have noticed they look and feel better because of all these many benefits, and many people swear by it for good reason.  I felt confident that it was indeed a good choice and so advised my daughter.

There is one catch though...

Acai is a VERY fragile, perishable berry. So perishable, in fact, that once picked they can go bad within as little as 24 hours, which makes the idea of flying them in their original state to places like the US, Australia, Europle, UK, Canada etc...well, non-optimal at this point. So, the solution thus far has been to "process" the berries right there, at the source,
within hours of picking, using various methods to preserve their precious health as much as possible.

If properly sourced and processed, the same amazing effects apply to acai pills as the raw fruit.  However, not all Acai berry  products are created equal.  For the most potent Acai supplement, make sure your Acai is processed in the Amazon region right where the berries are harvested.

Acai berry is being hailed as a superfood and sold widely as a weight loss supplement.

Why are antioxidants so important?

In a nutshell, antioxidants are anti-aging. They protect human cells from oxidative damage, and this means staying younger longer with better health.

However, that's just the beginning.  Acai actually contains healthy fatty acids., normally found in foods such as salmon and flax seed. It also has a high protein content, and contains many of the compounds, amino acids, vitamins and minerals of other superfoods like blueberries and pomegranates, while having almost no sugars.  As a result acai has a low glycemic index (meaning that it's low in simple sugars that could spike your insulin levels and make you gain weight). And it has lots of fiber.

Is Acai Safe?

Acai has also been shown to be remarkably safe, with even pregnant and nursing mothers often consuming it to give them more strength and vitality (plus, those essential fatty acids, as with wild salmon, aren't too shabby for the developing brain of the baby as well as the mother). There are no known contraindications yet discovered.
