by cashlash on November 13, 2009

acai berry treeThe Acai berry is an amazing fruit and has great nutritional value. The desire to lose excess weight and be healthy is universal amongst men and women. Who does not wish to look good and be fighting fit? The desire is as natural as evolution which assure the advancement of the fittest species.

Another desire is greed and the desire to get rich quick by making money through scams. That’s why one desire tends to prey on the other and many acai scams are born. Here’s what you should know to avoid getting scammed by con artists.

Tip No 1

Check the ingredients in the health supplement.

Many pills mention that they have Acai Berry extract  in them, but this is usually a very small quantity. In fact some of them have such little Acai powder in them that they don’t have any positive effect on the human body.

Tip No 2

FDA Approval.

I’m sure you don’t buy any drugs which do not have the FDA approval, so why should your acai berry pills be any different? Make sure that the company you are buying from is approved by the FDA for the specific acai berry product that you intent to use.

Tip No 3

Research before you buy anything.

Before you buy anything make sure that you do your homework. Check for positive reviews from actual users. Don’t believe every testimonial on the website that is selling the product.

Tip No 4

Shipping is extra.

A fact that many sites don’t bother mentioning when quoting low rates for their Acai berry products is that the shipping is going to cost you extra. So make sure you know just how much the exact shipping costs are before you hand over your credit card details.

Tip No 5

Know the benefits.

Don’t expect a wonder cure for diabetes or expect to drop the excess pounds in a week. The Acai Berry is a super fruit, but not a miracle worker. To loose weight you will have to work harder than merely pop a pill.

Tip No 6

Pills, Powder, Juice or Pulp?

If you are looking to get the maximum benefits out of the Acai berry extract you need to consider the nutritional value of the products available in the market. The choice is difficult and probably needs professional inputs from your nutritionist to see which is best for you.

Tip No 7

Don’t trust anyones opinion.

Each person is built differently. The way your body reacts to exercise is not the way your neighbor’s will react. Same with food and health supplements. What suits you may not suit your best friend. So don’t go on hearsay try it out for yourself before you make up your mind.

Angelina Jolie: Acai Berry Fan

by cashlash on November 11, 2009

Angelina JolieThe Acai Berry has many fans and perhaps its most famous one is Angelina Jolie. There is no denying the popularity of the Actress Mom who has come back into shape after each of her deliveries. So its natural for other moms who are dying to lose that extra weight, to wonder just what is her secret?

Well, it is believed that Angelina Jolie has a lot to thank a small purple colored fruit that we know as the Acai Berry. This import from the Amazon rain forests is supposed to have helped her dump her excess post baby delivery fat in record time. So if the Acai Berry pulp is so potent would it not help others as well?

Angelina’s Acai Berry Choice

A whole lot of advertisers have been claiming that she uses Acai Berry pills or juices or whatever, however officially she does not endorse any Acai Berry product. So what is the acai berry based product that Angelina Jolie uses? Only those really close to her will know. However is it true that she does think that the Acai Berry health products have helped her lose weight.

From her responses to questions in interviews one would assume so. It is also believed that she used the Acai berry diet to loose weight after her twins were born. A fact that many Acai berry related health product advertisers are harping on to draw in more sales. Given that Angelina Jolie is an actress who would need to get back into shape instantly after child birth, it would be more than a single measure that she would take to lose weight.

It is hardly likely that all she did was eat an Acai berry pill and drink a few glasses of Acai Pulp juice to lose weight. She would have had a structured exercise cum diet routine drawn up by a professional. A personal trainer must have helped set her pace during exercise routines and the whole schedule must have been very strict. That is the only way that she could have got back in shape so soon after delivering twins.

At the same time there is no denying that a special diet must have also been formulated to aid the metabolism and calorie burning. So it is quite possible that she may have added extract of the Acai berry to her dietary intake as well. Just how much and exactly what Angelina Jolie used of the Acai Berry is best known to her and her dietitians.
