Acai Berry and Products

I've heard several stories and read many testimonials to the acai berry drinking acai juice or taking acai tablets. I've drunk acai juice and didn't notice anything. I've heard that it curbs your appetite, gives you energy and helps in taking off weight. Are any of these claims true? I signed up to get free tablets, but since I didn't join the club selling the tablets, I didn't get them. Has anyone had success with any of the acai products?

Isn't amazing to those who have been doing this long enough how easily it is to pick the trends of the next 'hot item' promised to provide miracles?

I tried Acai juice about a year ago. It did nothing. Then I tried a good diet and good exercise and what do you know? I lost the weight. Must have been the berries took a while to kick in.

I have a cousin who lives in San Diego who gets fresh Acai berries. He eats them because he likes it, but with no boost of energy or anything. It's just another berry that is food.

The only thing I thought when I saw the ads for that was, "Oh...a fruit I had no idea existed." Isn't the whole thing behind it that it's a good antioxidant? If that's all it is, go get some blueberries for less money.

You could waste your time and money..
Or you could just eat right and exercise to get real results.

There was an add for Acai Berry using before/after pics that were stolen off the web...
If the results were real they wouldn't need to steal pics from someone who lost weight the right way...

Just my 2 cents.

You know what? I actually just saw an ad for a site promoting it and was wondering why the girl in the picture looked so familiar. She's on this site, I just don't know her name.

yeah, didn't you know?
They come from the skinny berry bush that have this special ingredient that actually absorbes all the other calories and fat that you've eaten that day.
Once it's sucked all those up it moves on to your stored body fat and soon you will look just like Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie!! It even add's extra muscle in to all the right spots!
It's amazing...

Bad publicity is not good publicity in my experience.

I heard putting the Acai berries where the sun don't shine after a colon cleanse leads to 34.7763% better gains.

Have you heard this?
