Has anyone tried the Acai berry juice in their weight loss plan? I purchased a bottle at the health food store today. I bought it for its high antioxident levels but when I researched it I found that it also aides in weight loss. Just curious if anyone else has tried it and what results if any was achieved.

I am now on my second bottle. I have an ounce morning and night. I am losing weight but I am also working out and doing weight watchers. I am taking it for its health benefit. I have noticed my skin looks great and I have had people telling me I look refreshed? Acai berry?? who knows but it makes me feel good:)

I was researching acai one day and decided to order a bottle at http://www.top5acai.com. I can't say it did a lot for my weight, but it did make me feel good.

Hi CC. I too am interested in the benefits of acai. I have purchased some soft gels and am starting to take them today. I have also tried the monovie juice a couple of times. I haven't been on anything long term, but I love the research that has come out about the berry itself. From what I've read, the antioxidants are through the roof and are being linked to cancer prevention. That was my main intent behind incorporating it into my diet. But if it helps with weight loss, all the better.

it did not help me any with weight loss none what so ever.. I even did it with the colon cleanse and nothing...

Where did you buy the juice at? Is there a brand name for it?

I have been taking the gel caps, I have more energy when I take them, and have noticed a big change in the softness and sleekness of my hair,

Since the berry is very bitter, I opted to take the capsules instead. So far, I'm really liking them.

Here's a link. Very inexpensive too.

I have been taking the supplement about 8 weeks now. I originally started with one but it was very expensive. I switched to a brand at Walmart, and I felt no difference. Then I went to Acaiberry site online.com and found one that is freeze dried immediately and have been on that for a week. I do feel a difference health wise. Weight wise for me, it is hard to tell because I have been on Weight Watchers and exercising. It is supposed to have great benefits overall.
