Acai Berry Weight Loss

Hey moms!! Quick question...I am sure you have all seen the ads all over the internet about moms losing weight with the Acai Berry and Natra Pure stuff. Has anyone tried it? Does it actually work? I have a friend who is thinking about using them...but it just makes me nervous!!! What are your opinions on them?

What can I do next?

Thanks!

The only thing that has ever worked for me is eating less and exercising more. Everything else I have tried has been a waste of money!

Please be aware that there are a lot of Acai Berry scams on the internet right now. Make sure your friend reads the terms of agreement before she purchases anything online. I got what I thought was a free trial bottle of Acai Berry supplement and although they say it is a free 15 day trial they send you a 30 day supply. As soon as you get the bottle you have to immediately cancel your order or you're going to get charged $90 plus they automatically enroll you in some "Fit club" and that club bills you $29.99 per month so you're paying about $120 per month for something right off the bat that you're not sure will work because you haven't taken it long enough to see. Go to GNC and buy it. They will have Acai berry there and it doesn't cost near what it will cost your bank account by ordering it online. Acai Berry has a lot of benefits if taken properly. No pill will guarantee weight loss unless you are taking other steps in addition to taking it like, eating healthier and excercising. So take my advice and BEWARE of the online ACAI Berry Scams.

I have and I didn't see any weightloss....I take the juice every morning and it actually gives me a boost of energy for the day. It doesn't have any added sugars...only natural from the fruit. I have also noticed that I used to get sick ALL the time, and I haven't been sick in the 7 months I've been taking it. Hope that helps! I highly recommend it (but not for weight loss)

Don't try the diet pill go to Weight Watchers you can eat anything you want to and it works. Also, if you don't mind emailing me with what kind of work you do at home - I have a 24 month old and one on the way and would love to stay home however I need the income and would like to check into jobs that I could do at home.
Thank you in advance.

Scams and good companies - we have plenty of both in this world!

I have some friends that work for a company that makes TaiSlim (juice drink) - I think it has the berries in it?? Anyway - the product, I believe, is trustworthy quality and the company trustworthy...and the product does work! I lost two pounds a week using it...and was eating a whole lot healthier because I didn't want to waste my money!!!! <grin> It is geared for weightloss, but has a bunch of healthy benefits. I was able to order it on line when I wanted it - www.kory.taislim.com in case you want to check out something that works.

It concentrates on mid drift fat and metabolism; one of my friends lost 12 pounds the first week (has a lot to loose) and his pants fell down one day when he was carrying a load of stuff. Hee.

No it doesnt work. But running seems to be working for me now and staying away from ALL fast food. It is a waste of money.

Hi N.~ My husband and I have both been taking it for about 3 weeks. He has lost 4 lbs and so have I!!!

I am extremely sensative to herbal supplements that give you energy and it scared my husband when I brought this home, but I am taking 2 pills each morning with NO SIDE EFFECTS. Other than the fact that I am not as hungry and I am not craving sweets. No shakes, trembling or nervousness.

I bought a bottle of ACAI TRIM at Walmart for $9.89

Let us know if you try it and if it works for you, S.

DO NOT BUY IT!!!!!
I tried the Acai Pure pills over the internet and they made me violently ill.
I got the free trial bottle and tried one pill and was sick for two days. So I put it away thinking I had eaten something, I waited and about a month later I tried it again. Same thing. I was so violently ill I thought I would need to go to the hospital. By this time I had been receiving the bottles for $90 a pop. I contacted the company and they wouldn't let me return the pills and then sent me another bottle and charged my credit card again. I had to go to my credit card and she said they have been having many problems with the company with other customers and promised to get the whole thing resolved, whih she did but it took about three months.
Go to your doctor and see what he recommends. Mine said Weight Watchers and exercise, and here I sit on the computer.
