Acai Berry Diet Exposed: Miracle Diet or Scam?

Updated November 2, 2009

Cynthia Edwards Investigates the top diets of 2009 to find out if these new diets work.

If you use the internet frequently, there is a good chance that you have come across the many Acai Berry Internet ads and weight loss blogs making claims and showing the benefits of Acai Berries and the Acai Berry Diet.

The Acai Berry diet has been profiled many times on television (famous Talk Shows) and in the news (CNN, NBC, etc.). Although the hype around the Acai Berry Diet seems to be increasing steadily, I personally have not seen any real evidence to prove that the weight loss claims associated with Acai Berries are true.

This brings up a big question: Does the Acai Berry Diet really help people lose weight and is this REALLY AMERICA'S SUPER FOOD???

Everywhere you go on the internet, you run into these ads for Acai Berries and the Acai Berry Diet. There are literally thousands of these sites, all claiming that the Acai Berry is the #1 product for weight loss.

So I've decided to do an investigation of my own into this Acai Berry Diet, and deliver the results here. I want to find out if this tangy berry is really the 2009 Diet of the Year that everyone claims it is.

To begin, I had to choose which Acai Berry product to go with. I did some research and finally decided on Acai Berry Detox. I chose Acai Berry Detox over the many other Acai products out there because not only was there a FREE trial (most of the other Acai products offer this also), but unlike most of the other products, Acai Berry Detox doesn't try and add on additional offers for other diet products. I read through the fine print of most of the other acai offers, and they all had additional things you had to buy to get the trial.

Acai Berry Detox also boasted the highest grade of Acai available, making it the most potent Acai formula. I figured the most potent formula would give me the best results.

Another key to choosing Acai Berry Detox over the competition was the coupon for reduced shipping. I was able to get the trial free and pay only $0.99 shipping. I've listed the coupon code if you keep reading.

I was not ready to believe in the claims of the Acai Berry Diet or Acai Berry Detox. I needed to try it for myself.

Acai Berry Detox: Promised to help me

Lose Unwanted Pounds
Burn Fat Even While Sleeping
Cleanse My Body of Toxins
Increase My Energy

I decided to contact my doctor before trying this. Before my trial of Acai Berry Detox arrived, my doctor advised me that I should try a Colon Cleansing product with the Acai Berry supplement.

My own doctor was using Acai himself, and he told me that he was taking a Colon Cleansing pill along with the Acai. He said that by taking the Colon Cleansing and getting rid of all the sludge in your body (yes there's nasty sludge in your body), you would absorb the benefits of Acai more readily.

My trusted physician told me that Colon Cleansing Would:

Eliminate the Toxins that have been Slowly Building up within my Body over the Years
Remove the Sludge from the Walls of my Colon, including any Parasites
Help to Get Rid of Gas and Bloating
Help to Regulate Metabolism

Later on, I saw an interview with a famous Doctor on television (I don't think I have the rights to mention his name). This doctor appeared to be in full agreement with my own doctor regarding Colon Cleansing and the Acai berry.

“Like most physicians, I, have really been quite impressed with the health benefits associated with the Acai Berry diet. But, because most Americans have such high fat diets I highly recommend that anyone considering this diet use a Colon Cleansing supplement before they start any Acai Berry Diet.”

Upon hearing this, I added the Colon Cleanse supplement to my test. Again, I choose this colon cleans product based on the fact that it was not associated with any add-on type offers and also because it had a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.

Within just a few days after I placed the orders I received the Free Trial* offers for both Acai Berry Detox and Nature Colon Detox. Before I placed the orders I found coupons for each offer.

Step 1: Take one Acai Berry Detox per Day use Coupon Code - SAVE1 - for $0.99 shipping.

Step 2: Take one Nature Colon Detox pill per Day, use Coupon Code - LIFE99 - for REDUCED shipping.

My Results Journal:

Week One Results: "After just one week using these two products, I can say I am no longer a skeptic. My energy level is through the roof, and I feel like I can do anything! One of the best things about this routine is that unlike with other diets, I don't feel hungry. My appetite has decreased. Other than not eating as much as usual, the only thing different about my week is that I have taken the Acai Berry Detox and the Nature Colon Detox each day. Was I ever in for a shock when I got on my bathroom scales to discover that I had lost 10 pounds! In one week! For the first time in about a decade, I am now down to 140 pounds."

Week Two Results: "I started the week feeling really "pumped" because of my startling weight loss with Acai Berry Detox and Nature Colon Detox. But it only got better from there. My energy level seemed to increase even more. And, oddly enough, I started to get into an actual sleep schedule without waking up in the middle of the night, suffering from insomnia. Am I burning fat while I sleep, like the package promised? I don't know, but I do know that I'm sleeping like a "baby". I thought I was dreaming, however, when I weighed myself at the end of this week and found that I had lost another 6 pounds. I'm not 134 and loving my look in the mirror."

Week Three Results: "Still feeling great this week. I am so motivated to stay on board with Acai Berry Detox and Colon Cleanse. This stuff works! This week, looking in the mirror, I was astonished by my skin. It is so clean, clear, youthful looking. Further research on Acai helped me find out that it is rich in antioxidants that fight free radicals, so it improves the tone and texture of the skin. And because Nature Colon Detox was ridding my body of toxic waste, my skin was left refreshed and beautiful. When I weighed in this week, I had dropped another 7 pounds, weighing in at 126. That's a total of 20 pounds in three weeks. Wow! I feel so good about myself now."

Week Four Results:"Week four and within just six pounds of my goal weight. I am so certain that I will reach 120 this week, and I am so grateful that I have found these products. I can't wait to tell my sister about the results I have achieved – she's struggling to lose baby weight following the birth of my niece. Now I know why Acai Berry Detox and Nature Colon Detox were available on a free trial- they work so well that the manufacturer is confident that customers will reorder and tell all of their friends about the products. I know I will!"

What I really found out about Acai Berry Diets (at least the Acai Berry Detox) is that they really do work. People all over the world have discovered the health benefits and antioxidant properties of this amazing little berry from the Amazon.

If the skeptic in you is saying "no", rest assured I know where you're coming from. I am a hard person to scam. But with the free trial offered on Acai Berry Detox and Nature Colon Detox, I figured I should go for it. I had nothing to lose but a bit of ugly fat. Now I feel great, trim, slim, sexy, sleek, and gorgeous. My results are real!

Step 1: Take one Acai Berry Detox per Day use Coupon Code - SAVE1 - for $0.99 shipping.

Step 2: Take one Nature Colon Detox pill per Day, use Coupon Code - LIFE99 - for $0.99 shipping.
