Acai Berry is a fad diet. It doesn't work. I have seen many stories about acai berry. One of them was about a mother who had soo much to do and she combined acai berry with some other fad diet and got wonderfull results. However, as i searched, i found many more of this same story and each one, the women lived somewhere else. Taxes, Arkansas, etc and if you look at certain links, you'll see that some links to the trials are defferent. That means if you sign up, someone is getting paid or something for getting you to try it. Its also something thats being spammed in yahoo answers by people which gives me more reason to believe that this is just a fad diet where people are paid to refer others to their site. Do the diet the right way and you will lose weight. The only diet i know of with a name that i think actually works, is the attkins diet but i prefer doing the diet the old fashioned way. Eat my minimum calories, eat healthy, exercise.

Edit: After looking at your link, i see its similar to the one i saw, but anyways... As it said in one of the stickies.... It can't be just done by a single doctor or study. It has to be confirmed by several. (i think it was in one of susans stickies?)

Perhaps, lol. If you think about it... People who just write up a story like the one in your link with some refferences and then link you to a site with a special link that will get them some kinda payment is usually just someone who wants to make money and uses a good scheme to do it. Basically, you shouldn't trust the words of such a person because it is most likely made up. A lie. That and, why purchase Acai Berry? If those bottles cost 45$ you would save more by shopping for healthy foods and eating those. You also have to exercise to lose weight. Eating healthy won't get you anywhere and odds are, if you don't exercise and you lose weight, you'll get the weight back fast. You could say, that Acai Berry is practically the same thing as Herbalife (my sister is taking that).

As far as the doctor goes, as susan said... It has to be confirmed and accepted by many studies to be truly proven effective. Not by one doctor or study because usually, thats all it takes to convince someone who lacks health knowledge and marketing knowledge to make them buy it.

Wow I didn't see it cost $45...I just saw where you can pay s/h...lol! But I wouldn't even want to pay that...no way. I know if my weight loss slows down too much I can always try phen again..have a great day!
