Background

The Acai berry is one of the Top 10 Superfoods mentioned in the books of Dr. Nicholas Perricone, a well-known medical and weight loss expert. Acai became popular after Oprah made mention of it in her show, followed by stories in Vogue, NBC and the London Times. The Acai berry is supposed to help with weight loss by providing high levels of antioxidantsand omega 3 and 6 fats, and by improving digestive function.

What to Eat

Acai products come in a variety of forms, including pills, 100 percent fruit juice and mixed drinks. There is no specific meal plan provided, as the supplements are sold as an addition to whatever diet program you're following at the moment.

The Good

The Acai berry has been used for centuries for its health benefits, which include helping prevent diabetes, artheriosclerosis and inflammation. The berry also promotes sleep and keeps the heart healthy. High in fiber, which promotes digestion and can help you satiate hunger.

The Bad

There's no evidence that Acai actually helps with weight loss. It may be hard to figure out which Acai products are healthy and which ones are filled with additives and sugars. There's no actual diet to follow, so you don't learn anything about portion sizes and how to choose the right foods.

Exercise

Exercise is not mentioned in this program.

Costs

Prices for Acai products vary from a few dollars to over a hundred, depending on the brand name and the type of product (juice, supplements, etc.)
