i have to agree with BSL, RedPanda, and Chillen on this one.
Cleanse at most will lose 5 lbs.
The Acai crap is just a stupid pyramid like Avon. It's all BS.
If someone wants to lose weight and do it right all you have to do is eat right and get your butt moving. Don't believe any of the stupid fads out there.

The actual acai juice and pulp is much healthier for you than the supplements are.

Be it known that one Acai berry can be replaced in about every way with a few of the much cheaper, locally found fruit: the blueberry. Yum!
That way you are eating a FRUIT (getting the pulp, the skin, all the nutrients) instead of likely just drinking a JUICE (sugar, some flavor, and sugar).

Acai is just another berry, I was in Brazil and they're everywhere. I live in Thailand and there's tons of fruit here which could be sold in the West as "Miracle cure for your fat asses"
The fact is, slick marketing will always win over stupid (fat & desperate) consumers.

Oh, well....these single-post forum members make a compelling arguement and given their strong credentials we should certainly accept what they have to say. Thanks to the acai berry & colon cleanse we can now pound the trans-fat, gobble slices of greasy pizza and use the FOUR C's as our new food pyramid: Coke, Candy, Cookies & Cake. No matter how much we eat or what we eat, the Acai' berry will save us from metabolic catastrophe!
I mean...why buy fresh berries at the store for a couple bucks and get all that wholesome fiber, vitamins, nutrients and what-not.....when for $24 you can buy a bottle of Mona Vie SUPER Antioxidant drink and cure all our ailments.
Scamming people on health products is just one step down from defrauding old people out of their life savings. Lillian is right; any berry will more then do the same thing. Dried plums (prunes) are loaded with everything!

Too many fads around, but you I feel sorry for people that just go for the easy option.
a couple of pills arn't going to make/help you lose the extra weight unless its accompanied by hard work, healthy & clean cut diet..and by the time you have done the previous two things you may as well have just left the pills on the quick buy rack at the shops.

Acai Berry does have postive effects. Myself and some colleagues have used it before and certainly the "larger" members of the group have seen very positive effects.

Well maybe the acai berry hasnt been genetically modified like the more common fruits these days, so they are more nutrient rich then the fruits that a lot of people eat such as strawberrys
