I have been taking acai berry every single day for several months now and I haven’t lost a pound. I’m not trying to lose weight either, mind you. The point is, do not take acai for weight loss purposes or you will be sorely disappointed. I can guarantee you that anyone who has lost significant weight while taking acai were also doing other things such as dieting and exercising. I personally don’t even think acai “helps” in weight loss but I do say that it might help only because I get emails from people who swear to me they have lost weight from acai alone. Since I can’t prove what they are saying is true or false, I have to mention in my writings that acai “may” help with weight loss.

If you want to lose weight, watch what you eat and exercise when you can. Don’t rely on acai or ANY supplement for that matter.

Good luck to you!

Thanks for visiting! If you’ve read through my site, you’ll know the answer to your question – acai MAY help in weight loss but it’s primarily a health supplement. I wouldn’t recommend you spend that kind of money on acai for weight loss. Despite all the marketing hype behind acai, taking it alone will do very little to help you lose weight.

To lose weight you need to eat right and exercise if you can. If you do these two things, you won’t need ANY supplement. Some argue that if you diet and exercise and take acai you may lose weight easier, but I’m not so sure. If it helps, it wouldn’t help a lot.

Bottom line: buy acai only for its health benefits NOT for its supposed weight loss benefits. Your money would be better spent on a weight loss program that will help you get your diet in check and help you reach your weight loss goals.

Please see my comments to Nancy regarding acai berry and weight loss. As for medications and acai berry, it is safe to take them together so long as you take PURE acai berry products. In other words, stay away from those products that have other ingredients in them. You want products that have acai berry and acai berry only!

I always tell people to think of acai as vitamin C. You can take vitamin C with ANYTHING for the most part and you won’t experience any side effects. And vitamin C is very healthy (has lots of antioxidants). However, you’d be foolish to think that simply adding vitamin C to your diet would result in weight loss. Acai berry is the same thing as vitamin C in that it’s just another safe and healthy thing you can add to your diet but don’t expect any weight loss miracles;)

Thanks for visiting and thanks for your question. Acai is just a fruit. It just so happens that it is only available “fresh” in the Amazon forests of Brazil. It perishes quickly so unless you live there you cannot find the berries themselves. You can, however, find it in supplements or as frozen acai pulp or acai powder. Those who say acai will result in weight loss are not telling the truth. The acai berry is not unlike any other berry – except that it has a lot more antioxidants and healthy fats not commonly found in fruits. So if you’re just looking for another healthy fruit to add to your diet, then by all means include acai in your diet. I personally take acai powder, mixed in milk, everyday. I take it strictly to get more antioxidants in my diet – nothing else. I buy my acai powder from Acai Roots. I have a full review of that company here on this website. I hope this helps.

Thanks,
