I have heard of acai berry (think that is the right spelling) and heard it can aid weightloss. Has any one heard of it or tried it? does it work?
Thanks

Has Any One Tried Acai Berry? Does It Work?

Nope it is useless as a weight loss aid.Even so called prescribed diet pills that work in drug company trials seem to fail to help people to sustain weight loss, and many GPs like me rarely prescribed any of them anyway. I am afraid there are no quick fixes. Weight loss needs time, commitment and dedication. So called dieters, effectively looking for something to lose weight for them are doomed to fail. The worse news is that 2 in 3 actually end up heavier! (university of California study.) Weight loss requires dedication, time and commitment.
The problem with your question is that if you look in “search for questions” it comes up 30 times every day. I have had some criticism for repeatedly using the same answer, but since I am happy with my answer, and the questions are the same, I don’t see the issue with recycling the same answer.
In practise for problems that came up on a regular basis we tended to use patient leaflets to avoid having to repeat ourselves this seemed a sensible use of resources. What follows is thus in effect me information leaflet.
Weight loss and fitness is always a long term commitment and never a quick fix. If you really want to reduce your weight a bit, this is a complex regime, that should help, I would get a pencil to write it down, in case you forget any of the intricate details.
Currently only using the criteria ‘lose weight’ there are 9,419 questions and answers on Answers already. Mis-spell it as ‘loose weight’ and you get another 2,633! ‘Weight loss’ will add another 1,883. ‘Too fat ‘ 15,515 and ‘overweight’ 2,692 and ‘over weight’ 26,269!!!!!.
‘Diet Pills’ gives 607, Green tea 482, Hoodia 195, ‘pink patch’ 119, ‘Xenical’ 91 ‘Reductil’ 78, ‘Slim fast’ 215 (and Slimfast 69 ), lipotrim 44 and ‘orlistat’ 40 . Do you spot a pattern here? OMG that is 60,000 questions with the same basic theme, wanting to lose weight!
Here comes the only answer, no tricks, no pills, no short cuts, If you really want to lose weight, loose weight, not be too fat or overweight, follow these instructions carefully:-
1) Eat less
2) Take regular vigorous exercise
Repeat 1 + 2 forever

No of course not. If they did, would anyone ever really be fat? Exactly!
There is as ever only ONE way to lose weight; a healthy reduced calorie diet and daily vigorous exercise. Pills, patches and promises won’t help you. Less in, more out!
Herbal supplements for weight loss and Hoodia acai berry etc are a bit of a joke really with only one thing is common; they are being sold by unscrupulous charlatans willing to take your money promising their pills will help you lose weight and then laughing all the way to the bank. At the end of the day, the only thing that will be lighter is your wallet.
If you are ‘looking’ for ’something’ to help you lose weight, that is your first mistake

started taking it saturday, no change yet, it says on it that it is an antioxidant and good for health & well being - I got it from Pound shop. Im currently taking diet pills from doctor and only loosing 1lb per fortnight, so don’t think Akai berries will help with weight.

I bought the wildcrafted version from “Genesis Today” and found it to be pretty potent. Lots of antioxidant power.
