Two years ago, I decided enough was enough and started to take some action on losing weight. I started to do some research and got very confused. I'm sure you've seen tons of diet products out there with fad diets and exercise equipment advertised on tv. Well most of them I felt were scams. Seriously, I tried a lot of them myself before finding something that actually worked.

Here's what happened... The first diets I tried were the Atkins and South Beach diets. I had to drastically change my eating habits by eliminating carbs which my body did not respond to well to. This apparently is very common and one of the major reasons why these diets fail.

I also tried the slim fast diet, which seemed reasonable at first. It is basically controlled portions, but you have to keep buying their products. I really did not like how they tasted and gave that one up. The last diet I tried was Jenny Craig. It seemed very doable. After getting over the price tag and trying it, I spend so much time counting everything and keeping track of all my meals and stuff that I just got frustrated and gave up. I was really not motivated to exercise or anything like that.

Last year I went on vacation to Brazil. There I found that a lot of people were having drinks with this fruit called Acai Berry in them. It was supposed to give you energy and help you work out and lose weight easily without changing you diet very much. The next week when I got back home I was watching Oprah and guess what, they were talking about the exact same fruit and how it was amazing at helping people lose weight.

I decided to do some research and here's what I found out. There are a ton of products out there with Acai in them. You can go to the grocery store and find a few I'm sure. They are probably great tasting but none seemed to be concentrated enough to actually help you lose weight. So I looked for a concentrated Acai Berry supplement and found some.

Well 4 months later and 45 pounds lighter...all thanks to Acai Berry.
