![]() Julia investigates the Acai Berry diet to find out for herself if this super diet works. The Acai berry: secret weight loss drug or latest online scam? When you weigh the evidence, it's hard to be sure. On the one hand, the Internet is ablaze with stories of the wonders of the Acai-from first hand tales of weight loss success to doctors' scientific justifications. On the other hand, it's difficult to verify the truthfulness of this type of online claim. Instead of trying to sort out the truth from the marketing attempts, we here at News 8 took matters into our own hands. After all, what better way to find out the truth than to conduct our own study? To get started, I volunteered to be the guinea pig. I wanted to test this claim for my Internet audience, and I figured that any weight loss that I experienced would be a welcome bonus. What I wasn't looking for, though, was dangerous side effects or memberships to online weight loss programs where I would be spammed and probably scammed out of some cash. For this reason, I applied for a bottle of the Acai Optimum. While turning every virtual corner will reveal another advertisement for an Acai supplement, Acai Berry Optimum is one of the most credible and trustworthy suppliers on the market. I read the fine print, and Acai Berry Optimum didn't come with unwanted and expensive memberships. It was also the most concentrated Acai berry product I could find, which made me conclude that Acai Berry Optimum was the safest and probably most powerful Acai weight loss product online. At least, it was the product I trusted most for my study. Here is what Acai Berry Optimum claimed on its website:
When I first read these goals, I have to admit that I thought they were too good to be true, but I wanted to test the product for myself, so I did my best to withhold judgment. In fact, I did everything I could to make sure I was successful-including incorporating colon cleansing into my diet regimen. Most of the Acai success stories talk about combining the berries with colon cleansing products to achieve maximum weight loss, so I decided to do the same. Most Acai Berry success stories stress the fact that the berry encourages weight loss and increases energy, while the colon cleanse helps rid your body of toxins and allows it to burn calories more efficiently. Even though this advice seemed to make sense, I was still skeptical, but I decided to use Advanced Cleanse for my test. Here is what Advanced Cleanse claimed on their website...
Both Advance Cleanse and Acai Berry Optimum offered trials with a 100% satisfaction guarantee, and neither product required that I sign up for penny pinching trial memberships with fitness and weight loss programs. These problems have turned me off from weight loss products in the past. Even if a product is effective, no one wants to deal with spam and hidden costs even if it means loosing a little weight. Putting Acai to the TestI didn't have to wait long to start my trial. Both the Acai Berry Optimum and Advanced Cleanse arrived within 4 days of having placed my online order for the free trials. Each bottle contained a month's worth of pills-plenty to help me decide whether or not they were working for me. I decided to proceed by taking both pills for four weeks and documenting my progress. My Test 4 Week Acai Berry Diet: Acai Berry Optimum + Advanced CleanseMy Results: Week One: I actually didn't expect to see any dramatic results within the first week, but the products surprised me. After just a few days of taking the pills, felt like I had more energy, and I wasn't hungry, nor was I craving food. I'm pretty sure these were side effects of the Acai pills, and these side effects are the type I don't mind at all. Thanks to the pills, I felt fantastic. And this feeling can't be chalked up to "cheating." I didn't change my daily routine at all during this first week. I was feeling great by the end of the week, but that's not the best part. The best part is that I actually lost weight--5 pounds by day 7! This certainly raised my hopes, but I still wasn't convinced. I knew this could be water weight, and I wanted to complete the trial before I made any decisions about the success of the diet plan. Week Two In the second week of using the product, I experienced more beneficial side effects. First, I was able to sleep and relax like never before. Paired with the increased energy, my newfound ability to relax (which was probably a result of the colon cleanser) was improving my overall health. AND I continued to loose weight. After this second week, I had lost a total of 8 pounds, and I weighed less than I ever had before in my life! I was trying not to get my hopes up, but I was slowly loosing my skepticism at this point. Week Three: After 3 weeks and two sizes, I completely lost my reservations. I wanted to be an impartial observer to the end, but at this point, I failed. I was ecstatic! With most of the other diets I've tried, the third week also marked a change for me. Unlike with the Acai Berry and Advanced Cleanse, however, other diets made me less hopeful around week 3. After seeing no results, I tended to loose steam. But with the Acai Berry Optimum and Advanced Cleanse diet, my energy levels didn't dip; they remained steady throughout the day. I noticed little fatigue, better sleep at night, and a more comfortable existence. By this week, I also noticed that I was feeling much better about digesting my food. Bloating was a thing of the past. Week Four: After the fourth week, my final results were shocking. I lost an unbelievable 12 lbs since beginning the Acai Berry Optimum and Advanced Cleanse diet! I didn't fall for any gimmicks, and I didn't have to sign up for any bogus trial memberships. Acai Berry Pure and Advanced Cleanse did come with some side effects, though. It left me feeling rested, energetic, and I also noticed a drastic change in my complexion. Everyone at News 8 is really kicking themselves for not volunteering to the guinea pig this time around. As for this guinea pig, she'll be sure to order full size bottles of both products. I couldn't be any happier with the results. I Lost 12 lbs in 4 Weeks; No Special Diet, No Intense ExerciseConclusion:Diet pills have a bad reputation, and they certainly impacted my perception of the Acai berry and Advanced Cleanse diet. But after actually trying these supplements, I found that they defied my expectations. And unlike other diet pills, the makers of both supplements are straightforward and to the point with what you should expect and what you have to do to get your free trial. You'll have to make your own decision about how you want to loose weight. But as for me, I recommend trying these products.
