Berry Mania

How many of you like me have tried weight loss plan after weight loss plan? Whether it is going to 24 hour fitness, buying weights, running a mile every day, cutting down on carbs, becoming vegetarian, and so many other plans that I have tried I always find that it is hard to stay commited. What way is next? Well if you too keep up with the news and Oprah, the easiest way out of body fat is the Acai Berry. At first, I believed in this tiny grape-like berry, but right before I asked my mom to buy me Acai maximum, she showed me an article in the newspaper to stay away from this berry. So I spent this week looking for articles that will give me good berries and bad berries to stay away from.

Let me start with the berries that everyone knows before I give the "good" and "bad" acai berries. After reading on about nurition I found some interesting facts that everyone might not know. For instance, a cup of strawberries gives as much calcium as a cup of orange juice. Cranberries and blueberries can prevent bladder infection. If you have a balanced diet of berries, it is believe that you can prevent several types of cancer. My personal favorite ways to eat berries:
Strawberry Milkshakes
Strawberries cut up with bananas
Blueberries and Lemon Loaf
Black Berries on top of red velvet cake
Raspberries with yogurt and walnuts
Blueberry Scones

Acai Berries are the "revolutionary berry" that are said to increase your energy, speed up weight loss, and clean your insides but is all of this true? The best weight loss result reported so far is 31 pounds in a month. Wow. Now that is alot. But consider, with rapid weight loss you can loose hair, break out, and have stretch marks or cellulite showing oh no. What everyone should watch out for when they try this diet is buying on an online site. You should also try a small sample or see a doctor before trying this diet because some people can get serious reactions like breaking into hives, itching, or breaking out. Now thinking about this berry and rapid weight loss you might still want to try it, I admit I would like to take the risk to, later on I might and let you know how it goes. Some approved brands are:

LeanSpa Acai
Acai Weight loss
Acai Maximum
Acai berry select (for men)
