If You Are Considering Acai Berry Weight Loss

By Ole Gerrior


The Question is whether such billing is fact or hype. A quick search on the Internet would give an idea of the magnitude of the Acai's popularity. It stands to reason that the individual, seeking to lose weight, can become overwhelmed by all the "hoopla." Yet a cool head and a little research may yield some very interesting results about this Brazilian berry.

The most common way to eliminate calories is through burning them via exercise. However, this is not all that easy for many people due to the effort and energy needed for a solid cardio workout. Well, thankfully, if you are a little on the sluggish side when it comes to working out, here is some good news: the Acai berry weight loss plan is one that can work quite well for boosting your energy and helping you drop a stunning amount of weight.

Other nutrients contained in the fruit are associated with its anti-aging, weight loss, and cancer-fighting properties. Researchers at Texas A&M University, in a 2004 report, found that the antioxidants found in acai berry are highly absorbable and therefore, beneficial for human consumption.

It should be noted, however, that none of these nutrient compounds have been found to directly contribute to weight loss, even though it was shown that acai does seem to aid the body's metabolic process. Of the many compounds found in the berry, more than 65 have yet to be studied scientifically. As yet none of acai's compounds have shown to be direct weight loss enhancers. Elsewhere, more recent Research at the University of Florida (Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, 2006) have found that the berry shows promise in the treatment of a range of diseases including cancer, leukemia and diabetes. Of course, there are other factors that affect the working of various nutrients in the body. These factors include absorption, assimilation and reaction with other substances in the body.

If you are seeking to lose weight the acai berry, as well as a number of other familiar fruits, should be a part of a healthy diet. However, do not follow the hype associated with the acai berry weight-loss diet. There is a lot more research to be done before the true benefits of acai, in weight-loss, are known.

One factor hindering faster research, is the fact that the berry is highly perishable. This means that the berries must be processed immediately upon harvesting in order to preserve many of its nutritional compounds.

It also means that much of the research work may need to be carried out on location, that is, closer to where the berries are harvested. A balanced and sensible nutritional approach is preferred here.

Taking regular supplements of Acai berries delivers a great help to those looking to lose weight and stay in shape. Dropping those extra pounds is never easy and that is why the need for a supplement is so important.

It must be remembered that it is the pulp of the berry that contain the nutrients and not the leaves, stems or roots. So products offering these leaves, stems or root extracts, must be rejected as worthless.

Already, there are the numerous complaints from users of acai weight loss products, that the results do not to match the claims. This may be an indication of one of two reasons. One reason is that the acai content of the particular product is woefully low.

Check the label to determine the exact content of each capsule. The other reason may be an indicator that the berry itself may not boost any significant "lose-the-weight" nutrients. To date there is no known conclusive study supporting acai berry as a genuine weight loss super-food.

There are a great number of foods on the market, and acai berry could just be part of a well-balanced diet. This article proposes that lasting weight-loss is only effected with a balanced synergistic approach. An approach that incorporates both good nutrition and targeted physical exercise.
