acai berry weight loss
The acai berry is currently being touted as the latest natural superfood to promote weight loss complete with all the celebrity endorsements and viral marketing. While I pride myself as being one of the more sceptical and realistic pessimists of the world I have also persistently been trying to lose weight. On a whim I tried out Acai products which contains acai berries as a supplement along with some of the freeze dried variant to perhaps include in my daily diet in the hope that I might achieve some of the acai berry weight loss endorsed by so many other TV personalities.
To tell you the truth, I've heard a lot about the acai berry and its supposed benefits; a bit too much actually. While the more dubious claims of enhanced sexual prowess and improved libido are more than likely untrue (at least I never felt it!) it is still by nature a berry making it rich in antioxidants and anthocyanins. Having tasted the real acai berry in its unadulterated form I have to say that I prefer blueberries or cherries much more, but perhaps this is more because I have a natural sweet tooth. Eating too much of either would more than likely hasten teeth decay. The acai berry isn't nearly as sweet, or as sour and has distinctly unique taste, much like a fruity coffee bean but the taste does grow on you after time.
Mixing the berries into my cereal and yoghurt certainly make the actual berry more palatable, however I believe that while the benefit of acai berry weight loss has been a bit more over hyped than its other benefits it is actually true. I have found that after two to three weeks of intake that the berry does add a little bit more vigour to my step and a lot more vigour in my bowel movements. This I believe is the main reason that acai berry weight loss seems to have been overemphasized, mainly because as a purgative or laxative it is a lot more immediate and evident than its other benefits.
I have tried taking blueberries and cherries in the same way as I currently do for acai berries. As a superfood, blueberries do contain a whole lot more of everything than acai berries does. Unfortunately this includes sweetness and having too much of something fruity and sweet will eventually give me a rather cloying feeling at the back of my throat. After taking blueberries constantly for about three weeks, I just couldn't take it anymore because thanks to its strong taste, it overpowers nearly everything you add it to. This threw me off of blueberries for at least a couple of months, something almost unbelievable for someone who lists blueberries as one of his favourite things to eat in the world. Thankfully acai berries don't do the same, letting me consume them regularly and without getting too bored of them.
In comparison to a better feeling of well-being I believe the whole acai berry weight loss benefit is more of a side-effect than anything else. As a purgative it is quite effective as taking just a bit more than recommended causes mild diarrhoea, at least for me. Acai berry weight loss is thus more of a side effect compared to its total overall benefits. However, making it a part of my daily diet and taking it in moderation does increase my health somewhat, almost like eating vitamin tablets with my salad and tossing multivits into my cereal without the eventually cloying feeling you get after eating too much sweet stuff like blueberries.
