Ya, instead of getting healthier they were rollin down the street with cheeks like a blow fish and a jelly belly that slapped the ground everytime they tried to run off their last meal.

So, here we are with the “Organic Craze”. 

Those who know me would say that I only eat clean, all natural foods and have since I’ve been about 12 years old.  No preservatives, no chemicals, nothing foreign just real ingredients.  Yet, does that mean just because the label says organic that gives me right to stuff my face and think I’d never put on weight.  Obviously not!!

Don’t get sucked up into the all natural, organic advertising bonanza.  If you’re trying to lose weight; watch your calories and work your ass off.  That’s how you’ll get in shape fast.  Not by sucking down acai juice, pills and cup cakes.

Do yourself a favor….skip the bull.  Go to basics: lean proteins, organic veggies, fruits and greens.  Sprinkle it with some complex carbs and SWEAT! Lift some weights and hit a punching bag.  Just move.

Summary: Go organic but don’t stuff your face.

Lets start off by why Acai Berries can be beneficial?

Anthocyanins and flavonoids are powerful antioxidants that help defend the body against life’s stressors. They also play a role in the body’s cell protection system against free radicals, harmful byproducts produced by the body.

How does Acai Berry contribute to assist with a healthy diet?

Gram for gram, Acai Berry is one of the nutrient-rich foods available. There are many valuable nutrients in the Acai Berry and the exceptionally high levels of antioxidants
(with high ORAC units) are the major reason for the health benefits of Acai Berry.

ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) units, is a unit of measurement for antioxidants developed by the National Institute on Aging in the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
 
The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) has initiated studies to examine the link between antioxidant rich foods, aging and disease.

 How Can Acai Berries boost weight loss?

  Scientists are learning more about the functional power of superfoods, such as the Acai Berry and the benefit of acai in promoting weight loss. Acai Berry contains the most powerful and effective naturally-occurring ingredients for internal cleansing and boosting metabolic function to help manage weight-control. A vast amount of research supports eating a diet rich in antioxidants to build a strong immune system and live a toxic-free lifestyle. There’s no doubt that berries and other fruits are a key part of any healthy diet promoting healthy weight loss.

 Yet, don’t believe these sites that tell you to take Acai Berry and you’ll instantly lose weight. 

It just WON’T Happen. 

 Take Acai to get healthy while your on a  lean diet and a challenging workout plan!!!  

Eating fruits (berries, melon etc.), lean protein, organic greens and veggies plus lots of water are all key for a healthy diet.  Adding Acai supplements can help but I still like to tell my clients to rely on eating organic fruits rather than a pill form. That means, eating lots of organic blueberries, golgi berries, acai berries etc..

Unfortunately, the farming methods that are use to harvest are fruits aren’t always the best and we don’t get 100% of the vital nutrients of farmed fruit.  So,  taking an antioxidant,Acai Berry supplement, probiotic multiple vitamin, glutamine and/or fish oils are beneficial when added to a healthy diet. 

 So, go ahead and try a reputable Acai Berry Supplement preferably one thats GMP Certified.

Here is an Acai Berry Site to order online  if you’d like to try it!
