acaislim

Just want to say...

dinkidi · Guru

Hi sunflower, it does work by itself I believe, there are people on here due to bowel issues that don't take the CC and seem to be getting results. Best of luck to you.

marga · Guru

@ sunflower: acai slim works alone for some. others get positive results in using both. i used both as and cc and received positive results.so i guess it's different depending how your body reacts to it.

belle, for example, does not use cc but receives good results.
khloekobe, used cc and got good results too.

so i would say it's different on each body. you may try it and we'll see by then if it works on you.

Goal: 36-24-36 with AcaiSlim

Belle · Guru

I only use a/s sunflower and it's working for me. I put my second order in on the 20th October and still haven't received it and I'm just about out of my first bottle.

Sunflower · Veteran Member

Hey thanks for the feedback guys.

Yeah Belle, I hope you receive it soon! I ended up emailing and calling until they heard me, they are a pretty good company, they answered quite quickly, and I think they have fedex'ed their mistake to me! So that's pretty cool!

I hope you're bottle lasts until you receive your next lot!

I'm going to give it a month, if I haven't lost any substantial weight, then I am going to request a refund. :/ So I pray it works!

Belle · Guru

It does work sunflower but you have to be careful with what you eat. Some people think they can just take the tablet and their weight will magically disappear but it doesn't work that way.

So use the acai slim in conjuction with diet and exercise and you will see results.

khloekobe · Guru

i agree with you belle.. if you really want to loose weight you should be determined and do everything (sacrifice a lot) .. :)

Belle · Guru

You don't have to sacrifice to much food just opt for a healthier alternative. Like at the moment I am into apples in a big way.... biggrin

Thank you for the tip.

I see what you mean :( Today I woke up and weighed myself and it said 59 / 60 again.

I'm so disappointed.

Sunflower · Veteran Member

Not like I've eaten complete junk. I mean I had some chinese thing last night for dinner, it was a bun with chicken, and another with mushroom. Suppose I should have left it at one. Or just had a salad.

I also suppose I should be exercising too.

But I'm so unmotivated because I can't sleep properly, plus I got a lot of work to do right now.

Once I run out of sugar for my morning coffee's (which I know is bad to start with) I won't be buying anymore, which means I won't drink coffee at all. Can't stand it without sugar.

So then I will only buy salads and tuna and tofu and vegetables.

Hopefully that will help.

Going to cut bread out of my diet too. I admit yesterday I had 2 sandwiches, and some toast with my eggs. :/

Sunflower · Veteran Member

I also think that I will switch the way I take the tablets.

I was taking 2 AS in the morning, then 2 AS before bed and 2 CC.

So I think now I will take 1 CC with 1 AS at breakfast.

Then 1 AS at lunch

1 AS at dinner

and 1 AS and 1 CC at bed time.

Might help.

And I'll also try to exercise a bit too.

Belle · Guru

I've started taking three a day b4 meals it seems to work for me. I also eat most of my food in the morning.

dinkidi · Guru

I'm taking 2 A/s at breakfast (if I don't forget to have breakfast like this morning coz I wasn't hungry and was going to have it when I got to work then forgot again !!)

2 Acai (one that can't be named) and 2 C/c at lunch time

2 A/s at dinner time

don't think I really need to take the middle Acai but if mentally it makes me feel better for doing it then I guess that's ok

Belle · Guru

If it works for you dinkidi then do it!!!!

dinkidi · Guru

I normally couldn't leave the house without breakfast let alone get to lunch time and not even remember !!

khloekobe · Guru

im taking 3 each day 3 a/s and 3 c/c..
@sunflower: try eating only those you've mention (salad, tuna, tofu,and vegetable) for 1 week.. and a bit of exercise im sure it will really help you loose weight.. :)

Belle · Guru

I have a little treat everyday. Today I had 40gm of chocolate bullets, yes I even weighed them.

Anyway, I am off to clean the bathtub. As I am at home at the moment I think I should probably do some housework instead of sitting at the computor all day. I'm turning into my daughter. lol

dinkidi · Guru

lol Belle, at least housework is exercise, don't think of it as a chore but a way of getting fit !!

khloekobe · Guru

way of getting really sexy.. yay! my exercise is carrying my 7 months old baby boy.. lol! he's so heavy.. :) that is everyday..

Belle · Guru

When my daughter was a baby I used to take her on really, really long walks. I even had a fan club. A couple of pensioners used cheer me on every morning, they were really impressed with the amount of area I covered.

khloekobe · Guru

a fan club for what belle?

Belle · Guru

I had a fan club.

hotbabe · Senior Member

@belle: you weighed the choc you took? oh-some! haha.

i also have a fan club.. people who supports me with my so-called diet.. been dieting for years now....and they told me, i never made it! LOL

and i didn't know that acai is one of the best solutions. . i used to starve myself.. with acai, i wanted to eat but my tummy says NO.

Thank you, I stopped taking them for a few days. While I'm not eating that great because it seems like a waste. I'm going to finish the rest of the bottle with a healthy diet from this Thursday. And pray I lose some weight - but so far I feel blah about them, because I don't see any change. I'm also sick of trying to find things to eat that are healthy, so this week I'm going to buy a bunch of VLCD shakes and take those with the acai slims. Then just eat something like salad for dinner.

I'll post back here when I start taking them and eating a better diet.

Sunflower · Veteran Member

I hate exercise. The only exercise I do is walking to and from class.

marga · Guru

@ sunflower: that's what i did with acai slim before. 1 as and cc before breakfast, before lunch, before dinner, then another set before bedtime. it was effective on me. so i would suggest you do that too.

Goal: 36-24-36 with AcaiSlim

Thank you :) I'm going to try and take them again soon after I get some VLCD's. I think I'll have more luck if I stick to a diet like that too. I thought I was making progress to begin with as I thought I'd lost 1.8kgs in the first 3 days, but I knew it was probably just fluctuation. Cuz some mornings I wake up that much lighter.

So I really need to try again with the VLCD's, and salads for dinner and hope I get somewhere.

Thanks again, I'll update my progress again after Thursday.

Belle · Guru

What's VLCD?

khloekobe · Guru

@sunflower: i lost another 1kg this week.. my total lost for 6 weeks is 9.5kg.. acai works for me at the same time i do watch for what i eat and have exercise heaps.. in that simple way acai really works.. To tell you honestly dieting is my career today.. LOL.. im really determined to lose weight.. Don't give up sunflower.. keep going.. Maybe for now your body is still adgusting..

GOT MY 2ND ORDER TODAY.. YAY.. got it after 8 days.. :)

annsmith · Senior Member

@sunflower: i agree with khloekobe! maybe your body is in its adjusting stage right now. i almost lost 5.3kg in 4 weeks/1 month. just wait a little more time to see fantastic results. good luck sunflower.

@khloekobe: great job! keep going I'm sure you will achieve your goal because as i can see youre determined to lose weight. good luck!

Gunabe · Senior Member

the girls are right sunflower... everyones body is different and reacts to the AS differently but consistency helps with these pills from what i can gather by reading through the forum and all the girls postings. Keep going sunflower you can do it... "healthy mind + healthy spirit = healthy body and great results".
Belle... VLCD is a very low calorie diet (milk shake drink things you mix with water) that you buy from the chemists and super markets now too i think... i did try them but i failed, i was good for 2days but then i started to slack off and eat and snack because i thought i was hungry, i don't think i was ready to be serious about the weight loss, but now on the AS i am ready!! and with the help of this forum i'll do it!! LOL sounds easy and even writing it is easy, we'll see how i go LOL so far so good...

Belle · Guru

I thought that's what you meant. I had a hernia operation last year and I had to go on a diet b4 the op and my Dr put me on Optislim (I think) for two weeks b4 the op. because he wanted me to lose weight.

Sunflower · Veteran Member

Wow you girls are so wonderful! thank you so much for all the encouragement and support! i am going to start taking them again today, and yes I think the VLCD's will help me too, because I just make not so good choices when it comes to eating, and I am lazy! I mean I hate thinking about what to eat, and it just gets old. I know I will have to start making right choices soon. And I will. Money being short makes it hard to eat properly. I always seem to give up in the first or second week whenI don't see results, especially since everyone on the forum seems to have lost a few kilos by the end of the week and such.

I think it's just better eating choices, and i need to start doing some exercise!

I will get there!

Thanks again for the support and encouragement! and I'm so proud of all of you for losing as much as you have! well done!

Hi sunflower

I don't have a lot of money either and I'm managing to eat a (mostly) healthy diet. It is actually cheaper being on a diet because I'm not eating as much as I usually do.

Yeah that makes sense, I just need to learn how to do it. I have guinea piggies to feed too, so I need to make it streeeeeeeetch! lol

Belle · Guru

Just walk into a fruit and veg shop and buy some lettuce, tomatoe, avocado for salad and then you could get some fruit and then some capsicum, broccoli, zucchini, squash that sort of thing for a stir fry.

Do you mean that you have children?

khloekobe · Guru

wow im a vegetarian now and i love vegetable salads.. that's my dinner.. then if hungry i just eat celery.. celery helps burn calories.. :)

Gunabe · Senior Member

khloe i did not know that about celery... i'm gonna get some today LOL and yep sir i'm a great salad fan too you don't feel heavy after eating them

dinkidi · Guru

apples are the same Gunabe, it takes more energy to digest them than what calories is in them ...... not sure if that made sense but anyway !

Gunabe · Senior Member

sure did make sense dinkidi thanks for that... i like them a lot more than the celery LOL unless you can put peanut butter on it... i know it sounds gross but my kids were doing it one day so i tried it and hey it's not that bad

dinkidi · Guru

I have a friend that puts peanut butter on celery too, can't say I like either so can't imagine both together being too nice, but maybe one day I'll try it then I can say one way or the other.

Gunabe · Senior Member

LOL dinkidi biggrin

i used to think that too LOL however i did put philly cheese on some and that wasn't too bad, give it a go, you'll either like it or hate it LOL

Belle · Guru

I love the chilly philly dip but it's a bit to nice and I can't stop eating it if I buy it.

dinkidi · Guru

I can do the philly cheese or dip on celery, I'm still not too sure on peanut butter though lol

Belle · Guru

Peanut butter is fattening because of the peanut element. I think chilly philly is less fattening.

dinkidi · Guru

And eating hot food is good for your metabolism, so I might go with the Chilly Philly and skip peanut butter !

khloekobe · Guru

@gunabe: yeah try eating celery it really helps a lot in burning calories.. :)

Gunabe · Senior Member

khloekobe thanks for the advice it's great, I went to the local fruit and vege and got celery & apples (top of the list) lettuce avocado capsicum beans zucchini brocoli and carrots...stir frys and salads coming up LOL and i cut the celery and apples up into a little bowl coz i'm lazy LOL and i'm eating them while i'm doing this, it's actually not bad, i'll skip the peanut butter to dinkidi LOL

khloekobe · Guru

your doing great gunabe.. what is your weigh in day? im excited to know.. I'm really happy to see people having great results.. :)

im eating celery right now.. lol!

hotbabe · Senior Member

i eat what i want to.. in moderation.. i don't starve myself, i don't deprive myself of chocs. hahaha/// i admit, everyday is cheat day for me.. but since i am taking acai, i don't eat much. my tummy always says NO. hahahha biggrin

and because i always drink water, i never felt so full and bloated. i believe, acai is working for me..
