Acai is calorie, fattening logo

"This is actually food rich in fat," confirms the nutritionist Letícia de Oliveira Cardoso, a professor of Maternal and Child Nutrition, Universidade Federal Fluminense. What makes it highly caloric. To get an idea, 100g of açaí equals 247 calories, 12g of which are due to lipid content. "It's also a good source of calcium and iron," says Leticia. Which means that in every 100g to consume, are 118mg of calcium - about 10% of the daily needs of a person - and 11.8 mg of iron.

"In the case of iron, however, the body absorbs only 6% of this amount," explains nutritionist. Which means that meat and offal are the best sources to get a type of iron most easily metabolized by the body. Açaí also contains good levels of thiamine, 360mcg, 10mcg and riboflavin - which is considered weak.

But before you want to enjoy the nutritional values of pulp dark earthy flavor, is good to keep in mind the advice of a nutritionist. Acai is caloric, so fattening. Sedentary people, who do not practice physical activities regularly, are likely to swell the silhouette. Even athletes need to take some precautions.


and acai is a scam anyhow I wished I fond out sooner =( be careful peoples. it doesn't do what it claims it does.

Hi there hyperkitty.. I assumed that you didn't lose any weight with acai.. Anyway, If acai is really a calorie, how come others still lose weight and I'm one of them.. :)

But anyways did you change your eating habbits and start to exercise when you got the acai/colon clense? Coz I think it was that than the tablets so please for the love of cats don't waste your money =). I posted an article that should explain things....

Hi again hyperkitty.. :)

Yup I do exercise and have a healthy or strict diet but that was during my first 3 weeks of using acai slim.. I'm taking a/s and c/c for almost 4months now and I loss weight.. I'm not really strict with my diet now and I seldom exercise but still I managed to lose some weight.. We have different perception and there are so many findings about ACAI out there, we really don't know which way to follow or who's saying the truth.. I think I will just stick with acai slim.. One thing I can assure you this is not a scam and my money is worth buying acai berry.. :) :) :)

I agree with kk, it is worth buying these pills.. although sometimes i'm getting no lost for certain week but that's because I'm overeating. lol!

I have to agree with KK because it started working for me from when I first started taking them. I am also a bit sick of people posting negative stuff on here...I think people  are going to try the product no matter what they read. It may work for some but not for others.

People spend billions of dollars on weight loss products every year and they will keep doing it, hoping for the miracle cure for weight loss confuse

Exactly spending money on a "miracle cure: and acai slim is not one of them...............which is better having fun with that money/paying off a mortage or acai pills that don't do the job? Also everyone here changed there eating and exercising habits too so i think its the lifestyle changes and not a $50 a bottle of acai pills that causing the weightloss. ^-^ Just saying; and I feel horrible that I fell for the acai thing I feel ripped of and used. =(Enjoy your food and how you look and the world won't blow up if your an 'X" number of kilos =P.

It has worked for me because I have tried to lose weight b4 and the acai slim has definitely helped me lose weight. Maybe if you cut down on your calories you to could lose weight. 

It is also very bad for your health to be overweight as I found out the hard way.


I'm happy with the acail slim product and don't feel ripped off.

I know I totally agree with you Loveme, I do count calories and exercise but I don't think I could have lost the weight with out the help of acai slim. I am sick of people bagging the product. I guess it doesn't work for every onesmile

Yeah, just like any other products (whether they are for weight loss, general medicine, etc.), not all work for every body. Thus, the birth of market competition. lol!

But am glad this product works for the majority. Only a few do not, which we're not sure if they are legit or are from other competitor companies disrupting us and trying to stir up things.

It was meant to, I thought people were getting a bit to serious so I was trying to defuse the situation a bit. Acai slim is still working for me. I'm amazed to be honest, I've had so much trouble losing weight in the past I didn't think it'd work.

Has anybody looked at this link? I have and it's a product called "Acai pure" and it is offered on a "free trial" basis but you have to pay $4.95 for delivery. That's how they get your credit card number and then they continue to charge you $68 a month thereafter. I wish people would do their research b4 putting this crap on here.

Obviously that brand of Acai berry had some other additive in it that caused those reactions to that person.  The other side of that is the constant billing, you really do need to read the fine print, nothing if for nothing in this world.

I was lucky I did something similar, lucky for me with only one email I managed to get them to stop the billing, and after they stopped, suprisingly (or not) their website did not work anymore.

I first read about the acai berry/colon cleanse on facebook and then somehow managed to stumble across this site. I must say I was bloody lucky to find it, I usually only have bad luck. Oh God it might be because I was born on the 13th.

Take note... Acai Slim is not the scam. It's the other Acai berry products you should be careful of. Especially those websites or companies that offer free trial.

How can it be a scam when so many people (not all) have lost weight?

I think it's not with the products at all. It's with the other companies (of course not Acai Slim) that continuously deduct credit cards when you get their free trial.

It actually says in the Acai Slim website under the FAQ section:

"Q: Is your site a scam?
A: No, our site is not a scam. We are based in Australia and we do not charge your credit card monthly like American companies do."

Why are you coming onto our forum if your not overweight. I have lost 21.5kg since I started taking acai slim in Septmer and I definately have not wasted my money.

 

Please crawl back under the rock that you came out of we do not need your negativity here.no

no you are missing the WHOLE contex how this whole situation. Basically its not a miracle cure, you are being ripped off and many of you have changed your lifestyle habits too. Sure it may have worked for some people and not others but it could just be a coincidental too and the colan cleanse gets rid of weight too but not FAT wieght just water/waste weight. It WAS the Lifestyle changes ppl, its suckage but it works and you don't throw away money. The End

I guess it doesn't really matter how we acheive our weight loss goals as long as it happens, if it takes a placebo effect to do that then so be it.

Whether it works for some people or whether they are changing lifestyle habits or whether it just works because you think it works, it doesn't matter, end of story, if it works then fantastic, if it doesn't you move on to try something else.

The End

I thought you're going to leave the forum hyperkitty? You already said what you want other people to know right? Anyway, As dinkidi said if these pills didn't work to you go on move on and try something else that will work for you.. :) I don't think saying bad things about this site will help you move on.. Good luck to you I hope you'll find a pill that will help you achieve your weight goal.. :)
