Native to Brazil, the acai berry is a small, round, fruit that resembles a grape. Dark purple in color, this berry, pronounced ah-sigh-ee, claims to have numerous health benefits including weight loss. As with any new diet program, please consult your doctor first.

Nutrition

Considered to be one of the 10 "superfoods,", or a food that contains disease-fighting nutrients, the acai berry contains healthy fats, dietary fiber, and protein, which all aid in weight management. The fiber content of acai helps supress appetite and the B vitamins increase energy. Once you purchase the Acai Health Diet supplement, you have access to an online nutrition program which maps out a healthy diet plan that complements the supplement.

Exercise

The Acai Health Diet highly recommends exercise in order to maximize weight loss results with the acai supplement. The purchase of the supplement includes access to an online exercise program and fitness tracker. The amino acids found in acai aid in strength and stamina while exercising.

Supplement

The Acai Health Diet supplement claims to provide faster results while dieting and exercising. The supplement is taken in capsule form. The product offers a money-back guarantee and purchase includes an e-book on weight loss tips and a visualization audio mp3.

Additional Benefits and Considerations

In addition to aiding in weight loss, acai berry also claims to lower blood pressure, improve digestion, promote better sleep, improve the immune system, decrease inflammation, and fight disease. However, in 2009, Oprah Winfrey and Dr. Mehmet Oz filed suit against several acai supplement companies who were using their names as endorsements for the products without permission. The Center for Science and Public Interest says there is no evidence acai actually aids in weight loss.
