Thanks to a feature on the Oprah Winfrey Show, the Acai Berry Diet has exploded in popularity. Acai berries seem to be everywhere and in everything. Acai is a berry that is harvested from an Amazonian palm tree and is touted by Dr. Perricone as the next big superfood. Concentrated and packed with antioxidants, an Acai Diet seeks to help you lose weight by providing your body with the nutrients, fiber and vitamins that it needs so that you can eat less calorie dense foods.
Step 1
Use whole acai berries undiluted by sugar and preservatives if you enjoy the flavor. You can buy them in fresh, frozen or dried form, and add them to some of your favorite foods to increase the amount of nutrients you get. Add it to granola bars or cereal, or on top of muffins and quick breads. Acai is meant to help rid your bodies of toxins, according to DietsInReview.com, so adding it to foods you already eat is a beneficial way to eat acai berry.
Step 2
Choose liquid or pureed acai berry if you plan to lose weight via meal replacement smoothies and drinks. Acai berry juice can be added easily to a smoothie so that you are getting the full benefit of the acai berry and its nutritional properties; you can still use meal replacements to consume less calories and lose weight overall. Choose an acai berry smoothie for breakfast and lunch, and then eat a sensible dinner for an easy diet plan.
Step 3
Try acai berry caplets three times per day if you don't like the flavor of the acai berries. You can still get the full benefit of the acai berry diet without sacrificing the foods that you love. You should still embark on a low calorie diet while taking acai berry capsules; you just don't need to add acai berries to the foods that you like in order to reap the benefits. According to EveryDiet.org, taking an acai capsule before meals can help reduce your appetite so that you eat less overall.
Step 4
Assess the acai berry diet after a month of eating acai berry in any form. Diet reviews are mixed, so you won't know how it will affect your weight loss until you try it for a month at least. If you seem to be losing weight, or even feel increased health and vitality, then it is worth it to continue.
