Acai Berry Detox


What is the hype about Acai Berry Detox? Does it really work? Is it another fade diet/detox, such as Atkins, Jenny Craig, Slim Fast, Nutri-slim and South Beach diets. I'd really like to think that these diets are all catalyst to getting you started. Sticking to your diet to the end is the battle that many people face.

I went to a Whole Food Market this week and asked one of the employees working there about the Acai Berry Detox. I said "do you really think the Acai Berry Detox works", she said, "no another fade".

Millions or should I say billions of dollars each year are spent on fade diets. The woman in Rachel Ray's journal (Marie Johnson from Odessa, FL), said "Most people think that overweight people got that way because they are lazy. Truth is, many woman gain extra weight because of life. Kids, work, school, driving around running errands. It all takes time from our day. And it is all so exhausting. Which can cause us to eat a bit more than we need."

I don't agree with her at all. I think people gain weight because they are lazy. They don't press on and dig deep inside themselves to want to get up at 4:30-am and drive to the gym or run outside before going to work in the morning.

Face it most of us have kids, work, school, extra activities, but we must find the time to workout and eat healthy. If not, we will be like millions of Americans each day turning to fade diets. We need to make diet and exercise part of our life style. It is who we are!!

Don't get me wrong, I think that detoxifying your body periodical is healthy, but to say that the Acai Berry Detox will give you a flat stomach is pushing the envelope.
