Weight Loss Acai Style!

Acai berries are the latest weight loss fad in Winston-Salem, NC. These so called Super Foods that you take as a supplement to lose weight have been getting a lot of international attention. And like you have probably already seen; they are all over the internet in blogs and success stories of people who have apparently used the pills and lost a ton of weight. But we here at Health News 5 are a little skeptical and aren‘t sure that we‘ve seen any real proof that these pills work for weight loss. So we decided to put these products to the test. What better way to find out the truth than to conduct our own study?

To get started, I volunteered to be the guinea pig. I applied for a bottle of the Acai Optimum. While there are tons of Acai berry ads online, Acai Optimum is one of the most credible and trustworthy suppliers on the market. It included the free trial of the product and it did not try to fool me into agreeing to additional hidden offers. Another reason why I chose Acai Optimum is because it is the most concentrated and purest Acai products on the market. This would give me the most accurate results for my test.

One blogger from Winston-Salem claims to have lost 42 pounds in 2 months with Acai Optimum and Advanced Colon

Here is what Acai Optimum claimed on their website…

Up To 4 Times More Weight Loss than Standard Diets

Boosts Energy without the ‘jitters’

Burn Calories

Boost Immune System

Rich in Antioxidants

Were pretty skeptical, but wanted to find out for ourselves if this product could actually do everything that it claimed. Most of the success stories talk about combining Acai berry with colon cleansing products to achieve maximum weight loss. I decided to do the same. The idea behind combining the products is that while the Acai Berry encourages weight loss and increases energy, the colon cleanse helps rid your body of toxins and allows your body to work and burn calories more efficiently. I chose Advanced Colon to test.

Here is what Advanced Colon claimed on their website…

Helps Eliminate Bad Toxins that have built up over the Years

Removes ‘Sludge‘from the Walls of the Colon

Helps Get Rid of Gas and Bloating

Helps to Regulate the Metabolism

And the Advanced Colon, like the Acai Berry, had a free trial with a 100% satisfaction guarantee and had no hidden offers.

Putting Acai to the Test:

Both the Acai Optimum and Advanced Colon arrived within 4 days of having placed my order online for the trials.

The bottles I received held a month‘s worth of pills which worked out perfect as I was to follow the supplement routine for 4 weeks time and document my progress throughout

My Test 4 Week Acai Berry Diet: Acai Optimum + Advanced Colon

Take one Acai Optimum pill per day

Take one Advanced Colon pill per day

My Results:

Week One:

After one week on the diet using both products I was surprised at the dramatic results. My energy level was up, and I wasn‘t even hungry, an apparent side effect of the Acai Berry which curbs the appetite.

I honestly felt fantastic.

And I didn‘t even change anything about my daily routine. On day 7 I got on the scale and couldn‘t believe my eyes. I had lost 9 lbs. But I still wasn‘t convinced as they say you lose a lot of water at the beginning of any diet. I wanted to wait and see the results in the upcoming weeks. But it sure was looking up! I now weighed less than 140 pounds for the first time in years!

Week Two:

After two weeks of using both supplements, I started the week off with even more energy and was actually sleeping more soundly than before. I was no longer waking up during the night and tossing and turning because my body was actually able to relax (this is a result of getting rid of the toxins I think). Plus I still managed to lose another 7 pounds, putting me at an unbelievable 16 lbs of weight loss, in just 2 weeks.

I must admit that I‘m starting to believe that this diet is more than just a gimmick.

Week Three:

After 3 weeks all my doubts and skepticism had absolutely vanished! I am down, 2 full dress sizes, after losing another 6 pounds. And I still have a ton of energy. Quite often, around the third week of other diets, you tend to run out of steam. But with the Acai Optimum and Advanced Colon diet my energy levels don‘t dip, but remain steady throughout the day. I no longer need that cat nap around 3pm in the afternoon! And I am even noticing that my stomach is digesting food so much better. No bloating or embarrassing gas after I eat!

Week Four:

After the fourth week, my final results were shocking. I lost an unbelievable 25 lbs since starting the Acai Optimum and Advanced Colon diet! Actually everyone at Consumers Digest Weekly is kicking themselves for not having volunteered to be the guinea pig. Using the Acai Optimum and Advanced Colon in week 4 I lost 3 more pounds. But to be honest I really didn‘t have much more than that left to lose. And I am definitely going to continue taking the Acai Optimum afterwards because it has so many antioxidants and vitamins that make my skin look unbelievable.

I couldn‘t be any happier with the results.

I Lost 25lbs in 4 Weeks, No Special Diet, and No Intense Exercise

Conclusion:

 Like us, here at Health News 5, you might be a little doubtful about the effects of this diet, but you need to try it for yourself; the results are real. After conducting our own personal study we are pleased to see that people really are finding success with it (myself included :)  And you have nothing to lose. Follow the links to the free trials I have provided and know that you are getting a quality product that works; no strings attached!

Weight Loss? Acai Berry Miracle Diet or Scam?

Thursday, June 10th, 2010

Diana investigates the Acai Berry diet to find out for herself if this super diet works.

Acai berry combined with a Colon Cleanse are the latest weight loss miracles that are taking America by storm. These so called Super Foods that you take as a supplement to lose weight have been getting a lot of international attention. And like you have probably already seen; they are all over the internet in blogs and success stories of people who have apparently used the pills and lost a ton of weight. But we here at News 7 are a little skeptical and aren’t sure that we’ve seen any real proof that these pills work for weight loss. So we decided to put these products to the test. What better way to find out the truth than to conduct our own study?

To get started, I volunteered to be the guinea pig. I applied for a bottle of  Double Berry Blast (2x Acai Power). While there are ton’s of Acai berry ads online, Double Berry Blast (2x Acai Power) is one of the most credible and trustworthy suppliers on the market. It included a Free* Trial of the product and it did not try to fool me into agreeing to additional hidden offers. Another reason why I chose Double Berry Blast is because it is the most concentrated and purest Acai products on the market. This would give me the most accurate results for my test.

Women & Men around the world are claiming to have lost amazing amounts of weight in just 4 weeks while taking Acai Berry & cleansing.

Here is what Double Berry Blast claimed on their website…

  • Blast Calories
  • Burn Fat
  • Boost Energy
  • Rich in Antioxidants

We were pretty skeptical, but wanted to find out for ourselves if this product could actually do everything it an many of their customers have claimed. Most of the success stories talk about combining acai berry with colon cleansing products to achieve maximum weight loss. I decided to do the same. The idea behind combining the products is that while the Acai Berry encourages weight loss and increases energy, the colon cleanse helps rid your body of toxins and allows your body to work and burn calories more efficiently. I chose the popular RIO Cleanse to test.

Here is what RIO Cleanse claimed on their website…

  • Cleanse your body fast
  • Flush away bad toxins
  • Helps Get Rid of Gas and Bloating
  • Helps to Regulate the Metabolism

And RIO Cleanse, like the Double Berry Blast, had a Free* Trial with a 100% satisfaction guarantee and had no hidden offers.

Putting Acai to the Test

Both the Double Berry Blast (2x Acai Power) and RIO Cleanse arrived within 4 days of having placed my order online for the Free* Trials.

The bottles I received held 3 month’s worth of pills which worked out perfect as I was to follow the supplement routine for the first 4 weeks time and document my progress throughout.

My Test 4 Week Acai Berry Diet: Double Berry Blast + RIO Cleanse

My Results

Week One

After one week of using both Double Berry Blast & RIO Cleanse, I was surprised at the dramatic results. My energy levels were up, and I was not as hungry as I used to be all the time, an apparent side effect of these products which curbs the appetite.

I honestly felt fantastic!

I didn’t make any drastic changes to my lifestyle or daily routine.  On day 7 I got on the scale and couldn’t believe my eyes, I lost 6 lbs!  I was still not convinced as they say you lose a lot of water at the beginning of any diet program.  I wanted to wait and see the results in the upcoming weeks before I got too excited, but it sure was starting out great!

Week Two

After two weeks of using the supplements & following the instruction manuals, I had even more energy than I did in week 1 and I was actually sleeping more soundly than ever before.  I was no longer waking up during the night and tossing and turning because my body was actually able to relax (this is a result of getting rid of the toxins I think). Plus I still managed to lose a 2 more pounds, allowing me to lose more weight than I ever had in the past with any other diet or weigh loss program, all in just 2 weeks!

I must admit that at this point I was starting to believe that this Acai Berry & RIO Cleanse secret is more than just a gimmick.  The philosophies and teachings they shared with me in the instruction manual were starting to really sink in with me, both mentally & spiritually.  I was starting to really look at life in a different way.  I was excited to start each day with a fresh new start and I was more committed to my health than ever before, I was shocked with how I was now thinking more positively & had a new grown excitement for life.

Week Three

After 3 weeks all my doubts and skepticism had absolutely vanished! At this point I was down 2 full dress sizes after losing even more weight. By now I had been meditating every single day and had a new sense of clarity and stillness in my life that was never there before.   On top of that, I still had a ton of energy!  Quite often, around the third week of other diets, you tend to run out of steam.  With the Double Berry Blast & RIO Cleanse system combination, my energy levels did not dip, they remained steady throughout the day, every day.  This is because they teach you how to change your lifestyle for the better, so you don’t have to diet.  I still ate all the foods I used to eat, I simply practiced better portion control.  Because of this, I no longer needed to take my normal “cat nap” around 4pm in the afternoon!  I even noticed that my stomach seemed to be digesting food a lot better.  No more bloating or embarrassing gas after I eat!

Week Four

After the fourth week, my results were shocking.   I felt amazing both inside and out, and that is what is most important.  I lost an amazing 12 lbs of weight since starting this test study!  Actually everyone at News 7 is kicking themselves for allowing me to claim both Double Berry Blast & RIO Cleanse as my products to test!  When taking the pills each day & following the instructions within the systems, in week 4 I lost 3 more pounds.  But to be honest I really didn’t have much more than that left to lose.  The philosophies they taught me are now a regular part of my life. Every single day, I make time to meditate, take walks to connect with nature and drink more water throughout the day.  I feel amazing.  I am definitely going to continue taking both Double Berry Blast and RIO Cleanse because they have so many antioxidants and vitamins that makes my skin look unbelievable.  I couldn’t be any happier with the results.

I couldn’t be any happier with the results.
I Lost 12 lbs in 4 Weeks, No Special Diet,
and No Intense Exercise
 

Conclusion

Like us, here at News 7, you might be a little doubtful about the effects of this diet, but you need to try it for yourself; the results are real. After conducting our own personal study we are pleased to see that people really are finding success with it (myself included :) ). And you have nothing to lose. Follow the links to the Free* Trials I have provided and know that you are getting a quality product that works; no strings attached!

Acai Weight Loss! Home Weight Loss for Teens and Younger!

Saturday, June 5th, 2010
No Gravatar

Yes there are more young overweight kids, 5 to 12 yrs old, now than 60 years ago.  Sad as it is, some of those overweight kids carry their weight problems all the way to their adulthood.  When I was a kid there were no McDonalds and other fast food establishments. 

We walked everywhere schools, stores etc.  If you were fortunate you owned a bike and could peddle yourself all over the place. We had no computer hand held games to sit down all day and play. All kids had chores in their own house that had to be complete before going out to play. 

We played rough and hard and ran most of the time.  There were about 25 kids on our block where we lived. Funny, there was only one overweight kid on our block.  He did not like playing and running and riding his bike with the other kids.  Yup he sat home eating and snacking all day. Yup he carried his weight right into adulthood and beyond.  He was a victim of lack of exercise and overeating.

Everyone, including teens and younger, needs to look at their health situation and ask do you want to remain overweight?  If you do not do anything now then you are headed toward obesity and morbidly obesity.  Your body will gradually develop diseases and you will become a causality of our modern world attitudes, processed foods, and lack of exercise.

Water:
Wonderful water.  Yes our creator gave us wonderful water to drink and nourish our body.  Water is perfect for hydrating, removing toxins and various poisons from the body.  Yes everyone needs to drink more water or freshly made juice.  The soda and soft drinks in your refrigerator are hurting your health and making the suppliers rich at your health expense.  Are these suppliers concerned with your health?  NO!  A juice blender in the home will encourage making healthful vegetable and fruit drinks for your good health. Purchase a complete case of bottled water and keep the water handy for all to take.  Take bottled water to school and work instead of sodas and soft drinks.  You will find that fresh made juice will actually decrease hunger and produces very little calories.  Avoid shake and smoothie drinks.

 Processed Foods:

Let us get serious and throw out all frozen meals, processed food packages, including diet foods you may have .  Processed foods are loaded with excessive preservatives, salt and sugar.  They are not good for your health and will pack on the pounds.  What these foods do is trigger and increase your hunger pangs so you wind up eating more than you should and start packing on the pounds. Start purchasing fresh produce and fresh fruits instead for the largest of your food intake.  Do not forget the saying that is so true – You are what you eat! Buy fresh produce and meats and cook at home!

Nutrition:
Good nutrition always starts at home.  Buy fresh foods and meats and cook at home.  I see so many mothers take their kids to the fast food establishments and spend lots of money.  The kids get chucked full of chicken nuggets and they start putting on the pounds early in life.  Home cooking has become a forgotten pastime.  Poor overweight health and bad eating habits are rampant today. These habits are learned at home while the child is young and are carried right into adulthood.  You have to keep this in mind. Mothers need to take a good, hard and honest look at what her entire family is eating. Teens and under learn their eating habits from what they see at home. Get rid of the potato chips and provide nutritious fresh fruit and vegetables.

Exercise:
Your teens and under need to exercise.  The body needs to move and work for good health. You could go for walks with your children in the park or around where you live. Walking is the perfect health producing exercise and costs nothing. You parents can influence your children toward bike riding or learning to skateboard.  Some like to play base ball, basketball, hockey, football etc.  Do not let them experience the modern day sitting death sentence.

Weight Loss? What Happened to The DNA Health Test? 5 Reasons!

Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010
No Gravatar

Whoa! Now what?  Frankenstein’s DNA health laboratory is closed to the public before it got started. No there will not be available at this time for all people to purchase their new personal health DNA test packages.  These health DNA test packages were developed to aid people in their own health prognosis and prevention of possible future diseases etc.  Yes supposedly you can discover if you will have a possible future health problem and be able to thwart its onset.  Pretty neat right?

This health DNA test could help those who are overweight, obese and morbidly obese.  This home health test package offers identification of genetic probabilities and possible disarranged cell structure for all sorts of diseases like cancer, heart, and others. Yes it provides your own DNA structure makeup for health analysis. 

A health DNA analysis of your DNA structure can provide incite as to your DNA health that is now or may occur as time goes along.  What are the chances of you becoming obese, developing cancer or heart disease etc.?  Are you already overweight, obese, or morbidly obese then this could identify DNA areas needing correction.  Great stuff right?

The test also claims to offer a window into the chances of becoming obese, developing psoriasis and going blind etc. For those thinking of starting a family, it could alert them to their risk of having a baby with cystic fibrosis and other genetic disorders etc. The test could also help users on how cholesterol-lowering drugs, caffeine and blood thinners might affect their health.

OK!  Now what is the problem?  Why is Walgreens holding back and not providing the Health DNA test packages. Well there a variety of reasons.  We will examine some of the concerns.

Reason #1

The new test packages were being provided to the general public through the “Walgreens” stores.  The company “Pathway Genomics” produced the test packages and was ready to provide them to the general public.  However the good old long arm of “BIG BROTHER” the FDA had not put and has not put its stamp of approval on the new DNA health products. 

Reason #2

Several groups have raised concerns noting that such tests offer incomplete information. They say DNA results about disease risk etc. and more so for incurable diseases should only be done with professional health counseling and not with a home test kit.

Reason #3          

Today’s health professionals and DNA developers themselves have a very limited knowledge of genes that contribute to diseases, such as heart disease, cancer, or diabetes etc. DNA information is much less effective compared with family history in calculating a person’s chance of developing these diseases.

Reason #4

How to use this health DNA test and interpret, regulate and guard against abuse is still up in the air. The new tests come as a challenge to bioethicists, geneticists, doctors, patients and yes the federal regulators. The fear is that this will open up a whole new can of worms that will spin out of control.

Reason #5

What if the test indicated that an individual was OK and not at any health risk?  The claim is that such test results could give many buyers a dangerous false sense of security.  Then the other side of the coin would be needless alarm and living in an impending health fear. The results however could encourage people to adopt healthful lifestyles and avoid personal health carelessness and risks. There is un-comfortableness as to the manner that the public will properly use the DNA health test.

There are a lot more objections, questions and reasons from all kinds of individuals, groups and agency’s putting a squash on the private home DNA tests.  There is much concern about moral, ethical, confidentiality and willful misuse issues of the public health DNA tests.  For weight loss we need to take charge of our own situation and use the tried and true methods available.  Acai is a good solution for natural weight loss.

 To your weight loss success, health and happiness,
