You may have been hearing a lot about the acai berry. And rightly so. Not only is this berry one of the best sources of anti-oxidants known to man, it is tasty, juicy and nutritious.
It has caught the eye of a number of publications and celebrities, too. Sources as diverse as Oprah, Dr. Perricone and the New York Times are all extolling the virtues of the acai diet, fuelled by this powerful acai berry. And with good reason: the acai berry has 10 times the anti oxidant power of red grapes, and twice that of the other natural super food, blue berries.
Look out for acai berry muffins in your local shops. When I find an acai diet that includes acai muffins then I’ll be in heaven! Not likely though, methinks.
An acai diet is still a diet and the acai diet requires just as much discipline as other diets. The difference is that an acai diet makes healthy living and losing weight so much more pleasurable and so much easier. This is a little fruit with a lot to answer for!
If you are going to go and grab yourself some acai berries — and why not? — be sure to stay away from the pills and powders offered by some vendors. Nasty and nowhere near as good as the real thing!
