Has anyone heard of this fruit called Acai Berry? They claimed this thing may helps "flattens" you tummy. I like to hear your words on this.

it's ok as a food supplement, but as far as weight loss, it's more hype then fact

I am not sure if the acai berry has helped me lose weight or not. I lost 20 lbs in the last year but I also became a vegetarian (again) at the beginning of 2010. I can say that shortly after starting to consume a supposedly 'good' brand of acai berry juice daily, I noticed my skin looked much clearer and vibrant. This could be due to cutting meat out of my diet, since I did start both at around the same time. It could also be a combination effect. I have since read all I could find, both for and against the benefits or lack thereof, of the acai berry. Many of the claims are inflated and there are also a lot of companies passing off inferior juices, claiming all kind of bizarre benefits. Most of it is hype. I think it is important to research any form of acai berry juice to make sure it is legit and contains enough of the substance to warrant consumption. My personal opinion is that the berry does have benefits.

This acai diet was all over the internet last year with big flashy blogs that rolled on for several pages before getting to the nitty gritty which was that 'Acai may help you diet' but the cost was about $45 a month.
The Acai Diet scam bubble seems to have died a natural death.
