Not that acai is a bad thing, it’s great for all those poor people in the Amazon that get their nutrients from it; but now it has become too expensive for them due to our demand for it as a “weight loss miracle.”
Acai is not, I repeat, is NOT a “weight loss miracle” any more than blueberries are a weight loss miracle. In fact, the average antioxidant capacity is lower than pomegranate or blueberries. Sure, weight by weight compared to other proteins it’s very high in protein, and quite nutritious, and sure, if you go on the same diet of acai mush that the people in the Amazon live on you are going to lose weight. lol. There is no McDonald’s in the Amazon, folks.
But why shell out a fortune for dubious pills and expensive juices and so forth? Even the frozen mush, if you can find it at a health market, it going to take a chunk out of your wallet. You can get the same protein and better antioxidants in more commonly available foods at a much better price.
There’s no such thing as a cure for being fat, other than reducing your intake and upping your output.. that’s it, there’s no other secret or miracle. Eating good, nutritious food is extremely important in losing and maintaining that loss. I saw a tv show once where a lady had lost 100lbs just eating popcorn and drinking beer (and I guess, taking some sort of vitamin supplement, lol); but fad diets are short term solutions. If you’ve been a fatty for a while, you know just how easy it is to gain everything back plus more from a fad diet.
The Acai Scam
Oprah is always getting suckered for some sort of scam. This time it’s acai fruit.
