Oprah sure is a popular—I guess that goes without saying. She talks about Acai Weight loss on her show, and all of a sudden you can’t go five minutes without hearing about this mystical, magical berry.
But is there a real connection between Acai berries and weight loss? Or is it just this year’s new fad?
It’s more complicated than a simple yes or no answer. Let’s take a look at the facts:
• The Acai berry is a bitter fruit that originates from Brazil. The “c” is soft, so Acai is pronounced, ah-sigh.
• Acai berries have very high levels of antioxidant—much more than blueberries, the first antioxidant fruit to be marketed as such. The berry also contains fiber, “healthy” fats, and vitamins and minerals that are good for you.
• The health claims made about the Acai berry are due primarily to its antioxidant properties. Antioxidants help our bodies get rid of free radicals, or by-products, of the oxygen used by our cells. Oxidative damage can be linked to diabetes, heart disease and even cancer, so any food high in antioxidants would lower those risks.
• The health benefits of the Acai berry can be gotten by eating the fruit or by drinking the juice. (It is also said that the pulp is the most nutritious part.)
• The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has found no evidence that the Acai berry aids in weight loss.
• Oprah did not talk about any one Acai-based product, nor does she endorse any currently on the market; she simply talked about its health benefits.
• Acai berry juice, like all fruit juices, is high in calories and (natural) sugar.
• Acai as a dietary supplement can be successful. But, the term “dietary supplement” has a nutritional definition, not a weight loss one. The purpose of a dietary supplement is to give your body the vitamins and minerals it may be lacking; it doesn’t mean it will help you lose weight.
• Acai pills and other concentrated forms of the fruit are not meant to be taken “alone” – meaning, you can’t pop an Acai pill and then sit down to a double cheeseburger.
The final verdict is this: While a weight loss plan that includes Acai is a great one, it’s not meant to be a substitute for a healthy, low-calorie diet and consistent exercise. There is no such thing as a true “Acai weight loss” pill, powder or juice.
