Another Acai Berry Scam:

First, Let me introduce myself. My name is Jason Amigliore, CSCS and I have over 13 years in the health and fitness field, so there is not much that has happened that I haven't seen or done. The good people at MYFitnessChannel.com have asked me to lend my experience and words of wisdom(if you really what to call it that) to their blog. I hope to come around once or twice a month to rant(for lack of a better word) about current topics in the news, about health and fitness or any topic that pops into my head. So without any further suspense.

You can't really miss it on the Internet, we have all seen the ads. Seems like everywhere you look there's another company promoting the nutritious Acai Berry as a weight loss miracle. Just take this Acai Berry pill or juice and you will lose weight without changing your lifestyle.

Well, I call BULLSH**.

Just to make sure you know how I feel on the subject. BullSH**.

You know as well as I do, not to believe you're going to pop some pills - ANY pills - and have the pounds and inches melt off like magic. It just doesn't work that way. You know true permanent fat loss comes from following two major principles: Exercise and Proper Nutrition.

Exercise-we are talking no nonsense, high intensity weight training and high intensity-short interval cardio.

Nutrition-shut your pie hole, but I digress. Eat lean proteins, non-starchy carbs and healthy, essential fats in the right proportions.

(more on these topics in future rants)

Don't get me wrong, the Acai Berry contains VERY powerful antioxidants and it is getting a lot of good press for that very reason. Yes, antioxidants as in the extraordinary nutrients that help fight the free radicals associated with aging, cancer risk and other degenerative diseases. So should you be taking Acai Berry as part of your nutritional support for your body? Sure, every bit may help. Just don't think or be fooled into thinking that taking Acai Berry alone without adhering to a sound exercise/nutrition regimen is going to get you that permanent fat loss you are looking for.
