I take the Acai berry in the juice form (Monavie) but NOT for weight loss. I take it for overall health which, in my case, has improved tremendously.

I just read about 10 reviews saying that the companies offering a $1 "free trial" are really scammers who will save your credit card number, give it to other companies, not stop the subscriptions that you're automatically signed up for upon getting the free trial, not sending the pills ... the works.
Take great care in where you punch in your credit card number on the internet. It's all too easy to set up a scam and all too difficult to convince your bank that it is one. Buying a similar product at a store would be much safer.

if so, what did happen? I mean did you loose weight any side affects to be worried about?

one of the girls that you see advertising acia berry/colon cleanse has a pic of her before and after and she writes how much weight she lost bla bla bla well that same girl is also in the ad for wuyi tea system weight loss witch is also oolong tea but she also has the same before and after pics and a story how she lost wait with wuyi tea so i think the acia berry/colon cleanse and wuyi tea are probably a scam.

I have seen this all over the internet and its ture most of the online places are scams they will sell your info to anyone els some places do keep sending you things.
i have talked to a health care worker and she told me that colon clense was not to be used to lose weight as its bad for you to take all the time if u dont have bathroom trouble when u use a colon cleanser your poop muscles dont have to work as hard so they get unused and u can start to lose your bowel controll and she also warned that if u use it to much then your food is not properly digested and that is why you think your losing weight instead of being procesed and then expelled your body expells it faster than it proceses it (so your body does not have the regular time to turn it into fat for energy or extra fat that your body stores) i dont want to try any of those things also

my sister-in-law tried one she bought at a local store and it did not have a lot of warnings on the box but she seen that u can lose fat fast she took it as directed for a week im not sure how often or what ever but she had no fun she felt sickly and had to go all day long and had to stay close she figured after the first week it would slow down but it was like having the 'runs as long as she took it

now that could have been just what happend to her but it might not be like that for anyone els but i would not try this i would be carefull and be very carfull of scams

Default acai berry and colon cleanse

Don't order these off the internet. You can easily get both of these by just going to Walmart, Rite Aid, GNC, Walgreen's, etc. GNC is a lot higher than everybody else. Walmart has the best price.

The acai berry is about $7 - 10 depending on the strength and number of capsules. It's about the same price range for the colon cleanse.

If you have problems finding it, just ask the pharmacist. She took me straight to it.

So far, it has been about a 2-3 lb weight loss this week, but I have a sedentary job and I think I would do better if I exercise more. You do have to go to the bathroom more.

Well, one ting is sure, if you are going to buy something online you have to read the conditions. Usually, when they give you something free you buy a subscription and they give you the first week free for example. I tried this pills and I liked them but I think they are very expensive (for my pocket). I ordered them for free in once they arrived I called to their company to be sure I haven't any subscription with them. Of course I hadn't any problem.
Combine them with exercise and a healthy diet.

I have to agree with Sharp 18.

I have been taking the Natural Harvested Acai Berry from Walmart for 2 months now. It is $8 a bottle. I also bought the Wii Fit at the same time.

Now, while I started off great with the Wii Fit, I must admit I have been slacking lately. The Wii Fit does work and it is great.

I however never fail to take the Acai Berry. It took about 2 weeks to start showing results. But then I was losing about a pound a dayat first. And now that I don't have as much to lose, I lose about 2-3lbs a week.

In 2 months, I have lost a total of 23lbs and a TON of inches!!!

There is no reason to pay the extra and go thru the hassle of ordering from these possible scam companies. Just get the natural stuff, try it, commit to it and see it it helps you!!

I feel GREAT!!!
