Nah, it was on Oprah, but she's never done the diet before. I guess it was just advertised by someone that was on her show...if you go to her site, it says that "in no way does Oprah or Harpo Productions condone the Acai Berry yadda yadda yadda..."

My parents sell Moavie the acai berry juice that comes in a pretty wine bottle.

They said I could have one bottle to try it out..i think they wanted my money. lol.. ok so i didn't drink it like i was supposed to because I kept forgetting. But I drank it like every other day. I didn't see any changes. Nothing really. Im sure it helped in subtle ways. I don't think i was ever constipated or lacking killing off free radicals or stuff like that.


They still take it and swear by it. They say its gonna slow down their aging and stuff. I joked that one day they will find out its the cause of cancer. just playing. I don't think they liked that very much.

I also saw some acai berry in tablets at the local store. in the supplement section for $7-9 dollars. seems cheaper if you want to test it out. Of course its only that berry. The monavie drink adds like 6 or 7 other things to it to make it complete "miracle juice"

But I can't knock it. Speaking of fiber i think i need more in my diet..

"um..parents can i take one of your bottles?"

just kidding. more greens!!

I tried the acai berry diet. No it did not work, plus it was very expensive 186.00 per month for all you needed to take

Default I WORKS---seriously

I was very skeptic at first but when i tried the free trial i was surprised. It does work. I lost 20 pounds in 3 weeks Its a really good product and it never gave me any side effects but it depends on the person. SERIOUSLY try the product

Default Acai Berry

I ordered some and it was a total waste of money. I was a member of slimming world so I was reducing the amount of fat I was eating anyway, and I was only using 1lb a week which I was loosing before taking the tablets. I also tried the Colon Cleanser when it came and was scared as I have seen things about it making you go to the toilet more often but it did not work on me at all. I'm sure my body is not made out of steel so how come it did not work for me? Apart from that I noticed monthly amounts coming out of my account and I'm not receiving anything. I have had to cancel my bank account and report the amount as fraud. I received a package today from China with no return address on it, how convenient!

Hey im planning to purchase the acai berry and colon cleanse products but was wondering if there is an actual program you are supposed to follow for it, because im more interested in the detoxifying and cleansing results, rather than the weight loss.
thx

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE READ!

take my advice DO NOT buy the acai berry online! it is all scams! happend to my mother and i...we were set up on an automatic shipping system and the customer service number that they gave us to call was a fake. we actually both ended up calling out banks in order to stop the shipment/charge fees.

now about the product itself; the acai berry is extremly good for you! it gives you loads of energy and it is filled with antioxidents. i tryed both the kind online (THE SCAM) and also tried the pure juice. I did feel an increase in my energy levels, but it did not aid in my weight loss. i became dispointed with it and discontinued its use.

but in conclusion, if you want to try it great! but please DO NOT ORDER ONLINE!

I will agree, do not buy these products online from any of the "FREE TRIAL" sites. If you have questions about a company, go to ripoffreport.com and type in the company or product name. If you do this with "Nature Cleanse" you will see hundreds of reports, two of which are mine. After ordering the free trial, a man called me the next day and told me their website was down and he'd need my card info to process the shipping charge. I told him no, and to cancel the free trial order. He said ok. Days later, I got the free trial in the mail even though I had canceled. I called him back. He said he couldn't help me and gave me a customer service number. The number did not work, so I called him back. He hung up on me. Then I called the Customer Service # again and it worked (weird huh) and took me to an automated system that said if I wanted to cancel my free trial I'd have to enter in my card info. I declined. Canceled my card and learned a major lesson.
I bought a bottle of acai juice for 10 dollars at the local Vitamin Shoppe. Along with that, I take one teaspoon of spirulina a day. There are lots of good health food stores around.....in cases like this, it's always better to buy local than off the net. Many of these places are total scam artists.

Now I have this bottle of colon cleanse and suppose I'll toss it in the trash. If it comes from a company that crooked....I'm scared to take their product.
