The Reasons Oprah Endorses Acai Berry For Weight Loss

By John Gephart
There is no doubt that celebrity endorsements move products. Perhaps the biggest endorser around today is Oprah Winfrey. Recently, she has showered praise on a new type of supplement. Because of her very public weight battles, people figure she knows what she's talking about when it comes to weight loss.

So when she recommended a weight loss supplement, people got very excited. The product she endorsed was acai berry as a weight loss supplement. It is completely natural and therefore safe and comes with no side effects.

Dr. Perricone exposed Oprah to this weight reduction secret and named it as one of ten must have superfoods. The food that at the top of the list was a derivative of the amazing berry. His conclusions about acai come after many tests and a lot of research was done by him and his staff.

While getting acai berries fresh is probably the best form of it, it is nearly impossible to do unless you are in Brazil. The rest of the world must rely on juices, powders, and supplements.

While there are numerous health benefits associated with the fruit, by far the most popular is weight loss. It helps with weight loss in several ways. First, it is loaded with fiber so it helps your body naturally pass food through your system faster. Second, it naturally raises your metabolism. Third, it is a very effective appetite suppressant.

Losing as much as five pounds a week is not unheard of when taking acai berry supplements and combining it with an otherwise healthy lifestyle. The berries are so loaded with good stuff that they can actually act as a meal replacement.

It is also loaded with several forms of antioxidants and is very high in protein. Oprah was responsible for bringing acai berries to the country's attention but the craze and demand for them has taken on a life of it's own. The increased energy and decrease in appetite are addicting and the word is rapidly spreading.

Just make sure to choose a quality acai product!

Unfortunately, many acai products out there use inferior sources of acai like the seeds or non freeze dried pulp. The effectiveness of these products are much less than that of quality products.
