    Im not fat. I never click on banner ads. But this one got me. I don't know why, whether it was the cartoonish nature of the ad, or what.

    In either case, I clicked, so now I'm curious, does it really work or is it a load of crap. I'm 6'1, 185 - wouldn't mind losing 10 pounds.

    Here's what it links you to: http://www.dailynews7.com/health/Britney-lose-weight.html

    It's an Acai Max Cleanse + Colon Cleanse diet.

    My motto has always been: never believe in internet ads.

    Besides, why worry about that when you can enlarge your penis by 6 inches by taking a few pills?

    Ah, more like those sites are the biggest scams out there.

    google "acai scam" and you'll see

    Acai Berry Scams!

    There are two Acai Berry scams that I know of right now that you need to watch out for. I may be using the term "scam" a little strongly but I need to still advise you of how people are being taken advantage of.

    Acai Berry Pyramid Scheme

    The first is an Acai Berry pyramid scheme that you must pay a lot of money upfront to get into the program to sell Acai Berry juice, Acai Berry pills or even some kind of organic extract. The purpose of these programs are to get you to go and recruit other people into the program in which you would earn a referal one.

    The people making the real money on these type of multi-level marketing schemes Acai deals or the ones on top of the pyramid scheme. There are variations of this type of program and you need to read the fine print.

    Not all MLM programs are scams. There a legitimate Acai Berry MLM money making opportunities available, you just need to do your research before signing up or buying anything from anyone in these type of programs.

    Free Acai Berry Pills?

    There are a few sites out there with free Acai Berry offers if you just pay for shipping and handling.

    What you might not understand about these companies is that when you order a free bottle of Acai pills, you are actually signing up into a trial program that will send you out more pills that you will eventually be billed for.

    A lot of people skip reading the fine print and just sign up, or they forget about it after a few months and then realize they have been charged up to hundreds of dollars in some cases.

    The thing is, the Acai Berry is certainly an amazing health benefit, and getting a free bottle of acai pills may be an excellent idea. You just need to make sure you understand what you are signing up for.

    In most cases people do continue to be a part of the Acai supplement program because they experience the benefits of what the Acai has to offer. You just need to watch out for misleading websites or really small print before signing up for anything.

    Most importantly, if you do not want to be billed, remember to cancel your membership.

    6'1 and 185 lbs is already thin to be losing weight, unless you have very little muscle.


    Don't fall for acai berry. Just cutting the processed carbs, alcohol and eat more vegetables and lean meats. No calorie counting neccessary.

    I recently lost 25 pounds doing that, but allowing 2 "cheat days" a week where I'd eat a normal 2200-2500.

    If you reduce your caloric intake by 500 calories a day, you'll lose a pound a week.

    1500 calories a day can't be healthy, catabolism is guaranteed. That's where your muscles become broken down for energy, resulting in that "skinny fat" look. There's plenty of calculators online that will give you a good estimate of how many calories your body burns daily, its "basal metabolic rate" and then create a 500 calorie deficit from that.

    yeah, im not super interested in losing weight or anything, just had never even heard of an acai berry diet. sounded strange. glad to know it's bs...like it sounds!

    also, yes, very little muscle! used to be different, but too old and busy to weight train anymore.

    There's a limit to cutting calories. But 1500-1600 is the recommended minimum for men (shouldn't go below that). I think it's 1200 for women.

    And with me, I accounted for the calories I was burning at the gym. So it was more like I was eating 1750 and burning 250 on the treadmill.

    cut intake by 250 and burn an additional 250 each day. You'll drop weight.
