Acai Detox

I was wondering if anyone has done the acai detox pills? And if they really helped. Just looking for something to start losing weight with and heard it was important to take off water weight and do a colon cleanse.

Also you are already down 12lb. Why change what your doing?

Anything that says detox is probably useless
That said, it probably wouldn't hurt to add some Acai to your diet. I love smoothies with acai berry personally, and they're high in antioxidants, which is always good (about the only 'detox' effect that's real, but won't help you lose weight, just be healthier in general)

The only thing a detox cleans out is your wallet.

Completely agree!!!!

Detoxes/Cleanses are a scam! Please read below

NO! Read this and stop the Detox Nonsense!
From Harvard Medical school about cleansing and detoxes.....



"The body’s own detox system

We tend to forget that the body is equipped with a detoxification system of its own, which includes the following:

The skin. The main function of the body’s largest organ is to provide a barrier against harmful substances, from bacteria and viruses to heavy metals and chemical toxins.

The respiratory system. Fine hairs inside the nose trap dirt and other large particles that may be inhaled. Smaller particles that make it to the lungs are expelled from the airways in mucus.

The immune system. This exquisitely orchestrated network of cells and molecules is designed to recognize foreign substances and eliminate them from the body.

The intestines. Peyer’s patches — lymph nodes in the small intestine — screen out parasites and other foreign substances before nutrients are absorbed into the blood from the colon.

The liver. Acting as the body’s principal filter, the liver produces a family of proteins called metallothioneins. Metallothioneins neutralize harmful metals like lead, cadmium, and mercury to prepare for their elimination from the body. Liver cells also produce groups of enzymes that regulate the metabolism of drugs and are an important part of the body’s defense against harmful chemicals and other toxins.

The kidneys. The fact that urine tests are used to screen for drugs and toxins is a testament to the kidneys' remarkable efficiency in filtering out waste substances and moving them out of the body."

From whom? Someone selling this sham products perhaps?

Anyone who tells you that you need to cleanse your colon is either an idiot or a charlatan.........
