anyone tried these tablets?

ive been thinking of going on diet tablets for quite a while now - just to help a little bit more with my weightloss, as its very very very slowly atm, and im doing lots of excercise! =/

i know alot of people have mixed views on diet tablets. but alls i wanna know is if there any good, thats all. i dont want to read paragraphs of nonsense about them. its soo late too read alot (11:15pm)

just keep it short and sweet of your views about Acai Berry supplements and if there worth it or not :)

thanks in advanced x

    My opinion is that it's a fad.

    I take acai but not for weight loss. I haven't read anything that says it truly aids in weightloss. Just for the superfood benefits. Do your research on acai. Most "acai" is flavored, made from seeds, or inappropriately prepared and stored.

    I won't touch anything that isn't pure freeze dried acai berry pulp and skin. The powder should be a very dark purple. It is available if you look for it.

    Back to the OP

    Acai berries have been demonstrated to have anti-oxidant capabilities, much like many other berries. The quality of supplements varies widely, you can get the same (or better) by including real berries (blueberries, raspberries) in your diet.

    I've tried Acai berry tablets and find they work. I brought some at the beginning of the year and lost 8lbs in the first week without really doing anything. :) I plan to get some more soon as I stopped for a while. It all depends really. I got mine from eBay for about £4, they were extreme strength type ones. :)

    I take Acai Berry tablets at a high strength too, I will get it straight that i DIDNT get them to aid weight loss, i simply take them for their antioxidant levels. I've certainly not lost any weight through taking these tablets, as my weight loss has not speeded up since taking them.

    Good healthy diet, plenty of water & exercise is the way forward. :)

    It is not a fad and they do work but you have to diet and exercise along with it.

    They give you more energy, therefore increasing your metabolism. I've been taking them for a while now, and I am so much more energetic.

    They definitely work. They are a super-food so of course they will assist you in your weight loss.

    Good luck

    Short and sweet answer.. they do nothing. These is no study (that I'm aware of) that supports weight loss claims. If people know of some studies which do support the claims, post them up here. I'd like to read them.

    annafonte :

    So is the the supplement that is doing the weight loss or the diet and exercise?

    how do they give you energy?
    I've been taking them for a while now, and I am so much more energetic.

    Great for you but one person doesn't make a clinical trial do they?

    I find that they just give you an energy boost, I have not lost any weight because of them. They are really only good as an antioxident. I wondering whether to stop taking them because of the caffeine in them.
