Internet Hoopla
I have read a lot of internet testimonials, and doctor recomendations about this Acai and Colon Cleanse combo being a fantastic weight loss 'booster'. I just wanted to see if anyone hd an opinion about it.
I was thinking of trying it on my own by purchasing pure Acai juice (30,000 IU per one fluid ounce), Green Tea extract (PURE form by Gaia), and a colon cleanse (so many to choose from).
Anyone out there have an opinion on this or has tried this sort of thing already? I don;t want to 'waste' my money if I don't have to, even though putting Acai in the body isn;t a waste even if it's only for the antioxidants.

I agree with Stefa
Quick fixes never work in the long run. Drink more water, and keep active. Watch those carbs!

Long fix, but real internet testimonials, finally!
Losing weight over a long period of time seems to really work well in the long term. This woman lost 90 lbs over 4 years and goes through the whole process of how she does it with no meds and a low carb diet - great success story <link>lowcarbdiets.about.com/u/sty/readersshare/weightlosssuccess/90-lbs-Lost.htm</link>

There are actually a bunch of pretty inspiring stories on this site that all look like real people and not the ones you see as success stories on tv, but I'm still not sure if I want to go this route - suggestions?

Joy Fit Club
I don't know how much weight you would like to lose, but if you go to MSN.com and search for "Joy Fit Club" you'll find a lot of inspiring stories. The ones on the TV "lose weight fast" scams aren't real, and if they are, those kinds of results are atypical. A balanced diet and exercise are key to weight loss and health. The "diets" tend to give you false hopes. You should always talk to your physician about starting a weight loss regiment, but there's nothing wrong with finding out what's healthy for you. The people in the "Joy Fit Club" have lost at least 100lbs with diet and exercise alone. They really are inspirations. They seem to good to be true, but tell yourself "If it is real, who's to say that can't be me!" I think about that alot. I don't need to lose 100lbs, but i need to lose 60-70lbs and i will get there. This site motivates me and makes me feel that I'm not alone in my weight loss journey. Have a wonderful day!

Placebo
Also, a lot of the "diet scams" are a placebo effect. When you get healthy, you feel better. Plain and simple. Best of luck to you all!
