Roxanne…you should actually be having a BM for every heavy meal you have. For example..you eat a balanced breakfast, lunch and dinner…you should be having a BM 3 times a day. Anything less then that and your actually carrying exsess weight. If you only have a BM once every 3-4 days you could be carrying up to an extra 14 pounds in weight alone. I suggest doing a colon cleanse ontop of your Acia Berry suppliment but do it slowly. A 7 day program should be good and make sure its all natural from a health food store. Your cleansing…not looking into pumping your body full of chemicals only to pump some out right. Good luck

I went to my local Health Food store today and purchased Acia Berry suppliments and a whole body cleanser. I asked the herbalist all the questions I could and this is what she told me “For anyone taking anything new they are going to experience slight cramping, possible diharrea and other slight side effect. It is something their body is not used to so it will take sometime in order to see results. Start out slowly to reduce the stoumach cramping ect and within a week or two up your dose if you feel you can but do not up it more then reccomended.” Its seems to me that alot of you guys on here are overdosing yourself on this Acia Berry. You can overdose on things like this and when introducing yourself to something you never ate, drank ect before its going to affect you in different ways. I have had no problems yet with what I am taking and I am even going to wait a couple of extra days before I start my colon cleans and whole body cleans. Once step at a time people. There is no need to rush anything. I will post more if I have any results or effects but if you take something properly you should experience minmul effects to none at all. Its like taking Advil….your only told to take one to two tablets every 4-6 hours…so are you going to take another 2 in 3 hours time? No your going to wait right. Well take your time on this and for Godsakes go to a Herbal store and not onto the web where they mass produce this stuff with God know’s what else. And for the people saying they are drinking while taking this…it says right on the product not to consume Alcoholic Beverages while taking the product. Look up the list of things you should avoid. The list I recieved with my purchase was, Exsessive ammounts of tea or coffee intake in a day….ONE cup of coffee or tea PER DAY, NO ALCOHOL, sweetners should be avoided and if you cannot only take about 2 a day, perservatives, food colourings, flavourings that are artificial, hydrogenated, or partially hydrogenated or refined fats and oils, frying, deep frying or overcooking food, salt, mushrooms, peanuts, farmed fish and yeast, all dairy except plain yougert (skim milk with live culture). Remember, this Berry is to help cleans and when your putting stuff into your body that naturally sticks to your insides its going to hurt being forced to come out. Talk to a dietition about what foods are good to eat that wont stick to your walls, like salmon, tuna, chicken, beef, broccoli, radish, alfalfa sprouts, brussle sprouts ect. Keep carbs low, keep high density carbs about average, protien low ect. For some one who is using this and looking to loose weight, your intake of low density carbs should only be about 3.5 servings a day for someone of 150-175 pounds. The more you weight the more you have to eat but also keep down the extra carbs, protien and fat. Research your foods and find a good eating plan BEFORE you take a diet suppliment. Dont just hear the good, jump on it and take it right aways….of course your going to have problems.

Hi all
I myself started taking the Acai Tablegts with a weight loss tablet called Decaslim.

My problem was I was on holiday in greece, with VERY hot heat. The combination of hot weather, and the flushing of the fluids out of your body = BAD BAD BAD BAD news. You REALLY Need to watch what you’re doing with these things,=. As ‘natural’ as they are, it doesn’t mean you can gain bad side effects.

Okay, on my first day before breakfast = 1 tablet. Then 2 before dinner. I had the runs for 4 days after it. So I thought ‘Hmm, maybe it’s because Im in a hot country compared to lovely cold england! I’ll take them when I get home.’

2 weeks later, I’m home. I took one this morning and had a bowl of cereal with it. Literally 2 hours later I’ve had the runs, the jitters and a little bit of a sick feeling. It’s slowly going away, so I think I need to take half of the tablet, and slowly allow my body to accept it.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE Be careful how many / how much acai you in-take. The more toxins in your body = the more you will poo!

I almost felt like I was going to die / have a heart attack because it was that bad, and I would never wish that feeling on my worste enemy.

Best of luck to those taking it, and don’t worry too much! It’s just a fruit that makes you toot.
Regards – Becky

To some of the people above who think that we are all nuts and just a bunch of hypochondriacs……Please don’t judge when you have simply been lucky enough to have no adverse reaction. I have worked in healthcare for 28 years and I knew I should be very cautious about this substance. I have rarely ever had an adverse reaction to food or medications. I took one acai pill yesterday in the morning and realized by 2:00 pm that I had this strange intestinal cramping. No diarrhea, just the cramping. It finally subsided around 10:00am this morning. It was a very uncomfortable feeling. I also noticed another strange reaction. My throat started feeling irritated around the same time the cramping started. I’m not sick in the least, so I know it’s not a sore throat. Plus, it doesn’t feel like a regular sore throat. It’s just a weird irritated feeling. It’s 4:00pm and that feeling is finally starting to subside. I think one pill was enough for me!

I have just started taking it and the reason I have searched for a site like this is I feel very queasy. I agree with a previous post, as an antioxidant,what do you expect? You are being cleared out. I have nowever,reduced to one capsule a day (Holland & Barrett). I’ll let you know if the queasiness subsides

I have been taking acai supplements now for almost 2 months. I have dropped 10 pounds, and feel actually quite good. of course i go to the gym and don´t eat as much. this could be the reason as well. i have had no side effects at all.
I think they are ok, as long as you don´t over dose, and of course if you are allergic… don´t take them!
I have increased how much i go to the bathroom, at leaste once a day now, but is this not a good thing?

I am getting married in 6 weeks so just wanted to slim down a few pounds before the big day….I have never worried about my weight and run and cycle every day whilst maintaining a healthy diet. I would never normally think twice about pills for weight loss but the pressure of the wedding caused me to seek out a safe natural short term ‘quick fix’ I have to say I have been quite scared over the last 10 days. I checked on the bottle and it said 100% acai berry, yet I have been having the worst palpitations, lack of sleep and heartburn after taking the pills. What worries me is that I stopped taking them 3 days ago but still the symptoms are with me. I am going to see the doctor on Monday and will be interested as to what they say. I was stupid to even consider taking acai so really it’s all my fault, and I have learnt the hard way that diet and exercise is the answer.

I want to know if anyone has gained back the weight after they have stopped taking the Acai? I cant find this information. When taking somthing to help loose weight, I usually will gain it back when I stop taking it.
