yeah I saw a link to it where you can get a bottle for free trial, but I was a bit unsure about it and thought I'd mention it here. Here's what the link says about it: https://www.extremeacaiberry.com/335...ffID=223031380

I don't really see how it could hurt. Other than having to pay for it and it doing nothing.

I'd rather take the supplement than DRINK it. I hate the way it tastes.

There is no any side effects in Acai berry juice. Experts believe that, the chances of contracting cancer are greatly reduced by the presence of fatty acid portion in acai berry that resembles olive oil. Diseases connected to Blood Pressure are combated by sterols and phytosterols present in acai.

I got sucked in. Haven't started taking them yet though as my eating is way too chaotic for there to seem any point.

Seems natural and harmless with a lot of good effects other that supposed weight loss (which I am skeptical about, but also a sucker who'll try anything other than to stop stuffing my face) so I thought, why not give it a go.

However, obviously there is a catch: they basically charge your card something like $80 a month to send more until you cancel. Cancelling can apparently only be done over the phone which I guess is ok if you live in the States, but I don't so am a bit stuck as I don't want to call an international number on either my parents or bf's home phone, or on my mobile.

Aaaaaaaaarrrgggggggghhhhh!

Serves me right though.

google before you buy. aparently the online retailer that sells the "diet" acai berry stuff will charge you major bucks when you fall for their trial products. (which according to many many reviews is impossible to get out of because their phone lines dont pick up..etc)

buy it from anywhere, like gnc.. even target's are getting them.. acai berry supplements.. its the same thing that is in the "diet" bottle but way way cheaper.

anyway. id like to know how they are.. because i plan on buying (the cheap ones, from a store.. like 13$ a bottle or so)

No, I've never tried it, but I want to and I think I'll make a trip to GNC and see if they have supplements.
