Celebrities are taking the guesswork out of dieting by adding Acai to their daily diet routines.
Brittney Spears: Before and After the Acai Berry Diet.
Brittney Spears’ Diet
How does Brittney Spears lose weight? By staying out of the kitchen and having her meals delivered to her front door. Yes, Brittney has embraced the service offered by companies such as Nutri System and Sunfare Delivery Service (which Brittney uses) which stress portion control when dieting. Brittney Spears doesn’t like the word “comeback”, but that’s exactly what she did with her recent 25 pound weight loss.
While this mother of two has to work harder at the gym between rehersals, she doesn’t lift a finger at home to prepare meals. Brittney relies on Sunfare Delivery Service (www.sunfare.com) to deliver three meals and two snacks for each day, five days a week. With the Sunfare Signature Diet Brittney eats approximately 1,100 to 1,200 calories per day. And, combined with acai berries and exercise, this is exactly what Brittney needs to shed unwanted weight and return to the spotlight.
According to Life and Style Magazine, Brittney eats hearty meals, just in smaller, balanced portions, which helps her stick to the program she srarted in April. Blanced diets and exercise are important aspects of any weight loss plan. Even though Brittney had signifcant weight loss with just the Acai Berry Diet, adding the home delivery system and resuming her dancing schedule of 2-4 hours per days have helped her reach her pre-pregnancy weight.
The free 1 month trial of Acai Berries is available only for a limited time. Click here to learn more.
Brittney’s Diet Menu:
Breakfast -
Vanilla yogurt with strawberries and mixed nuts. For best results, add protein powder to the vanilla yogurt.
Lunch -
Barbacue Chicken, Cobb, or Chef Salad. Be sure to make the protein portion palm-size, and limit the salad dressing to 2 tbsp.
Afternoon Snack -
Grilled, stuffed zucchini rolls. You can make them by wrapping 1/2 oz. goat cheese in zucchini (which was grilled in olive oil) and season with basil, salt and pepper. These wraps will offer a filling substitute to the afternoon.
Dinner -
A turkey burger on half a whole-wheat low-carb bun is one of Brittney’s favorites. You can add baked sweet potato french fries as a side item to the turkey burger.
After Dinner Snack -
A slice of cheese with nuts and an apple creates a balanced fat, protein and good-carb combo. Be sure to limit the amount of nuts consumed to 1 tsp.

What do gorgeous Gwyneth Paltrow, Brad Pitt, Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan have in common, apart from an A-list lifestyle and a heavy bank balance? A passion for tropical berries like acai berry and hoodia, and metabolism-boosting caffeine as a means of losing weight and purifying the body is the straight answer.
Now you can benefit from all these potent natural ingredients in just one easy-to-take supplement, Amazon Acai SlimAtox™ power berry with caffeine plus vitamins A, C and D.
Hot from the sizzling South American jungle, acai berry is one of the most powerful antioxidant foods available today: a true super fruit that not only helps repair cell damage and boost the immune system, but the omega 6 and 9 it contains increases the production of HDL good cholesterol, and also contains bromine, a known natural mood enhancer.
But most importantly, it has a positive detoxifying effect on the body and helps to build more lean muscle and reduce body fat. In the case of Brad Pitt, enabling him to ditch 20lbs to play a personal trainer Chad Feldheimer in his latest movie Burn After Reading. It’s also the antioxidant supplement that alternative health addict Gwyneth Paltrow relies on to keep her skin looking fabulous and energy levels high.
Amazon Acai SlimAtox™ combines the purifying benefits of powerful acai berry with hoodia extract, taken from a succulent plant that’s been used for thousands of years by the tribesman of the Kalahari desert as a powerful appetite suppressant while out on long hunting trips.
This is the steroidal glycoside ingredient known as P57 that’s been found to have real suppressant properties: you feel less hungry, so you eat less and weight loss is achieved by the reduced calorie intake over days. And it’s hoodia that Britney Spears has been using to get back into super star shape too. It can not only help you drop pounds but tightens and firms skin, too.
Finally Lindsay Lohan’s apparent favourite sliming aid, caffeine, in safe metabolism-boosting amount has been added together with anti-ageing, immune-boosting vitamins A, C and D to speed up and enhance the effects of acai berry and hoodia so you can expect slimming and detoxing results faster than ever before.
Amazon Acai SlimAtox™ is a Miracle Formula of acai and hoodia extract and 100mg caffeine anhydrous ingredient making it the perfect diet and detox formula that could help you drop a dress size and reenergize your body in less than a month.
- Fresh Acai comes up as one of the top sources for antioxidant activity. Freeze-dried Acai (the best source for Acai products, and the only kind we accept for Amazon SlimAtox) has a score of 35,000 per 100 grams.
- The Açai berry contains high levels of anthocyanins which help conserve the level of antioxidants in foods and continue to do so after they are eaten. Açai berry actually provides 10 to 30 times more than red wine – the previously recommended highest source.
- Açai berries are rich in omega fats: Omega-3, Omega-6, and Omega-9.
- Acai berries have a high fibre content.
- Açai berries have a high content of amino acids and protein, which help with the growth, repair, and maintenance of body tissues.
- Açai berries also contain three different plant sterols – B-sitosterol, campesterol and sigmasterol. These help to keep a heart healthy, and assist proper digestive functions.
- Açai berries also contain vitamins B1, B2, B3, C and E, supplying just as much vitamin C as another superfood – blueberries.
- For every 100 grams of Acai, you receive more than 1000 IU of Vitamin A.
- Açai also contains essential minerals, specifically potassium, calcium, copper, magnesium, and zinc.
- Acai regulates the bodies metabolic system which helps to burn calories more speedily.
- . and yet more being discovered as you read.
So what does that mean for you?
Studies are showing that high antioxidant diets may lower the risks of a wide range of diseases, including heart disease, some neurological conditions, while more studies are looking at how antioxidants may lessen muscular degeneration and help in the rebuilding of weakened immune systems.
In sports, antioxidants are already used to help ‘regenerate’ the body after heavy training or exercise. During intense exercise the increased oxygen consumption heightens oxidant production (free radicals) which may be felt as muscle ache. Enjoying rich antioxidant foods after strenuous exercise helps the body to recuperate quicker.
Plus many antioxidant rich foods usually contain vitamins E, C as well as Carotene. Also minerals such as Copper, Zinc, Selenium and Manganese . These are all vital for a healthy functioning body.

Oprah has been a leading voice in the exponential growth in sales of acai
(pronounced ah-sigh-ee) products — a fruit found in the Brazilian jungles
heralded for its antioxidant powers. But now she’s under attack for her endorsement from humanitarian types, who say the exploitation of the acai is leaving jungle dwellers starved for one of their favored sources of nutrients.
Soaring yuppie demand for the fruit — sales doubled to $104 million in 2008 — has driven prices out of reach for low-income indigenous people.
It seems like much ado about nothing: If acai is being made unaffordable by $104 million in US-driven sales, then it should be easy enough to funnel a chunk of that money back into the communities to raise the standard of living: The emergence of a valuable cash crop should help the people, not hurt them. The fact is that that rarely happens, but perhaps Oprah can use her platform to make sure that the benefits of Acai’s popularity accrues at least partly to the poor locals.But long-term, it’s probably not going to be a major driver of anything. Its explosive sales growth aside, acai has all the hallmarks of a fad food: Its sales growth is being driven by multi-level marketing hype machines like MonaVie and unrealistic claims and promises have abounded. And what about the antioxidant power? Gourmet reported that “an experiment last year at UCLA revealed that the berry is actually lower in antioxidant potency than many other sources, including red wine and pomegranate, grape, and blueberry juices.”
Acai products — especially the ones sold through multi-level marketing — are outrageously expensive and don’t appear to be spectacular enough to justify the cost. I predict that acai flames out before it has any long-term impact on the Brazilian economy.

I am going to stray WAY off topic here, but there is a very good reason. Thousands of people across the country are being scammed by unscrupulous fly-by-night Internet vendors of Acai Berry products, and one of them is my own mother.
Hopefully when people do their research online about Oprah and acai berry this post will pop up in search engines and inform them to run the other way from all of the paid advertisements that get shoved in front of their face.
TAKE NOTE: If a link saying “Oprah’s flat stomach diet” or some derivative of this, or a paid advertisement in Google, takes you to a site that looks like one pictured at your right or below, DO NOT SIGN UP!
(Update: Viewing this post I just realized that when the Google Adsense ads rotate through on MSF, an ad for “Diet of the Year” pops up. I am not allowed to click through it, per the terms of service I have with AdSense, but it looks like another Acai Berry site. Be careful if you click-through to this website as it could very well be one of the sites that is the subject of this acai berry scam post.)
(By the way, do you notice the similarities of these two sites, which are at different URLs? A little curious isn’t it? And just try leaving the websites. You will be inundated with more pop-ups trying to assuage your legitimate skepticism.)
MAIN POINT: Do not sign up for the “risk-free” trail from any of the multitude of online vendors of acai berry claiming that the product was explicitly endorsed by Oprah, Dr. Oz., Racahel Ray, or Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.
If you want some explicit examples of people being taken by the Oprah-acai berry scam, follow the link to this post on a forum at Oprah.com:
And it’s not just Oprah. As I just mentioned, these websites offering the “risk-free” trial of acai berry products also claim endorsement by Rachael Ray, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, and Oprah’s pal Dr. Oz.
There are two huge problems:
- Neither Oprah, Racahel Ray, nor any of the people cited on these websites endorsed that particular acai berry product or company. In fact, if you look at the fine print, it says that none of the celebrities or sources that they cite actually endorsed product. But many people, like my mom, do not realize that they have to scroll to the bottom of the page to read the terms and fine print.
- The “risk-free” trial is not risk free at all. You are required to opt-out within 21 days or you will receive future shipments of acai berry products (at around $90 a pop) and be signed up for other services like “Ultra-Slim” that are only mentioned in the fine print.
Another thing I noticed is that on every one of these sites, there is a disclaimer saying that none of the claims about weight loss and wellness benefits have been authorized by the FDA.
Here are a few examples of the websites to which I am referring. If you go to any of these websites, run the other direction as quickly as you can:
Don’t even think twice about this, I’m telling you. When you go to Oprah.com and visit the pages that mention acai berry, the paid google AdSense advertisements do not bring any of these supposed Oprah- and Dr. Oz-endorsed products up. Doesn’t that seem a little ironic? If the products were legitimate, don’t you think they and Oprah.com would want the obvious click-throughs they would get from advertisement for acai berry free trials on Oprah.com? That fact alone makes no sense at all.
Well, when you consider that Oprah and Dr. Oz never officially endorsed these products, it actually does make perfect sense why there would be no ads for these companies.
Again, for all of our loyal sports fan readers, my apologies for straying off topic, but this kind of stuff just pisses me off.
My mom thought she was getting a legitimate free trial of a product endorsed by Oprah. Neither is true, and judging by the recent forum posts at Oprah.com, my mom is not the only one. Sure, more savvy Internet users like me and many people my age would not have been taken in by something as obviously scammy as this — but a lot of people in the generation before me are still relatively new to the Internet and not as savvy at sniffing out scams.
This Oprah-acai berry scam is absolutely designed to capitalize on the timeliness of these supposed Hollywood endorsements (all they said was that the berry itself had anti-oxidant qualities) and prey on people who do not know everything they need to know to look for in an Internet scam.
Please, if you have been caught in this web of acai berry deceit, leave a comment and feel free to leave links to the sites that tried to or succeeded in sucking you in. Let’s expose as many of these frauds as possible.
And before you decide to just give it a shot anyway, understand that when you want to cancel your acai berry “free trial”, or if you have questions about use, your phone calls are routed to outsourced calling centers in India. I have no problem with this practice per se, as many companies do it; but the specific call centers for this product are instructed to give you misleading information and read from a very strict script — meaning that they try to outlast you and get you to stay signed up or not issue refunds. How do I know? I just listened to my mom talking on the phone with them for over an hour.
Okay, I’m done venting now. Time to go watch basketball. Hopefully the right people see this post and refrain from getting suckered by this and future scams.
Moral of the story: If a site that you do not know is trying to get you to sign up for a “risk-free” trail, do your homework first. Online commerce is very safe and practical, as long as you buy from sites that are legitimate and trustworthy. Sites that look like the ones above, and that make bogus claims about “risk-free” trials and celebrity endorsements, are just trying to capitalize on the naivete of unsavvy users.
Bastards.
Don’t get suckered by the Oprah-acai berry scam. If they don’t have links to vendors on Oprah.com, rest assured that the product is not officially endorsed by Oprah and that your “risk-free” trial will result in plenty of unnecessary and unexpected charges and headaches.

Before we actually dive into the amazing world of health related breakthroughs and diets, we must first define what a super food really is. In a nutshell, a superfood is the type of food that is able to provide all or most of the nutrients and minerals that our bodies need in order to function properly and maintain a healthy metabolism, in other words, a superfood will always deliver the maximum nutritional punch in comparison with the rest of the foods which need to be complemented in order to provide the nutritional value found in super foods.
Expert studies
Dr. Nicholas Perricone (MD), a professor at Michigan State University College of Human Medicine has conducted several studies in order to determine which the foods and natural products are able to deliver maximum benefits to our skin, Dr. Perricone is a dermatologist who has taken upon himself the difficult but rewarding task of finding natural products that will do more than just keeping our skin healthy.
Dr. Perricone has been the author of several books but, one of his most recent publications has caught the attention of the media mainly because it provides a very useful list of foods which are able to deliver the maximum nutritional value our bodies need and at the same time promote good overall health, that publication is called the Perricone Promise.
Oprah Winfrey and Media Coverage
Because of the intense research and useful information found in the Perricone Promise Oprah Winfrey featured Perricone’s book on her show which gave it national syndication, amongst the many super foods that Dr. Perricone mentions in his book, the one that caught everyone’s attention was the super food mentioned as the number one, Acai berry.
Acai is a berry which grows at the top of certain palm trees which can only be found at the Amazonian basin, this fruit has been categorized as the top superfood because it delivers many of the nutrients and compounds that our body means in order to maintain a healthy metabolic process and to a certain level slow down the aging process, this fruit was referred to as a natural product which should be used in order to achieve and maintain age defying beauty.
Not only did Opera Winfrey covered the many benefits that Acai provides, NBC reported that “the Anomabi” Indians have believed for centuries that this fruit helps women recuperate after birth and it is also able to deliver a great deal of energy to anyone who drinks of its juice; the Vogue magazine calls it the next big workout cocktail and the London Times said that Acai is able to deliver such a high nutritional value that makes other fruits blush with inadequacy, a statement which is well put.
The bottom line when it comes to this Brazilian berry is that it contains extremely high levels of antioxidants, omega-9, omega-9 and several other nutrients which have age slowing properties, can help lose weight and in recent laboratory studies an Acai extract triggered a self-destructive sequence amongst leukemia cells, this last finding may prove that Acai can do a lot more than just beautify your skin.
AcaiCelebrityDiet.com offers comprehensive information about the Acai cleanse and how the amazing Acai fruit can help you lose weight and regulate your metabolism in a more natural manner, visit our website to learn more!

No. 1: Açaí
Nature’s Energy Fruit
It may seem odd to start this list of superfoods with one you’ve likely never even heard of. But studies have shown that this little berry is one of the most nutritious and powerful foods in the world! Açaí (ah-sigh-ee) is the high-energy berry of a special Amazon palm tree.
Learn the truth about Oprah and claims about açaí.
Harvested in the rainforests of Brazil, açaí tastes like a vibrant blend of berries and chocolate. Hidden within its royal purple pigment is the magic that makes it nature’s perfect energy fruit. Açaí is packed full of antioxidants, amino acids and essential fatty acids. Although açaí may not be available in your local supermarket, you can find it in several health food and gourmet stores (often in juice form). A new product featuring the unsweetened pulp is now also available, and I highly recommend that you choose this form of açaí.
Açaí pulp contains:
- A remarkable concentration of antioxidants that help combat premature aging, with 10 times more antioxidants than red grapes and 10 to 30 times the anthocyanins of red wine.
- A synergy of monounsaturated (healthy) fats, dietary fiber and phytosterols to help promote cardiovascular and digestive health.
- An almost perfect essential amino acid complex in conjunction with valuable trace minerals, vital to proper muscle contraction and regeneration.
The fatty acid content in açaí resembles that of olive oil, and is rich in monounsaturated oleic acid. Oleic acid is important for a number of reasons. It helps omega-3 fish oils penetrate the cell membrane; together they help make cell membranes more supple. By keeping the cell membrane supple, all hormones, neurotransmitter and insulin receptors function more efficiently. This is particularly important because high insulin levels create an inflammatory state, and we know, inflammation causes aging.
