I learned of a new superfood called Acai Berry that is used for weight loss. Since I’m always wary of big weight loss claims made by certain companies, I decided to do some research before I actually jumped on board. The verdict? I’ve discovered that Acai Berry is filled with vitamins and minerals that can aid in weight loss, building muscle and increasing overall energy—and is rich in antioxidants, fatty acids, fiber and other plant compounds that can increase your health. I don’t believe that Acai Berries hold a "magic key" that will help you lose weight, but it will help make your body healthy. When your body is healthy and well-balanced, it will be easier to reach your perfect weight. Here are ways to reap the benefits from Acai Berries.

Instructions
Difficulty: Moderate
Things You’ll Need:

* Fresh, Dried or Frozen Acai Berries
* Acai Berry Liquid Supplement
* Acai Berry Capsules

Step1
If you have a health store near you, you can purchase fresh, frozen or dried Acai Berries if you can find them. Or you can purchase them in this form online. Since it is a nutrient-rich food, you can cook with it and add it to your favorite recipes. It works well as a cereal topping, in granola, smoothies, yogurt, on low-fat ice cream and in things like muffins and cookies (as long as they’re low fat!).
Step2
You can also find Acai in the form of a liquid extract. The benefit of taking Acai in this form is that the nutrients will be super concentrated. Also, if you live in a climate where Acai Berries don’t grow, this can be a good way to get it as fresh and concentrated as possible.
Step3
If you want, you can also take Acai in capsule form. Capsules are good if you want to take Acai as easily as possible and still receive the benefits. If you make it a part of your daily vitamin and mineral regimen it will be easier to take it consistently.
