To Sara of Fit by Sara: “What is your opinion on the Acai Berry diet that is pretty big right now? I guess they are “magic pills” that people are losing so much weight from. I think they also take some kind of cleansing stuff too. I was just curious about what you thought about them. Have you heard much about them, and do you think people probably just gain the weight back?”
From Fit by Sara: “I don’t have a lot of information on acai berry diet. However, anything in pill form has potential side effects and there is no such thing as a “magic pill”. Besides potential side effects, weight loss through pill form is hard to maintain and costly. I wouldn’t recommend taking anything in pill form. The best way to lose weight is through consistent exercise, eating lean, and drink plenty of water.” -Sara Holliday MFT, CPT
