I have a question. I was in a car accident 2 years ago, and after two surgeries that required me to be on bed rest, I obviously gained weight. (I used food for boredom, food for pain, food for depression about my situation, food for hunger…)
Now that I’m able to start working out again, its very had to lose that weight. (Especially since I have hypothyroidsm.) My friends SWEAR by the Acai berry… some drinking it, some taking a freeze dried form via pill.
Some of my friends say their aches and pains were decreasing and they felt more energetic. 2 friends said they lost 5 pounds in a month where they couldn’t lose weight in a year the regular way.
I can’t find anything negative about it online, but I’m still skeptical. It costs like, $70 for a month’s supply, and it asks you to take 2 to 6 pills a day….
So I’m curious what someone who is into nutrition and fitness would have to say about it.
