P.O.R.N. Diets

I am coining this term as I feel some of the diets out there are so radical they need to be discussed in one place.

We here from our favorite celebrities daily and some of us live for this. We follow them on Twitter, talk about them on Bebo and MySpace or e mail each other about them especially when a new diet is talked about.

There have been some over the top radical diets in the past like the 'Air diet', not a very popular one for obvious reasons unlike the 'Chocolate' diet. Then there is the more main stream 'Atkins' diet or 'The Dash Diet' or even 'The South Beach Diet'. All have there plus and minus points and their advocates and nay sayers as well.

The trick when it comes to diets if there is a trick in selecting one would be to thoroughly research the topic. The mere fact that there literally are thousands of diets commercially available shown on television, billboards or even your local Chemist shop.

Here will be many, many articles pertaining to the topic of P.O.R.N. Diets circulating our media and your opinion on them is most welcome. Maybe you have been on one and would like to praise it or maybe warn others away from it. Whatever you may like to share, diet related, please do.

Why The Acai Berry Works At Weight Loss When Other Products Fail To?

By Dana Hawkes

You will find a large number of testimonials on the Internet about the effectiveness of the acai berry for weight loss. You will see a lot of people commenting about how the acai berry has made them lose up to 5 pounds in a week. You will also read about people who have tried other weight loss products and failed and then turned to using an acai berry product which has shown them positive effects. At the same time, you will read about medical and health experts promoting the acai berry's effectiveness in weight loss.

Why is the acai berry so potential in weight loss then? We have all heard over and over again about its high antioxidant content, which is clearly a point. The antioxidants in the acai berry are in completely high concentration; the highest that is found in any other natural food. These antioxidants are instrumental in removing free radicals from the body, which is one reason why the metabolic processes within the body improve and it becomes healthier overall. Digestion improves and the body no longer stores fat within it.

But the antioxidant action is not the only thing that works for weight loss. There are different other points. One of the reasons is that the acai berry helps in the removal of the LDL cholesterols in the body because of the high amount of HDL cholesterol present in it. The berry is a rich reserve of omega 6 and omega 9 fatty acids, which are unsaturated fatty acids that promote HDL cholesterol in the blood.

The other reason is the presence of a high amount of fiber in the berries. This fiber content aids in digestion by providing the right amount of roughage for the food. The roughage helps aggregate the undigested food matters and properly eliminate them from the system. Due to this, the colon is not overburdened and the digestive process improves overall.

One more reason for the effectiveness of the acai berry diet is what some label as a side effect. The acai berry can reduce the appetite. However, this is not dangerous because the berries contain all the nutrients that the body might need. This actually reduces the food intake for the person which helps in the weight loss process.
