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.

Does Oprah Really Believe in Acai?

By Megan Smith

Research has shown that the acai berry is one of the most powerful anti-aging foods discovered by scientists. Used for centuries in the Brazilian rainforests, acai berries loaded with amino acids, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids. Oprah has promoted acai on her show at least two times in the past year.

The fatty acid content in acai berry is the same as that found in flax oil, grapeseed oil, olive oil, and other healthily oils. .By keeping the cell membrane vital and flexible, all insulin receptors and neurotransmitter work better, not to mention hormones. Oleic acid, also present in acai, helps omega-3 rich oils enter through the cell membrane. Together these health boosters help make cell membranes more supple. This is particularly critical as high insulin levels create an unhealthy state which causes premature aging. The anti-premature aging powers of acai interested Oprah.

Acai berries also contain healthy fats, dietary fiber and phytosterols to help promote cardiovascular health, digestive health, and immune health. Acai berries really are a super food. Acai contains a powerful concentration of antioxidants that help combat the effects of aging. These antioxidants keep skin relaxed and are reputed to actually reverse pre-existing wrinkles. Acai berries have also been proven to fight against the number one killer of adults in America, heart disease. These healthy berries also contain an essential amino acid complex which is critical to proper muscle functioning, both regeneration and contraction.

The evidence of the scientific community definitely establishes that your health will be improved by regularly taking acai berry juice or supplements. So what is the problem? Google acai. The internet is swamped with online sites promoting acai berry as promoted by Oprah. These eye catching sites contain all the reasons you should supplement your with acai. Some of the sites even include a photo of Oprah and acai berry. The sites include first person testimonials and promises from people who have enjoyed increased health and weight loss as a result of taking of acai. For the most part this might be true. The scam comes in the form of sites that offer a free trial of acai berry juice or or a free trial of acai supplement.

Thousands of people have complained that within a few days of ordering their free sample they received a big bill for a full month supply. Others are reporting that the effort to cancel an unwanted ongoing acai order is wildly difficult and requires lengthy periods of being on the telephone. Many customers are receiving bills for acai that they never wanted to order. That's the scam.

Go ahead and enjoy the health benefits of the acai berry. Oprah does. But whatever you do, buy the product from a reputable dealer. You won't notice the health benefits during a short trial period anyway. Reputable and honest dealers outline their cancelation policies clearly and don?t have to entice people with free offers.
