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.

Fitness And Weight Loss By The Acai Berry Diet

By Derrick Hart

One of the healthiest foods ever found on Earth is grown|found in the rainforests in Brazil. The small, purple acai berry is loaded with healthy antioxidants, essential fatty acids, an array of vitamins and minerals and even 19 amino acids. This tiny but powerful little berry has become very popular with health-conscious people.

On the contrary losing weight is not the only concern. A lot of popular diets can diminish our bodies of vital nutrients and wipe out our good health by themselves. Our bodies call for a supportive approach to health and weight loss and foregoing whole food groups and substantially reducing calories can often hurt our health more than the losing fat can help it. We call for a healthful method to weight loss.

A healthful answer to the weight loss question has been found in the Brazilian rainforest. The tiny but powerful acai (pronounced ah-sigh-e) berry is an outstanding superfood that can support your healthy weight loss goals. Even as you drop pounds your body will be getting most of the vital nutrients that it needs.

Antioxidant activity from foods is measured by what is described as an ORAC score. The ORAC score measures the ability of a substance to neutralize free radicals within the controlled environment of a test tube. The higher the number of the ORAC score the stronger the antioxidant qualities of the food are. The acai berry has been found to have an extremely high ORAC score.

Processing methods can make a difference in the nutritional content of the product. The highest quality products are the ones that use freeze-drying rather than heat and chemicals. Heat and chemicals can quickly deplete the valuable nutrients found naturally in the berry. Before you buy an acai berry product find out how that specific product was processed.

As you look at the product you are planning to purchase, check out the nutritional label to see how much actual acai berry extract is in the product. Nutritional labels show ingredients by the amount that is in the product. Therefore, if the first ingredient listed is acai berry or a variation thereof then it is the main ingredient. If some other ingredient is listed then that would be the main ingredient. This may not be a problem but be sure that the main ingredient is a healthy one.

The acai berry tastes delicious and has a healthy dose of fiber. You can partake of these healthy treats by consuming the dried berries, drinking the delicious juice or even taking products made from the extracts. Delicious smoothies and desserts are also made from the acai berry.

You will see amazing health benefits when you add acai berry products to your diet. The acai berry is an excellent source of healthy antioxidants and other vital nutrients and it can be very beneficial to your healthiness.
