Acai

If you haven't heard of Acai, Acai Berries or anything to do of Acai then you need to watch more Oprah. Just kidding. But Acai has been on her show and in most major newspapers and magazines across this country. I'm not even sure how to pronounce Acai properly, but you can Google it if you want. Acai has been around for thousands of years, but since it's become a craze in North America and major marketing firms are blowing out of proportion it seems like Acai Diets are everywhere.

Acai Review is a nice little web page I found that shines some light on what Acai is all about. A fruit mainly from Brazil is all that it is. The craze erupted from it's high level of antioxidants because we as North American's have bad diets. Really, if our diets were better finding new antioxidant fruits would really make headline news now would it?

Definaetly Acai has it's place and should be looked at if you are need of an antioxidant. It's a natural fruit at it's source. Now finding which form is going to be the hard part and you need to make sure you do your research. Some companies have processed the fruit into a powder and other have just juiced it. I have no first hand knowledge of what you should be looking at but I would guess that the more natural the process the better, but don't take my word for it.

So Acai is out there everywhere. It sounds good, but like all individual diet products it has it's place and is meant for certain people with certain problems. As always, be careful what you are getting yourself into. Everything in moderation. If you are looking for an Acai product check out that site I linked.

The Cookie Diet

The cookie diet is an interesting phenomenon that has been moving across the country. Not only this year, but over the years it has slowly been building momentum. These diet cookies have been on national TV, in magazines, news papers. In the news you will hear both positive and negative things about the cookie diet. Some people are swearing by it while others are swearing....at it. Lets start by looking at what the Cookie Diet is all about before we look at the positive & negative aspects that the media talks about.

Hunger control is the name of the game when you are on the cookie diet. The theory that if you can control your hunger and cravings while maintaining a low calorie diet you will lose weight. Sounds ok, makes sense. If you burn more calories then you are putting into your body you will lose weight. That's exactly how it happens. This diet is traditionally administered by a doctor who can make sure your body is getting what it needs while you are on the diet. Your body will receive just what it needs to get day to day, not a lot more. That is where a lot of the critasism of the cookie diet comes from.

The arguements against the diet revole around the fact that your body is not getting enough nutrients, thus the cookie diet is in fact more harmful then good. I believe you are told to have a cookie for breakfast and have a cookie for lunch then a reasonable supper. Your total calorie intake for the day is around 800-1000 calories, which is very low. The argument for the diet is that you are only suppose be on the diet for a short period of time, and you are maintain regular doctor checkups. You have set goals and targets that you are trying to accomplish and meet.

That's what I've found out about the cookie diet, please share your insight if you have tried it yourself or know someone who has.
