Oprah Winfrey has been one of the biggest endorsers and advocates of the Acai berry diet. On her television show, she featured Dr. Perricone, who discussed the benefits of this new weight loss break through. As a single mother who was looking for an easy fix to my stubborn baby fat I was intrigued.

What Is Oprah's Weight Loss Diet?

The diet they discussed involves taking Acai berry, which is high in vitamins, minerals, and nutrients along with an all-natural colon cleanser to flush out toxins and lose weight fast.

• Acai and colon cleansing are successful for weight loss for the following reasons:

• They both speed up weight loss by improving digestion and removing toxic buildup and excess waste from the colon.

• Acai increases the metabolism to burn more fat and provide you with natural energy to take on the day.

• Flushing out toxins and excess waste has been shown to reduce feelings of being lethargic and bloated.

• Acai is an all natural fruit without the harmful side effects of fat burners and amphetamines.

• Both of them are high in fiber, which aids in digestion.

My experience with Oprah's diet was better than my expectations. I lost 5 lbs the first week and the weight continued to come off as I stuck to the program. I didn't get the urge to binge on junk food and felt way more in control of my eating. This alone will play a huge role in your weight loss! Not only that, I just feel more healthy and alive. It's amazing how much better you can feel when your flushing your body with vitamins, minerals, nutrients, and all that good stuff you know you should be doing but aren't.
