Acai berry is a scam. Go to their website and read the fine print. It clearly states it is not a weight loss product has no scientific or medical support and only makes you lose water.

Acai berries have been referred to as nature’s most nutritious fruit. Acai berries are high in vitamins, minerals, protein, potassium, fiber, essential fatty acids, and most of all, antioxidants. If you have heard how great red grape skins and red wine can be for your heart and your immune system, just multiply that by 33 and you’ve got the acai berry! It is the combination of its high fiber content and high antioxidant content that makes it such a great weight loss aid. The fiber in acai berries helps to stimulate the digestive system and helps the body move old fecal matter out of the body. The average person carries around anywhere from 5 – 20 pounds of old intestinal sludge. The acai berry diet rids the body of this excess weight almost immediately.

Hello
I can advise that Acai Berries do work to help as a weight loss supplement, however like with any supplement you should combine it with exercise and a healthy diet.
Acai Berry is known to help to speed up your metabolism, this will therefore burn more fat and provide you with more energy. It is not just used as a weight loss product but does also help to improve your general health.
I would however recommend staying away from some products, the ones you MUST stay away from are free trials, these tend to be re billing companies - they can be very hard to cancel.
You also need to ensure that the acai you use does contain pure acai berry and is also dried in the correct manor. The berry does need to be FREEZE dried to keep its nutrients, most companies will use other methods such as spray or air drying as this does cut costs but will also reduce the effectiveness.

Whenever a product becomes very popular and in the public eye, as açaí has, scams seem to pop up everywhere. Naturally, açaí is no different.
1. Ludicrous promises.
One such promise is that you’ll lose “30 pounds in 30 days”. While açaí has many health benefits, losing 30 pounds in 30 days is not one of them. The truth is, while açaí contributes to your overall health, it is certainly not the only component of a healthy lifestyle. You do not live on açaí alone. Your diet should consist of a large variety of (preferably high-ORAC) vegetables, high-quality meat, and a small quantity of fruit.
2. Inflated ORAC values.
Many companies tout açaí as a “Super Food” and claim ORAC values in the high thousands (or more). ORAC is a method of measuring antioxidant capacities in biological samples.Fact is, ORAC numbers can and do vary depending on harvesting conditions and your own body. Many companies multiply the ORAC numbers by 100 grams to make ORAC numbers appear higher than they really are (for the amount you’re ingesting).
Açaí is truly a great food, with strong anti-oxidant properties. Is it the only food you should eat? Absolutely not! It’s really not even at the top of the chart on ORAC values. Many other foods have strong ORAC numbers too like red grapes, blueberries, raspberries, spinach and many more. So strive for balance and include açaí as part of your big plan for taking control of your health.Be sure the ORAC values you are comparing are per milligram, not per bottle of supplement or some other inflated measure!
3. Obscure amounts of açaí, use of other juices and use of cheap fillers.
Pure açaí is expensive,therefore many products that contain açaí use token amounts of açaí, and load up with cheaper juices or flavorings. This affects not only the real ORAC value of the product, but also exactly how much açaí you are actually consuming. Many times, it’s very difficult to tell how much that is.Besides other juices which may have lower nutritional value than açaí’s, some products are contaminated with fillers of dubious value, like soy lecithin, citric acid, maltodextrin, or seeds.My advice is to steer clear of mixed products, because it’s so very difficult to really know what’s in them.High-quality pure açaí should be very dark, not a lighter color. So color tone is a reasonable guide to the quality level of the product.
4. Questionable marketing practices.
One popular marketing practice invites you to try out a “free” bottle of açaí (whether capsules or liquid is irrelevant), and charges you “only” for shipping and handling.
You’re asked for your credit card number to cover shipping and handling. Hidden in the fine print is a statement that by accepting the free offer, you’re authorizing a monthly auto-ship program and will be charged $90 to your credit card every month. Then comes the real rub. Unscrupulous companies make it difficult or almost impossible to stop the monthly charges. By the time you manage to get a “return authorization” from them to stop your payments and shipments, you’ve lost several hundred dollars.

It is a fruit from the acai palm that it suppose to help you loose weight, but there is no scientific proof to this.
