Has anyone tried them?
They are said to be really good for you like blueberries but better. Reports have said they are good for weight loss but not sure about that as I rang a health shop & they tried to sell me a bunch of other stuff, lol. 
So if anyone has tried them have they made any difference to you

I bought superfruit yogurt and it had them in it so couldn't tell what they actually tasted like. Meant to be good for you though, high in antioxidants. I didn't know it was a weight loss thing though. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| They taste pretty nasty to me, and I like just about anything. They are very bitter. I did not eat them for weight loss but more of a "oh thats new, lets give it a try" oh and they are pretty pricey too! |

I saw a free trial & you pay for p&p about $3...I never quite trust anything that says free & then askes for your cc details, lol, so I google'd it & found lots where getting charged for the next supply lot...in the fine print apparently.
I also read that it was some kinda wonder weight loss produce, but as we all know there is no such things. I think I may stick to fighting my kids for the blueberries...mmm blueberries & yogurt, want some now

Yes I think I saw something on the internet for this to Jazzy and yep seems a bit dodgy, I was reading comments about stuff not turning up etc and being ripped off. I've tried these berries in the meadow fresh low fat anti-oxidant yogurt, yummo range but can be expensive if not on special  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Thanks Jazzy, yep finished the year of nicely, I think we all hoping 2010 is the year when all our dreams come true!!! Hopefully your BFP is not tooo far away either. I see Bex had a baby girl, gorgeous name to. Feels funny doesnt't it, kinda feels like being picked last for the team IYKWIM as far as our bubbies go. Still, got to happen this year aye!!! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I have a feeling 2010 is going to be a great year & I am going to try my best to make it one. No more babies for me, after 3.5yr trying I have given up & feel fine about it, my kids are at good ages & I am about to get some more me time & DH & I are planning a weekend away, so I am taking this year to get me where I want to be, loose weight, spend money on me & do things as a couple again, beside 3 kids does my head in sometimes, hee hee. Bex's little one is so gorgeous & I love the name, I'm sure it wont be long before you are in the same boat also

Ditch the blueberries and get Goji berries. They're the next one down on the list from Acai berries and you can get them at the supermarket. They're just as good! ------------- Alex, Thomas and Lily http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

they're really yum! i have them on my muesli and they're just chewy like other dried fruits :D Alison Holst does a mix in new world with goji, acai, cranberries etc and i made an xmas cake with them instead of the normal crappy old crap, was super yum and healthy! ------------- Alex, Thomas and Lily http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

Ha ha I just got off the phone to my mum and she did this (silly woman!!). I told her to ring the bank and pretend she'd lost her credit card so she will get a new number and won't be charged for next installments!! A free sample is not a free sample if you have to pay postage!! -------------
