How I lost 25 lbs by following the diet on Oprah!
Posted by jenna on February 2, 2009

Hey, my name is Jenna Patterson, and as a working mother, I know that losing weight, and especially keeping it off, can be almost impossible. Between taking my two kids to school, activities, and then adding my own work on top of everything, eating right is not always in the forefront of my mind. I make sure my girls eat healthy, but sometimes it is quicker for me to just go through a drive-thru than to cut up a bunch of veggies to have with me as I run hear and there.

This is my story. After having my first little girl, who is now 8, I was able to lose all but about 15 pounds of my baby weight. When I got pregnant again, I just added more to that. It has been almost 6 years since I had my youngest, and I have added 38 pounds to my body from when I was in my early 20s. That really hit me recently as we were buying new dresses for a Christmas party that is coming up. My girls were trying them on in the same room as me, and none of the dresses fit me. Or when they did fit me, I couldn't believe the size it was. And I just looked lumpy.

My oldest daughter asked me what was wrong, and I realized that I was just unhappy with my body. I never slowed down enough to really take that into consideration until that day in the dressing room. I knew something needed to change, but I wasn't sure how I could do it. This is how I did it and here are the pics of me before and after.


Losing 25 pounds was easier than I thought it would be. I ended up using a combination of 2 diet supplements that I saw on Oprah's show, I didn't need a trendy diet to lose the weight. In the end all it took was a simple two-step process and it changed my life forever. After one week I had lost 5 pounds and now after one month, I’ve reached my goal and I feel great!

Step 1: Acai Berry Weight Loss Formula Free Trial

Step 2: Colon Cleanse Free Trial

All About My “2 Step Formula”

I wanted to try combining two products I had heard about to see if it could really work. After a little bit of research online I found that they were safe to use together and that they were two of the most popular products celebrities use to lose weight and keep it off.

I didn't want to spend a fortune on these products so I did a little more searching on the internet to see if I could find them for cheap. I'm glad I did because I ended up finding free trials for both: the Acai Berry Weight Loss Formula and Colon Cleanse.

Here is how I used the two products together to lose weight


Step 1: Acai Berry Free Trial
The Acai Berry Weight Loss Formula is the first and the most important part of my routine. I first saw Dr. Oz talk about the power of Acai Berry on Rachel Ray. CNN has also been talking about the berry a lot recently.

Acai Berry Weight Loss Formula and Colon Cleanse helps me to:

- Regulate my metabolism
- Keep me from feeling hungry all day
- Gives me tons of energy to use with my little boys and husband.
- Losing weight by replacing coffee and soda, which also keeps my teeth whiter!

I was able to get a 30-day trial of the Acai berry formula online but the best part is that I only have to take it once a day, and then I am done!

Step 2: Colon Cleanse Free Trial
Colon Cleanse is the second part of my routine. The Acai Berry Weight Loss Formula gives me extra energy, and regulates my metabolism while the Colon Cleanse:

- Gets rid of bad toxins that have built up over the years
- Removes inches of sludge from the walls of my colon
- Got rid of a few inches off my waist
- Lowered my blood pressure and cholesterol

Just like the Acai Berry Weight Loss Formula, I was able to get a free bottle of Colon Cleanse. I take the Colon Cleanse pill twice a day, once in the morning and once at night when I take the Acai. The combination is perfect, it helped me to lose weight and get rid of all the gross sludge from my system.

The Results of My Diet Routine
After only one month I’ve already lost 25lbs. You can read all about it too because I’ve blogged about my progress since I started using this simple ‘two-step formula’. My husband and kids are so proud of me and I’ve decided to keep going to lose another 10lbs because it’s so easy and effective.

December 30th 2:15pm

I heard about a new diet that Rachel Ray was talking about today, and my friend told me that Rachel Ray had brought it up too. I thought I should look into it, as that seemed like something that would probably work. I was going to check it out on my break at work, but Anna had a fever, so I had to go pick her up from school and take her to my moms house. I will check again when I have time later.

December 30th 3:20pm

I had some free time on my hands at work, so I decided to search Google for the diet I was talking about earlier. Come to find out, its not a ‘diet’ per say, but actually a supplement that is all natural. I found a place that has free trials called Acai Berry Weight Loss Formula. Will write more when I get it in the mail. It should only take a couple days.

January 3rd 10:34am

Just got it in the mail. I also ordered something called Colon Cleanse that had a free trial as well. I was planning on trying them together, and see if they work well. Hopefully they do! I am excited to see how this works out. I am going to take them, and I will write more about it later.

January 3rd 1:08pm

I feel great. I didn’t have a huge lunch because I wasn’t too hungry, but my energy is super high. I have tried other diet supplements before that have just made me feel hyper, and then I crashed. But this doesn’t seem to be working that way. I read that Acai is considered a super-food.

January 10th 9:20am

Its been a week since starting both products, and I decided to weigh myself. I lost 9 pounds! That’s more then a pound a day, and I haven’t had to change what I am eating or anything like that. I have noticed that I feel less hungry, but that is a side effect of the Acai berry.

January 17th 3:17pm

It has been another week, putting me at 2weeks of using both supplements. I weighed myself this morning when I got up, and I had lost 10 pounds in this last week. So that is 19 pounds in 2 weeks. The best part of all is that I don’t feel hungry, or like I am starving myself. And I haven’t had to change my habits hugely to lose the weight. This is the easiest way I have ever found!

January 25th 7:14pm

Took my girls with me to find a dress for the Christmas party next month. I was also thinking of wearing it for our family picture, which we have next week. I have gone down 2 full sizes! I can’t even believe it. I took the dresses into the dressing room, and they were way too big! I fit into them a couple weeks ago. The change has been amazing, and I am so glad I tried this.

January 29th 10:05am

Weighed myself a couple hours ago, and I have lost 25 pounds since starting the Acai Berry Weight Loss Formula and Colon Cleanse. It is incredible. I have never found anything that worked this well. I love that it is natural, and so good for you. I plan on losing about 10 more pounds, but even then, I am going to continue taking the Acai berry because it has so many antioxidants and vitamins in it. Even my skin looks better since taking it.

If you are looking to lose weight, and don‘t know what to try next, or what will really work, try the Acai Berry Weight Loss Formula and the Colon Cleanse. Both have free samples, and you have nothing but weight to lose by trying them! Don’t waste another day being dissatisfied with your weight or how you look. You CAN change, it is possible!

I clicked on the link for the Acai berry powder. When I tried hitting my back space to come back to this page, I was offered the shipping for only $1. So Maybe all the readers could do the same & save. Can not wait for it to arrive!

Can't wait to try it since you had a good sucess with it. THANKS PS(why don't you try to get on Rachel Ray and tell about your sucess?

Jenna - January 25, 2009 at 11:08 am

Rachel, yes, it does work for teenagers too. If you're not sure, talk with your doctor and see what she thinks. Kitchill, I'm sorry, I live in the US and I'm not sure where to get it if you live in England. I will try to find out for you and post it if I can.



Jenna - January 25, 2009 at 11:10 am
Hi Fionna. When I got them I waited and started them together but you probably don't have to if you really want to get started. :)



Amanda - January 26, 2009 at 12:12 pm

About Me

My name is Jenna Patterson. I have 2 kids and a wonderful husband. I lost 25 lbs using a diet method I created from products I saw on Oprah's show. Read my story to learn how I did it.

"Dynamic Duo" of Free Trials


Step 1: Acai Berry (Free Trial)

Step 2: Colon Cleanse (Free Trial)


Colon Cleanse With Dr.Oz on Oprah Winfrey:


Dr. Mehmet Oz on the Oprah Show: "I mean, their bodies are screaming to them," Dr. Oz says of Susan and Maureen's health. "'Help me. Help me.' Their colon is saying, 'I need cleansing.' And they're not processing it. We are the best health educated society in the history of mankind but we don't take information and use it to motivate us to change our behavior"
Acai Berry on CBS News:

"Acai berries are among the most nutritious foods of the Amazon, rich in B vitamins, minerals, fiber, protein and omega-3 fatty acids. Acai berries also contain oleic acid (omega-9), a beneficial fatty acid."
Acai Berry on Rachael Ray:

Rachael Ray Show: "It may seem odd to start this list of superfoods with one you've likely never even heard of. But studies have shown that this little berry is one of the most nutritious and powerful foods in the world! Acai (ah-sigh-ee) is the high-energy berry of a special Amazon palm tree. Harvested in the rainforests of Brazil, acai tastes like a vibrant blend of berries and chocolate. Hidden within its royal purple pigment is the magic that makes it nature's perfect energy fruit. Acai is packed full of anti-oxidants, amino acids and essential fatty acids."
6 Healthy Tips I Have learned:
1. Portion control! There is no reason to pile food on your plate! Just take a reasonable amount, and you should be good! Overeating has always been a huge problem!

2. Eat slowly. I know when you are really hungry that can be hard, but if you take time and chew everything slowly, you are less likely to overeat. How crazy is that? Just slow down, and enjoy the food.

3. If you don't like the food, don't eat it. I know that sounds silly, but we tend to just eat whatever is in front of us, whenever it is there. But if you only eat what you really like, that will also cut down on your food intake.

4. Don't park close to the store. I know everyone wants the "prime" parking places, but it won't kill you to walk the extra few hundred feet from the car to the store.

5. Switch it up! Don't eat the same thing every week. Variety is the spice of life, and trying new things is good for your digestion as well!

6. Eat as much fresh food as possible. I know its tough sometimes, but be sure you aren't always eating packaged food. They tend to have much higher amounts of sodium and other bad things for you.
