I have been drinking one shake in the morning for the last few months and have lost 25 pounds! I have made little alteration to my diet, yet the weight is gradually falling off. I feel that gradual weight loss is safer than sudden weight loss. I also feel like the weight is more likely to STAY off when it is lost gradually. Recently, my mother (age 67) has begun to drink the shake as well. She has battled with her weight by entire life (I am 39); I have noticed a significant difference in the shape of her body. She just weighed in after drinking the shakes for two weeks, and found that she has lost 21 pounds. The main thing the shake does is increase your metabolism. At ages 39 and 67, our metabolism had all but stopped. I had gained a considerable amount of weight over the last year, again without changing my diet. The weight just kept piling on! Drinking the shake has been a miracle worker for me! I highly encourage people to give it a try!

I've been trying to lose 15 pounds. I've seen Almased in magazines and requested a sample. When I received the sample wasn't sure I would like it. So I waited. Then I had the opportunity to try Almased Powder for free, so I jumped on it. I figured just from the way it looked in the picture I wouldn't like the taste. And I was right. I have been using it for 5 days now and I have lost 3 pounds with out exercising, although I am on my feet all day at work. The taste is, to be honest, nasty to me, however, I found that if I sugar free flavored coffee syrups and blend it in a blender it is not so bad. I didn't follow the first stage of the diet because I didn't think I would make it through the day without any solid food, so I use it to replace breakfast and dinner, and eat a balanced lunch. I still feel hungry so I will have a small salad with my shake at dinner. It doesn't keep me as full as it claims, and I don't feel it is a good idea to restrict your calories so low, so I have salad or cucumbers as a snack in the evening. I am hoping to lose at least 10 pounds in the 14 days, but if not, at least I've lost something already. I am determined to stick with it.

I really like this product. Over the last few months I have been doing the Hcg diet, and struggling with staying strictly to the diet. Then flipping and doing low carb I have managed to loose about 30 lbs. So I have now been using the Almased and Hcg in combo. And Love the results I have lost 6 lbs in 3 days. To me almased tastes like cream of wheat. It's not great but it is liveable. What I really like is how it totally fills you up. And then if you start to get hungry chew a stick of sugerfree gum, and that fills you up again. To keep the cost down I use the almased for breakfast and dinner and eat a low carb lunch. I also drink the broth like they suggest for snacks. I am a grazer I have always said I have the willpower of a gnat. But with Almased I feel in control and make the right choices. Do your research in finding the best prices It varies a lot. Good Luck...

I first heard of Almased through a coworker. She followed the program (very easy) and lost a lot in a couple of months. I then decided to try it. The shakes are not cheap (I bought for 29.95) and if you follow the 2 week fasting (3 shakes a day) you will need at least 2 bottles. However, I decided to have the shake in the morning with non fat milk, have a regular meal (around 400 / 500 calories), a snack around 3 PM (greek yogurt, fruits, cereal bar, ricotta chease) and another shake at night (never after 7 PM). I always mix Almased with non fat milk, although the taste with water is not that bad and instead of the 8 tablespoons recommended I add 6 in the morning and 5 at night. I am also working out 3 times a week, I do 40 min cardio and 20 / 30 min weights. That said, I have lost 10 pounds in 3 weeks (from 255 to 245) and I feel more energy when I work out, at work, etc. I also noticed that I have been sleeping better than before, my skin looks better, I am no longer craving for sweets. I can tell that Almased does work if you follow the diet. Just stick to the shakes and make sure you exercise even if its a 20 minute walk. And if by any chance you feel hungry, eat a healthy snack. You will see results very fast and will get excited to lose more.

I have been using Almased for 2 1/2 weeks and lost 6 pounds! For a year I have been trying to lose my baby weight. You would think running around the house all day would help, NOT. I have tried so many weight loss products and Almased is the only one that has given me great results. My starting weight was 130 pounds and now I'm 124 pounds. The pounds are just melting off my body! Yesterday I was 125 pounds and I woke up this morning at 124 pounds. I am just so amazed with this product I had to leave a review and rate it 5 stars. This product is a 10 star! For the first 3 days I would have 6 tablespoons of Almased mixed in 10 ounces of water for breakfast and Lunch. I feel full for 5 hours until my next shake or meal! At dinner I eat a full meal and have 3 tablespoons of mixed Almased in water. I drink a little bit after my meal because it has great digestive support. I did go to the website (almased.com) to find out more information on dieting and weight management. The site offers great support, information, 3 different dieting programs, and some tasty recipe's. Right now I'm not using any of their dieting programs. But they do have one that can help you lose 10 pounds in 14 days. It's a good plan, but I need to eat at least one full meal a day. I definitely recommend Almased to any one who want to lose weight. Also, It's a great supplement for pregnant mothers. Too bad I didn't know about this product a year ago, I'm sure it would have really helped with giving me some extra energy. And another good thing is it glycemic levels are very low, which is a good thing for Dietetics. What more can you ask for in a great meal replacement! One con I do have, is I wish Almased was sold in pounds, like 5 pounds and not 17 ounces! Or I guess selling several sizes is good too. One 17 ounce container lasts for about one week. Go to thefind.com to research the lowest buy price.
