Almased Low-Glycemic High Protein Powder Shake Meal Replacement for Weight Management Non-GMO Plant-Based Protein, Gluten Free 17 oz (1 pack + official Almased Measuring Spoon)

Almased surprised me. I didn't expect it to work so well. I am 65 years old, have multiple health issues (such as fibromyalgia) that limit my activity levels, and I am insulin resistant. I haven't been able to lose weight. I have been health conscious for years and try to eat a nutrient dense diet of high quality foods. Yet, I stay chubby. I followed the simple plan (steps one and two) and lost 10 pounds within two to three weeks and have kept it off thus far, another month later.Interestingly, I felt calm on Almased. My cravings largely left, I wasn't nervous or shaky, and my pain levels lowered. I've been off Almased for a number of weeks, just enjoying a careful but good eating plan. Now, I'm going back on Almased and hope to lose another 10 pounds, which will place me at my weight goal.One important habit that Almased helps you to develop is a habit and comfort level of just eating less. Eat high quality, nutrient dense food in proper proportion but eat less than you've been used to eating. However, make sure you get enough protein. And take whole food supplements to fill in any nutritional gaps. Your doctor can help you identify nutritional deficiencies through blood work. I tend to be low in vitamin D and B12, which is very common.I talked to my integrative doctor about Almased, and she looked into it and approved it for me.Because I am short, I use 5 scoops rather than the 8 scoops per serving, which makes the container last longer. Actually, I've come up with a 4 scoops per serving smoothie recipe. In my blender I pour one cup of almond milk, add several chunks of frozen avocado pieces, 8 scoops Almased, a teaspoon of vanilla or almond extract, a few shakes of cinnamon, and blend. (The avocado provides the good fat, and I now buy it by the bag in the freezer area of Costco. This is so much easier and more reliable than fresh avocados.) This recipe makes two servings. Sometimes I take this same base and add two hands-full of fresh spinach and a cup or so of frozen berries. (Sometimes I throw in some peeled, zucchini wedges.) I divide this enriched recipe also into two servings. Oh, so yummy and satisfying.I am thankful for Almased, and hope that someday, I will no longer be "insulin resistant", that I'll be able to maintain a reasonable weight, that I'll be comfortable in my own body again, so that I can pursue more fully my goals in life!

Good

I looked forward to trying this product. During the 1st three days I dropped three pounds. Probably detox and fluid.I was wowed by how it cut my cravings and hunger. On the 2nd day, I felt really lousy. On the third day my face looked like I was sunburned and stomach ache. It finally clicked this is an allergy reaction. I’m really disappointed because I have never tried any kind of protein drink that reduced my munchie habit immediately.I would recommend if you don’t have an allergic reaction. I tried a coffee chocolate mix, didn’t like it. My favorite was a Splenda flavored orange water enhancer, a tsp of orange flavored Metamucil, water and ice. It was very tasty. So back to the search for a meal replacement.

I first tried this product in 2016, when I saw an article in a health magazine at a doctors appointment. I am 31 and have always struggled with my weight, yo-yo dieted for years and highly messed up my metabolism. I didn’t even follow the Almased plan exactly as suggested and still lost over 60lbs in less than 6 months by drinking two shakes a day and eating one sensible meal. Plus, 30-60 minutes of cardio 4-5x a week. I stay true to this product. I stopped taking it after hitting my first goal weight and maintained the loss for 4 years. Now after 2020, I have gained 20lbs back and will be completing the full Almased plan. This stuff works!

I'm looking forward to seeing what this product can do for my health. I just started using it so I can't speak to the impact just yet. But I can share my observations so far:Taste: the taste is mild and easy to blend with other flavors in a smoothie. It's pretty good as a coffee smoothie. I will also add that this product dissolves well both in a blender and in a manual shaker bottle.Satiety: drinking this in the morning (6:30 am) kept me satisfied until lunch (around 11:30). It shielded me from my midmorning snack attack.Packaging: shipping packaging was excellent. The cannister came in perfect condition in a box, placed in a bubbled envelope.I'll let everyone know if this turns me into a super model.

I have used this product in the past and was able to successfully lose weight. Decided to try it again to take off some pounds that have been recently gained. The taste isn’t great but I add a little artificial sweetener and vanilla extract to make it palatable.

I love this stuff. It’s worth the price, it actually works. The weight comes off quickly. It tastes like cream of wheat but I really like the taste. I mix mine with fruit and veggies and have one or two a day and one meal and can even do dessert and still seem to lose weight. I don’t feel like I am missing anything.

My friend introduced me to this shake and I lost 10 lbs after following the almased diet for a week! I'm on week 2 and I can't wait to see how much more weight I will lose. The shake doesn't taste great but it doesn't taste awful so i added a tsp of usweetened chocolate powder to help it not taste grainy and add flavor. I can't say that I followed the diet to the "t" but I tried my best and eventually I wasn't even craving the junk food that I was accustomed to eating. I've ordered from this vendor 3 times and my package came on time usually within a day and the product is always in tact. This shake is not for everyone and you need discipline to keep going. I haven't regretted it so far
