It worked for me but not a nice taste

5.0 out of 5 stars So far, so good! 5.8 kg (13 lbs) lost in 28 days - 2 shakes a day made with water and cocoa powder

A.C. · 7 January 2021

Didn't take me too long to get used to Almased - if you flavour it right, it is absolutely fine. I am on Day 28 having lost 5.8 kg (13 lbs) since 1st January and my goal is to lose 3 stone in total.Since Day 1 I have been having 2 shakes a day made with water (a shake for breakfast and a shake for dinner and a "normal food" healthy lunch around 500-600 calories) as suggested in the Reduction Phase which you can keep doing until you've reached your goal weight.Once I added a teaspoon of UNSWEETENED COCOA POWDER as suggested (I recommend 1 heaped teaspoon of Green and Black's Organic Cocoa from Tesco, Waitrose or any standard supermarket) as suggested, it tastes like a chocolate milkshake and is so much more palatable. I make all my shakes with water, not milk. The product has skimmed milk powder in it already and once you shake and blend it and pour it, it thickens up and to me tastes fine. I did try it with almond milk on the first day but just could not drink it. It was thick and gloopy so I always make mine with water.As soon as I start to drink the shake, I feel energised and it's as if I have had a shot of caffeine but there is no caffeine in this product. Must be the vitamins.I am having a shake at breakfast, veg soup and high protein salad and 1 ryvita for lunch or stir fry with tofu or chicken and noodles etc and shake for dinner. This is the most effective product I have tried in years. I am really thrilled and I feel great and can notice that I have toned up already as the protein content is high. I am also walking at least 5,000 steps a day and doing 40 mins power yoga a day. Fantastic product. If you are disciplined and cut out all the bad stuff, you will see results. And I don't feel hungry on it either.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fingers crossed

I noticed on german Bolo, people have been reviewing this for months, very encouraging.. I just started and hope it works...... I am in my 40s with 3 kids and about 30 kgs to loose according to the charts... have tried the usual so far: Atkins, slimmin clubs, fasting, gym, aerobics, etc. and a friend of mine was on LL for 7 months (shakes only...) so these are my thoughts for now: Didn't expect a fancy taste and tried various things: water only, skimmed milk with vanilla essence, tomato juice (as per leaflet), flavoured soy milk and my favourite so far was "Koko Dairy free" (from Tesco) you still have the aftertaste all day.. but I can live with that.. the first two days I felt a bit low on the energy front and headachy.. so I don't think climbing mountains is an option in those 3 days... I just took it very easy..and drank plenty of fluids, the great thing I noticed: I was not hungry!!! so hopefully tonight (Day 4: 2 shakes and one meal) I can have my fish and salad and not stuff myself senseless because I was starving all day.... my plan is to get through the 2 weeks and see what happens.. since last week I have lost almost 1kg but I didn't weigh myself when I started 3 days ago.. so this is just a basic figure... hopefully will keep you posted,One more week and I lost another kilo, feeling good, will keep going, have tried it now with vanilla flavoured rice milk, tasted OK.. I am meant to enter the life stage with 3 meals and one shake, but I want to keep going another week with one meal per day during the week and two meals at the weekend.. see how it goes...

3.0 out of 5 stars It is ok.

It is obviously hard for a non-professional to write an objective review, so here comes my personal view of it.I bought the product on the recommendation of my sister, who lives in Germany, We were talking about a product which is good for you, helps you to lose just a few pounds easily and which to us importantly is not too sweet.She buys Almased at a health store and it can cost her around 16 Euros. She said she does not feel hungry with it and loses the few pounds to feel good in a special dress for a special occasion.I bought it on Bolo, as it's not available in UK shops and paid over £30.00 for it. I tried it first to replace breakfast and it tasted ok, not sweet and I felt ok on it. I was quite encouraged and did not feel like overeating at the next meal either.However, a few days later I replaced 2 meals with it (breakfast and lunch), but I had added some honey and a banana and also drank decaffeinated teas and water, however, I really felt lacking in energy by mid afternoon and realised I could no way continue to use Almased for even 1 whole day, let alone for several days., i just felt too rough.It could be to do with my age (I am over 60) and maybe I was too active, maybe if I had rested more it might have been ok.So in summing up I personally would use it to replace 1 meal per day, but not more than that, or maybe if I was ill and resting in bed with no appetite, then it might be useful. I would not buy it again, certainly not at the UK price.

All good

...delivery time is a bit long but fully satisfied with the purchase!

For weight GAIN-YES!

M. · 17 June 2014

I was under the impression Almased was a weight loss product. I was wrong! I have managed to GAIN 12 lbs in three weeks on Almased. I mix Almased in with 10 ounces of either soy or almond milk, sprinkle with Trader Joe's ground cinnamon and shake in a Blender Bottle, purchased from Vitamin World, three times daily. In addition to 30 push-ups, 10 reps of the Superman (yoga move), downward dog and various stretching, I also speed walk for 25 minutes every morning. My appetite has increased-incredibly! I have found that I am hungry ALL the damned time with Almased. I enjoy the shake so much, that at times I'll find an excuse to double it! lol Yes-it's that yummy! I'm a sad case. I have at times mixed it with the Institute for Vibrant Living Energy Greens powder. WOW! What an energy rush...ALL DAY LONG! To be honest, it's a great combination of vitamins, minerals, herbs and weight management supplement when properly prepared...and controlled. Mixing Almased with H2O only is the perfect weight loss solution. It tastes gross. However, less satisfying as well. I continue to buy Almased, BUT, this week, I'm adding Garcinia Cambogia to my regimen. I drink lots of fresh lemon water too. My skin looks amazing! I'm doing some things right at least! ;)

Goodby plateau! UPDATE 9/18/14

O.t.g.e. · 13 September 2014

I've been eating right, and working out like crazy trying to lose the 50 lbs. I gained after an accident that stuck me in a wheel chair for a year. All was well for the first 19 lbs., but then I was stuck. I tried everything. Many diets were too complicated (expensive shopping lists). I'd about given up when I received an ad for Almased in my spam mail.As always, I checked Bolo reviews to see what others thought of the product. The reviews, other than taste were good, so I ordered one container. Well, I've lost four pounds in four days, and wish I'd ordered more.I work out often, but gained 50 lbs. after an accident that led to a year in a wheelchair. When I decided to lose the weight, I ate right, and worked out. The first 19 lbs. came off easily. But then I spent 3 months without losing any weight despite trying a variety of diets, working out harder, drinking more water, etc. I just about gave up. But then I received an ad for Almased in my spam mail.It sounded too good to be true, and even better when I checked the product's reviews on Bolo. So I ordered one container. To my surprise, I've lost 4 pounds in the four days I've had the product and followed the guidelines. So now I've ordered 3 more and am optimistic about meeting my goal.As for taste, I badly want to lose weight and tried a variety ways to make it more palatable. Vanilla almond milk w/a teaspoon of vanilla and a lot of cinnamon helped a lot. I also mix it with chocolate almond milk & dark cocoa powder. It's still not tasty, but I'm getting used to it and it seems better each day.Taste aside, I guess whether you stick with it or not depends on how badly you want to lose weight. I'm committed. One thing that helped is that I have it for breakfast a little later than usual, and a lot later than usual for lunch. I then have my last one shortly before bedtime. The first couple of days, I felt hungry. Since day three, I no longer get hungry as long as I have one in the morning before I exercise.The only reason I didn't give it five stars is the cost. The container doesn't hold much, and only lasts a few days, which makes it very expensive. But since it's worked well to date, I'm willing to bite the cost bullet because I now feel it's worth it.UPDATE: Another 4 lbs. GONE (total 8 lbs. lost in 8 days). I'm doing the hard-core phase 1 weight loss -- 3 shakes a day. I no longer get hungry and my cravings are gone, other than an occasional fleeting moments when I smell the food I'm cooking for my S/O. He has a real sweet tooth, and loves the same food as I. The difference is, he stays thin because of his outdoor job.I have 5 more days to go before I start phase 2, and am optimistic the weight loss momentum will continue. My favorite ways to disguise the taste are adding cinnamon and vanilla, or cocoa powder. I can't claim this is the most tasty way to go, but it's not bad after a bit of "doctoring," and it gets fast results. My taste buds and body seem to adapt after the first 8 days, so taste and hunger are no problem. I also feel energized, which ups my mood.Again, whether or not you stick to this program depends on the level of your determination and desire to lose weight. When I started this liquid diet plan, I watched "The Biggest Loser" for inspiration. I was never that big, so I figured if these people can do it, so can I. TIP: Don't forget the water, and I purposely drink my "lunch" drink later, so I can have my "dinner" about 2 hours before I go to bed.

This Is The Real Deal!!!!!!

A.C. · 18 June 2016

Ok folks, this stuff is the real deal. I am a 44 year old woman who could not lose weight, I think my metabolism quit . On this stuff, I have lost 12 pounds in less than 2 months which is a big deal for someone who couldn't lose before no matter what. This is nothing like the other weight loss powders or shakes on the market. I have tried so many different things and this is the first that was effective. I really only needed to lose 20 pounds, and now I am finally going to get there. It does help you feel full, but certainly not all day long and you will still feel hungry. It seriously helps with energy and I have had no negative side effects at all. I don't understand the reviews talking about how horrific the taste is at all. Because of those reviews, I steeled myself before tasting this for the first time, thinking I was going to have to plug my nose and choke it down. Not at all!!! I just blend it with almond milk and it's perfectly fine. Haven't tried it with fruit yet, but I'm guessing that would be o.k. too. It's no delicious milkshake, but it's absolutely palatable. My routine is that I walk three miles 4 times a week. I have very limited options for exercise due to a nerve injury in my neck but this routine has proven just fine. I think if you walked less it would be fine as well. I drink this milkshake for all my meals most of the time, eat a boiled egg every day and sometimes snack on veges or fruits. Once in awhile I'll eat a meal of whatever I want, I don't believe in restricting yourself completely from everything you love. This stuff is expensive, too expensive really, but compare the price of this with your regular food bill and I think you'll find you're saving money in the end. A complaint I do have is that they should offer these cans in a larger size and they should at least provide a measuring scooper for this price. However, it's been well worth it for me. Do not think you can eat this stuff and then eat whatever you want because then it will not work. You have to change your lifestyle in order to be successful. There are no magic pills or powders out there period. This is the closest thing I have ever found to be truly effective. Last thing, I only use 3 scoops in my shakes because I am 5'4". I think even taller people would be fine with this amount, and it makes the can last longer for sure.UPDATE!: I have lost almost 20 pounds since starting with Almased which is amazing. I think I'm going to keep going since it is working so well and update my goal to 30 pounds instead of 20. This stuff fills me up, has dramatically increased my energy, and has definitely worked on my metabolism. I am on the same exercise regimen as always, walking 3 miles four days a week, and I continue to use this for most of my meals. I eat a normal meal when I feel like it. On my vacation, I ate every day and took this stuff once a day and STILL lost a half a pound. Just bought 2 more cans. Will continue to take this even after I reach my goal.

Repeat Customer... It definitely works!

R. · 23 January 2015

A friend told me about Almased and I was hesitant at first! I read everything about the product, 14 day fast, how to use it as a meal replacement, and customer reviews from several sites. I decided to try Almased and love it! I'm not a paid reviewer for anyone, although I should be! If you decide to try this product after reading reviews like I did, buy the product from Bolo as it is cheaper than competitor prices! Trust me, I did my research and one can from other stores are going for $35-$39. If you don't believe me, Google it!My success from Almased is I lost 11 lbs in less than 2 weeks! I followed the all liquid fast where you drink 3 shakes (bfast, lunch, dinner), drink homemade vegetable broth (as much as you want), you can't eat the veggies, you're only drinking the broth from the veggies (no salt or meat), and drink plenty of water. Doing this keeps you full and also flushes your system (water). I had so much energy and had no headaches.I will agree with others, the taste is not greatest but you can dress it up and eventually get used to it! My favorite smoothie recipe is Mocha Magic because it allows you to have some coffee in the shake! It contains 8 Tbsp Almased, 12 oz unsweetened vanilla almond milk or unsweetened coconut milk, 1 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/4 cup cold coffee, 1 tsp stevia (optional). I also add 2 drops of pure orange or pure peppermint extract, 2 to 3 tsp of flax-seed oil, 1 tsp cinnamon and a few ice cubes. This is the best taste for me and most all my ingredients are organic! I use my nutribullet to mix my shakes thoroughly. I am now transitioning to meals, replacing one of my shakes with a meal.The only downfall with keeping up with this program is the price of the protein powder. I've gone through 2 cans in about 8-9 days, I just ordered 2 more cans. With that said, it can be a bit expensive. 4 cans has already cost me over $100 and won't last for a month. However, once you start eating healthy meals and only use the shake as a meal replacement or weight management from time to time, you may not go through the cans as fast! Remember to drink plenty of water, eat healthy meals, and do some type of exercise (even if its walking) this will definitely help you lose weight faster. Btw, if there are women thinking about trying Almased for weight loss and you're trying to lose inches around your midsection, use the sweat bands around your stomach while you exercise and drink the Almased shake after your workout! I found this to be vary rewarding for me.
