Losing weight for me is far from simple. For a large part of my life I have struggled with my weight. I have tired many miracle drugs, to lose weight and gain it all back once I stopped taking the pill. With wanting a second child, I know I have to do something about my weight, not only if I want to get pregnant, but also because of my health now. I am currently insulin resistant which is basically borderline diabetic. This makes it even harder for me to drop the pounds.
In the current years I have tried everything from changing my eating habits and working out, to all the different fad diets out there. I even took to taking yet another pill to help me reduce the size of my waist line. What did I learn? With the fad diets I was left hungry, tired, and cranky. With the pill I had lots of energy, was losing weight at a nice rate, and I could focus! However, I knew I couldn’t depend on the pill. I stopped taking it and on came the weight yet again, I no longer had that energy I had, nor the motivation to workout, the scale started climbing and I got depressed.
A few weeks ago I was contacted by Energetic Nutrition about checking out the Almased Synergy Diet. I knew nothing about this product at the time, but when it comes to my weight I am up to try pretty much anything. I received the Almased Diet Kit, which included 3 cans of Almased, the Turbo Protein Diet book, and a scoop.
It took me a few days to get the nerve up to try the product. I have had products like this in the past and they were not the best. I knew if I wanted the program to work for me, I had to do my part and I was about to do a 5 day fast. Which included 5 days of drinking Almased for breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as drinking a vegetable broth through-out the day. The fast can last anywhere from 2 days to 10 days, BUT no more than 10 days at a time. After you have completed the fast you drop down to phase two which is Almased for breakfast, a healthy lunch with lots of veggies, and then Almased for dinner. You can stay in this phase until you reach your goal weight.
So what exactly is Almased?
Almased is a meal replacement shake, that is designed to use your own body’s mechanisms and processes to burn long term fat deposits without the use of stimulants or artificial fillers. Clinical tests have shown that those who consumed Almased lose fat not muscle! So in a nut shell, Almased speeds up and improves your metabolism, is an all natural non-GMO product, protects muscle mass while losing fat, and has been proven safe and effective for diabetics.
Scientific results have shown that patients using Almased lose more weight and inches then those who just exercised and watched what they ate.
My Thoughts on Almased?
Like I said above it took me a bit to get the courage to try Almased. I mixed it with skim milk, then once I got a feel for it, I started adding some cinnamon. I thought it would be tough not to eat solid food, but I was wrong. The Almased shake kept me full until time for my next, it also gave me more energy to get in my workouts. I sat back and watched as the scale slowly started to come down. I noticed I was also sleeping a lot better at night, before I would wake every few hours. While drinking Almased I was sleeping straight through.
While drinking Almased I noticed I sweated a lot more, things I once did with little to no sweat were leaving me in a mess of sweat. After the 5 day fast I was down 7 pounds, once I started to add in solid foods I noticed the scale started to bounce up and down some, but I always noticed I was gaining muscle and my clothes were fitting a bit different.
After the 2-week mark I had lost a total of 9 pounds, gained 1% muscle, and lost 3 inches. The inches were from different parts of my body, so not a huge difference in the way my clothes fit, but I was being able to notice and that was the important thing! The first few days of the Almased diet, I had a different scale, so the below image is only for the last 10 days, which was after the fasting period.
Thanks to Energetic Nutrition, I will be continuing on with the Almased Diet for a few more months. I cannot wait to see what my total weight loss will be.

I’ve heard of a lot of weight loss products, but it’s nice to see evidence that one really works! Great post!
I have tried a lot of weight loss products and fad diets. I have only found a few that worked for me. I love the taste of the Almased, and I love knowing how many calories I am intaking a day.
I’m glad it seems to be working for you. I lost weight when I was diagnosed with RA and have had no problem keeping the weight off.
I have always had problems losing weight, I think it has to do with calorie intake. With the replacement shakes, I know what calories I am consuming and I am not hungry. I love this stuff! Hopefully, I can reach my goal weight within the next 8 months.
I like that this is high protein and gluten free. I am trying hard to incorporate more of both of those things into my family’s diets.
It’s very high protein, with the skim milk and mix I get a 39g protein drink. Helps fight off hunger and makes me feel full longer!
Thank u for the review! I would like to try this
I find this interesting. It seems to be working for you and that is what matters.
This looks like something that would help keep you on track! It seems like it would get a little pricey over time but would be a good way to start off losing weight.
Yes, I could see it being a bit pricy, but the thing is you’re taking in a small amount of calories, while working to lose weight your stomach is shrinking, so when you do jump start your weight loss, your stomach will only be able to handle small portions. However, the success of your weight loss is on you, and you have to change your ways whether you’re taking a supplement to help with a lower calorie intake or just eating smaller portions.
I am so wary of weight loss products. There are so many out there. It’s big business in the world we live in. Glad to hear this worked.
It is big business because of the food companies like to sell consumers. If we go remove processed foods from our lives, the fad diets and other diet products that have so much hype will be no more. I happen to love Almased because it isn’t a lose weight quick product. You still have to workout and it shrinks your stomach while keeping a high protein low calorie count which I love.
I am not a fan of weight loss diets as most people who go off of it put the weight back on. I am glad it’s working for you. Have you ever had your thyroid and thyroid antibodies checked? That wound up being the cause of why I could not lose weight. Good luck.
This isn’t considered a diet though, it is a meal replacement shake. Once you have your stomach shrunk back to a normal size instead of a super size things are easier. I have had my thyroid checked a few different times, because thyroid issues run in the family, all times it has come back normal. My doctor said it took her over 5 years of testing the thyroid before it came back that was the issue. My issue is I am Insulin Resistant, which means I am storing sugars as belly fat. Yay me!
I love that Almased works without stimulants and helps you to lose fat while retaining muscle.
As an epileptic it is hard for me to find something that works well without stimulants so this sounds as if it would be great for me.

I love this product even if you were to use it to replace one meal and keep the other two meals to about 400 calories, you would lose weight, and I happen to like the taste.
