Thanks jst4games123 and Jamie! I am gonna try taking out the almond milk. Also, switching to a dressing of oil/vinegar. I am thinking of fasting for two weeks. Jump start things. I need to loose about 45 lbs. I have been using filtered water from the fridge but maybe will try bottled. The greens i mix with don't have sugar either so that should be okay. I'll just keep trying.

Hi,

I started about three weeks ago. Fasted for two days. The first week went great. Lost 5 lbs. Since then nothing. I mix my Alamsed with Greens 8000, some almond milk (unsweetened) and water. Usually chicken salad or salmon for lunch. Any ideas what I can do different.

Thanks,

Hi lolo1977,

Welcome to the Almased community.

Keep in mind that losing weight takes time. Be patient and slowly, but surely you will shed inches.

For a better measurement of weight loss, we strongly encourage to focus on inches around the stomach and hips to determine your weight loss progress. The scale is not an accurate measurement as it does to provide numbers for fluctuations in fat and water mass. Measure your abdominal or hip area 1x a week. Inches lost will indicate weight loss success.

It sounds like you are following the diet as prescribed. Some people are able to lose weight even with the addition of other ingredients with Almased, and some people experience even better results with Almased mixed in filtered or bottled water. Try having Almased with just water for a few days and see if there are any changes. Like jst4games123, you can mix Almased with flavorings. You can add a teaspoon of the extracts like vanilla and almond extract to your Almased drink. Also, make sure that the water you mix with Almased is chlorine-free. Tap water has chlorine which will destroy the enzymes in Almased.

Hope this helps. Let us know how you do.

Hi Lolo,

I am sure one of the nutritionists will help you out, but I was wondering what you are putting in your chicken salad. Maybe you are getting sugar from something you are mixing in it. I fasted for the full 2 weeks which i needed desparately to jumpstart my weight loss. I have lost 12.5 lbs and 2.5 were last week when I added 1 meal a day. I dont mix my drink wiht anything but water and the flavorings. Maybe the almond milk is the reason? I do mix half a portion in plain greek yogurt now and then when I just want to eat instead of drinking the drink, but that is working for me. My meals are consisting of lots of salad greens with oil and vinegar and a portion of lean meat.

Good luck with your venture! Oh...I dont know how much you need to lose, but if you arent too far from your goal, you migh lose slower.
