Hi Daisy, 

It is nice for your to join us. Congrats in advance to your marriage. Almased can certainly help you reach your goal weight. Keep in mind that a healthy weight loss is .5 kg - 1 kg per week. If you reach this range each week, that is great progress. You can mix Almased with flavors including coffee powder or iced coffee. 

How much Almased are you using for each shake? How long have you been using Almased 3 times a day? Using 8 tablespoons of Almased has a very high fullness factor. If you are still feeling hunger, I recommend adding some calories to the shake such as skim milk, almond milk, yogurt, or soy milk. You may even add 1-2 tablespoons of ground flaxseeds to each shake. The flaxseeds will give the shake a nutty flavor as well as provide you fiber and curb your appetite. 

How long have you been feeling the pain? If it occurs immediately after you use Almased it could be a sign that you are soy protein intolerant. We recommend to stop with the use of the product until your symptoms subside. Then you can introduce it to see if it happens again and if it does, unfortunately Almased is not agreeable with you. 

I hope it all goes well. Please keep me posted on how you're doing.

Hi Jamie,
thanks for the wish!

I used 5 tablespoons of almased with 200ml of iced coffee with 1 tablespoon of virgin olive oil.This is my first day.I dont know for how long I can be in this fast phase.I drank about 3l mineral water.and didnt eat the vegetable broth because i find it hard for me to find time to prepare it because im still studying at a university.so for today i just took almased shake and mineral water only.
Is there any meal that can replace the vegetable broth?like mushroom soup or anything?

I felt the pain for like 10-20 minutes.about 3hours after i took my second portion of almased today.
besides that,i felt alright for the whole day despite the hunger. ;P
so can i continue consuming almased or not?

Hi Daisy, 

Remember the minimum fast is three days to help restart the metabolism. You do not have to fast longer than that unless you prefer. The maximum number of days for fasting (phase 1) is 14 days. 

An alternative to veggie broth is 100% low sodium vegetable juice. We recommend drinking veggie broth since it's lower in calories and will help curb appetite. Vegetable juice is a little more calories but will provide the same important antioxidants as vegetable broth. Try drinking up to 4 cups of veggie broth or juice daily. 

I would only continue using Almased if you experience no pain form here on out. I hope this helps. 

Goodluck Daisy! 

today is my 5th day consuming almased.i gain my weight back.im so demotivated.pls help me

Hi Daisy, 

Have you measured your inches to see how many inches you have lost? Losing inches will sometimes give you a better weight loss indication than a scale. 

Now that you are on the fifth day, are you still fasting or consuming 2 shakes and eating one meal. Perhaps if you shared with me how you are using Almased, what you are mixing in Almased as well as what types of foods you are having for your one regular meal, I would be able to better assist you on your diet. 

I look forward to hearing from you.

i've started my 2nd phase already.i ate vegetables such as brocolli and carrot.and i also having constipation for this few days ;(
i mix my almased with milk or soy and a tablespoon of olive oil.

Hello Daisy, 

Have you tried adding fiber to the Almased shakes. You can add 1-3 tablespoons of ground flaxseeds, psyillum husks or chia seeds. The added fiber will help with regularity. Let me know if it helps!
