Step
1: Determining the amount of Almased to take
One serving of Almased equals 8 tablespoons. This is the
average amount per drink mixed in cold liquid (see Step 2).
If you prefer to customize your diet please refer to the table below to determine how much Almased you need to take. The amount of Almased to take depends on your height. All data is approximate data.

Step
2: Mixing the Almased drink
Mix the Almased Vital Nourishment in 6-8 oz cold liquid,
such as bottled water, low-fat or skim milk or unsweetened juice. Use water for fastest results. Place the powder in the glass first, then add the liquid, and mix thoroughly. You can also blend Almased with 3-4 ice cubes to make a smoothie.
Because Almased
is all natural, it contains no added sugar or preservatives. We
leave the flavoring up to you. We recommend a low calorie or no
calorie beverage. You can also add a few drops or a tablespoon of
the following flavoring agents: liquid vitamin C, vanilla extract,
or cinnamon. NOTE: Depending on the sugar content, the previous
options may slow down your weight loss and overall detoxification
process slightly; they are, however, effective ways of adding a
little flavor to the Almased drink.
NOTE: Never mix Almased with hot liquid. Heat destroys the important enzymes in the protein mixture.
Step
3: Cleansing Phase (Phase 1) - Day 1 & 2
This is the most important phase of the diet and will affect the outcome tremendously. To begin the detoxification process with Almased, it is necessary to cleanse your digestive tract. Take your preferred laxative on the first day. Also, during the diet your bowels should be emptied at least every 3 days. Wait 2-3 hours and then take your first Almased drink to start the diet. Take a total of 3 Almased drinks a day for the first two days.
To avoid dehydration and help with the detoxification process, you must supply your body with at least 12-15 cups of liquid (preferably water) daily. Stay away from coffee, teas with caffeine, alcohol (including beer and wine), sodas, and fruit/vegetable juices because of added calories and sugars.
Step
4: Reduction Phase (Phase 2) - Day 3
Starting on the third day, replace 2 meals a day with the Almased for as long as you need to reach your target weight. For each meal take the amount of Almased calculated for each meal as above. Your third meal (ideally lunch) is replaced with a regular well-balanced meal
This regular meal should consist of lean meat (these are chicken, fish or tofu), raw or cooked vegetables, and whole grains. You should not consume pasta, refined sugars, white rice, white breads, candy, cakes, or any overly processed, fried or prepared foods. These contain excessive artificial ingredients and preservatives your body does not need. Keep drinking as much water per day as you can but at least 10 cups per day.
EXAMPLE:
2-3 ounces (size of your palm) of skinless chicken, 1-2 cups of salad with a little oil and vinegar, or green vegetables, and 1 cup of brown rice, or sweet potato.
Step
5: Holding Phase (Phase 3)
After reaching your target weight and body fat percentage, it
is important to adjust your body back to a normal calorie intake
and burning rate. On the first and second week after the reduction
phase, reduce your Almased drinks to only one Almased drink
a day. The third and fourth week, take only one every other
day. Drink at least 10 cups of water a day.
Step
6: Back to Normal (Phase 4)
You can eat all foods you like but don’t overeat. Instead
of counting calories, count fat content. You should not consume
more than 60g of fat a day. Try fruits, fresh vegetables and
low fat milk products as meals between if you get hungry. In
order to maintain your weight, renew your cells or for purification
purposes, you can replace 1 meal per day with 6 to 8 tablespoon
of Almased in a no/low calorie liquid as needed.
Step
7: Vegetable Broth & Vitamin Supplements
You can consume unsalted vegetable broth with or between your
Almased drink meals. Remember to drink up to 3 quarts of liquid
(e.g., Almased-Wellness tea, green tea, herbal tea, water) every
day. Stay away from coffee, caffeinated teas, alcohol (including
beer and wine), sodas, and fruit/vegetable juices because of
added calories and sugars.
You may continue
the use of vitamin and mineral supplements; however, we suggest
the liquid form for better absorption. If you experience some
muscle pain after a few days, it is caused by free radicals
being dissolved by the diet. We recommend taking additional
liquid or powder vitamin C.
Step
8: Exercise
Almased suggests developing an exercise routine that fits into
your daily routine. Determine a time of day in which you are
most comfortable working out and set aside that time. If you
do not already exercise, start off slow and increase at your
own pace. It is not required that you do an extensive workout
but even a short walk once a day can help your overall health
and increase your weight loss.
Eating
out and social events
Utilizing Almased as a meal replacement can be a great way of
balancing your daily caloric intake before a dinner party or
social event that requires you to indulge in a large meal. Simply
take your measured amount of Almased in a low/ no-calorie liquid
to replace the meals before and after the dinner party or take
2-3 heaping tablespoons of Almased mixed in liquid 20-30 minutes
before eating a meal and you will feel full faster and eat less.
