I just finished the first week of my diet with a weight loss supplement called Almased. It's a powder made from soy, yogurt and honey that you mix with water or milk and use as a meal replacement.
I chose it because it is all-natural, has no added sugar or stimulants and a friend of mine had used it last year and lost 30 pounds in 6 weeks with it. So I gave it a try and I already love it!
I called their office and talked to their nutritionist and she suggested that I start out with a fast and have 3 Almased shakes a day for no more than 2 weeks. I can also drink vegetable broth during this time. Today is my 8th day and I feel great. The drinks keep me full and I have lots of energy. I don't even mind that I can't eat at the moment. I have already lost 6 pounds and I will definitely continue on the fast until the two weeks are up. Then I will have 2 shakes a day and one meal until I reach my goal weight ( I have 20 more pounds to lose).
I was really sceptic at first because I usually don't like meal replacements but this one is actually effective AND healthy! I really like that it's all-natural and works in a natural way to help my body lose weight. I expected to be hungry, tired and grumpy but I am full of energy and in a great mood, I sleep better at night and I love how this diet makes me feel (and look!).
Thank you Katelyn and you are absolutely right about having to be careful with the foods. I am a big carb person (give me bread and i am happy :-)) and I know I need to eat more protein and vegetables so I will try. I am hoping that I can maintain when I am done, my friend has so that makes me believe I can, too.
