The Almased diet

On the Almased diet, the main meals are replaced by an Almased shake. According to Almased, this should enable fast and healthy weight loss. The Almased drinks are mainly composed of soy protein, yogurt, and honey. The customer can choose between two programs: the faster version consists of two phases. In the start-up phase, all three main meals are replaced by an Almased drink. This is followed by the reduction phase, in which there are one normal meal and two shakes. Also, the diet should be complemented with plenty of water and vegetable broth. With this version, the last-minute weight loss for the bikini season should be possible. Alternatively, the Almased customer can also choose the long-term option. The first two phases are then followed by the stability phase, which provides two meals and a shake, and the life phase, in which the shakes from Almased are integrated into a balanced diet.

• For very overweight people, the shakes and the simple principle of Almased can be a good starting place.
• People who want to lose weight very quickly and are not afraid of a possible yo-yo effect can benefit from it.

• The amount or portion sizes of the shakes and the number of meals are always the same and are not adapted individually to the person or their physical needs.
• The diet is compatible with a vegetarian diet.

• The shakes are to be drunk as a fixed meal and, especially at the start of the diet, are practically the only food intake allowed. So this means eating out or getting a snack in between is completely out of the question. However, the shakes are easy to pack, can be taken anywhere, and requires no elaborate preparation.

• The Almased diet saves time because there is no need to cook.
• However, feelings of hunger and lack of nutrients can lead to poor concentration, headaches, mood swings, and other nutrient deficiency symptoms.

• The principle behind the Almased shakes is to kick start the metabolism and to optimally supply the body with all important nutrients.
• Too much sugar or fat often means that the metabolism is blocked and weight loss stagnates. Almased is supposed to remedy this. The shakes are protein-rich and have a low glycemic index—which lowers the insulin level and promotes fat burning.
• By adding lean milk and unsaturated fatty acids in the form of oils, the shake is also enriched with other important nutrients so that there is less risk of nutrient deficiencies.
• Every meal is initially replaced by a shake. Thus, calorie intake is usually halved. This is a drastic calorie deficit, which does not really promote the regeneration of the metabolism—in fact, such a calorie deficit could harm/slow the metabolism long-term.

• The body usually perceives the radical diet change with Almased as an “attack”.
• As soon as the diet is ended, the body tries to recover the weight that was radically lost i.e. the yo-yo effect occurs.
• Particularly in the first phases, there may be serious nutrient deficiency symptoms due to the abrupt changeover and the diet being unbalanced.
• Also, the high protein content of the shakes strains the kidneys in the long term.
• The lack of fiber in the shakes can lead to indigestion.

To summarize: The Almased diet can definitely be used to achieve weight loss results. However, the diet is very unbalanced and lacks variety. The calorie intake is usually greatly reduced, which can result in hunger attacks and nutrient deficiency symptoms—and lead to the yo-yo effect later. This type of diet is suitable for rapid weight loss. However, it requires a high level of discipline and nutrient deficiencies can occur over a longer period of time. People should be careful after completing the diet because the likelihood of weight gain is relatively high.
