History:
the first three days three times a day as recommended Almased.
Weight loss after three days (weighed on day four in the morning: 114 kg).
Wanted to extend it for a week, but my body went on strike four days after the second dose. Spontaneously the afternoon went to the Greeks and a serving gyros ordered with salad.
Result on the fifth day morning: 113 kg. The sin of the fourth day was probably forgiven.
From the 5th day Almased morning and evening. Lunch normally, but with the A-restriction that French fries and roast potatoes and white rice were taboo. Potatoes, pasta and brown rice yes, but unlike in the past, only half of the eaten on the plate (which it refers only to this side dishes). Meat, vegetables and salads without restrictions. Bread, rolls, particles, cakes and pastries are deleted.
The measures proposed by Almased meals are not feasible at least for me. Recipes for two. But if only one person wants to lose weight this court are not really useful. In addition, you would have lunch at home, what career does not go with me. Noon so far always as canteen with the described self-imposed limitations.
Stagnation
At 105 kg, the decrease stagnated. It did not want to go on for a week. Thereafter, in the speed as before. Then we went in 2 kg per-week- and from the second month on average in the 1.5 kg per week mode with the weight further downwards.
Another stagnation took place at 97 kg. Nine calendar days nothing happened. Then the faster further use.
Despite the stagnation, I continued to lose abdominal circumference.
Taste:
Getting used to at the beginning. Have gained me a hand blender for 16 Euro. The remixed Almasedtrunk goes. Only lumpy he is a disgrace. After two weeks, I could not remember the taste especially.
Price:
Between 17.45 euros and 20.50 euros, depending on the pharmacy. For twice a day and five tablespoons of the can reaches about a week. Price, however, is in order. For some the 1.50 per trunk to truly lives sparingly, because for 1.50 I could not have breakfast or dinner date.
McMullen
there was now and then. A glass of wine per week in the evening had no effect on the course. In the third month were due to some birthday parties sometimes afternoon a piece of cake and a glass or two, but never more than two in the evening, were incurred. In the course of the diet had no effect on my own surprise.
Time:
I see that I have taken up no later than 20 clock the means. Later, I did not try.
Target and Sport
My targets 80 kg.
Since the 09.08.2014 (ten weeks after the beginning of diet) I started with sports as intended. Not overly much. Cycle. In good weather, I put the five kilometers to work back to the wheel. Every third day - we have an exercise bike - it's for an hour still to this plan. This is then between 17 - 18 km Extra. Overall, I'm so far on average per week about 60 km. The aim is to increase. It envisages also to go once a week to Aquatraining.
Changes in diet history since 25/08/2014 (from 3 months)
My doctor has advised to leave the Turbo acceptance process and to switch to a normal weight loss. Permanent too rapid weight loss is counterproductive to health and also it increases the likelihood of the yo-yo effect. The objective - namely 80 Kg - should now be slowed addressed continuously.
Since September 1, 2014 I take a Almased only at night. In the morning I have breakfast temperate normal. A maximum of two wholemeal rolls or bread substitute - only butter / margarine plus honey, jam. Definitely no sausage. Another success of the past few weeks: I miss no more sausage coverings and usually I'm fed up already with half rolls.
I am Almased replaced by a normal breakfast. For good reason. Almased is based on the basis that the body burns fat most efficiently especially at night when the blood sugar is low down and the fat cells open again. Carbohydrates ingested over dinner prevent this effect, because carbohydrates are converted into glucose, which lead to a higher insulin output. But insulin closes the fat cells.
The body needs at night to repair the incurred on day cell damage in the body proteins. Without or with low blood sugar present is not enough to be able to carry out energy in the bloodstream to this process. Therefore, the organism gets the missing energy from the fat cells. The principle of Slim-In-sleep.
I renounce thus evening out, prepare me a self-assembled protein-rich and low-carb meal and stay in this regard with Almased.
The initial almost two kilos per week success rate can be already mathematically not complied with increasing weight loss. Relevant is also the reason sales of weight and muscle mass depends. The lower the weight, the lower the basal metabolic rate. I have found a site where you can calculate its (at-approximated) BMR.
[...]
Of course, it is not about the individual basal metabolic rate but an average and thus approximate basal metabolic rate. But you can clearly see that with less weight falls and the basal metabolic rate. With the result that the weight loss always be lower despite maintaining the diet. I write this as a psycho- logical assistance to prevent frustration when one has anticipated initially because of the high kilo decrease numbers too fast too slim.
I was asked why I also measure my girth next to the weight. This is also for psychological reasons. I was from observations of other known here that there is stagnation during the diet and for days not on the scale does. The frustrated. However, the body is changing. The Note, for example, when measuring the waist circumference. Therefore, I have these data also detected. I can confirm from my side. It is true. The frustration is therefore not occurred to me.
Next post should take place in late October. The next entry is also exciting because we go in the meantime for two weeks on vacation. In the time it will not be possible to take Almased. We are also very excited to see the implication. It remains interesting.
Note:
I do realize that losing weight when you walk in once into the river, is rather easy. The deceleration of the diet and the permanent change in eating habits are much more difficult. So: I have not been long in reaching my desired weight gained. Then it is only funny.
