In general, equal to say: it works! General whining for taste, I can not share personally. It tastes like a mixture of semolina and oatmeal, with sandy consistency. Unlike Slimfast and Co. of taste does not depend me out after a week to his neck. I mix it with milk, buttermilk was too acidic, water is okay, if you take less than prescribed so that it is more of a porridge. The satiety lasts me only about 3.5 hours, then I though hungry, but no sweet cravings. That's great, could not otherwise restrict me so. After the first week I got Although pimples and diarrhea of Almased (everything bad out ?!) and felt very tired and worn, but in the second I'm really fit and motivated. The removal is quite good, you also can indeed off the meals, I will replace 2 per day. And take between 0.7 and 1kg from a week. 4 kg are already gone. Make way little sports, jogging and Pilates. Works very well. Conclusion: Almased is not a diet, it helps so you lose weight, but you should already know what you have wrong done before. I lost years ago with Weight Watchers and kept my weight. Just eaten by occupational stress lately a lot of sweets ... I now have what looked to the kilos quickly get rid of. After that it is still important not to fall back into old patterns.
