New Here -- Anyone Had Success with Almased?

I am just about to start on Shakeology. I've heard great things about it. I am not familiar with Almased though. sorry... not really much help. Good luck to you though.

I started Almased yesterday. It doesnt have alot of flavor but not a big deal because it actually made me feel satiated and I figured I would be starving. It kinda has a nutty pankcake batterish tast to it if you mix it thick enough like I did. I'm also going to add Shakeology along with the Almased. Shakeology get delivered today.

Why am I doing this? Well from a nutritional standpoint I have heard amazing things from shakeology. Seen some bold claims from almased. So Im going to do the almased diet and include the skaeology for breakfast all shakes combined will only be 680 calories. Thats a massive calorie deficit....I hope almased does as it claims and really doe tap the fat otherwise muscle mass will diminish which is not what Im looking for - Im simply looking for an alternative method to do basically what the hcg diet does.

But we will see. I will update my post later with beginning measurements.

Be careful.

I just bought some of this stuff tonight because it is supposed to curb your appetite as well. A 300lb person told me that they would have one drink and not be hungry for 4-5 hours. So I bought it for breakfasts.
I'm not doing the crazy 2 shakes a day and broth because I'm just using Almased to keep me in my 1700-2000 calorie goal. Obviously if you follow the guide you would lose weight with a huge calorie deficit but I just know from experience that those big deficits are what eventually put me into major binge mode.

I only did the three shakes and vegy broth for 5 days now I do two shakes and a healthy meal and two healthy snacks a day doing the shakes helps me not to binge eat.

Be careful.
