Weight LossThere are experiences in life that you caneither ignore or take to heart. After havinga stroke six years ago and a heart attackmore recently, I knew I had to lose someweight and be healthier.I couldn’t find any kind of program thatfit my lifestyle until one day, I was watching the Ray’s baseball game on TV – mywife and I are big Rays fans by the wayand even got married at Tropicana Field,where the Rays play. Anyway, I was watching the game and Almased’s sign poppedup behind the home plate. After seeingit, I did some research and I thought, youknow, this might look like something thatcould work because it’s easy. I then didsome further research on the product andit all made sense. I can lose the weight andnot muscle mass. Also, I kind of figured ifit’s the biggest selling weight loss product from Germany, they probably knowwhat they’re doing. So.I bought someand I started on it, went in hard and juststayed at it for four months. It has beenamazing, absolutely remarkable howthe weight came off. As of today, I am 29pounds lighter and I feel great. Almasedhas helped me dramatically. I am maintaining my blood sugar levels and amstaying heart-healthy.

Preferably, youshould consume your Almased shakefor dinner, but just like in the ReductionPhase, the schedule can be adjusted toyour daily routine.Keep in mind that you have entered intoa critical phase. You need to accustomyour body slowly to an increased calorieintake. Remain in the Stability Phase forseveral weeks to guarantee the emptiedfat cells stay empty and avoid the yo-yoeffect.
