Almased Nutritional Shake Powder, 17.6 Ounce

CUSTOMER REVIEW



My husband and I are going on a cruise in May 2010 and we are both in our early 50's. That middle-aged spread was creeping up on us both and we wanted to drop some weight before the cruise. Although some reviews said you can expect to lose 10 pounds in two weeks, our experience was not like that. We lost 10 pounds each but it took one month...still more than respectable. To be honest, any time you reduce calories and fat in your diet to the degree that you do on this diet, weight will come off. The key, for me, is not feeling like you are hungry, the headaches and jittery feeling I usually get when I get too hungry. The meal replacement shake kept the hunger pains away, we could go about 3.5 hours after having a shake before we felt hungry again. The first week we had shakes for all three meals each day and after the first week, only two meals a day, with a low calorie, low fat NO CARB meal for dinner. Personally, I enjoy the shake made with about 1 cup of low fat milk, about 2 cups of ice, a tablespoon of vanilla, and sometimes I add unsweetened cocoa for variety. As an added bonus, I find having a shake less expensive, more convenient and healthier than going out for fast food every day at lunch time. We are both very happy with the results and are continuing with the diet until our cruise, hoping to lose 5-10 more pounds each.
