THE LONG-TERM
ALMASED® PLAN
Less weight, more energy:
Many diets starve the body of energy and
important nutrients, however Almased®
supports the body, ensuring it is provided
with enough energy and essential nutrients
to run efficiently in spite of the reduced
calorie intake. As a result, a diet with
Almased® ensures healthy and effective
weight loss. With this four phase plan,
you can achieve your weight loss goal
and improve your overall health and
well-being. To further support you through this
programme, the Almased® 14-Day figure plan can provide you
with additional tips and recipes. The brochure is available from
your local pharmacy or free to download from www.almased.co.uk.

Stabilisation phase
This phase slowly accustoms your body to an increase in the
consumption of regular meals, helping to support the body’s
energy needs, while retaining muscle integrity. By replacing one
meal, this can help maintain weight after weight loss. This phase
can be continued for as many weeks as you desire.
4
Life phase
Optionally, incorporating Almased® into your daily balanced
diet is encouraged following your weight loss. Almased® can be
used as a go-to healthy nutritious snack during the day or pre
or post-exercise.

The right dosage
1 Initiation phase
In this phase, your regular meals are replaced with Almased®
(50g Almased® powder mixed with 200-350ml of water or 200ml
of low-fat milk and 2 tsps of essential fatty acids i.e. flaxseed,
walnut, olive or rapeseed oil). In addition, during this phase, it
is recommended to consume vegetable soup as an additional
meal to your three shakes. Please note: This phase should not be
continued for more than 2 weeks as this will result in unhealthy
weight loss.
2
A 50g serving of Almased® is the recommended dosage to
provide your body with optimum nutrition.
Only mix Almased® with cold liquids as mixing with hot liquids
will destroy the enzymes which are so important during the
Almased® diet. The best results are achieved when Almased® is
mixed with water and 2 tsps of oil (flaxseed, rapeseed, olive or
walnut oil) to ensure an adequate supply of essential fatty acids.
Additional tip: You can flavour your Almased® shake with your
favourite ingredients, such as cinnamon, unsweetened cocoa
powder or extracts like vanilla or almond. Almased® should
be made fresh and consumed immediately. It is important to
increase your daily intake of fluids between each meal.
Reduction phase
This phase supports steady and healthy weight loss. During this
time, two regular meals (preferably breakfast and dinner) are
replaced with Almased®. Your other meal should be high in
protein, low in carbohydrate and rich in vegetables. This phase
can last up to six weeks or until your target weight has been
achieved.

Almased®
recommendations:
It is recommended
to add 2 tsps of oil
(i.e. flaxseed,
walnut, rapeseed,
olive) to each Almased® shake
in order to ensure an adequate
intake of essential fats.
2 tsps of oil = 50kcal (approximately)
A 50g serving of Almased®
mixed with 200-350ml of water
(or 200ml of low-fat milk) and
2 tsps of oil rich in essential
fatty acids is important to
achieve your energy and
nutritional needs.
Throughout the Almased®
programme you need to ensure
that you drink 1.6-2 litres of
fluid per day (i.e. water, herbal
teas, vegetable soup) in order
to help eliminate toxins and to
ensure the body is adequately
hydrated.
The recipe for the vegetable
soup can be found in the
leaflet enclosed in each can
of Almased®.
Adding oil to your
Almased® shakes:
A typical UK diet is high in
saturated fats and low in essential
unsaturated omega-3 fatty acids
such as Alpha-linolenic acid
(ALA), Eicosapentaenoic acid
(EPA) and Docosahexaenoic acid
(DHA). Good sources of these
healthy fats are nuts, seeds, leafy
greens and fish (salmon, sardines,
herring or mackerel) as well as the
oils mentioned above.
Why are these fats important?
The body can not make these
fats, therefore they must be
obtained through our diet.
•Omega-3 fatty acids are
essential dietary additions.
ALA1 assists in the maintenance
of blood cholesterol levels.
•EPA and DHA2 have a positive
influence on heart health and
contribute to normal function
of the heart.
1
This beneficial effect can be found
with a daily intake of 2g of ALA.
2
Beneficial effect is obtained with a
daily intake of 250 mg of EPA and DHA.
To lose weight, calories
consumed must be less
than calories burned.
In order to maintain your
weight after a weight loss
programme, your lifestyle
needs to consist of healthy
nutrition and increased
physical activity. Exercise
increases muscle mass, spurs
energy consumption and can
help with weight loss and
weight maintenance.
Following the Almased®
programme in conjunction
with regular exercise can lead
to improved weight loss and
overall fitness levels.
