® 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. 3 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. Slim with Almased® THE LONG-TERM PROGRAMME NoT.1 LOSS H WEIG AMME R G PRO NY RMA E IN G 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.

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.
