There are experiences in life that you can either ignore or take to heart. After having a stroke six years ago and a heart attack more recently, I knew I had to lose some weight and be healthier. I couldn’t find any kind of program that fit my lifestyle until one day, I was watching the Ray’s baseball game on TV – my wife and I are big Rays fans by the way and even got married at Tropicana Field, where the Rays play. Anyway, I was watching the game and Almased’s sign popped up behind the home plate. After seeing it, I did some research and I thought, you know, this might look like something that could work because it’s easy. I then did some further research on the product and it all made sense. I can lose the weight and not muscle mass. Also, I kind of figured if it’s the biggest selling weight loss product from Germany, they probably know what they’re doing. So...I bought some and I started on it, went in hard and just stayed at it for four months. It has been amazing, absolutely remarkable how the weight came off. As of today, I am 29 pounds lighter and I feel great. Almased has helped me dramatically. I am maintaining my blood sugar levels and am staying heart-healthy. Lots of good things have happened because of Almased.

Almased FAQ:

Do I need to follow a strict diet regimen on the Almased Diet?

You should follow healthy guidelines. On the 2nd phase, the solid meal should consist of about 500-700 calories. You can have a lean cut of meat (such as skinless chicken), fish or tofu with raw, steamed or cooked vegetables and whole grains. Try to stay away from refined sugars, white rice, pasta, white breads, candy, cakes or any overly processed, fried or prepared foods. These contain excessive artificial ingredients and preservatives your body does not need. Example: 2-3 oz (size of your palm) of skinless chicken or fish, 1-2 cups of green leafy vegetables or a salad with olive oil and vinegar dressing and ½ cup of brown rice. If you get hungry between meals, snack on 3-4 tablespoons of Almased mixed in water, skim milk or almond milk. You can also eat vegetables or a handful of nuts (e.g. walnuts, almonds or pistachios) as a snack.

ALMASED....because it works!


Amy's Weight Loss Success Story
In March of 2012, my doctor told me my weight at 198 lbs was causing me GERD and possible Barrett's Syndrome. I thought running a full 5k was impossible due to my weight and health. I began living a healthier lifestyle and lost about 5 lbs before trying Almased. By July, I lost about 50 pounds with Almased and was feeling great. I joined our local YMCA and began working out...Read More

Post-Holiday Detox with Almased



During the holiday season, it is easy to find yourself indulging in high-calorie, carb-rich foods like pies, gingerbread, and eggnog. While our taste buds are satisfied in the short-term, continual overeating of heavy foods can not only be detrimental to our health, but also slow down the metabolism, making us feel sluggish. To help you start this year off free from holiday gluttony guilt, restore your body’s energy level by following Almased’s 14-Day Figure Plan. Almased can help you reset your metabolism, rebalance blood sugar levels, and rid the bloat that affects your weight and the way you feel. Here's how...Read More

Lycopene
You need it because: It has been shown to help reduce cancers, act as a natural sunscreen, improve skin texture and clarity, guard against heart disease and more!
Where to get it: Tomatoes! Here's a tip; tomatoes are tasty and refreshing when eaten cold and raw - but to get the most bang for your bite, cook them lightly. The heat helps release the lycopene and makes it easier for your body to put it to use.

Logan Lerman (of Percy Jackson fame) once said in an interview:
"My whole family is in orthotics and prosthetics, so I grew up having to check for scoliosis every week. 'Come over. Let me feel your spine.' " .. Ahhhh the life of a child who grows up in a medical family. :-)

Remember - pain is your body telling you that something is wrong. Don't ignore it. It's not all in your head... unless it's literally in your head because you have a headache.

i-lipo | The Intelligent Laser Lipolysis & Body Contouring System

The human body stores excess calories from your diet in adipose tissue. When needed, those fat cells will break down their stored triglycerides into free fatty acids, glycerol and water, providing the body with energy during times of scarcity. That same metabolic process that is induced hormonally by the brain can also be triggered by low level laser energy delivered by iLipo. http://ow.ly/oQHDR

The objective of chiropractic is to return vertebrae, joints and soft tissues to proper alignment, primarily through manual manipulation. Unlike drugs, which often treat pain but not its underlying cause, and surgery, which can be risky and require a long convalescence, chiropractic has no adverse side effects and requires no post-treatment recovery period.
