A healthy gut means 5 smaller pant sizes: Christina's SHEKO story

"The gut cleanse was like the starting signal for a healthier life for me. I turned everything upside down afterwards: I changed my diet and started going to the gym twice a week for weight training. I also downloaded a calorie-tracking app and ordered probiotics to rebuild my gut. It was clean now, but it was still missing the 'right' bacteria."

To make your gut happy, we developed our gut flora weight loss companion . Composed of research-based bacterial strains and a sophisticated combination of vitamins, it supports your gut health and specifically stimulates your energy metabolism.

“I had already lost 20 kg* and wanted to build muscle. That's why I was looking for a protein shake. When I read that SHEKO provides a lot of protein and also helps with weight management, I thought: ‘Bingo, I'm killing two birds with one stone.’ So I ordered my first tub and took it with me on vacation.”

"People always think that losing weight has to involve deprivation. And to a certain extent, that's true. If I want to lose weight, I do have to pay attention to how much I eat – but not necessarily what I eat. We ate out a lot on vacation. That included fast food with the kids. And I was worried that my scales would ruin my mood when we got back home. But because I replaced a few meals with SHEKO , I actually continued to lose weight. That convinced me."

"The transition was a process – involving a lot of trial and error. As I said before: it was important to me to understand my body and find my own way . For example, I discovered that I can't tolerate raw food in the evenings. It gives me a stomach ache. But that might be the solution for others. I believe it's important that everyone finds their own individual 'right' approach."

"I don't really have a 'normal day'. That's precisely the beauty of SHEKO – it gives you much more freedom and allows you to flexibly decide when and what you eat. Generally, I try to eat little fat and hardly any short-chain carbohydrates – like pasta. Instead, I focus on plenty of protein. This means that in the morning I eat oatmeal with skyr and berries, at lunchtime I stick to a balanced mixed diet, and in the evening I cook a protein-rich meal."

When Christina started SHEKO, she replaced one or two meals a day with the shake. After losing a total of 31 kg* , her weight loss suddenly slowed. This prompted her to switch to the 'interval shake' method: one week she replaced two meals with the shake, the next week only one. Alternating the calorie intake each week helped her continue her success story.

"I'd like to lose a few more kilos. I have a specific number in mind. But to be completely honest, I've already had a highlight moment. I recently ordered trousers in different sizes because I didn't know which ones currently fit me. When I realized I 'd gone down five trouser sizes , I had tears of joy in my eyes. I can hardly put into words how wonderful it is to be in my own body."
