Diana's start with SHEKO

You found out you have cancer in November 2022. How did you react to the diagnosis?

"For me, the diagnosis was a real eye-opener. I realized how important it is to be healthy . I lost my mother at a young age. I want to be there for my own children for a long time, and fit and happy . That's why I decided while still in the hospital that I was going to make some changes."

Diana is undergoing chemotherapy when she starts searching for shakes online. She has no prior experience with them, so she decides to try them out.

"There were some cheap shakes among them. But I just couldn't drink them. During chemo, I struggled a lot with nausea. Some days I couldn't eat anything at all. Then I ordered SHEKO. It was the first shake that I liked and that my body could keep down."

From 0 to 100: Diana loses weight and gains energy

What happened to you after your chemotherapy with SHEKO?

"As I said, the diagnosis was a real wake-up call . I knew then that I wanted to lose weight and live a healthier life. Before that, I had tried on and off to get rid of the kilos I had gained during my second pregnancy – but without success. I couldn't stick to just counting calories."

Diana went from zero to one hundred in no time. Back in her daily routine, she started by replacing her breakfast with SHEKO . "At first, it was difficult for me to get used to eating again. Because I was always nauseous before, I couldn't eat much. But in my job in home care, I need energy. Now I start my day with SHEKO before having a fresh meal in the afternoon."

Flexible nutrition with SHEKO

Yoga, SHEKO & Co. – this is how Diana lost 45 kilos

Many people have commented on how different you look. What else has helped you on your journey to becoming a "healthier you"?

"I've changed three things: I drink a shake in the morning . I've started intermittent fasting – I don't eat anything after 6 pm. And I've discovered yoga ."

In the first few weeks with SHEKO, Diana already lost 8 kilos . Today she happily reports that she has already lost 45 kilos *. And above all, how good she feels about it.

"I feel much fitter and more flexible. At first, I sometimes thought during yoga, 'Phew, that's enough for now.' Now I hardly want to stop. Even on vacation, I'm already on my yoga mat in the morning and I'm happy when my children join in. It's such a wonderful feeling. After all, my wish was to be healthy for my kids . And now we're standing there together in downward-facing dog. It simply makes me happy."

You sound very disciplined and determined. Have there ever been moments when you wanted to give up?

"Sure, there were moments. But the moments when I see how much better I feel simply outweigh them. And I use those as motivation to keep going. But – between you and me – it's not like I'm depriving myself of anything. If I feel like having chocolate, I'll eat two pieces now and then. It's just a matter of keeping everything within reason and still maintaining a calorie deficit."

Diana tells us that she still wants to lose about 10 kilos, is determined to continue with yoga, and has developed a new awareness of her satiety signals . "I can feel when I'm full and then I stop eating. That wasn't always the case."

She also says that she experiences fewer cravings with SHEKO. She can resist sweets much better – even though she "could have lived on chocolate" back then.

"I could have lived on chocolate back then."

Diana's success story shows us that SHEKO isn't just about losing weight. We believe that personal happiness should be the focus . Balance is key – and everyone can find it for themselves. Perhaps on the yoga mat, perhaps while enjoying a chocolate treat in front of the TV, or maybe on an active family vacation. Health is what you make of it.

Losing weight with SHEKO: Diana's tips

1
Motivate each other

Find a group that shares the same goal. In a chat group and at regular meetings, you can encourage each other, share successes, and support each other whenever someone is having a tough time.

2
Weigh less

Diana only weighs herself once a week to avoid stress. She also knows that the menstrual cycle affects weight. Many women experience water retention just before their period, which can add up to three kilos to their weight, but this disappears again naturally. So please don't be alarmed.

3
Small changes

A radical change scares many people. But it's often the little things that can lead to significant changes. For example: You don't have to go to the gym every day. Take the stairs instead of the elevator. Or: Start by simply replacing your buttery breakfast croissant with a shake. You can gradually ease your way towards a healthier diet.

Important NOTE:

Nutrition during and after cancer treatment should always be discussed with a doctor or qualified healthcare professional. Individual needs and medical requirements can vary from case to case. Therefore, you should ensure that the shakes meet your specific health goals and requirements.

*The amount of weight loss varies from person to person and cannot be guaranteed. Similarly, the weight loss results reported in the SHEKO stories are individual and do not guarantee a corresponding weight loss within the same timeframe. To lose weight, two daily meals must be replaced with SHEKO shakes as part of a calorie-reduced diet.
