First lose weight, then maintain it – Maraike's SHEKO Story

"I experiment a lot. Because that's what's so cool about SHEKO: The powder can do so much more than 'just be a shake'. For example, in the morning, I stir it into my yogurt and add some chia seeds. Or I bake a cheesecake, or bread and rolls with it. That means I replace about 30% of the flour with the powder, thus increasing its protein content. It's about trying things out, seeing what works and what I can still improve. I'm really enjoying experimenting and discovering new things with it right now!"

What Maraike is describing here is exactly what we want to achieve with SHEKO: for everyone to find their own unique way to use it. From losing weight and maintaining weight to bringing more enjoyment into everyday life – SHEKO supports you in whatever way you need it, and however it feels right for you.

“Totally! I wanted to break free from that diet vicious cycle and get back to healthy eating. And SHEKO simply helped me do that because it's so beautifully easy. I have two children, I'm a single mother, and I have a job. Before SHEKO, I always thought, 'How am I supposed to find time for healthy eating?!' But stirring the powder into yogurt, or shaking it, or baking with it only takes a few seconds. Seeing how easy it is took the pressure off me and opened up the space to look at food and new recipes with curiosity and joy.”

"As I said: I only have the last few kilos left to lose, and I'm approaching that very calmly. Most importantly for me was that there wouldn't be a yo-yo effect. So it's even nicer to see now that I'm still losing weight. That's such a great feeling, because SHEKO is simply part of my daily routine now."

"The variety! Of course, I have my favorites with Espresso and Matcha. They can never run out in my household. But I also always bring variety into it. Thanks to the constantly changing Limited Editions, I'm always happy about new flavors. Now, for example, I've discovered cinnamon for myself. It tastes just like Cini Minis. It simply never gets boring."

"The group motivates me, especially when I'm having a tough time. No one points fingers; instead, everyone empathizes – because they've been there too – and offers encouragement. Plus, I love exchanging ideas about strains and reading others' recipes. It makes me more creative and helps me discover dishes I'd never known before."

"I'm back in the fitness game. In my job as a master hairdresser, I already walk 10,000 steps a day. But now I'm also exercising again and going swimming. That's why I think it's so great that SHEKO also has a lot of protein. You need that if you want to build muscle. And I really feel good in my body."

"I myself started with the weight loss program. That helped me to regain a feeling of satiety. You feel your stomach is full – even though it's just liquid – and the taste gives you a certain sweetness kick, so that your cravings disappear. To get started, I found that brilliant!"
