Losing weight with SHEKO: Mathias' story

"There was indeed a key moment. As part of the start of my apprenticeship, I had to undergo a body scan, for which I stood on a bathroom scale, among other things. When the result lit up – 118 kg – it was quite embarrassing."

The obvious conclusion after this unpleasant experience: from now on, eat less and cycle a lot! While this combination did result in rapid weight loss , its limitations made it unsuitable for long-term use . Moreover, after just a few weeks, Mathias hit a plateau . Searching for a solution to his weight loss stall, Mathias discovered Thai boxing. Intense training kept him sweating twice a week for a while, but this meant his healthy diet suffered. And when a herniated disc made training impossible, Mathias had to look for a solution once again.

In September 2019, after struggling to lose the first few pounds and later permanently with Weight Watchers, Lisa came into his life – and with her, SHEKO. Due to numerous negative experiences with their range of shakes, Mathias initially declined. But how bad could a weight-loss shake taste that his girlfriend drank every morning? A brave taste test finally convinced Mathias. Since then, the colorful SHEKO containers have been a permanent fixture in his kitchen cupboard.

During the week, his routine is dictated by his workday. After his morning shake, he snacks throughout the day on boiled eggs or raw vegetables with dip. Freshly brewed coffee is a must. On some days, Mathias even drinks two shakes.

"Losing weight without exercise is difficult, but as we all know, diet makes up the majority of it. It is possible without exercise. And I do a little bit of exercise to strengthen my back – yoga and Pilates. I adapt certain exercises to my body's needs."

In addition to short but effective workouts, Mathias walks at least 10,000 steps a day. He's literally approaching his goal weight step by step. Set yourself small goals !
