SHEKO Success Story: Stepan and Anete

“We’re both pretty lazy when it comes to making breakfast,” Stepan laughs, Anete agrees: “The strange thing is that we love to eat a good breakfast – but we lack the motivation to prepare it!”

Luckily, there's SHEKO: Their shakes save them a lot of time – yet they still get a delicious breakfast and don't have to miss out on enjoyment in the morning . Anete and Stepan also place great importance on a balanced, healthy diet. They don't want to deprive themselves of anything.

But the shakes are not only delicious and healthy, they're also practical: The couple is thrilled that they don't start the day on an empty or full stomach – they've found the perfect in-between solution. Thanks to SHEKO, they're also satisfied until lunchtime .

For the past two years, they have incorporated the 16:8 intermittent fasting method into their diet. This involves consuming food within an eight-hour window, followed by a 16-hour fasting period. The aim is to gently detoxify the body and potentially lose a few pounds.

Anete and Stepan have decided to generally not eat anything after lunch, so they skip dinner. It took some getting used to at first, but they got used to it over time. “And if I happen to be hungry in the evening, I always have a SHEKO shake. It's filling and easy on my conscience.”

They are generally not that strict with their diet . “For example, I’ve been a bit lax with intermittent fasting these past few weeks,” Stepan explains, “but we generally try to stick to it.”

“That was real beach volleyball! When we started playing, we quickly realized: It's simply better if you can jump higher.”

For Stepan, the 'problem' wasn't related to his physique. His weight always fluctuates a bit – Anete doesn't see any difference, and he himself felt comfortable. The goal, therefore, was more about feeling fitter and healthier overall. They wanted to be able to jump higher in beach volleyball, be stronger, and generally place more emphasis on fitness.

Stepan has also lost some weight. But whether that was due to SHEKO, intermittent fasting, or exercise, he can't say for sure: "I started everything at the same time. It was probably the combination."

“For me, it’s definitely the taste. From the beginning, there was also a certain curiosity involved: before we had tried all the varieties, we really wanted to know what they tasted like.”

Stepan is still a huge fan of banana, but he also likes to switch up his flavors. Anete often goes for the classic strawberry. Coffee or matcha, on the other hand, are her first choice when she's craving something sweet and doesn't have any chocolate at home.
