Sylvia's start with SHEKO
Sylvia: Fewer kilos, more joy in life
You discovered SHEKO for yourself in December 2021. What sparked your desire to lose weight?
"I never really had problems with my weight. But then, in 2009, my thyroid was removed and I started taking medication. My weight changed . I gained weight. When I was in the hospital after a heart attack, the doctors told me I had to change something. That wasn't exactly new to me. But it was the first time that it really 'clicked'."
Sylvia soon discovered SHEKO on Facebook. Even though – or perhaps precisely because – she had already tried other shakes without success, she ordered her first package to be delivered to her home. Her motto: Never give up!
What made the difference for you?
"The taste. I still remember making my first shake and thinking, 'Wow, this is delicious.' I could hardly believe that something that tastes like a dessert could also be healthy. But then even my nutritionist told me that the ingredients sounded great. That convinced me twice over."
When developing our SHEKO shakes , we always make sure they are both healthy and delicious. 27 vitamins and minerals provide your body with essential trace elements. All flavors come from real fruits and spices. Artificial? Not with us. We focus on naturally sweet taste – no matter the flavor.
Sylvia's favorites: banana, chocolate & strawberry
The new Sylvia: This is what has changed with SHEKO
When you started with SHEKO, you replaced two meals with the shakes. When did you see results?
"That went really fast. It didn't even take a month before I had already reached my first small goal . That was on New Year's Day 2022. So my good intention was simply to keep at it. I knew where I wanted to go."
As a little motivation, Sylvia ordered trousers that didn't fit her back then. They were too tight. Her goal: to be able to wear the new styles in the summer. Without pinching or squeezing.
Did the thing with the trousers work out?
"I can hardly believe it myself, but yes, it worked! The trousers fit perfectly now. I've lost three sizes overall. Recently, I took some clothes from last year out of my wardrobe and laid them out. Then I placed my summer clothes on top. The difference was enormous. I was really surprised. But also a little proud."
That could very well be you. Do you notice any other differences?
"I feel much happier and more carefree in my everyday life. Many things are easier for me – like cleaning the house or walking my dogs. Walking several kilometers is no longer a problem for me. I feel really comfortable in my own skin."
At SHEKO, our mission is to bring more joy and pleasure back into everyday life. We believe that a good mood is healthier than any strict meal plan. We want to take the pressure off of always having to "do everything perfectly."
With SHEKO: 17 kilos* without yo-yo effect
You've managed to maintain your weight for quite some time now. How do you do that?
"These days, I only replace my breakfast with a SHEKO shake . Otherwise, I eat relatively healthily. I've switched to eating a lot of vegetables and just pay a little attention to moderation. But I also have to say that I do indulge sometimes. I eat out or occasionally drink red wine. The great thing is that thanks to SHEKO, I don't crave sweets at all. "
SHEKO isn't just for weight loss, it's also ideal for effective weight management. We want you to enjoy the benefits of your success long-term. To maintain your weight, we recommend replacing one meal a day with a shake. SHEKO also makes changing your diet easier, allowing you to break old eating habits and integrate new ones into your daily routine. It's flexible, uncomplicated, and above all, enjoyable.

Sylvia hardly recognizes herself when she looks at old photos. The difference makes her happy. It reminds her of what she has achieved. That gives her the motivation to keep going.
Sharing successes with others or encouraging each other makes you strong. Perhaps you have friends who have similar goals to you. Or you could look for a group on Facebook where you feel comfortable and enjoy exchanging ideas.
* 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.
