“As a rule, I never had any problems with my diet. However, when you're at home all day, it's a completely different story: Lunch is cooked for the children, you eat again in the evening, and then there are snacks on the couch.”
Another problem: Janine isn't a fan of healthy food; for example, she doesn't like eating low-calorie vegetables. On top of that, she doesn't really enjoy cooking – partly because she simply doesn't have the time to relax in the kitchen with three children.
Often, after a hard day of homeschooling, looking after the children, and cleaning, washing, etc., Janine would treat herself to some well-deserved snacks. Brushing her teeth right after dinner? No way. For Janine, that was just the beginning: chips, a glass of wine to relax, and ice cream—not just a spoonful or two, but half a tub. Janine knew that couldn't be good for her health.
Although she is athletic, cycles and has discovered yoga since last summer, the snacks and the pandemic have left their mark .
Was there a moment when it “clicked”?
“Of course, I noticed along the way that snacking and unhealthy food weren't good and that I was getting further and further away from my ideal weight... After some time, however, I became even more aware of this and said to myself: Okay, that's enough now!”
Eventually, she reached a point where she didn't like herself at all anymore. She knew then that things couldn't go on like this . Luckily, it was only a matter of time before she met Sheko.
How did you become aware of SHEKO?
“To be honest, I hadn’t even looked for special shakes or anything like that! Now I couldn’t do without them…”
Janine did explore new recipes, but she wasn't looking for ways to feel good about herself again. She tried several new low-calorie dishes, but was never really impressed.
But then SHEKO was suggested to her on Instagram. Janine wondered what harm it could do – and ordered it right away.
