My name is George, and I’ve lost over 60kgs thanks to the Man Shake.
My wife Alissa, and I started the shakes together, we’ve been together for 14 years and over time we fell into a really unhealthy lifestyle. Eventually, the weight just piled on, and at my heaviest I was wearing a size 6 XL, and my wife was wearing a size 18-20. I realised that if I kept going down the path I was on, I wouldn't be here to see my kids graduate high school or get married.
I first heard about the Man Shake when I was listening to a podcast and they were talking about how they [the hosts] used it and it had been successful for them. It sounded like a realistic change, and I thought to myself, “this is something I can actually do!”
I started looking into it, and eventually asked my wife if she wanted to join me on the weight loss journey. She jumped at the opportunity, and she started The Lady Shake and I started The Man Shake.
We officially started our weight loss journey on the 23rd of February 2022. My starting weight was 159.8kgs, and my wife’s was 107.4kgs. It was a difficult journey, but we both started the rapid weight loss program of 2 shakes, 2 snacks, dinner and 3 litres of water a day together.
It’s so hard to start something by yourself, especially when you need discipline and to stay focused on your goal. Having the support of my wife definitely gave me the drive to help make my weight loss happen. Having someone by your side to hold you accountable for your food choices was one of the biggest things for me that was key in making The Man Shake work. We would hold each other responsible and make healthy dinners we’d eat together. My favourite flavours are definitely Cookies & Cream, and Birthday Cake – they're the bomb! My wife loves the Chocolate Mint!
A big change in our lifestyle and key in our weight loss was exercising. We started walking 6kms a day 5 days a week, and also started going to the gym together. Although we’ve made some big changes, we still have a ‘treat day’ once a week where we still eat healthy but choose to have 4 alcoholic drinks instead of ‘cheat food.’ We choose quality drinks over quantity; we just earn them now by going for a walk the morning of and the morning after.
It was just over 12 months since starting I hit my major goal of double digits! I’ve officially lost 60.4kgs thanks to The Man Shake, and my wife has lost 34kgs on The Lady Shake.
If you have been thinking about making this lifestyle change we are proof that you can do it. I'm living proof that you can lose the gut without losing all the beers. Don't keep putting it off. Jump in and start today. You won't regret it!
