Stuart Couldn’t Tie His Shoelaces — Now He’s 32kg Down and Full of Energy

Back in September 2024 I started using The Man Shake and it's been the best decision I have made in a long time.  

Only a couple of months earlier, I had bought new clothes and they weren’t fitting me as I had “grown” out of them. Seeing photos of myself I thought, “how did I let this happen?”. I was 133.4kg and struggling with everyday activities, including simple tasks like tying my shoelaces.  

I thought “I have nothing to lose (except weight) and everything to gain” so I ordered a starter pack of shakes. To be honest, I wasn’t sure what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised. The flavours were great, and they were quite filling. I was having a shake for breakfast, some walnuts or a Man Bar mid-morning, another shake for lunch, and another healthy snack in the afternoon. At night I was just having my normal dinner with my family.  

After 4 weeks I had already lost 8 kgs!! I hadn’t even started exercising yet and the weight was coming off. Another 4 weeks went by and I was another 6 kgs down. The next 4 weeks another 3.5kgs. I was starting to really feel the difference and it inspired me to stay strong and continue to make the right “healthier” choices each day.  

After 4 months, I had lost 25.6kgs all through diet alone, but I knew I needed to start exercising. This wasn't just to continue the weight loss, but to now start getting fitter. Being much lighter it felt like I could get back on my elliptical machine and out on my push bike and start building my fitness. As my fitness increased, the weight loss slowed, but I was starting to notice changes to my body. There was an increase in muscle in my legs and a decrease in fat around my stomach. My belt ran out of holes and I had to get smaller pants, a definite sign of the positive progress I was making.  

Today, just over 7 months from starting this journey, I have lost over 32.5kgs and I am feeling great! My current weight is 101.7kg. My energy levels are much higher and I sleep much better as I’m not snoring (something my wife is very happy about). My blood pressure has come way down, and my resting heart rate has dropped by about 20 beats per minute.  

I continue to have The Man Shake for breakfast and lunch (my favourite flavour is the Mixed Berries 😋) and healthy snacks including the Man Bars. I still go out for dinner occasionally and have a beer or 3 and know that I am continuing to head in the right direction. I still want to lose another 5-10kgs and I know it will happen over the coming weeks/months.  

The Man Shakes work!! They taste amazing and have turned my life around. I can’t thank The Man Shake enough for getting my life back to where I want to be.
