Want to get healthy and shed those kilos? Turns out, it's not just about hitting the gym or listening to a personal trainer.

It begins with what you put in your mouth. It's time to forget punishing yourself with intense workouts after indulging in pizza. Science has shown that weight loss is more about what you eat than how much you sweat. Get ready to dive into studies that prove the power of healthy eating in losing those extra kilos.



It all boils down to a simple equation: consume less energy than you burn. Sounds easy, right?

  • When you eat more calories than you burn, you gain weight.
  • But when you burn more calories than you eat, you'll shed those pounds.

 Throughout the day, your body naturally burns calories through basic functions and movement. If you want to lose weight without being super active, just eat less and create a calorie deficit.

To create a calorie deficit, you have two options:

  • Eat fewer calories; or
  • Burn more calories.



No matter how much you run or work out, if your food intake isn't packed with nutrition, your weight loss efforts will be in vain.

Don’t forget - exercise affects your appetite in a big way. If you're not fuelling up with the right calories, this can create a never-ending cycle that keeps your weight loss stuck at a plateau.

Daily exercise doesn’t have to be torture. Start small, take the stairs instead of the escalator or taking a short walk during your lunch break or after work. You can even do some easy exercises from your couch! This way, you can get moving without the hunger-inducing effects of a full-blown workout.



Exercise is still awesome. It's crucial for our health, mobility, and survival in the long run. We're not saying you should ditch it completely, but it's all about doing what you can, when you can.

  • Exercise has incredible perks for both body and mind.
  • It lowers the risk of type 2 diabetes, stroke, and heart disease.
  • It even helps with the blues.



Using The Man Shake even just at breakfast leaves you room for overall calories at lunch and dinner with a few sneaky beers without you stacking on the weight and still enjoying everyday life.

While it’s possible to lose weight without lifting a finger, the best way to do it for long-term success is to find that sweet spot of calories, with a combination of eating well plus a basic exercise that works for you.
