Exercise is good for your health and your well-being. In order to lose weight, it is important to achieve a negative energy balance which means your body should burn more calories than are consumed through your diet. As one Yokebe shake is between 273-302kcal (depending on flavour), you can achieve the desired negative energy balance without exercise when replacing two of your three meals a day with a Yokebe shake. However, exercise can bring additional weight loss benefits, allowing you to reach your ideal weight faster. We recommend everyone should have moderate physical activity every day to stay healthy. Don’t hesitate to do a brisk walk 30 minutes per day or use the stairs instead of the lift.

You only need to add oil if you are using the Classic Yokebe with Honey. The Chocolate and Strawberry powders have a different formulation which doesn’t require additional oil. The reason that you add oil is, it helps your body to absorb fat soluble vitamins. You only need to add half a teaspoon of vegetable oil to your shake, which you will not be able to notice when you have shaken it up with your shake.
Vegetable oil with a high level of unsaturated fatty acids (sunflower, safflower or grape seed oil).
Adding oil to your Yokebe Natural Honey shake allows your body to absorb the necessary fat-soluble vitamins and provides you with the additional nutrients you need as part of a meal replacement. You do not need to add oil to the Chocolate or Strawberry Shakes because they have a slightly different formulation to the Natural Honey Shake and contain the necessary fats required.
The body needs fats for optimal care alongside carbohydrates and proteins. The recommendation is to use vegetable oil with a high level of unsaturated fatty acids such as sunflower, safflower or grape seed oil.
Yokebe tastes the best when it’s freshly made. However, you can prepare Yokebe a few hours before consumption. Keep the shake cool until use and shake again briefly before serving.
We recommend not heating it as it can destroy the vitamins in the shake. Yokebe tastes its best when shaken and served cold or at room temperature.
Yokebe is a meal replacement. Meal replacements have a proven clinical efficacy for weight loss and weight maintenance and are well accepted by health care professional as a weight loss method.
Everyone has different calorie requirements depending on their shape, genes, daily activity, age and gender. The important thing to remember is that you are creating a calorie deficit in order to facilitate weight loss, the greater the deficit the more weight you will lose. But is it important to ensure you are getting the macro and micronutrients your body needs.
Our general guideline is to snack on fruits and vegetables when you feel hungry between meals. Non-starchy vegetables (this does not include peas, corn, sweet potato and butternut squash) are unlimited and fruits should be limited to 3 a day. Very low calorie meals like thin soups are allowed if you feel the need (recipes and ideas for other low calorie meals can be found here ).
Using Yokebe as a meal replacement helps create a calorie deficit. Since these calories are suddenly not available, the body takes them out of its fat reserves. At the same time, the body continues to be supported by the high quality protein, which supports muscle mass.
The great thing about losing weight with Yokebe is that you lose fat but the high level of Proteins means you retain muscle mass and keep your metabolism active. So you should avoid the yoyo effect.
The Yokebe diet is a good moment to ‘reset’ and learn new nutritional habits, it is important to continue with a healthy lifestyle & eat sensibly after your Yokebe diet to avoid gaining weight again. You can continue to use Yokebe as a weight management tool after you reach your goal, for example by replacing lunch with Yokebe when you’re going to have a big dinner that evening.
