Maike got control of her blood pressure and lost 10 kg with Oviva
Maike, 39, found her own unique way to lose weight with Oviva. So far, she’s lost 10 kg on her journey. Maike feels Oviva supports her perfectly – without pressure or stress.
Achieving a sustainable change in diet can be challenging when you don’t have support, so don’t do it alone. See if you’re eligible for the same support that helped Maike lose 10 kg.
Before discovering Oviva, Maike tried numerous weight loss methods, including meal replacement shakes, cabbage soup diets, and calorie counting. Her experience? These approaches brought quick results, but the weight always came back, leaving her where she started.
The reason, she realised, was that these methods didn’t foster lasting habits or work for the long term. Despite the setbacks, Maike kept trying, hoping to find an approach that delivered permanent results.
“My doctor told me to take blood pressure medication – but I wanted a medication-free alternative.”
Things came to a head during a routine check-up when Maike’s doctor found she had high blood pressure due to her weight. She was prescribed medication, but this moment sparked a deep motivation in Maike: to manage her blood pressure without relying on pills. She began searching for alternatives.
“I was looking for a way to find my own individual path.”
At first, Maike encountered the usual weight loss advice online – mostly about exercising more to increase calorie burn. But these approaches didn’t resonate with her.
In her search for a more personal and pressure-free path, Maike came across Oviva. The idea of losing weight sustainably without strict rules, bans, or calorie counting appealed to her, so she decided to give it a try.
“What I love is that I don’t feel pressured to follow strict rules, yet I’m still losing weight.”
Reflecting on her journey so far, Maike confirms that her initial positive impression of Oviva was accurate. She particularly values the lack of pressure and rigid rules. Instead, she can identify her own areas for improvement and create a healthier lifestyle that works for her.
Rather than chasing a single big plan or goal, Maike focuses on small, manageable steps. This approach makes it easier for her to make progress and stay motivated. “A lot of what you learn isn’t entirely new, but breaking it down into manageable details and tackling things one step at a time is so helpful. It takes the pressure off,” Maike explains.
“By taking photos of your meals, you start to reflect on how you’re really eating.”
Maike is particularly impressed by Oviva’s intuitive photo food diary. Taking pictures of her meals has helped her become more aware of her eating habits. “Then, you receive small portions of learning content that encourage further reflection,” she says.
The combination of easy, time-saving meal tracking and deeper insights has been a game-changer for her. By making small adjustments – like drinking more water and adding more protein to her meals using the “plate method” – Maike has already lost 10kg.
The plate method is where you fill half your plate with veggies, a quarter with lean protein and a quarter with healthy carbs – simple!
“I feel fitter in my everyday life.”
For Maike, it’s clear that her journey is ongoing. She already feels much fitter and more energetic in her daily life. One particular highlight is her progress in yoga; she’s now able to perform poses that were previously too difficult due to her higher weight. Maike plans to take her time reaching her ideal long-term weight but is already confident in recommending Oviva: “Just sign up – you’ve got nothing to lose. And the costs are covered!”
