You've spent years dieting.
But you've never been able to reach your goal and stay there.
Instead you 'fall off the wagon' and blame yourself.
It's time for a new wagon!
I’m Sheryl Takayama, weight loss coach and founder of Why Weight Academy.
I know what it’s like to wake up full of regret about what you ate the day before and I’m on a mission to help every woman get off the dieting bandwagon and wake up feeling full of joy!
I want you to discover what I’ve found: a way of eating so delicious that you can achieve your goals and never feel like you are on a diet.
A way of eating that’s flexible so you can enjoy restaurant meals and special occasions without feeling like you are missing out.
The system I’ve learnt to keep off to master weight maintenance and shared with my clients to help them do the same.
I've helped thousands of women change their lives.
I'd love for you to be next!

You want off the crazy diet bandwagon
We know that diets don’t work but that doesn’t stop us from trying!
We waste so much time looking for the magic fix. Going from diet to diet, hoping each time that it will be final solution so we can lose the weight and never gain it back.
We start the week full of motivation and discipline, only to be back in the food by Friday, promising ourself that we will ‘start again on Monday’.
It’s exhausting!
It’s lonely.
It’s frustrating.
We blame ourself for not being able to stick to the diet and giving in.
There's a better way
I know because I found it
I lost 30kgs and have kept it off for 23 years
We all have different reasons behind our weight gain. Mine was using food as a way of dealing with grief. I turned to food and emotionally eating and gained 20kgs in one year!
The worst thing wasn’t how uncomfortable it felt, it was the fact that I let the weight stop me from enjoying one of my greatest joys in life – singing – because I was too embarrassed to get up on stage.
Diets worked for a short time but we know how impossible it is to follow a restrictive eating plan and feel hungry. I would always give up, gaining all the weight back – plus interest!
Then I discovered what actually worked and it changed my life.
This is what I want for you:
- To lose your weight and be confident that you will NEVER find it again
- To help you learn how to enjoy all the special occasions and still stay on track
- To support you every step of the way so you are seen and heard
- To help you discover the joy of fitting all the clothes in your wardrobe again!
- To give you the strategies to help you bust through plateaus on the scale with ease
I'll teach you how to eat delicious food, lose weight and keep it off.
It's your time!
If you are looking for:
- A plan that is structured so you know EXACTLY what to eat

Why Weight academy is incredible, the information is so good - everything you need to succeed.....and not just with weight loss - so many other areas of your life. The closed Facebook group is also great - talking with other women on the same journey, sharing ideas and recipes.
Why Weight Acadamy is not a diet plan - it's so much more! it's a mentor, a friend, and someone who has walked the walk!
It's a choice to take care of your health and wellbeing. I have maintained my weight (give or take a couple of kilos) for over six years, and I know I couldn't have done this without Sheryl.
I have been a member of the Why Weight Academy for just over one year now. I was down to the last 7 kgs and thought I could do it myself, but no, so I reached out to Sheryl for help and it was the best thing I have ever done.
Sheryl gave me simple strategies to follow. What worked for me was following a food plan, accountability and changing my mindset. Sheryl is such a dynamic and energetic person. My partner says I always had a skip in my step and I was so motivated after every session with Sheryl. Working with Sheryl has changed my relationship with food and I will eat like this for the rest of my life.
Are you ready to put yourself first?
- Ready to feel hope again
- Look forward to going to the beach
- Face your wardrobe with joy instead of dread
- Make health a priority again
- Look after yourself the same way you look after everyone else

This programme is the accumulation of what I’ve learnt on my own weight loss journey over the past 23 years as well as working as a coach for the past 12 years.

frequently asked questions
Low carb is the foundation food plan of the Academy programme. You will be given a food plan template with suggested portions of protein, carbohydrate and fat. The number of meals/snacks per day will depend on how much weight you need to lose. In the eating guide you will find all the different options for protein/carbs/fat along with a meal options sheet and recipe guide. This way of eating is based on simple, real food. No supplements or special foods are required.
No. The benefit of eating low carb is that you will be having portions of healthy fat throughout the day. Fat helps to keep you satiated so you shouldn’t be hungry.
Yes. It is possible to be vegetarian/vegan and still follow a low carb plan. The key is to make sure you are eating enough protein throughout the day. Vegetarian/vegan protein options are included within the eating guide.
No you don’t. With the food plan you get a template of portions for protein/carbohydrate/fat that you should follow each meal. On the meal options sheet you will find lots of suggestions for different meals. But, it’s up to you which meals you choose to eat. Low carb eating can be as simple or as complicated as you want it to be.
You will get access to the private website with all the resources as soon as you sign up so you can start straight away.
Pregnancy is an important time and your needs are unique. If you are concerned about your nutrition during pregnancy, please book in a 1-1 appointment so we can discuss your individual needs.
Yes. If you suffer from irritable bowel syndrome, it is possible to follow a low-carb plan and lose weight. The key for most people is to limit your intake of high FODMAP vegetables as it is often these high-fibre vegetables that can cause irritation. I suffer from IBS and have managed my symptoms really well
No. You don’t have to weigh yourself if you don’t want to. This is your journey and all that matters is that you are getting results you are happy with. Everyone has their own goals and weighing yourself is not compulsory.
