Huel

Can anyone tall to me about huel? I like slimfast because its straight forward, cheap and easily available. I'll transfer to mfp when I've lost a bit and I'm ready. But for now 3 snacks 2 shake one meal is perfect, I dont have to think over much.

Has anyone used huel to lose weight? I like the idea of savory options, but there isn't a clear plan online.

Thought I'd update.
I've done 2 days so far!
I've had huel black banana flavour and had a 'shake' at about 11, one at 3, I work until 8,so one at about half 8 when I get home and one before bed at about 10.00.
Ive been having 2 close together at night because bedtime snacking is my major downfall and I wanted to be full then.
I've got bars which aren't really very delicious but there if I want one.
I had one this morning at about 9 as I was hungry.
I've noticed when I have a shake I think it's not really going to be filling but then after about 20 minutes I feel a lot more satisfied.
The shakes are 400 calories each and the bars 200. For this week I'm thinking 4 shakes a day and a bar if I want. Or an extra shake if I want.
It's OK so far. I like the flavour.
I think it's a bit hard wanting to munch just because it's nice. Although I'm not actually hungry. I'm also not limiting coffee. Just have it as I normally would.
In a way its nice not thinking what I will eat as its just the huel. Its good to know I'm getting the nutrition I need too.
Will let you know later in the week how it goes !

I've just placed my first order with huel. Feels like a scary commitment if I don't like it. £50 for 2 packets of powder and some protein bars isn't bad if it does the job/ I like the flavour though

I have a referral code if anyone wants it, gets you £10 off over £40.

I'll try and remember to feedback what I think of it too. For reference I'm using it with the aim of weightloss 🤞🏻

I've been doing this for 6 days and lost 1kg.
Huel only though

Rollerbird · 05/09/2021 07:40

Happy to share code 😁

Cluelessgardener · 05/09/2021 13:40

Ordered the strawberry and cream flavour and oh my it's vile. It's like drinking blended sand. It's so thick and has no flavour. I do not recommend and I'm really gutted about it

Cluelessgardener · 05/09/2021 14:07

I've got a whole pouch for sale if anyone wants to buy it 🤣

Rollerbird · 05/09/2021 18:03

How much @cluelesshardener?
Is it an unopened one?

Cluelessgardener · 05/09/2021 19:05

@Rollerbird I've got one opened with 2 scoops gone and one unopened. £20 for the unopen one £35 for both? Is that fair? I think it was £45 new for both.

Rollerbird · 05/09/2021 19:40

I'll pm you.

MissSmiley · 19/09/2021 12:52

@Rollerbird

I've been doing this for 6 days and lost 1kg. Huel only though
@Rollerbird I want to jump and do 100% but I'm worried about my bowels, how did you find it?
Rollerbird · 19/09/2021 14:27

Mine have been fine. 2nd week a lot healthier poos actually. I don't think I had been eating enough fibre.
Maybe a bit more windy. But nothing horrendous.
I had a family meal out and it derailed me for a few days as I really wanted food again!
Back on it now.

Nearlyreadytopop · 04/10/2021 22:08

Slight zombie here but just wondering how you are all getting on with your Huel?

Albylolo · 02/11/2021 14:07

I’ve just started having Huel for my breakfast and definitely able to reduce snacking as it keeps me super full.
Not sure I’d want to use it for more than one meal a day but interested to hear how others manage that!
