I read the VLCD use cheap nasty proteins and other low quality ingredients, its not a healthy diet and Iāve never seen anyone use one and keep the weight off.
I am a similar weight to the poster who started this topic, 18st, 6ft, mixture of muscle and a ton of fat so Iām guessing a healthy weight for me 13 stone, or 70 something pounds to lose. That is a heck of a lot. So if you stick with it Iāll be here too, hoping I see some good results all around.
Hi Peter! Iāll be here if you need motivation ! I was 17.11 when I started
Now 16.5
Looking to get to 12 stone
But first target is 15 stone

Good luck (not that youāll need it)

Hi @TurboTom,
I am the same height as you and just shy of 18 stone. I was supposed to start gung ho today but I have been sick since last week.
Will be interesting to see how you get on as we are the same height, but most likely diff body compositions. Let the experiment begin!
Hi @Nimz_Varsani & @TurboTom
I started your journey this time last year, Iām 5ft11" and in Jan 2016 I weighed in at just over 21stone (294lbs). One year in and I am now 14st 8lbs. I only started to use Huel in September and found that it really helped. I am currently Heulling twice a day (2 x 3 scoops). Last year was quite the year for me, my advice for you both is this.
Slow and steady wins the race, donāt try and go for big losses, be consistent in your diet and your exercise. I started off with walking regularly (short distances at first, then building up slowly). Donāt get disheartened when you stumble and fall off plan (trust me this will happen!).
What I am about to say I hope you see as motivational (I am not trying to brag)ā¦
This time last year I struggled with a 4 mile walk, was out of breath, my back was in agony and I couldnāt see much hope for myself in getting fit and healthy. Fast forward one year, I am currently training for my first half marathon (March 19th)! I am nothing special, just a normal bloke who got fed up with being overweight, if I can do it, so can you! All the best for the up and coming adventures!

Hi @Nimz_Varsani
Very intresting
Thatās great news well done you and keep up the good work!! its great to hear your success.
Iām only on day one lol ( I did try one last night to try out)
Tried it with the Huel Toffee flavour last night and I can taste the Stevia, leaving a bad after taste.
Decided to get creative did a 4 scoop mix 1000ml water with some frozen strawberrys in my Vita Mix (Breakfast & Lunch)
Will be having a healthy dinner tonight (NO Beer)) to bump up my kcals as I realise that 4 scoops is not much, but as I donāt normally eat all day Iāve felt full all day, dont think I can manage 6 scoops yet .

That is amazing!
What has been your diet plan other than the 2 Huel per day?
Good luck with the training !!
Last year was a crazy year!
I started off going low carb high protein. This was sustainable in the early days as the only exercise I was doing was walking. About May time I introduced HIIT training, so re-introduced healthy carbs back into my diet for energy. By about September my focus was on a balanced diet which is when I discovered Huel! My main weakness was sugary goods as I have a sweet tooth, so I focused on eliminating refined sugars from my diet. This combined with the idea of not drinking my calories (sticking to water) made a huge difference.
Today I focus on a balanced diet, avoid refined sugars and stick to drinking mainly water (with the exception for the odd beer here and there!).
