Good luck. Tomorrow is the end of my first week. I’ve had no side effects, feel good and it has stopped me craving junk as much. I’m hoping for good numbers on the scales tomorrow. Someone told me my skin was looking great today!!
As i am on a PC now and not my phone, I’ll be a bit less lazy about this
I have swapped out my lunch at work for Huel.
It was usually a meal deal with extras.
To cut a long story short, i have always been too lazy to do nutrition properly. I am acitive and if i want fuel, i eat Mars Bars and drink Coke. they are the best and cannot be bettered.
I eat pleanty of greens and nutrition at dinner. This is just lunch thats the problem.
This has led to me putting on weight and after a particularly nasty Infected Prostate :O, I have called time on my shenanigans and resolved to sort myself out.
Luckily i am active.
So how has Huel beed 3 days in?
Fine.
A touch of gas,
Some funny looks from my colleagues and i feel ‘empty’ but not ‘hungry’ which is better than feeling bloated by a long way.
With the afore mentioned lactose and gastro issues, i was dreading it a bit but it has been fine.
I’m not even really missing the coffee i’m now not drinking either.
All in all, a good thing.
If i can stop myself smashing the whole bag of Mint-Choc!
I’ve had a week on Huel now and i feel better. I feel lighter inside and less pressured inside. I even feel like exercising.
Early last week, i essentially forgot i had breakfast so was having 5 scoops of Huel, + Breakfast + Evening Meal. I also had visitors in at work which always leads to beers and rich food. So i was probably calorie neutral by the end of the week.
But I’m happy to report i am one of the lucky ones. No toilet troubles at all.
The scales have not shown any real drop in weight. But like i said, I don’t really expect to after last week. Feeling better is good enough for now.
As I am working from home today, I thought I would make my Huel with 400ml almond milk this morning.
It turned into a pudding. Honestly, a 700ml shake is like a 300ml made with water. It’s great. Of course, that would cost a bloody fortune but I could easily drop a scoop with this. I was waiting to get used to the Huel before trying to seriously calorie count as I’m a hungry beast.
However, i’ll Try a 2 scoop 700ml almond milk shake this afternoon and feed back.
Over the last few years I’ve slowly gone from 15st 8lbs to 12st 3lbs. Along the way I also got stuck on certain weights which it seemed impossible to get past. I was doing nothing different than before. Eventually I would get past them and then carry on losing weight as normal until the next sticky point. I don’t have an answer for it but you’re not alone.
I’m really impatient when it comes to weight loss but 1-2lb a week really does add up in the long run. Plus, its just giving me healthier eating habits and that takes time to sink into the unconscious mind. Stick with it, you’re doing great.
I don’t know whether you figured it out, but you only need to add about 100 ml of almond milk to thicken your Huel up. I don’t understand how it works, but it does.
