Eating just Huel

[pierremirre]

I just got my first batch och Huel my intension is to loos some wheight. Is there anyone else who just eat Huel? My plan is to have Huel as my only source of nutrition for at least 30 days?

[Coup]

There are people who eat only Huel. But why do you feel you need to do this?

Also people need to adjust to Huel. Diving straight into 100% is not a good idea.

Have one meal a day, Around 2 to 2.5 scoops for the first few days.

[pierremirre]

My reason is that I for a period of time want to have easy control over my calorie intake to maximize my weight loss.

It’s obviously up to you but I do not agree with your approach.

Huel is not a weight loss product. Huel is a food. Huel should be incorporated into your lifestyle in a sustainable way. Most people’s bodies also need to adjust to Huel.

It does seem you want to dive into Huel 100% for 1 month, lose as much weight as possible and then go back to regular food.

Surely you can prepared 1-2 healthy meals per day and use Huel in conjunction with those?

I replace two of my meals with Huel. 60g granola for breakfast, 76g/400-500ml (water) shake for lunch and a high veg, low cal meal for dinner. I use MyFitnessPal to count calories and have lost 14lbs since 10th October. Another 8lb to lose and I will have reached my ultimate goal. Will definitely be continuing with Huel though, weightloss wasn’t the main reason for me starting Huel in the first place. It’s become a part of my daily life now and I feel so much better for it.

No, I intend to go 100 % Huel the first month, then begin to eat regular healthy food as lunch or dinner. I know that Huel is food and not a weight loss product. But it’s a way to easy control amount of calories. I started this thread to see if there we’re anyone else’s that has done the same thing and there experiences of that.

A lot of people experience gas, bloating, heartburn, diarrhea or similar symptoms when they start on Huel. We believe this is due to the high fibre content, compared to a low fibre diet of most people.

Has anyone NOT had awful gas when starting?

I just drank my first meal at lunch, and I’m stuck here reading horror stories about how I’m 90% likely to poop myself sometime in the next 24 hours. Or to gas everyone I know. Has anyone started with Huel and just been okay? No awful gas, no razor thin dashes to the bathroom? I could do with some reassurance!! EDIT - One week in I’m doing fine. I’ve replaced my lunch at work every week with Huel, but I still have a regular meal for breakfast (normally toast and eggs) and for dinner. I had …

Heartburn/Indigestion on Huel

Let me start by saying that I love Huel. I particularly love the vanilla flavour and was Huelling 100% at one point but I’m about to give up here due to the constant, low level heartburn I get when I consume the vanilla flavour. I’ve tried the UU but I really can’t take to it AND it doesn’t fill me up. Apart from non stop omeprazole, has anyone got any ideas how to solve this issue? I’ve tried mixing vanilla with half UU, I’ve tried following it with a drink of water. Other than that I feel…

Heartburn / Bloating Anyone?

Hello, Have been using Huel for the last month or so. Use it to replace 1 or 2 meals per day. Post Huel meal, I get bloated and start feeling heartburn (mild). Before huel never had this. Using 1.1 sweetened version. Any ideas? Thanks

New hueler - really bad heartburn

Hello all, new hueler here, thinking about trying it for a long while but finally decided to give it a go, primarily because of my yo-yoing weight over the last few years, and that I’m incredibly lazy when it comes to lunch prep. I’ve been using it to replace breakfast and lunch for the last 5 days with 2x 75g/400ml mixes, one mid-morning and one mid-afternoon. My main problem at the moment is that I’m getting incredibly bad heartburn about an hour after consuming one, and it lasts for a good 3…

Heartburn

Anyone else experiencing some mild heartburn while on Huel? I think this might just be a transition symptom for me from solid food (I was a huge carnivore and sugar addict) to liquid nutrition. I get it about an hour after consumption. And I am finding that a couple of tums tablets alleviates my symptoms. And I can certainly deal. But I hope it isn’t my body reacting to Huel itself. I am enjoying my experience so far. And I want to make Huel a regular part of my diet for the foreseeable future. …

Here are some threads to have a look at.

I am not trying to put you off. I love Huel and I have been buying it close to 3 years now. But a lot of peoples bodies have to adjust to Huel (including mine, I got really bad heartburn to begin with) so going straight in at 100% is not a smart idea. At least have 1 meal a day for 2 days to see how you feel.

Thank you

I don’t know if I’m an exception, but none of these ‘horror stories’ occurred with me. My longest 100% stretch was six months, and will be doing another (I’m coming for you Rob Rhinehart).

I did however, follow the recommendation to replace one meal at a time. I would recommend the same if you’re looking to go 100%

[pierremirre]

What reason did you have to eat 100 % Huel for a full year? How many calories a day did you consume? And the big question for me, did you loose some weight? thanks for your response

For me, decision fatigue was a big part of it; I was going through a stressful time, and it was just easier to choose Huel over another unhealthier option.

Now of course, I have other reasons.

I ate[sic] at a calorie deficit, and increased my activity levels, so dropped a few stone - at this point my Huel calorie intake was around 1500 ~ 3 scoops x 3.

I’m 100% confident to sing the praises of Huel, and recommend it wherever possible - I spot a couple of shakers around the office every now and then.
