I have used Huel for a couple of months for most days at 1-3 shakes a day. I now want to go full Huel at 100% for various reasons. Time frame is a couple of months. Is there anything I need to consider or keep in mind? Also all advice/feedback is very welcome
If this works well I might stick to it with the occasional snack or meal
It was good. Iām not going to fanboy like some others here do - It matched my previous healthy diet for both energy levels and recovery time following training.
The positives were the convenience and the cost, only Ā£1.50ish per meal and 2 minutes prep time in the Nutri Ninja.
However, if your diet on āreal foodā sucks, itād probably be a whole different experience. I did find that my digestion played up a bit though. Think I made a thread on here about it.
Basically, Iād go a few days with only tiny bowel movements, then eventually Iād have one absolutely agonising movement during which āpasteā like would be forced out, huge amounts. Unbelievably painful, like one of those day ruining poos where you have to knuckle down in the cubicle, even going as far as removing your pants to get the legs into optimal position. Sweat would begin to build on my brow as I lifted myself into a squat position, hoping the agony would end.
BUT, that hasnāt happened in a long timeā¦ All Iāll say is, if what you put in doesnāt come back out, start getting worriedā¦
I never figured it out. @JamesCollier even had a few suggestions but never got to the bottom of it.
One day it just went away and never came back, havenāt had it for a solid year or so now. Perhaps it was something in 2.1 or 2.2 that didnāt agree with me.
Honestly, some people have such unreasonable expectations of James & the whole Huel team.
Phil, maybe ask a proctologist in a professional capacity? Expecting a nutritionist to go there is frankly just weird, however good your webcam & sense of balance, though I do have to say, amazing macro photography.
Heyy! Not sure if youāve read my 100% week threadāfor some reason I was VERY tired (a different kind of exhausted than Iām used to, so I noticed it). But many others say the opposite, that they have tons of energy. I found that my sleep quality was great on 100% Huel though!
Found myself craving savoury and the texture of crunch, which was easily sokved by adding Huel granola into my diet. Was a piece of cake after!
Hahaha, it wasnāt something I was terribly worried about so once I ran out of ideas I just gave up and let it beā¦
If it got bad enough I obviously would have taken it to a medical professional
