Hello Huelers,
I realized I have been using 100% Huel for almost half a year now + before that Huel for breakfast and lunch, but for dinner a normal dinner. Before eating Huel I did already eat healthy, with twice fruit a day, no extra salt and sugar, and in general a balanced diet. However, after already having a bit experimented with Jimmy Joy, and after that with Huel, I decided to eat Huel for most of my food, and then half a year ago for 100%. I chose to do this, because now I can be confident that I get fully all my nutrients, it saves me a lot of time as a student, and it saves me money.
I am eating 2000 kcal (8000 MJ) a day of Huel. I eat Huel Powder (white) - Chocolate for 1600 kcalories: 800 around noon, 800 towards the evening (the timing varies a bit) and then 400 kcal H&S in the evening (to not get caffeine from the chocolate before sleeping + it feels like a nice warm meal). Besides water, I don’t consume anything else (so no tea or coffee or anything). Sometimes (on average one meal a week, but it can differ a bit, mostly when I’m cooking a nice dinner with some people) I eat something else. I’m feeling completely good and energetic with the consumption of Huel, and haven’t been sick since. (I was already healthy without any complications beforehand.)
I have never done any health test, but I definitely should sometime.
My question is: who else has been using (almost) 100% Huel for a while (months)? I know this has been on the forum a couple times, but I think it has been a while, and not that often for v3.0. How is it working for you? Did you do any health tests? I saw there was one official Huel test for 5 weeks with 4 people, I am also interested in people who did it for longer. Also: are there any long term health issues to be taken into account? From the official study I saw there was uric acid increase, is there anything else we should pay attention to?
Also, I want to add that Huel officially doesn’t recommend to use it for 100%, but for many it could be healthy to consume it as part of the diet.
Plus, I want to thank Huel for existing and their great work + this active community as well!
