Please allow me to introduce myself . I’m a man of wealth and taste:smiling_imp:
Hi I’m Igor, a 49 y young truck driver.
I was a big baby, a even bigger child growing to be a very big teenager too become a huge adult,I’ll guess I’m saying I had weight and food problems from birth.
In my early 30’s weighting give and take 150 kg , I saw it was time for a change.
And so I did, but completely wrong , went from all fast food to almost no food and 2hours gym time a day and the trainer gave something to keep on going and burn fat ,well that’s a recepie for disaster , I met my wife 3months later with a weight of 98 kg. Not bad ,except for the fainting . Low blood pressure and over exhausted the doctor told me, and he promised me an early grave if I continued going on. So the misses in panic, that came to an end. After about two years living the couples life, i was back at 135kg and was feeling real bad, so I went for a gastric band, I came back down to 89kg this time, but couldn’t eat normal food, but chocolate and sweets no problem . I’ve learned myself to run 5 k, but felt really weak. The solution was opening the gastric band so i could eat normally , at that time i was heavy in to sport, and had some success with controlling my food. In those years I kept my weight under control with different diets ( keto, Atkins, w.w.,paleo) you name it I did it. And they all work, you just need the discipline to stick with them, which I don’t have.
About 10 years later and 3 knee operations later,and the gastric band removed ,the weight started to go up again. Bye the time I was back at 130kg, I got depressed, and decided to go for a gastric bypass. This was 5 years ago and brought me back to 92kg, i never changed my habits. I always have periods of healthy eating followed by trash eating.
All those years gave me a good insight in diets,I just can’t apply them all the time, I’ve also learned I’m a emotional eater.
I guess it’s going to be for the rest of my life, but I’m starting to win more battles than I lose.
So why Huel.
Well not too lose weight or too keep it steady. Just don’t believe in the magic potion too lose weight.
I don’t count calories
As a truck driver on the long haul, I take my own food with me in a freezer box and sometimes I’m eating out. And don’t forget the gas station trash food. The box is old and starts to malfunction, so lately I’m throwing a lot off food away .
I saw the Huel pub passing by on Facebook,started reading it.
Told myself why not give it try, it’s faster than preparing my meals and if it fills me up it’s a good way to stop waisting food, and in the mean time it’s giving me all I need. And if it stops my cravings for sweets and trash food like some say. Well then the gas stations won’t be making my pockets empty anymore 
So some 3weeks ago, I ordered a starter pack with new vanilla and a flavor pack , it arrived 3days later.
I was on a 2week trip so I had to wait.
When I came home, i gave it a try on Sunday morning, just to see if i liked the taste.
I followed the instructions 400 ml water 3scoops Huel and topped it of with 150ml water no extra flavor, Put it in the fridge for an hour or so
To my surprise, I liked the taste
Then the 2 following days I made the shake with 3scoops and tryed it with flavor day 1 rubarb and custard,na not for me
Day 2 moka, this was better
On Wednesday we left on a little holiday to Hungary, so no Huel
I’m starting today with two shakes, one for breakfast (3 scoops and banana flavor (ok)
One as a morning and afternoon snack (2 scoops Huel 250 alpro coconut milk 1.5 scoops whey powder 1 soup spoon almond butter 1 Thea spoon pure cocoa and top it off with 500ml water) this one needs some tweaking
So this is my introduction to Huel so far
Grtz Igor
