New Jan Huel Journey (female(

Weight loss

Hello All - happy new year and all of that.

I received my Huel powders today :slight_smile:

Banana

Coffee

Strawberry and cream (BE)

I have had the banana with half water half semi skimmed milk.

This was not as bad as I was expecting. I would say the taste is pleasant.

Today

Cereal for breakfast then two huel through the day.

Going forward - 3/4 Huel a day (2 Scoops) / 2 Huel (2 Scoops) and one small meal.

Will mix and match depending on how I feel.

Will put all my stats in later to trace my own journey with this !

Very excited !

Ok so have been trialling the huel powder over the last few days.

No hunger pangs

Energy levels good

Pretty sure my skin even feels better also.

5’6

12.5 Stone as of this morning.

Target is 9.5 Stone

So far a combination of one or two huel with one very small meal or snack.

2 Sessions of exercise a week maximum (Spin or Zumba)

Will update weight again in a week.

So I have done another weight check after having my first huel of the day.

I’m now just OVER 12.5 stone.

So actually weight gain!?

Any ideas guys? Should I have one scoop instead of two? Should I no longer mix half semi skimmed milk and water to my Powder.

I’m almost finished my banana huel bag and have had two normal meals in the last week so a dramatic change to my normal eating habits and pattern prior.

Any ideas guys??

2 x Huel with 250ml water and 250ml semi skimmed is only around 1000 calories so either your ‘regular’ meal is too high in calories or you have been very sedentary.
Losing weight is (in most cases) as simple as calories in being less than calories out so if you are gaining weight you are taking on more energy than you are using.

It’s important to remember that weight can fluctuate because of the amount of water you’ve drunk, whether you’ve been to the toilet, and because of hormones, so it’s much better to look at trends over time (week-to-week) rather than each day.

This is the hy diets don’t work. Mostly they will end in weight gain.

The best thing you can do is eat healthy which Huel can definitely help with, being complete meals.

Sometimes it can be more complex than creating a calorie deficit so check out your biology to make sure you’re not fighting your endocrinology.

Look up set point theory and see about the new schools of thought on weight gain.

Good luck x

Thanks for the responses.

Update I’m still very much in the Huel journey.

I can confirm that it does work! Yay.

Calorie controlled diet with the goodness.

It took a bit of to see the results.

Still very much using Huel every single day.

Most days with one meal and maybe one or two days a week exclusively Huel.

So very happy with the product.

Glad you’re also having a positive experience. I also started early this year and it’s just become more prominent in my diet. I’m 90% on Huel now. Shake for breakfast. Shake for lunch. H&S portion and a half for dinner. Then anything else I can add, as I’m not trying to lose weight as such. It’s wonderful
