Just received my first batch of Huel. All very exciting!!
Bit of context. I’m 38, 5ft 9 and about 95kg. So I am firmly in “tubby funster” territory. Since Christmas I have dropped about 5kg through abstaining from bread, crisps and chocolate and upping the exercise count from “little” to “some”.
Someone at work recommended Huel - I am a little sceptical but committed to giving it a fair crack. I’ll be replacing two meals during the day (Breakfast and lunch) during the week, and seeing what happens over the weekends during precious family time…
I’ll give this a go. I’m interested in whether it will work, whether I’ll enjoy it, and whether I’ll be able to control the windy pops that seem to accompany new “Huelers”
Welcome @Georgia_O_Carolan and yes indeed, newbies should stick together. I’ll try and post updates on how I’m getting on, I’ve just started a new topic for my waffle and background in fact.
P.s @Barry_B meant to say well done on your weight progress so far.
First proper day today, I’m usually starving pretty much 24/7 (avid grazer, eat fruit and crunch carrots all day long) just had my two 3 scoop shakes today and feeling really good. Can’t remember last time I didn’t have a mid morning crash if I didn’t eat. How are you getting on?
So far so good! I started at 9:30 for my first three scooper, which lasted until about 12. I then had my second one at 1pm, which has lasted to 4pm.
In the main, apart from a couple of “lumpy mouthfuls” (!), it’s not been too bad. Not massively hungry - had an apple for something to chew which was nice, and the creme egg which has been on my desk all day is still untouched.
