I am curious. Why do you use Huel? To lose weight? Because it is super convenient and easy? Because it is vegan? Because it good for the environment and animals? Other reasons?
I canĀ“t wait to hear from all of you other Huel-ers

I canĀ“t wait to hear from all of you other Huel-ers
These 2 reasons
Because (eating disorder recovery) dealing with meals at least 3x a day gets exhausting
Because it stems my sugar cravings
Because itās nutritious
Because itās convenientāI can use it on a frisbee pitch and in instances itās just not possible to make/consume a balanced meal (say travelling with overpriced gas station sandwiches), maintaining a regular meal schedule
Because their customer service is ace, and so are the principles they stand for
Because it tastes great
Because of the wonderful and supportive community here
Because Iāve always wanted to join a cult
Primarily ease of preparation and clean up.
Next balanced nutrition with no effort.
Next weight loss initially and now weight maintenance - easy to see how many cals per meal and so on.
Edit
Other benefits like vegan and environment are things that I appreciated having come to Huel for the above.
For weight loss and for saving time.
Last year I got a baby and found it really difficult to make time for myself to eat. Also itās really convenient in getting rid of the post baby weight without to much effort
Why not?
Ok, seriously.
The vegan thing actually made me skeptical at first, I respect vegans but Iām definitely not, but then Iāve read the science behind and that made me overcome the mistrust.
I will never go 100% Huel forever (but I do occasional 100% days when Iām too lazy or busy), I still think food is not only nutrition, but Iām super happy to have it in my life because itās a great thing.
And also, as others said, the community is cool and the team/customers support is top level. (Ok, now it sounds a bit like a cult ).
Why you gotta crush my dreams like that?
Well if you please @hunzas could turn it into a cult. Letās dance at night raising our Huels and making non-Huelers our slaves!
Iām just addicted to the granola canāt stop thinking about it when I donāt eat itā¦
Lazy bodybuilding.
This is super fun reading
I use Huel mainly because it is convenient and nutritious. I like this because I struggle with chronic diseases and have absolutly no energy for cooking.
I love that Huel is good for our planet and good for animals.
I didnĀ“t know I had joined a cult
I havenĀ“t tried the granola. Sounds very good. And a bit addictive
Sounds great! Count me in! Should we not come up with a yell or matching uniforms?
Donāt we already have matching t-shirts? And it is more a ginormous fart than a yell.
Iāll bring the killer robots. You bring the killer farts.
-Time/convenience
-My Sanity back when previously recovering from Orthorexia
-Helps me be more productive by spending less time meal preparing, or thinking about my nutrition.
-less waste, sooo much less waste!
-works well around a minimalist lifestyle
-fantastic for fitness goals - makes manipulating diet easy
-great for bulking, makes 3500-4000 calories possible for me.
-lessens my meat intake, as an ex vegan Iām always conscious of this, Iāve basically reduced my meat intake by 60-70%, if I swapped out meat in one of my meals Iād basically be vegan again. Might actually do this when itās world vegan month and document it on here?
-allows for funny banter/remarks at work with boss/colleagues at my expense
-washing up reduction!
As a woman heading towards 60 at the speed of something very fast I had reached the point of not knowing what to try nextā¦ ok so yes, I have tried lots of things, BUT this isnāt a diet product, this is a product for people which can be used as a way to control calorie intake, so:
because itās easy
because I donāt spent my life thinking about food, what to buy, what to cook, what to eat
because itās eased my sugar cravings
because it tastes good (mostly)
because its made my hair thicker and shinier; my nails seem to grow a lot faster and not as brittle
because 2 shakes a day seems normal
because I can still eat out and not feel like I have to have everything unhealthy on the menu just because
Because it gets me out of shopping, cooking, and most of all, washing up. These alone have made me 67% happier with my life. Then thereās the convenience, portability and calorie control. The company ethos certainly doesnāt hurt either.
For ethical and environmental reasons I want to eat more vegan, while Iām aiming for a rather high protein intake for the sake of my health. Huel is both vegan and high in protein, plus itās reasonably cheap and super convenient.
Also, cooking once a day is more than enough for me. I actually think that food takes up way to much of our time and energy.
I started using Huel as a weight loss aid - I was looking at some of the brands which are more specifically geared towards weight loss (e.g. cambridge diet plan) but just found that the sheer expense (Ā£50+ per week!) wasnāt something I could manage.
Huel isnāt specifically designed with weight loss in mind, but the price per calorie is so much lower that I decided to just go on a āDIY crash dietā and I managed to lose 2 stone up to now as a result. Craving less sugar is a very welcome side effect and the sheer covenience of a fairly healthy meal that can be ready in minutes (āfairly healthyā = doesnāt quite compare to a properly prepared, balanced meal - but itās an awful lot better than all the other quick meals you might stick in the microwave) is a handy thing too.
