HUEL REVIEW: the scientific way to lose weight
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 чер 2024
- Huel is a nutritionally complete powdered meal which I'm using as part of a scientific approach to losing weight recommended by diabetes expert, Professor Roy Taylor (see www.thetimes.co.uk/article/ho....
He recommends overweight adults shed 15kg over 8 weeks by consuming no more than 800 calories daily. This can be done with normal food, but it's much easier if you use a nutritionally complete powdered food like Huel.
I'm also using the Withings Move hybrid watch ( • Should you buy a smart... ) to monitor my exercise and the Withings Body Cardio smart scales ( • Withings Body Cardio R... ) to monitor my progress.
I started the diet (Huel for lunch. Then Huel plus veg for supper, or sometimes a proper supper, or sometimes Huel plus whatever is in the larder) on 21st January 2020, weighing in at 94.3kg.
UPDATE: 23rd January 2020: 92.8kg
UPDATE 6th February 2020: 91.5kg
UPDATE: 3rd July 2020: 87.4kg
UPDATE: 15th Feb 2021: 92.8kg. Raided the cookie jar too many times. Almost back up to where I was before. So now going on 'Huel only' for next 8 weeks.

This is a charismatic content creator if I've ever seen one.
Thank you!
Been on Huel for a year; My tips are Black Label Strawberry Shortcake, water first (prevents dry powder clumps and difficult cleaning), then add both scoops of Huel, then water again, then cap and shake, and only use the old school shaker.
I want to do it to lose weight, what are your thoughts???
Lovely presentation! Thank you for sharing your initial thoughts. I’ll be trying four of the Black variety soon!
Loved the video, and review, I think I am going to try Huel out as part of my weight loss regimen.
Correct me if the white bag is different but mine is 400 cal for two scoops also try adding the water to the shaker and then the powder to prevent Clumps at the bottom
I always thought that huel was short for Human Fuel. Huel :)
Do not shake it without your finger on the top lid, that made me anxious
Ha - laughed out loud. Yes, I learned that the hard way!
Arlo Guthrie haha i’m sure you did, I did as well 😂
I thought the same thing.
This content is high quality - you need to hire a Social Media Marketing Manager (no, that's not me) to get you exposure. You can and should have millions of subscribers. This is not flattery, I'm just comparing your content to other content in that range of subs, and this is equal or better than much of it.
Get exposure, increase your reach, it will pay dividends. Thanks for the video!
Also, Strawberry Shortcake is my favorite. I've tried various kinds for over a year.
Wow, what a kind thing to say. Thank you. Actually, I did try hiring a social media manager a while ago, but they weren’t all that interested because of low subs. Catch 22! So I’m just growing the channel organically, one sub at a time.
Also, I recommend adding a little extra water to increase your daily water intake and most of all, to prevent a thick sludge that fights being swallowed. It should be thin enough to gulp down like pulpy orange juice, not cream of mushroom, in my opinion.
Hi to all fellow Huel drinkers out there. I can recommend the Berry flavour.
@Irish Ibraaheem It sounds like a lot of money but think how much it costs you to even get fast food. Average breakfast can cost 3-15 dollars. Huel is Less than 2 dollars and is the healthiest thing you can get. I have one Huel for breakfast every morning and have never felt better.
Keep in fridge a couple of hours before hand makes it creamier and thicker. Also any lumps I find is no problem I love to swish lumps around my tongue.
I'm totally too lazy to scoop and mix so I use the 'ready to drink' options. 1 for breakfast and one for lunch, then a high protein low carb meal in the evening, plus attempting to down 2 litres of water each day (that's the hard bit for me!). Been doing this for nearly 3 weeks now and I'm loving it. I don't feel hungry at all between meals which is a great bonus. Go Huel! Oh.. I have tried the curry pots... but not a big fan, but that's me personally. 😁
We would like to have known how you got on with that and did you feel hungry all the time
That will follow soon (ish). I have another 5-10 kilos to lose. Meantime, no, I don't feel hungry all the time. A bit, as the day goes on, but it's bearable.
Just got my first shipment, drank my first bottle of banana and immediately went to UA-cam to see what others had to say. Found you first! Love your video. So funny and you're right...Huel IS delish! I made my first scoop and immediately wanted a second. Thanks for your video and curious if you lost the weight you wanted!😊
No, I didn't lose weight when I made this film - my willpower failed me. But I'm reviewing a blood pressure monitor at the moment, to see how weight loss affects BP, and I've been much better on the Huel diet this time round. See: ua-cam.com/video/jaysShGUYeY/v-deo.html
How are you getting on with your Huel journey? I'm just under a week in and I'm feeling pretty good. Its also great not having to wash up plates and pans after eating.
@@rorus9530 Didn't lose weight during this review. But then made another one, and I've so far lost about half what I need to: See: ua-cam.com/video/jaysShGUYeY/v-deo.html
hi Great video. how did you get on?
Thank you. I guess the best that can be said is that I'm not the size of an oil tanker (I was headed that way), but neither has it turned me into a rake. I keep hitting the cookie jar.
Was there ever an update video?
Not so far, but I plan to do one. When I lose some more weight. If I ever do!
@@arlo.guthrie what I've found works is to take a week where you actually weigh the food you eat and write down the calorie numbers down based on the back of the packet. It takes a little bit of math but nothing major. If you can do that for the most common foods you eat, especially the sugary stuff, you'll remember the value next time you pick it up 2 months later. Sometimes I even use Google for some common guess work such as "how many calories in the average fried samosa?" Lol. Men are consistent in that we often eat the same foods so it's far easier than someone who's always looking to try new things. Once you know what calories are in your breakfast you might even start shaving off bits. For example, I noticed that regular mayo had 600+ calories per 100g. That's insane, but light mayo has half of that. I went to the store and found a version of Helmans mayo with maybe 50 calories per 100g!? And it tasted the same.
Bottom line is you need a baseline to compare the back of a packet against so spend a week obtaining that from your existing diet. Then cut out the high calorie foods or swap them out for alternatives.
I couldn't tell if you were being sarcastic or not until i got towards the end of the video lol
Always water first then powder ;)
Salted Caramel is really good as well
Thanks for the tip off. I have really struggled to find flavours I like, other than vanilla. But just tried the salted caramel flavour boost, and it was great.
For the lumps, just add more water and shake harder and longer. Also, if you like those (comparably) nasty white label flavors, just wait till you try Black Label Strawberry Shortcake --- IT TASTES LIKE A MILKSHAKE EVERY TIME AND IT MAKES YOU LOSE WEIGHT? YES.
I have the white banana one hopefully blending it helps otherwise I’m screwed
Always water first for better results
So where is the update?
Nowhere. I still keep raiding the cookie tin.
Having another go: ua-cam.com/video/jaysShGUYeY/v-deo.html
Thanks this - certainly my humour too.
Day one of Huel for me.
Have you managed to stick with Huel ? What were the results?
Good luck. I've plateaued at -7kg, but hoping to knock the rest off this month!
@@arlo.guthrie Good luck. It's going to be a struggle. I guess after a few days you get used to it? I hope so anyway.
@@Bluebaycoconuthut how are your huel results?
I have been consuming Huel for over a year now.....
I only use it as a supplement tho...
Between my hrs of wrk and active lifestyle and everything for me whilst being very busy...Huels nutrients all split dwn and So I'll drink half of a Ready made bottle along with real quality food.. use them together for maximum benefit without missing out anything.
No one should ever try and replace quality food with These products.
I think it's important to understand this.
I'd say to anyone taking Huel up...Its not a replacement for a Dinner...its to put more good nutrients into your body to make you healthier.
I only drink 2-3 500ml bottles per wk.
I feel great by the way so it works I can vouch for it....
Are you a doctor or a nutritionist?
Don't worry about the mess, the cleaner or the butler will clear it up.
My banana one tasted like crap when I got it disappointed gonna try blending it next time as the new shaker does not work for me
I never dared try the banana one. Vanilla and cinnamon are the best, I think.
Using semi skimmed milk has saved me when it comes to huel I can now thoroughly enjoy it
@@ryanchetty8336 That sounds like a great idea. Thank you, I'll give it a go. I'll just have to factor in the extra 47 extra calories per 100ml of semi-skimmed milk.
I LOVE the banana flavor! It's so yummy!!! Tastes like real banana, not artificial banana flavor. I guess it goes to show we're all different. If anyone reads this and is on the fence about it, TRY IT!😊
Jesus, I thought I made a mess when i made my Huel shakes LOL
hi MR SIR PLZ CAN U MAKE ANY VIDEO ON THE TOPIC OR TITLE WHICH SHOULD ONE BUY EITHER SMARTWATCH OR FITNESS BAND PLZ MAKE ONE VIDEO ON THIS TOPIC ALSO MY FRND BY TELLING FULL FLEDGED DETAILS ALL ABOUT EVERYTHING ABOUT THESE TWO THINGS IN UR THAT VIDEO OK FRND
ITS VERY IMPORTANT AND EVERYBODY IS ALWAYS CONFUSED IN THESE TWO THING WHETHER SHOULD I BUY ANY SMARTWATCH OR ANY FITNESS BAND OK SIR PLZ TELL ME AND EVERYONE ABOUT THIS OK MY GOOD FRND
I'll put that on my to do list :) Thanks for the suggestion.
How did the weight loss go in the end ?
In the end hasn't arrived yet! Still battling. I would say that so far, Huel has prevented me from adding weight, but I still crack at the first sight of a nice restaurant. Supposed to be having a final push for next eight weeks.
@@arlo.guthrie
But they say it's easy just eat less rubbish more healthy stuff and exercise more says the people that have never battled with weight there hole lives.
If it was that easy everyone would be rake thin 😆
@@stevehlife4933 I've been obese my whole life. I hate to tell you, it actually IS easy to lose weight, it's your mental fortitude that's lacking. I fasted for 68 hours, then found that one meal a day is all I really require. It is that easy. Stop eating.
@@LtCaveman fair comment im glad it worked for you :)
@@LtCaveman when you say you fasted… do you mean no food or water/liquids at all? Surely not and you would get terrible headaches and have huge issues with concentration.
Also is this dangerous to do if you are morbidly obese at say 20 stone?
What a funny video, Sunday roast the size of HMS Belfast 🤣
How did your weight loss go?
Self-discipline not what it could be! Routinely having Huel for lunch, but tend to raid the cookie jar by 6:00pm. I'm down to 89.2 . Now a final push for the line to get rid of the last 9 kilos or so.
Arlo Guthrie I am 99kg I have just ordered my haul of Huel. Going to do have one day where my in take is noting but Huel and the next with two Huel shakes and one real meal.
@@classicalenglishliberal9575 My problem is my family. If my wife wasn't buying ice cream for the children, I'd be as thin as a rake by now!
@@arlo.guthrie i find if u make a huel before ya cravings give in u lose the craving, thats why its fast to make
I start tomorrow! Shift work and little time...just need to maintain some eating discipline!! 🤦♂️
Eating discipline is the tough bit! Good luck.
@@arlo.guthrie been watching your channel...epic! New subscriber 👍👍👍
@@flash_b_3602 Thank you, and welcome!
Is your name really Arlo Guthrie?
Yes, although the Arlo bit is nickname I picked up at school over 30 years ago.
So followup video? =P
On my 'todo' list. But I want to wait till I am slim as a rake. A little way off yet!
@@arlo.guthrie hah ok one year later ;)
Damn, I was hoping you would talk me out of this.
I start my Huel journey tomorrow
Good luck. I’m still on it!
I start my Huel journey tomorrow!!! Cant wait to get my body under control.
@@pemberfoot79 Good luck. I've been at it a year (having a mix of Huel and normal food). Just decided that to make it work, I've got to go ruthlessly Huel-only, 800K per day, and stop raiding the cookie jar.
Human Fuel....Huel
I've heard, "human fuel" = Huel
Damn it, I'm looking at it for GAINING weight. I skip too many meals but exercise quite a lot.
That’s easy enough. The answer is chocolate.
It will help put on weight
@@maxsornik7737 thanks man, a much more helpful response than I got from the content creator.
@@drummingtildeath you could use the shakes to supplement meals rather than replace them if you are looking to gain weight. the website has some good charts to help you decide how much to use to gain weight.
Did it work…. Did you lose weight?
Yes, for a while at least! Then went on holiday to the US where I fell victim to US portion sizes. Now back on Huel diet again!
Well there’s 6 mins of my life I’m not getting back.
Why not watch some of the rest of my reviews … you’ll be dead before the week’s out.
What an absolute legend 👏
huel, human =h eul = fuel
HUman fuEL
This man makes no sense. "It's Simple" he says then conflicts with every diet that ever was! Also INCLUDES every food group BUT they have to be eaten at exactly the right time having done the exactly correct workout for that food group!??
Huh? I think you may be overthinking it. I don't do press ups for carrots, star jumps for potatoes, running for steak and sit ups for sea bass. Still less do I take exercise at a particular time of day for a particular food group. Who on earth does that?!
@@arlo.guthrie I posted on the wrong page hahahaha it wasn’t you!! Sorry
@@MikeNorth0101 🤣I did wonder!
Sing us a song anyhow Arlo, you’re wearing well for 75 buddy! 🎸
@@MikeNorth0101 I'm not sure you'd thank me for that. But you might enjoy this:ua-cam.com/users/shortsAokrHgVQ_70
