I'm on day 2 of trying out Huel as my lunch. I'm not especially doing it to lose weight (for what it's worth - in my opinion not much - my BMI is c.22) and it's not really marketed as a weight loss thing, but because it's a shake certainly I thought of it that way.
It's claimed it is a meal replacement that gives you a perfect balance of all the nutrients and business you need - you just mix up the (vegan friendly) powder with 700ml of water and away you go. It's convenient for me because I've got bored of sandwiches or whatever pasty / scotch egg is on offer at Tesco, and such lunches were not exactly healthy anyway. I'm also trying to reduce the amount of milk and milk-based products I eat as I've discovered after 30 years of bad skin on my face that it seems to be caused by milk and cheese.
I'm not bored of it yet (it's day 2, just to remind you) and I'm having my normal breakfast and evening meal. Yesterday I was surprising full, although I did supplement with fruit and nuts (as in a bag of mixed nuts and dried fruit, not the chocolate bar) as I usually have a bag in my drawer at work. I'm pleased too that it's cheaper than making lunch - it works out at about £1 per 'meal' which is not bad.
Just wondering if anyone else is using / has used it, and how you've found it long term?
