Just watched this video as well as your part 2 for like the 3rd time. I’m very happy that someone took the time to experiment and gather all of this information together. I watch these kinds of informational videos at night because the sheer amount of information overloads my brain and puts me to sleep, plus they say you retain the most information when you “learn” more right before you go to bed. Your voice is very relaxing and you seem like a very straightforward, kind, likable guy. I’m from Texas myself, but I have several online friends from the UK, so I did understand most of your terms for things. I especially liked when you said the first few days on Huel were “windy” and I laughed for a good 5 minutes.

@gdoggy1214 жыл бұрын
Little Tipple Do you have any tips for how to make the flavor not taste like dirt? I can’t actually drink Huel, I have to kind of pinch my nose and force myself to “glug” it down really quickly. I’ve ordered some mocha and caramel flavor boosts, but I’m not sure if they’ll help or not. The chocolate powder by itself is not great and the vanilla is only slightly better than the chocolate. When I first tried Huel, I honestly tasted like dirt. It tastes really grainy or gritty. Do you recommend only drinking it with a banana or just making it thicker? Also do you freeze your bananas ahead of time or just throw them in there at room temperature?
@LittleTipple4 жыл бұрын
@@gdoggy121 the chocolate suffers from a strong "stevia" taste - it's sweet, but with a distinct bitter aftertaste. the coffee one is better, if you like coffee, but the trick is adding a little sweetness without adding too many calories - banana's do work well, and smooth out the texture slightly - i either add a fresh banana and some ice, or frozen banana. using skimmed milk works well as well for the texture, and putting it in a blender works wonders for the texture... peanut butter in the blender can also help with the flavour and texture, but again, make sure you don't add too much to make the calorie counting less useful...

Im on my third huel meal right now, Just got my box yesteday! I replaced my dinner with the chocolate one and boy was that hard to stomach, I had to chase every minor sip of the chocolate with 3 gulps of water to avoid gagging, my 2nd meal was alot more pleasant, I used the vanilla one, this time using a blender, I added peanut butter to make it have a less grainy texture, and sweetened it with bananas, I was able to drink more than half of it for lunch like a normal drink and was actually kind of enjoying it, it got really hard after it started to lose its ice cold temperature. Im currently drinking my 3rd one for dinner, i revisited the chocolate and this time dissolved the poweder into milk, adding peanut butter, bananas, and honey, and although Id rather be eating solid food, It isnt terrible, and I love the lite feeling you have throughout the day while substituting 2 meals a day for huel, never again will you feel lethargic and heavy after a greedy lunch or dinner, I feel much more energized, quick on the feet, and lighter in general, and this has made my workouts far easier. If you are thinking about trying huel, keep in mind you will have to FORCE yourself to drink this grainy texture and experiment your own recipes to find a combination you can stomach, if thats worth it for you then huel definitly might be for you, it is fitting into my work schedule quite well, if you have any questions fire away!!
@LittleTipple4 жыл бұрын
yeah, it really needs to be cold to be best, and you do get used to it after a while, but the texture isn't the best - you could look at Queal - it's slightly more expensive, but the texture is definitely better - there's a review on my channel. Skimmed milk is a great option - it doesn't add any calories, but makes the texture better, just be aware that anything else you're adding into it will add extra calories, so just take that into account. Let me know if you're finding it any easier!

People say it’s cheap it’s not really. If you have a family of four and your food shop is £130 a week I cannot just spend £60-70 on myself can I 😂😂. Regards to what it’s like. It is brilliant stuff. Gives you a boost of energy through the day and keeps you hydrated. It’s good when you have physical jobs and you want to work through your break like on building sites doing price work etc or if your a personal trainer who has a lot of clients so it’s good for when your busy etc. but it’s hard to stick to. After a few weeks you start to get bored of it. That’s my take on it when I used to do it. So in my opinion if your on a budget and have a family it’s abit selfish to fork out an extra £60 on top of your food bill just for yourself. People say m it will save you money but in my experience it doesn’t when youve got a family. And it does get abit boring after a while and it’s hard to sustain however I must admit it is very good at giving you energy and making you feel full and keeping you going. It’s also good at replacing protein shakes as it’s cheaper then them and you get more benefits out of it like the minerals and vitamins and the black pack has more protein in it then most shakes do. Plus if your bulking you can use this stuff to your benifits as well as cutting. So I highly recommend it for people who are into weight lifting etc.

Since there are some hidden values, I have to pay 186,00 € instead of my own calculated value of 184,96 €. They probably do something like 1,369 € per meal and round it down. If I needed 2000 kcal a day, I would need 5 meals. The point I'm trying to make is, I don't need 186,00 € a month for food.

It doesn’t matter what you eat, the only thing that matters are calories. I legit lost 10+ kg in 1 month just by eating McDonalds. The thing is that I only ate 1 meal a day during that time. (can’t recommend from a nutritional standpoint etc. tho)

Natasha Coates so definitely use at least 150ml water per scoop for the curry, and it works best with the unsweetened one... and as for the sandwich - it’s super simple: brioche bun, fried chicken (you can make your own proper fried chicken, but I love the M&S Katsu fillets, makes it much easier) coleslaw and sriracha sauce - delicious!

@@LittleTipple I actually enjoyed it. There are two ways that I describe it, and people have seemed to agree: 1. The texture (if properly shaken), is like a super watered down pancake batter; I don't find mine as thick but I use one scoop and a full water; plus I use a shaker bottle and ice cubes and it works wonders. 2. The taste is like one of those cheap chocolate coated donuts; not the powder kind but the dipped in chocolate kind. Your initial drink will taste more doughy, then the aftertaste is chocolate. Overall it's not bad, I take mine with a Hydroxycut in the morning, but I fast during lunch, and then I eat a normal portioned dinner (that was the hardest part); and I've lost a couple of pounds, but overall just feel better, and have been sleeping great.

So, I'm 4 years after the fact, do you still use Huel, and have your opinions changed? I realize I'm a little late for new years resolutions, but I guess it's never too late. I'm obese, and before I get into my 30s, it's time I make a change. I really liked your idea of 2 Huel meals a day, and then a 3rd normal meal, that would actually fit quite well with my lifestyle as well, I normally eat breakfast and lunch at work, and dinner at home, I feel for sure this will be really convenient at work. For me, the taste isn't all too important since i never really minded the blandish taste of protein shakes, I am lactose intolerant though so the whey protein powders tend to not agree well. Anyways, just wanted to know if you still used and recommend it. :)
@stvjful5 жыл бұрын
Cheers for this! I’ve been thinking about doing this for quite a while now, but I guess the price and the possibility of feeling hungry/having stomach cramps from it have put me off so far. But I reckon I might give it a shot at least once, if for nothing else than to satisfy my curiosity! One question though: you take it to replace breakfast and lunch (3 scoops for each?) - how long does the packet last you? Thanks a lot! Look forward to seeing if you stick with it :)
@LittleTipple5 жыл бұрын
Definitely worth trying, and I think the cost side is worth it - I know I've saved money just on not buying lunches every day. Emma and I have both been using it, me nearly every day for breakfast and lunch, and Emma about 4 days a week for lunch - we've gone through 2 packets so far in a month. So i'd say you should easily get about 3 weeks for 2 meals a day out of each bag, if it's just you.

I’m finding the Huel most effective as a mid morning meal. So far I’m 9lbs down, so very happy. It definitely is very filling. I have to use a stick blender to get mine smooth. I’ve tried chocolate and vanilla, I prefer the chocolate. The vanilla has in my opinion quite a strong marzipan flavour. I’m looking forward to trying the caramel flavour.

That was an excellent review. You look great, I can't believe you are considered slightly obese...NO WAY!!! I don't see any fat on you. Your wife to be is a lucky woman. I appreciate what you said about your experience with HUEL. I initially bought the unsweetened HUEL, because I don't like really sweet sugary drinks. The unsweetened HUEL is perfect. I blend it in a blender with water, and ice, and add half a frozen banana, and sometimes add a small scoop of a power that has super green foods in it. I tried it with a banana and almond milk, a few times, both of these shakes were super good, super filling. Sometimes I tried making it with coffee, and once I made it with strawberries and peanut butter. Because of your review, you inspired me to get some more HUEL. I think I will continue to get the unsweetened flavor, because I like to add my own flavor enhancers like fruit and super greens. Thanks again for the review, I'm going to subscribe to your channel because I want to see a future wedding video. (Big Smile)

So, technically, I am no longer obese, but at the filming of this video my BMI was over 30. This is what the NHS uses to judge your health status. So, as I said, I was, clinically obese in the eyes of the NHS, but I also explained that I felt that BMI is quite a flawed system. Thank you for your concerns over my health and the potential of hospitalisation. I understand that eating disorders and such can lead to severe health issues. I have done some research since your comment, I can find no actual evidence of any similar product, properly used, that had led to hospitalisation, rather that people have used it as an excuse for starvation. This is not the correct way to use it. Finally, if you took any time at all to look at the rest of my channel, rather than judge me on just this video, you would see that I actually lead an active life, with a wide variety of interests.
