Huel . A 3 month study

[poppypiesdad]

Evening all .I first came across huel in a post by Nickdutch and though it was a good idea for the store cupboard .
Fast forward 3 months
Overweight 18st
Borderline diabetic
Blood pressure on the rise again 160/90 .
Absolutely shit myself . I'm only 45 and got a wee one so totally bottled it . Panicked and decided I needed to change my lifestyle NOW . Not later but now
So 3 months ago stopped eating . And started on huel . Why you say . You nuts . Well no.
Complete food in a shake
No waste
No hassle all you need is a shaker and water.
It's 150 cals a scoop 3 scoops a shake 3 shakes a day 1500 cals a day .
Wooooh I hear you not enough cals a day well......
I'm mainly mobile based in a van .
Driving is my main job now with a wee bit of work tacked on it . And more driving .

So 3 months later
Still on shakes
15 st loosing about a lb a week
Started on couch to 5k
Blood pressure 128/ 84 last reading
Still don't know if I'm a confirmed diabetic but not been back to docs for fateful blood test

It works out about £1.45 a meal
Only water needed
On decaf tea.and coffee
Have the occasional proper meal
So thank you nick for the heads up

Well done mate. I'm not a big fan of people doing shake diets, but it sounds like you're doing really good. I bet the borderline diabetes has sorted itself now after looking 3 stone.

I've always looked at those things like huel and soylent and I like the idea, but I think I'd miss food too much, never occurred to me that they would make a good diet food though.
I have considered getting some for breakfast, I have a stomach condition that means I often feel queasy first thing so I rarely eat breakfast, which isn't good for you so I was thinking of using something like that and giving it a go, I had forgotten about it until now so cheers for the reminder.
