Just drank a huel. Makes a great way to sneak in a quick high nutrition/low calorie breakfast on days I have to go in to the office

Ironically, the dude who played Huell lost a shitload of weight. Don't think it had anything to do with Huel the product though, but he should lie and do an ad campaign for them.

I haven't watched the Bakker bucket video in many years and the memory has devolved into the guy just shoveling fistfuls of powdery mac and cheese into his old rotten face, while proclaiming with an overstuffed mouth how delicious it is after every bite.

Gonna keep it that way cuz lol

How many Huel meals do you have to buy to unlock the limited edition black feedbag?

Real answer:

I've used Huel several times in my life. Usually when I'm depressed and don't have the energy to make real food. My ADHD focused on weight loss for a while and I used Huel as a tool for portion control.

I lost a lot of weight while using Huel as recommended, and I enjoyed it well enough that I keep it around for the depressed meals.

Shakes: They are all horribly sweet. I ended up taking my favorite (salted caramel) and mixing it 50/50 with the unsweetened/unflavored and it's pretty good. I recommend mixing it in a blender ahead of time rather than shaking in a bottle. I also added cinnamon and a banana in the blender if i was feeling a bit hungrier.

Meals: I haven't figured out how to cook the pasta well in their system. The non-pasta ones are pretty good. I especially like the spicy Indian, Green Thai Curry, and Mexican Chili. I cook up vegan beef (Trader Joe's brand is my favorite) with taco seasoning and add about 3 oz of that to the Huel while it's cooking. Makes the meal about 500 calories. Sometimes I'll also add some spicy peppers to make it spicier and, if I have any, diced green onions

Daily Greens: Its ok, no tips

Bars: Bars are hot garbage. Stay away from

Protein Powerder: Haven't tried.

Huel wasn't my only weight loss strategy, and as I got adjusted to the proper serving sizes, I expanded the scope of my meals, but Huel is always in the rotation.

Also, the Huel meals make real easy camping meals.

Huel actually makes sense for camping food.

It's freeze dried or dehydrated, right?

Yeah. I bought some reusable "ziploc bags" that are safe for boiling water, so I'll just individually pack up my meals and my jetboil and it's easy eating. This is if I'm solo camping. If I'm with the kids then we'll do other meals, but if it's just me and the dog in the back of the car? Easy peasy, lemon sneezy.

RABBIT RABBIT
RABBIT RABBIT

When we moved to California we went sight-seeing at a big hydroelectric dam and the tour guide lady asked us, "Are you familiar with Huell Howser?" And somehow, as if by instinct, even though I had never before in my life heard of Huell Howser, I knew, I just knew, that he was such a z-list, not famous, unknown entity and talentless hack, I was almost offended she would even dare ask me that.

Then she popped in Huell's dam tour DVD and we watched this utter moron, Huell the Tool, proceed to bombard a physicist woman with the most juvenile questions (How many gallons of water per day? Wow! That's a lot!) and constantly interrupt her attempts to explain the underlying science and economic importance, you could actually see it slowly dawning on her that this man was a simpleton, a feeling quickly replaced by the realization that he's probably somehow getting paid more than her.

Bert Kreischer running then consuming a poo poo diet compounded with a lot of alcohol keeps him fat. Dude is killing himself, just slightly slower than some other guys.

For meal replacement stuff I've always just bought protein powder, mix with milk or water, and add some frozen fruit and maybe some greens if I want to pull out the blender. Generally its better tasting than other options due to buying good quality protein like ON from Costco. I recommend a scoop or two of vanilla mixed with a serving of frozen mango and liquid to get your preferred consistency.

I've also tried Anabar protein bars recently and god drat they are good. No sugar alcohols (which give me digestive issues, ymmv), <300cal, ~20g protein, ~25g carb, and ~11g fat depending on flavor. They are like $3 each so a bit expensive for everyday and do contain peanuts, but overall good for breakfast on days I don't want to eat.

I watched a show where he was talking with a local Asian community leader who's great grandfather acted as a representative for Chinese immigrants that worked on the California railroad.

Huel proceeded to call the guy a "Chinaman" and the dude had to stop Huel and tell him that he was using a distasteful term.

Yeah he always claims that his bloodwork keeps coming back super solid. He says he has the "mickey mantle" gene, which if he's not just lying through his teeth, may be true. For the other 99.9% of humanity, his life would kill them.

Huel should do like whatever person does that thing where they dress up like an old lady on some skit show for a couple appearances or something then spin that off into a movie where Huel plays himself and the old lady character and parley that into a show deal.

The Japanese YouTube ads for Huel have "normal" people pitching the product. I'm guessing they're not hired actors, and the video and audio setup is supposed to convey an amateur blogger feel, but all of them give off a creepy MLM sales pitch vibe. I honestly don't think the Huel Japan PR folks realize how off-putting it looks.

A common theme in this thread is us adhd alumni. I’ve had Soylent multiple times and it is alright. Never had digestion issues or bad farts. I haven’t tried Huel, but it seems like a better product especially the high protein version since I workout. I used to use Animal Meal by Animal Nutrition, and I recently started using it again. Huel does the whole Jam Pack it with minerals and vitamins and more fiber than Animal Meal, but I’m wary they cut corners or is more likely to have heavy metals in it than Animal Nutrition products.
