You just drink from the carton. You just drink the milk and forget all about foreplay? Where's the fun in that?

I guess that is possible if you had the buying power to source the ingredients at a good enough price, but then I guess that is the whole point of the product... Convenience is the name of the game. I don't want to minge around with tons of ingredients and whizzing them all up. Like most people today, we want instant goodness without hassle.

BULLIT lol Was tempted to have a go at a 100g sample, but £4 for a discount meal seems a little excessive and "By continuing, I agree that my information will be transferred to the United States" put me right off for some reason I'm not even aware of. Back to chasin chickens

Nothing worse than the most corrupt and dangerous war company on earth. 4 quid really is a lot for a sample.

'There was also a sausage in my mouth.' Member 2477, 16481 posts SQ 190, BP 130, DL 235 555.0 kgs @ 83kgs UnEq	I'm sure there have been meal replacements in existance for years. What about slimfast? All supplement companies seem to have a meal replacement product. I have nothing against huel but I'm just wondering what the hype is about, as in I actually am very curious

Member 5548, 415 posts SQ 270, BP 157.5, DL 310 737.5 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq	Post Edited: 11.02.2016 @ 10:13 AM by edi86 I just stumbled across it on the net and it got the old brain ticking.. £2.80 for 1000 cal, 60g protein, 82g carbs (no sugar) and 27g fat. compared to 5-7£ on a 1000 cal fast food from maccys or KFC. Saving money and saving my insides too.. It is a bit pricey but hopefully others will catch on and the market will bring down prices for a product of same quality but cheaper.

All supplement companies seem to have a meal replacement product. I have nothing against huel but I'm just wondering what the hype is about, as in I actually am very curious Things like slim fast are just s**te though, huel has a very good profile and actually has quality ingredients. Taken from the website... What is Huel? Huel is a nutritionally complete powdered food that contains all the proteins, carbs, and fats you need plus at least 100% of the European Union's "Daily Recommended Amounts" of all 26 essential vitamins and minerals. So you know you won’t be deficient in any essential nutrients. It's been formulated by the renowned nutrition expert James Collier BSc (Hons), RNutr. James has over 25 years of experience working in nutrition and dietetics, including 7 years as a Clinical Dietician in the NHS. He also has an Honours Degree in Nutrition with Dietetics. Huel is 100% vegan (better for the environment and animals) super convenient, high in protein (150g per 2000 calories) and fibre (33g), low GI, contains less than a teaspoon of sugar per 2000 calories, contains no allergens (apart from non gluten-free oats), requires minimal packaging and has a shelf-life of 12 months (so zero food waste). Why we need Huel? We are in the middle of a food crisis. Modern food production methods are inefficient, inhumane, and unsustainable. The world produces 1.5 times enough food to feed every person on the planet, yet over 800 million people do not have enough food to eat. In the UK, 30% of all food is thrown away. 100 million children in developing countries regularly go hungry and are significantly underweight. On top of that Britons are getting fatter and more unhealthy. 64% of adults are overweight or obese and obesity related conditions are on the increase. Over 4 million people have diabetes, and over 15 million are classed as borderline diabetics. "Almost two in every three people in the UK are overweight or obese and are therefore at increased risk of Type 2 diabetes" Chris Askew, Chief Executive of Diabetes UK . Something has to be done!

Enjoys his parents fully stocked fridge. Member 3476, 868 posts SQ 170, BP 136, DL 217.5 523.5 kgs @ 95kgs UnEq	Wouldn't the protein sources be incomplete? Certainly looks like a good way to avoid chowing down some cruddy kfc, but I don't know about its claim to be a complete food. Something in my gut tells me you'd end up in a pretty s**tty state if you tried to live off of it. I'd rather pay the extra and have a nice subway sandwich I think!

Unfortunately the food comes to those who pay for it, so if everyone bought Huel the food wouldn't suddenly divert to starving African kids, it'd would just stop being produced. I'd like to hear Chris Askew, Chief Executive of Diabetes UK, give his opinion on whether the answer to diabetes is sweetened, powdered food.

Something in my gut tells me you'd end up in a pretty s**tty state if you tried to live off of it. I'd rather pay the extra and have a nice subway sandwich I think! Combining different vegetable proteins forms a complete protein. The idea with food production is that it's incredibly costly to the environment to produce livestock. Vegetation on the other hand can be a lot less damaging and more productive. The Co2 emissions from cattle are greater than that from the cars we pay expensive taxes on because of their co2 output. Around 30% of the worlds ice free surface is used to produce grains to feed cattle that we eat.That 30% could feed 7 billion of us no bother at all and on top of that we wouldn't have to feed Co2 producing and farm space and plant matter consuming animals. In a developed country like the U.K. or U.S. it takes about 75kg up to 300kg of dried grains etc. to produce 1kg of protein in that animal. In southern Sahara Africa it takes 500kg to 2000kg of grains and plant feed to produce 1kg of cow protein! Pigs and chickens produce much less co2 and require about 5 times less feed to produce a kg of protein than cows, goats and sheep do. Obviously in the developing world there can be more efficient ways to feed and produce animals. After the advanced farming methods of the developed world though, the next more efficient way of producing food is by way of advancing our understanding of how to effectively combine vegetable matter in a way that gives us everything we need. Companies like huel are developing those methods now. It's a food for the person with no time or for the person who objects to destroying the environment via animal farming. It's also a food for the person who wants a low sugar diet or whose lifestyle (extended trips away from society) requires the ability to carry a lot of food with low weight and volume. It's not for everybody, but DOES have its place.

Ha, to be fair if it was a little cheaper I'd give it a go for lunch time when I'm at work or college. And that's due to me being on a strict budget rather than it being too expensive.
