Thanks, Nutritionist, for not commenting at all on the nutrition of the thing and focusing entirely on opinion and social aspects of liquid meals super helpful great job.
I was exactly considering Huel for ARFID and bad sensory issues. I was sitting and eating my vegan gluten free bolognese last night, and I was constantly in discomfort from not just being not hungry, but also the feel and taste of the food, because I had to make it all from scratch and it just didn't taste good.
My autistic wife couldn’t stand the texture of Huel until she tried the ready made ones. Now she has them as a fast easy breakfast as she’s trying to get our high care autistic son ready for school.
As a Nutritionist please stick to your expertise. When answering is it good for you or what are the downsides please don't go into "morality" of it simply talk from the nutriments standpoint. It would be much more useful as a video.
@@Sha.Materia It is. There have been peer-reviewed scientific studies that have proven that it is possible to not only live solely with Huel, but function adequately.
Right, i laughed at that part. Completely tried to bring it down without any arguments. Could have saved time on this stupid video if fkin RUclips didn’t hide dislikes…
I have been using Huel Black to improve my eating habits and ensure I eat, as I struggle to find high protein options unless at home. Also, the shake-and-go element makes consuming huel ideal when you are just too busy to prep meals. For me, it's a no-brainer!
The black edition is actually a better choice all round, I don’t feel we need so many carbs and feel less bloated on black edition. And there’s no chemicals, it’s processed foods but remember that grinding wheat into flour is processed so it’s not all bad
I actually agree with his quote. I see eating as more of a chore rather than some sort of pleasure. It's nice having a tasty meal once in a while, but I'm more concerned about the contents of what I'm eating rather than it's texture or flavour.
i agree, i havent met someone irl who understands though. Im not crazy about how food tastes, def not a foodie at all. I had an ex i told about huel and wanting to try it and they were like "wouldnt that be boring?"...its just food idc if its boring as long as it gets me through the day
Same. I always say if I had the option to not HAVE to eat, I wouldn't. Sure, a nice dinner here and there is great, but day-to-day it's more of a chore than anything
I have been using Huel Black Edition for the last 15 months. I am a vegetarian, and I wanted to start lifting to build some muscle. Huel Black Edition has been part of my daily diet to help me add 22 lbs of lean muscle. It has helped me efficiently add protein and other macros to my diet.
I have been using Huel as a breakfast, because I sometimes didn't eat breakfast at all or I ate a plain toast with only little bit of meat and cheese on top of it. But for dinner I alway eat real food and that has worked for me. I know myself and I'd rather get in me something nutricious in the morning than my usual unhealthy stuff. Huel has its place, but I agree that the food and things that are connected to it should be enjoyed and cherised. Thanks for the informative video it has helped me alot.
I’m considering huel because I’m trying to increase the amount of protein I eat per day. Rather than replacing my meal, I need to add onto it. I would love to try it.
I think it would be cool if more people speaking on liquid food replacements would discuss the positives for disabled people,those with ARFID and those recovering from operations especially dental ones. products like this seem like they could be quite life changing in that regard
Ive been using huel for a month ! Replacing 2 meals a day. And yes it makes you stop reaching for those snacks and fattening food. Lasts for about 5 hours, 2nd one in afternoon with a banana, then a proper meal in the evening 😋 ill do it for a couple of months to see if i see a difference in my weight.
I work on a construction site and since Huel is a decent meal in liquid form I can take it up to work with me and drink as I work , this has actually benefitted my work as I don't feel hungry after lunch and don't rely on fatty fast food or Greggs
I have done a 100% huel diet for 6 months in the past - it's absolutely phenomenal in terms of health impact. I clearly felt a difference in all areas of my life - better cognition, sleep and energy. I still use it, but not as a complete replacement. It's an incredibely cheap multivitamin and drinking some staves off hunger. The problem with consuming it as the only food source is that it's incredibely hard to consume 5 drinks a day - just in the volume of water and frequency. That's drinking 5, 500ml water every single day. It's also hard to say no to snacks as not to be hungry - you have to drink one drink every 3 hours (15 hours awake and ready to eat / 5 drinks). Considering it takes some time to drink and make it as well - pretty much you have to have it available at all times. However, since it's so heavy in vitamins - it is possible to drink only 3-4 a day and lose a lot weight, for that it is great. My take on it is that it's a fantastic product that everyone but the strictest dieters should use at least to some capacity - especially the powder form, which is the purest in terms of nutrion. It's just a great way to make sure all your necessary vitamins are available and you stay hydrated as well. 9.5/10 (I wish it was tastier).
ive been drinking huel as a replacement for my regular oatmeal breakfast for about 2-3 months now. i like that i have options when it comes to taste and that its easy to prepare if i wake up later than i should. personally i would never replace ALL my meals with huel, even the founder writes that they use if for breakfast and lunch but eat a regular warm meal for dinner so i dont think its a good solution for everything. thanks for confirming that it can be good if used in moderation though :) started to get a bit skeptical and wanted some reassurance that i wasnt breaking my body :P

Cutting out everything sugary, eventally allowed me to taste the subtle differences in sweetness. So, to me, they began to taste like deserts! I also cut out artificial sweetners in the beginning to aid my taste palate reset more quickly. As this is one of the few sweet things I eat, its a real treat for me to have one of these. Not only do I find them realy tasty, but as a meal it just about fits into my keto diet as well (max 1 per day - but I usually only have 1 a week after the gym). I gotta say, I actually really like them. so once in a while, I think they're great. And if they do, as claimed, contain all the vitamins and minerals you need (and I have to say, I do feel pretty good a few hours after I eat one too - especially exercise). There isn't a massive amount of protein in one for growing muscle on a heavy workout routine, but its easily a good chunk that can be supplemented with a proper protein heavy meal. So, thats my story.. they're a treat and I enjoy them!
I just ordered it, and it’s being delivered today. I bought it because I struggle with preparing, cooking, and eating healthy. I live on junk food, and am 70 pounds overweight. I’m glad to hear that it will keep me fuller for longer. I can’t imagine only eating Huel, because it’s not real food,but I’m hoping it’ll allow me to be healthier.
I've used a variant of Huel more than 6 years ago for a month. It was easy and I didn't feel more hungry than normal. But my stool was very light and the fibre didn't help at all.
Is huel good for lunches strictly at work ? I don't always like having just a turkey sandwich made at home and I'm trying to bulk as a skinny guy at 160 lbs. I usually cook dinner every night (generally chicken breast, veggies, and carb) and for breakfast at work I eat bagels, fruits, nuts, and on the weekends I cook breakfast so I definitely eat real food regularly.
3 years on Huel black for breakfast and occasional dinner / lunch ~5-7 times per week. Has helped me really regulate my weight and body fat because the body gets a good amount of protein every day. The breakfast is quite filling and it can keep me satisfied for up to 6 hours. Also no issues with stocking up bananas / yoghurt - which was my breakfast before (oats, yoghurt, banana). When I have it in house I still change my Huel breakfast sometimes for yoghurt with berries or sourdough sandwich with fried eggs. If you don’t mind the taste (it’s quite polarizing) I think Huel is a great option 👍🏽
Huel is amazing! I struggle to eat the correct amount of macro nutrients and huel has helped me a lot! The liquid one for bfast is fantastic! Indo have one or two regular meals a day. I have huel in the morning and as a post workout meal
I had a serious back injury which resulted in two big ops and a long recovery, Huel was definately a major factor in keeping me going when I found it hard to eat, especially when in Hospital. 5 years on the ready to go drinks I stll use however run them alongside a regular healthy diet, it works for me.....
But does it contains the phytonutrients that makes food special? And the antioxidants? To keep your body free from cancers and excess overall ageing? Its just another okay supplement to incorporate for people that need it
what if I am having problems with my apatite? I'm not eating enough, and I thought huel would be a good aid in getting more of what I needed nutritionally.
Hey 👋 Huel can be a useful tool to supplement your diet, but it shouldn't be relied on as the sole source of nutrition. While Huel provides a good balance of macronutrients and micronutrients, it's always best to obtain nutrients from a variety of whole foods. You can consider incorporating Huel as a snack or a meal replacement when you're on the go, but it's important to also include a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats in your diet. It's also important to note that everyone's nutritional needs are different, so it's best to work with a qualified nutritionist or dietitian to develop a personalized nutrition plan that meets your individual needs and goals. All the best!
For anyone not in the know, nutritionist is not a protected term. Anyone without any sort of certification can call themselves a nutritionist. Dietitian, specifically registered dietitians are protected terms and you have to typically get a bachelors degree in dietetics, nutrition, etc (related fields) in order to be able to call yourself a dietitian. Do not believe anything a nutritionist says. It’s also okay to be a little skeptical of dietitians but keep in mind they had to study and learn to earn their title.
You Don't address the Need to use a meal replacement for those who cannot eat solid food like me I have only a few teeth cannot afford dentures or implants. I normally get about 400 calories a day having to struggle to eat solid foods even softened. I went from 120 lbs my normal weight for my height down to 94 lbs in a year. Huel or it's like is my only option to try and get above 100 lbs again. With Huel it's possible for me to get 1200 calories by using 3 shakes a day. Huel is Nasty tasting however.
I’ve been having Huel for breakfast for six years now. Started as I started so early on a long commute it gave me five minutes more in bed then could use my commute to drink. It’s also the one thing I do that’s healthy every day so in comparison to skipping breakfast or not eating anything good for me it’s got to be better for me in the long run. The flavours can change depending on the edition. Black edition mixes and has the best darker chocolate, the basic edition tastes like it ought to be bad for you,
I've subsisted on huel as a long haul truck driver and have had every flavor. Chocolate or cookies and cream if you crave Chocolate, and i add peanut butter, banana, frozen strawberry and blueberries and peppermint extract. And I stick with plain vanilla and strawberry and cream because of how many different kinds of frozen fruit and different ingredients to very some variety. I use vanilla huel, with vanilla Greek yogurt, pineapple juice, and oatmilk, frozen mango, pineapple, and strawberry to make a tropical drink.
If your family/friends are having lunch, you don't sit there sadly sucking on a shake. You put it in the fridge and join them for a meal. You have a very lopsided view of how this program works.
I loved your bottom line statement. I just started with Soylent (similar to Huel for uninitiated) and I only substituted my lunch. Why because I love cereals, omelettes or sausages in my breakfast, and dinner time is a family togetherness time at my home, no exception and everybody follows it happily. Huel at dinner table is the oddest thing you can bring into the table.
My biggest concern is that flax and sunflower seeds are extremely high in PUFA If that’s where all the fat is coming from, that is not good for mitochondrial energy production. PUFA is bad.
Five meals a day? Check. Count calories? Check. Plenty of water? Check. Count nutrients? Check. This is what most nutritionists tell you you should do, and Huel takes care of it easily. I love my food, but I find the kind of food you have to eat if you’re serious about nutrition (plain grilled chicken breast with rice, mmmmm!) really boring anyway, so it’s not some huge sacrifice to me. I like to use Huel during the week as fuel to just get the job done and then eat normal food at the weekend when I have more time.
I drink half a bottle of HUEL after a running tempo session and drink the remainder a day later after a recovery run and I consume an adequate meal two hours later. That's a bottle a week, so I only use it as a supplement not what most people are constantly going on about it as a meal replacement option
So, actually your objection to a 100% Huel diet is not on nutritional grounds, but on cultural ones. I was hoping to find information on whether eating only Huel is going to lead to nutritional or health problems. You don't seem very sure about that. I can see that a powdered food might cause issues because the nutrients are too readily available. I also wonder whether there is a negative effect on the gut microbiome? Would the lack of non digestible components cause an issue? Would a "dirt" free food source lead to more allergies?
All you've told us in regard to its health benefits is that Huel is better for you than other convenient snacks and fast food lol. Is it healthy or not?
she doesn't know. She has no idea how to even read the label of huel. How she can call herself a nutritionist is beyond me. She probably classes herself as a qualified brain surgeon because she once played a game of Operation
Where’s the nutritional information from the specialist? For anyone interested in real results, I’ve been using Huel for 1-3 meals daily and feel great. You can get a few digestive issues at first or when upping the about per day. I’ve not made lunch to take work in years and I’m getting more nutrition and use the spare time to make a proper meal with family in the evening. Not for everyone but worth trying, I know a lot of people who use one a day like a quick healthy breakfast or an easy lunch on the go.
Fwiw I asked Huel about the Glycemic Index rating of their products- which relates to insulin response-, they have that for most products. The GI rating didn't seem especially High but I haven't done any blood sugar tests yet to verify my response
Here's the thing, indeed it may not be great for every meal. but it maybe great for me because my work breakfast and work lunches are rather crappy. So huel could help at least keep me stable nutrition wise until dinner when I would eat with my dad a actually cooked meal. You just need to balance it and that can be easier than you think
As im drinking my chocolate huel black. Your first point is void if your at a family meal surely its your choice to substitute your meal, Thats a matter of preference. And your second point missing out on the pleasure of eating and cooking and the social benefits that come with it, This would be great but we are in a cost of living crisis and so many of these nicer meals cost way more then a Huel milkshake and are probably not as beneficial and eating out in a cost of living crisis is way more stressful so i would say Huel is a benefit in this case. As for weight loss i cant comment ive put on 1 stone in 4 months thanks to this shake i struggle to maintain weight normally let alone gain weight.
🙋🏻♀️Hey, thanks for your comment. They say a serving is 2 scoops of powder, which is around 100g or so, which is between 400-500kcal depending on how big your 2 scoops are. Each bottle of Huel Ready to drink contains 400kcal. Hope this helps 😊
I have huel black and each 50g scoop is 200 calories, and one serving is 2 scoops so that’s 400 cals. It’s not 400-500 calories. It’s 400 calories for 2 level scoops which is one serving
Time to cook? Wake up everyday at 5am and arrive from work at 7pm every weekday and work at least another 12 hours on the weekend. How I would love to have the luxury of Time for cooking for myself.
I’m not a nutritionist, honestly, im a truck driver. But in my opinion it’s moderate in protein. I say that bc most will recommend .8 grams - 1.2 grams of protein per pound of body weight to build and maintain muscle. 4 servings of huel would only give 120 grams of protein. Most adult males weigh more than 120lbs , so huel would just scrape the bottom end of efficient protein intake for most adult males. Great video!
There is another major issue and people can Google and do this research themselves but here is the thing we humans actually have to chew and work out our jaw and tongue and neck muscles... It is actually very very critical humans chew and eat working out our jaws. Just drinking meals will do harm in the long run.
i have problems with eating food and i never get enough nutrients, i just placed an order for the liquid food shake stuff. i really hope this will help me to get more healthy
Nutrition should be the focus of eating. I hate eating and the time it takes up.. this is not to say I don't enjoy good food well prepared. But most days, that is a luxury I don't have. So, it sounds like a viable option.
I used to have huel for breakfast and it was great except all those fibers gave me diarrhea alot. Now I use Metta which is basically the same as huel only with less fiber and my stomach feels alot better
I clicked to hear a dietitian's positive and negatives about Huel's affects on the body. None of the negatives had anything to do with nutrition. Instead they were comments on socializing and your views on what feels normal for consumption. Valid opinions, but not what I was looking for..
Liquid food can be very nutritious and tasty. I lived on Slimfast shakes in college. Not because of a weight problem. But because they were relatively cheap and kept me going. I know it was more popular to eat at Subway. I couldn't afford Subway. So sue me!
@@trhansen3244 I agree, I use Huel shakes for when I'm really busy and don't have meals ready and to avoid eating junk food and I don't mind it at all. I was more speaking to how useless and uninformative this video was.
For poorly people, who are given Ensure as a supplement, I assure you that drinking Huel was much better for me, it also helped me put on weight when I really needed to by drinking it on top of other foods. I hope you never hear the words Ensure when speaking to a medic anyway.
All the negative reasons you list for not using huel has nothing to do with nutrition and has to do with social issues.. Most people on huel still know how to go to dinner with friends
I think Huel would be good for people that has no time to eat. People like surgeons and nurses. They have long shifts. The cafeteria is not open 24/7 at the hospital. Anything can happen at a moment's notice. Maybe a lunch was planned, but someone is coding blue and someone needs to get to that patient. Just saying. It's a lot better than the stuff in the vending machines. It's not meant to replace all their meals, but it would work as a quick meal if and when their meal time is cut short.
I'm thinking an apple (95 cal) + couple bananas (210 cal) + 2 tbs peanut butter (188 cal) + rice cake (35 cal) will give you a good 528 calories for a quick, no-fuss meal along with plenty of nutrients. Sub a 1/4 oz mixed nuts (172 cals), or one of the (many) other options for high quality vegan proteins and you save money, eat _actual_ food, and avoid feeling like a dork for buying into the myth that drinking a manufactured, highly-processed powder is somehow better for you, the economy, and the world than eating food close to the source as possible. There is no reason for this product other than to make someone rich.

Nobody wants to hear my opinion because it probably won't apply to anyone else - but here's my story anyway.. and how it relates to seeing food as a fuel, rather than a constant 'joy' that needs to be entertained 3 times a day.
So......
...many years ago, I suffered from a really severe eating disorde. I was in my late teens at the time it all began.
It was veeery lonely and unfathomable to me because it wasn't psychological or related to my self-esteem or body image. I am just extremely sensitive to sugar.

I also cut out artificial sweetners in the beginning to aid my taste palate reset more quickly.
As this is one of the few sweet things I eat, its a real treat for me to have one of these. Not only do I find them realy tasty, but as a meal it just about fits into my keto diet as well (max 1 per day - but I usually only have 1 a week after the gym). I gotta say, I actually really like them. so once in a while, I think they're great. And if they do, as claimed, contain all the vitamins and minerals you need (and I have to say, I do feel pretty good a few hours after I eat one too - especially exercise).
There isn't a massive amount of protein in one for growing muscle on a heavy workout routine, but its easily a good chunk that can be supplemented with a proper protein heavy meal.
So, thats my story.. they're a treat and I enjoy them!
Hey 👋 Thanks for sharing your story! Huel can definitely be incorporated into a healthy balanced diet. All the best 🙂
This video doesn't actually discuss the nutrition of huel
I just ordered it, and it’s being delivered today. I bought it because I struggle with preparing, cooking, and eating healthy. I live on junk food, and am 70 pounds overweight. I’m glad to hear that it will keep me fuller for longer. I can’t imagine only eating Huel, because it’s not real food,but I’m hoping it’ll allow me to be healthier.
I've used a variant of Huel more than 6 years ago for a month. It was easy and I didn't feel more hungry than normal. But my stool was very light and the fibre didn't help at all.
Is huel good for lunches strictly at work ? I don't always like having just a turkey sandwich made at home and I'm trying to bulk as a skinny guy at 160 lbs. I usually cook dinner every night (generally chicken breast, veggies, and carb) and for breakfast at work I eat bagels, fruits, nuts, and on the weekends I cook breakfast so I definitely eat real food regularly.
3 years on Huel black for breakfast and occasional dinner / lunch ~5-7 times per week. Has helped me really regulate my weight and body fat because the body gets a good amount of protein every day. The breakfast is quite filling and it can keep me satisfied for up to 6 hours. Also no issues with stocking up bananas / yoghurt - which was my breakfast before (oats, yoghurt, banana). When I have it in house I still change my Huel breakfast sometimes for yoghurt with berries or sourdough sandwich with fried eggs. If you don’t mind the taste (it’s quite polarizing) I think Huel is a great option 👍🏽
Huel is amazing! I struggle to eat the correct amount of macro nutrients and huel has helped me a lot! The liquid one for bfast is fantastic! Indo have one or two regular meals a day. I have huel in the morning and as a post workout meal
i use hol food, love it
I had a serious back injury which resulted in two big ops and a long recovery, Huel was definately a major factor in keeping me going when I found it hard to eat, especially when in Hospital. 5 years on the ready to go drinks I stll use however run them alongside a regular healthy diet, it works for me.....
But does it contains the phytonutrients that makes food special? And the antioxidants? To keep your body free from cancers and excess overall ageing? Its just another okay supplement to incorporate for people that need it
what if I am having problems with my apatite? I'm not eating enough, and I thought huel would be a good aid in getting more of what I needed nutritionally.
Hey 👋 Huel can be a useful tool to supplement your diet, but it shouldn't be relied on as the sole source of nutrition. While Huel provides a good balance of macronutrients and micronutrients, it's always best to obtain nutrients from a variety of whole foods. You can consider incorporating Huel as a snack or a meal replacement when you're on the go, but it's important to also include a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats in your diet.
It's also important to note that everyone's nutritional needs are different, so it's best to work with a qualified nutritionist or dietitian to develop a personalized nutrition plan that meets your individual needs and goals. All the best!
I’ve been using Huel to replace chips and sandwiches at work. And the Huel greens to supplement my breakfast.
This needs to be introduced to all of the ADHD world
That’s why I’m considering it! Just so expensive
exactly why i’m getting it lol
@Jao Bai Dun I was getting the hot & savoury range I didn’t realise it costs so so so much more.
why?
does it taste better than whey?
For anyone not in the know, nutritionist is not a protected term. Anyone without any sort of certification can call themselves a nutritionist. Dietitian, specifically registered dietitians are protected terms and you have to typically get a bachelors degree in dietetics, nutrition, etc (related fields) in order to be able to call yourself a dietitian. Do not believe anything a nutritionist says. It’s also okay to be a little skeptical of dietitians but keep in mind they had to study and learn to earn their title.
You Don't address the Need to use a meal replacement for those who cannot eat solid food like me I have only a few teeth cannot afford dentures or implants. I normally get about 400 calories a day having to struggle to eat solid foods even softened. I went from 120 lbs my normal weight for my height down to 94 lbs in a year. Huel or it's like is my only option to try and get above 100 lbs again. With Huel it's possible for me to get 1200 calories by using 3 shakes a day. Huel is Nasty tasting however.
I’ve been having Huel for breakfast for six years now. Started as I started so early on a long commute it gave me five minutes more in bed then could use my commute to drink. It’s also the one thing I do that’s healthy every day so in comparison to skipping breakfast or not eating anything good for me it’s got to be better for me in the long run.
The flavours can change depending on the edition. Black edition mixes and has the best darker chocolate, the basic edition tastes like it ought to be bad for you,
I am curious as to which is the best tasting flavour. I am thinking about getting chocolate and coffee caramel.
I've subsisted on huel as a long haul truck driver and have had every flavor. Chocolate or cookies and cream if you crave Chocolate, and i add peanut butter, banana, frozen strawberry and blueberries and peppermint extract.
And I stick with plain vanilla and strawberry and cream because of how many different kinds of frozen fruit and different ingredients to very some variety. I use vanilla huel, with vanilla Greek yogurt, pineapple juice, and oatmilk, frozen mango, pineapple, and strawberry to make a tropical drink.
I kinda wanna try it for lunches when I'm busy at work to help me avoid fastfood
It's a good alternative to fast food, especially when time is not on your side. Thanks for watching! 🙂👍
If your family/friends are having lunch, you don't sit there sadly sucking on a shake. You put it in the fridge and join them for a meal. You have a very lopsided view of how this program works.
I loved your bottom line statement. I just started with Soylent (similar to Huel for uninitiated) and I only substituted my lunch. Why because I love cereals, omelettes or sausages in my breakfast, and dinner time is a family togetherness time at my home, no exception and everybody follows it happily. Huel at dinner table is the oddest thing you can bring into the table.
You son of a b*tch 🤣 i fell for your profile pic
My biggest concern is that flax and sunflower seeds are extremely high in PUFA If that’s where all the fat is coming from, that is not good for mitochondrial energy production. PUFA is bad.
Five meals a day? Check. Count calories? Check. Plenty of water? Check. Count nutrients? Check.
This is what most nutritionists tell you you should do, and Huel takes care of it easily.
I love my food, but I find the kind of food you have to eat if you’re serious about nutrition (plain grilled chicken breast with rice, mmmmm!) really boring anyway, so it’s not some huge sacrifice to me.
I like to use Huel during the week as fuel to just get the job done and then eat normal food at the weekend when I have more time.
Lmao who told you that you need to have plain grilled chicken breast and rice to be serious about nutrition
@@thenewthrowawaylol4343 if you really think it’s that hilarious, you need to get out more
I drink half a bottle of HUEL after a running tempo session and drink the remainder a day later after a recovery run and I consume an adequate meal two hours later. That's a bottle a week, so I only use it as a supplement not what most people are constantly going on about it as a meal replacement option
Chewing food is good for you too
im just looking for something to "eat" at work since i got no time to eat. drinking be faster to have something good and not bad fast food.
Chewing food is important also..
What % is rapeseed in the bottled drinks?
I use this as lunch at work (don’t really get time to stop and eat…) and the black huel has 10g more of protein
It's a good option if you're on the go 👌 Thanks for watching! 👍🏻
Ain't no way they named it after Huell Babineaux
😂😂😂
Lmao, I've always thought this in the back of my mind.
So, actually your objection to a 100% Huel diet is not on nutritional grounds, but on cultural ones. I was hoping to find information on whether eating only Huel is going to lead to nutritional or health problems. You don't seem very sure about that. I can see that a powdered food might cause issues because the nutrients are too readily available. I also wonder whether there is a negative effect on the gut microbiome? Would the lack of non digestible components cause an issue? Would a "dirt" free food source lead to more allergies?
All you've told us in regard to its health benefits is that Huel is better for you than other convenient snacks and fast food lol. Is it healthy or not?
she doesn't know. She has no idea how to even read the label of huel. How she can call herself a nutritionist is beyond me. She probably classes herself as a qualified brain surgeon because she once played a game of Operation
Where’s the nutritional information from the specialist? For anyone interested in real results, I’ve been using Huel for 1-3 meals daily and feel great. You can get a few digestive issues at first or when upping the about per day. I’ve not made lunch to take work in years and I’m getting more nutrition and use the spare time to make a proper meal with family in the evening. Not for everyone but worth trying, I know a lot of people who use one a day like a quick healthy breakfast or an easy lunch on the go.
Does having 46g of carbs dumbed into the gut in a micro-spray powder made into an emulsion or suspension not cause a massive insulin spike?
Fwiw I asked Huel about the Glycemic Index rating of their products- which relates to insulin response-, they have that for most products. The GI rating didn't seem especially High but I haven't done any blood sugar tests yet to verify my response
That's what I was wondering ... that's a ton of carbs
Here's the thing, indeed it may not be great for every meal. but it maybe great for me because my work breakfast and work lunches are rather crappy. So huel could help at least keep me stable nutrition wise until dinner when I would eat with my dad a actually cooked meal.
You just need to balance it and that can be easier than you think
You are amazing. Thank you!!!
In what sense exactly are they amazing? It was a shit analysis without any arguments
As im drinking my chocolate huel black.
Your first point is void if your at a family meal surely its your choice to substitute your meal, Thats a matter of preference.
And your second point missing out on the pleasure of eating and cooking and the social benefits that come with it, This would be great but we are in a cost of living crisis and so many of these nicer meals cost way more then a Huel milkshake and are probably not as beneficial and eating out in a cost of living crisis is way more stressful so i would say Huel is a benefit in this case. As for weight loss i cant comment ive put on 1 stone in 4 months thanks to this shake i struggle to maintain weight normally let alone gain weight.
Think it be good for breakfast but not for dinner or supper
Me i use huel because of proteins i lose some weight but use it moderately like once a month or twice
I've eaten Huel now for more than 3 years. Its amazing.
How many times a day do you consume it?
Ive noticed all the ultra positive commments about Huel on here seem to be coming from dummy accounts (look at the usernames)
0:25 pretty sure thats under 3mil
Good Spot! 👀 Should say "over 2 million" 👍🏻
@@AllThingsNutrition yuup 😂
if your life is so busy not to eat well then change your life not your meals.
500calories per serving? my 100g of huel salted caramel flavour is 400 calories.
🙋🏻♀️Hey, thanks for your comment. They say a serving is 2 scoops of powder, which is around 100g or so, which is between 400-500kcal depending on how big your 2 scoops are. Each bottle of Huel Ready to drink contains 400kcal. Hope this helps 😊
He's right 100g of powder serving is 400 kcal. Be specific. It even says on the ready to drink bottles 400Kcal.
I have huel black and each 50g scoop is 200 calories, and one serving is 2 scoops so that’s 400 cals. It’s not 400-500 calories. It’s 400 calories for 2 level scoops which is one serving
Yeah. That’s what everyone does that goes out to eat with their friends-busts out their Soylent or Huel. Are you kidding?
Time to cook?
Wake up everyday at 5am and arrive from work at 7pm every weekday and work at least another 12 hours on the weekend.
How I would love to have the luxury of Time for cooking for myself.
I’m not a nutritionist, honestly, im a truck driver. But in my opinion it’s moderate in protein. I say that bc most will recommend .8 grams - 1.2 grams of protein per pound of body weight to build and maintain muscle. 4 servings of huel would only give 120 grams of protein. Most adult males weigh more than 120lbs , so huel would just scrape the bottom end of efficient protein intake for most adult males. Great video!
0.8-1.2 grams of protein is per kilo, not pound. Hth.
There is another major issue and people can Google and do this research themselves but here is the thing we humans actually have to chew and work out our jaw and tongue and neck muscles... It is actually very very critical humans chew and eat working out our jaws. Just drinking meals will do harm in the long run.
Nearly 2 and a half years consuming Huel usually 2-3 times a day absolutely wonderful.
What are some benefits? Did you do it for weight loss or are you just busy?
@@xuanzhuluo9218 i would be interested too
i always skip breakfast so im hoping this might be a healthy way
Huel has been a lifesaver for dysphagia
I don't think even the founder of huel expects people to replace ALL their meals
i have problems with eating food and i never get enough nutrients, i just placed an order for the liquid food shake stuff. i really hope this will help me to get more healthy
And?
Literally need this cuz my braces hurt my teeth
As an inquirer of the product, this video does a great job breaking down what it is and how it should be used. Very well done! 👍
Subbed because of the Dave Gorman references, nothing like humour to break up a topic 😊
Gorman? Was that the lieutenant in Aliens? The guy who nearly had his entire team destroyed by xenomorphs?
Get three eggs and fry em up with veggies. Get microwave meals. Have some dignity instead of eating slop
It’s called huel because that’s the sound people make before they hurl.
Hule is a re branding of Soylent Green. Spoiler, it's human.
Very informative, great content. I’ll pick some up ✅
Happy to hear you found the video informative 😊 Thanks for watching! 👍🏻
You just stated the obvious, people ask nutritionists about food to find out what they can’t read on the packet.
2 scoops = 400 kcal
I was expecting to see some kind of in-depth analysis of the nutritional qualities of Huel. What I got was a complete waste of my time.
Can't wait to drink my favorite Breaking Bad character
It's a boring meal but it's great if you don't have time to prep for that day, good breakfast too if you just want to wash some nutrients into you.
💯 It can be a quick and convenient way of getting the nutrients you need if time is not on your side. Thanks for watching! 👍🏻
I definitely won't take Huel on its own ,I just ate eggs , porridge and sausages and an hour later drank Huel
Nutrition should be the focus of eating. I hate eating and the time it takes up.. this is not to say I don't enjoy good food well prepared. But most days, that is a luxury I don't have. So, it sounds like a viable option.
I used to have huel for breakfast and it was great except all those fibers gave me diarrhea alot. Now I use Metta which is basically the same as huel only with less fiber and my stomach feels alot better
I clicked to hear a dietitian's positive and negatives about Huel's affects on the body. None of the negatives had anything to do with nutrition. Instead they were comments on socializing and your views on what feels normal for consumption. Valid opinions, but not what I was looking for..
So is it bad or is it good for you heath wise???? Didn’t even answer the question.
Rubbish review - you don’t talk about what the nutritional content of the product is, which, you know, is the reason I’m here.
a "nutritionist review" saying "liquid food is boring" lmao thanks I guess
Liquid food can be very nutritious and tasty. I lived on Slimfast shakes in college. Not because of a weight problem. But because they were relatively cheap and kept me going. I know it was more popular to eat at Subway. I couldn't afford Subway. So sue me!
@@trhansen3244 I agree, I use Huel shakes for when I'm really busy and don't have meals ready and to avoid eating junk food and I don't mind it at all. I was more speaking to how useless and uninformative this video was.
For poorly people, who are given Ensure as a supplement, I assure you that drinking Huel was much better for me, it also helped me put on weight when I really needed to by drinking it on top of other foods. I hope you never hear the words Ensure when speaking to a medic anyway.
All the negative reasons you list for not using huel has nothing to do with nutrition and has to do with social issues.. Most people on huel still know how to go to dinner with friends
Why does Huel contain so much fats and carbs?
I think Huel would be good for people that has no time to eat. People like surgeons and nurses. They have long shifts. The cafeteria is not open 24/7 at the hospital. Anything can happen at a moment's notice. Maybe a lunch was planned, but someone is coding blue and someone needs to get to that patient. Just saying. It's a lot better than the stuff in the vending machines. It's not meant to replace all their meals, but it would work as a quick meal if and when their meal time is cut short.
Huel works well for me as a quick breakfast
🙋🏻♀️Hey, Huel can definitely be a good breakfast option when time is not on your side. Thanks for watching! 👍🏻
I'm thinking an apple (95 cal) + couple bananas (210 cal) + 2 tbs peanut butter (188 cal) + rice cake (35 cal) will give you a good 528 calories for a quick, no-fuss meal along with plenty of nutrients. Sub a 1/4 oz mixed nuts (172 cals), or one of the (many) other options for high quality vegan proteins and you save money, eat _actual_ food, and avoid feeling like a dork for buying into the myth that drinking a manufactured, highly-processed powder is somehow better for you, the economy, and the world than eating food close to the source as possible. There is no reason for this product other than to make someone rich.
Yea i enjoy huel after long cycle rides
Why are you not exposing all of the added chemicals and bulking agents?!?! This slop is killing people!!
