Anyone on HUEL?

Yeah that does sound like an explosion risk, I have to say I do have normal food too... 😁

I did a few months on huel when it first launched having followed Soylent during the test phases.
I enjoyed it, felt better, slept great but really missed food too much to run with it long term.
I recently went vegan instead, much easier and varied. I do need a new tub of protein powder(on choc SunWarrior at the mo) to add to smoothies so might get a bag again.
Can't say I was obsessing over my turds quite as much as y'all though.

Vegan is a step too far for me. I'd have to at least eat hunted meat as that negates any type of farming and cheese could easily be a religion in and of itself.

But yeah, week 1 has had me feeling the healthiest I've felt in years but have constantly been daydreaming of tappas and parmigiana.

Someone should start a turd thread.

All of this.

Just packing for a weekend watching racing cars in Belgium, not having to worry about what food to take is lovely.

I'm actually totally down with hunted meat, not for me right now but, yeah.
Cheese that isn't on pizza can>>>

The amount of outrage people have about eating bear or elk meat, neither of which have ever seen a farm, meanwhile they eat some anonymous chicken from Pret...

Anthropomorphising > farming, apparently. It's funny how we have these hierarchies.

We've got meat all wrong and now there's too many of us to do any of it sustainably or ethically so I think being veggie is really the only option now.

How does hunted meat even work in the UK context?

Go out, nail a deer, squirrels or some bunnies and fill the freezer.

I'm now of the opinion that if you're not prepared to do the dirty work yourself then you don't get to eat it.
I've prepped small game in the past but don't think I could stomach it now and never wanted to hunt myself.
I do feel hunting should be purely functional tho and have argued on and off with a friend and colleague who really enjoys it a bit too much and shoots more than his family need(and buys shit meat from Asda too). City professionals going for a days shooting only for all the birds to get chucked in a hole in the ground can fuck off especially hard tho.

This was the mindset that led me to veggie. Hilariously inspired by the opening of Game of Thrones.

Fuck. No bread for me then, because I've got way better things to do with my time than drive a combine harvester.

Well a pigs as smart as your dog, and unless you're queuing up at a certain festival in China (really), you wouldn't eat your dog is the logic behind me not eating pork. The odd bacon sarnie every blue moon has me wracked with guilt, so I get my "fix" from either frazzles or facon from the veggie cafe. Cheap chicken fills me with dread, particularly with a quote from one of Tesco's senior execs why there was so much of one meat in ready meals "a chickens the potato of the animal world" he said... poor factory farmed sods.

Not even close to being the same thing is it? If you're taking away something's life with a combine harvester, something's gone terribly wrong.

If you're a veggie, you're still responsible for countless deaths. Combine harvesters constantly grind up rabbits, deer and bugs every minute. Just because you're not eating meat doesn't mean you're not killing things. Basically, all farming is fucked.

I still eat supermarket meat so can't really preach.

I don't want to derail this thread with a huge vegan rant but don't really see what point you're trying to make. For me the whole point of being veggie/vegan is trying to reduce the amount of harm done to animals. The fact that it's impossible to reduce the amount of harm to nothing doesn't mean that it's not worth doing.

Anyway, back on track. I'm thinking about trying Huel to replace lunch when I'm working. That is all.

Yeah, I get it, being veggie is essentially not voting with your wallet for the meat industry but being vegetarian also has massive collateral damage, just not deliberately. I'm really not arguing for either side though, and this isn't the place either.

After a week and a bit of Huel at lunch time, I can confirm a healthier body and wallet.

Slightly "unpredictable" turds tho.

I work as a courier and spend 8-12 hours a day cycling, is there enough in Huel to keep me going for that long? Unpredictable turds sound like a laugh.

It depends how much you use, iirc the packet tells you how much powder you'll need for a given number of calories to chug through the day.

3 scoops is 467 calories IIRC

I just tried some Vanilla Huel. Really pleasantly surprised. Like a crap smoothie with oatmeal in.

tomorrows lunch will be the last of my first bag. think I'll be waiting until the second bag is almost gone before I decide whether to re-order.

I've mixed what's left of the vanilla with the unflavoured one. Will be sticking with vanilla.

Really nice with some areopress coffee and ice.

I'll be ordering some shortly for the first time if anyone wants to stick up a referral code. I'll use whatever is posted first.

.

Cheers. I've ordered using the code.

This.

Though I think 'Really nice' is pushing it.
