hey guys welcome back to my channel so today's video
is a little bit of a challenge the last seven days i have been drinking nothing but fuel
now i say nothing i've been drinking nothing but huel in the daytime in the evenings i've been
having evening meals but i've replaced breakfast and lunch with huel a couple of weeks ago i posted
a video about giving up diet coke for 100 days and i documented the results so go and watch that
now or after this video because if you enjoy this one you'll probably enjoy that one too for those
of you who don't know what huel is firstly let me just say this video is not sponsored at all
i bought the huel products with my own money this is going to be a completely honest review
i'm not in touch with anyone at huel if you want to get in touch they can hello
but anyway for those that don't know cure is a company that sells nutritionally complete shakes
basically so you replace this meal replacement you can have it in addition to your food or you
can use it as a total meal replacement i as i said have decided to replace breakfast and
lunch um i think it stands for human fuel it's pretty much vegan i think and animal friendly
it's eco from what i've read online they seem like a really really good ethical company and
the shakes are genuinely nutritionally complete it's not like some of these other companies
you know back in the day when my mom used to be on these milkshakes to lose weight they're not like
that they're actually full of goodness and they give you all the nutrients you possibly need to
consume as a human being in a day so i thought hmm does this work at the start i thought i was
gonna hate it because i love eating there was no way i ever would want to replace a meal with a
drink but i was like let me just give it a good go now the main aim for this is for me to lose weight
it's january i'm trying to lose a bit of fat i want to retain as much muscle as possible so i
chose the black edition of the fuel powder which is higher in protein and lowering carbs but my aim
is to lose weight i've been filming all week so let me just take it to when it arrived right so my
fuel package has arrived let's open this up you're a hooligan now you've made the right choice to be
healthier save cash and help our planet okay what have we got in here okay so i think this might
be the t-shirt you get a free t-shirt with every order so that's great so i've got salted caramel
black edition which is higher in protein and lowering carbs and the same but vanilla cool and
then oh it comes with a shaker fantastic very nice and two scoops one for each bag very very good
let's open this t-shirt i ordered a a black small sometimes i'm small sometimes i'm medium so let's
let's hope this fits do you know what they're so clever with their marketing because then people
will wear these in the gym and stuff and then it's free advertising yeah that'll fit very nice let me
put it on very good i'm officially a huoligan very nice right it's monday the 11th of january
2021 and it's my first day of having fuel so what i've got here is the black edition fuel which is
the one that has less carbs in it and more protein so per shake it should be about 400 calories per
shake and about 40 grams of protein per shake i'm not looking forward to this one guys i love
food so much i love eating this just doesn't appeal to me replacing meals with shakes i mean
this morning is fine i never eat breakfast really anyway sometimes i have protein porridge
if i'm trying to put on muscle and bulk at the moment i'm not i'm trying to lose fat
so i just do intermittent fasting and i don't eat until about 12 or 1 o'clock this morning won't be
too difficult because i'm just having something extra that i don't normally have but i think lunch
time is going to be really tough because i love eating and i love chewing and i don't want to
drink my calories but we'll give it a go here we go i've got 500 ml of water i'm going to have the
salted caramel flavor two scoops it smells like play-doh it doesn't smell like salted caramel
this is a lot of liquid whenever i drink my protein shakes i always put a tiny amount of
liquid in it because i hate them and i just want to get it down whereas this is a lot
right i definitely need a coffee but let's try this fuel it smells more like salted caramel now
not bad that's definitely i was gonna say it's definitely nicer than my protein shakes not that
much nicer but it is like nicer and actually with this amount of liquid i could see how it would
fill me up luckily i've got a really busy day today i don't think i'm to miss it too much it
might actually be a really good thing that i'm on this today because i've got to drive up to london
around lunchtime so i'm not going to have much time to make food hello good morning so yeah
let's see what happens i should also say that i have just weighed myself this morning and i'm
87.1 kilograms and as i've said earlier my goal is still to lose fat so i want to see if using these
calorie control nutritionally i can't even say the slogan calorie controlled nutritionally complete
i've got a voiceover job today and i can't even talk see if they make any difference to see if
they actually help you to lose weight because in my mind i'm like well i don't normally eat
breakfast so this is adding calories in i probably only have around 400 calories for lunch anyway
so will i even lose weight i just want to be less than 87.1 kilograms i would like to lose at least
half a kilogram so let's aim for 86.6 kilograms okay shake done i'm feeling full it didn't taste
like delicious but i guess that's not really the point the point is i'm full and i've got all the
nutrition that i need right so i've just arrived in london my voiceover job is in half an hour or
40 minutes i have to quickly upload something for a client and then i can uh finish off my fuel so
i've been sipping it on the way down obviously it's quite hard to drive and drink so that's why
i've still got some left it's a little bit warm now but i'm enjoying it actually do you know what
it really kept me full i was so full all morning i had a really busy morning i then had some chicken
bites as a snack because i want some extra protein if i have two shakes a day that will give me about
80 grams of protein so i had another 20 grams of chicken and i've got a normal dinner tonight
so um yeah so far so good so after day one and finished i was feeling really happy i weighed
myself on the morning of day two and i had lost a full kilogram good morning guys it's tuesday it's
day two so yesterday i weighed 87.1 kilograms and this morning i weigh 86.1 kilograms which means in
the space of one day i've lost one kilogram which is 2.2 pounds obviously i'm pleased with that in
a way but i'm also a little bit now nervous because i don't want to lose weight that fast
that's not healthy and that could mean that i'm losing muscle mass but i did eat quite a lot of
protein yesterday i calculated i think i had about 150 170 grams of protein and bearing in mind like
i i had a full-on evening meal i had pasta like a big bowl of pasta and usually pasta will make you
way heavier the next day because it retains water weight but yes i'm i'm very confused i don't know
how i've lost one kilogram maybe it's because the shakes normally i have foods sitting in my body
and the food itself weighs and maybe it's the the shakes don't weigh as much but yeah a little bit
happy because you guys know that i was worried that i would put on weight because i don't eat
breakfast and this is adding in an extra meal but i'm now a little bit concerned that maybe
it's happening too fast so i'm gonna do it again today and see what happens and if i
lose dramatically again tomorrow then i know that i need to eat a bit more i think this is good news
but i'm not sure i was dubious because i was like where's this come from it's impossible to lose a
kilogram of fat overnight and it's impossible to lose a kilogram of muscle overnight so i think my
body was just adjusting to more of a liquid diet but the thing is i ate normally in the evening
i had a massive bowl of pasta i had a yogurt i had a cookie i had multiple bits of chocolate so
i ate kind of normally and i still managed to lose weight at this stage i mean i don't know
if it's fat but lose weight right we are just off for a walk aren't we ava all right let's go
we've been doing this every day been doing about five miles every single day got my wellies on it
right this morning i'm gonna have an iced salty caramel one with a shot of coffee
good i missed the cut this is what happens when you film i don't look what you're doing
am i gonna get it in this time who knows yes so this is what i'm having for breakfast and this is
what my dad's having peanut butter on toast what do you think to me doing fuel i wouldn't do it
you're happy with the peanut butter happy with peanut butter okay fine i'll get back
to this thing it's nice with a shot of coffee anyway it's day three and i'm feeling good i've
waved myself this morning and i've gained a 0.2 of a kilo since yesterday's huge drop
of one kilogram so i'm quite happy with that because it means sort of i'm evening out and
sort of recovering from that huge drop in weight some of you might be thinking well why aren't you
happy with that drop but as i said yesterday i'm worried that you know it's impossible to lose one
kilo of fat in one day so it's either water weight or i've lost muscle mass or something
like that but equally it's that it's impossible to lose that much muscle mass in one day so i'm like
what is it but yeah i'm feeling good these really do keep you full so i'm i haven't been hungry at
all while i've been drinking these which is great but i have really looked forward to my
evening meal because obviously i've been eating normally in the evenings and i just could never
replace every single meal with one of these because i love eating right i've just had a
four hour call with my business coach and i'm hungry it's uh two o'clock so i'm gonna have my
lunchtime fuel i had a little break on the call so i came downstairs and had one of these
refrigerators which i absolutely love these are 19 grams of protein and they're just so yummy so
i've had that every day as a little snack to keep me going between breakfast and lunch plus to top
up my protein time to crack on i'm gonna go for a dog walk and then i'm gonna have a workout with my
brother and then dinner alright it's day four now and i'm gonna try the exact recipe as the other
days but in the blender apparently this makes it really smooth and velvety i've put slightly less
water in as well so it might be thicker but i've still gone for a shot of coffee as well
it's definitely smooth though right it's day six of my fuel challenge or whatever you want to call
this i've had my fuel for this morning and do you know what over the past couple of days i've
started to feel really hangry in the afternoon at about three four five o'clock and all the way
until six o'clock because that's when i tend to have dinner when i'm at home i feel really really
hangry i'm so hungry that i'm angry if you don't know what that means it's just the craving of like
eating food so as i said even though i've been having a few little snacks like some chicken bites
and stuff it just doesn't satisfy that craving so by the time it comes to our evening meal
i'm like shoveling it down and i'm so happy after i've eaten because i love chewing food
so yeah it is filling but it's now you know day six and i'm starting to be like i don't think
i could do this i'm enjoying it still the results are still there my weight is still going down but
yeah it's just i get a bit angry when it came to the weekend i must say i didn't stick to it i had
my fuel shake in the morning on the saturday and the sunday but by the time it got to lunch time on
both the saturday and sunday i wanted normal food so i gave in and i had sandwiches and i just ate
what i liked to be fair i didn't really mind too much because it made me realize that oh maybe this
isn't sustainable for me because i am craving being able to eat my food rather than drink it
so it was a bit of an indicator to me maybe fuel is good for me in the mornings or for lunch time
but maybe five days a week rather than the full seven i weigh myself every single day monday to
sunday so as you can see my weight dropped and then it kind of went up a bit at the weekend
because i was eating bread and all the delicious things but on average my average weight for the
week before i started fuel was 87.4 kilograms and my average weight for the hull week was 86.3
so that is a loss of 1.1 kilograms in one week now as i've said before just because i've lost weight
doesn't mean i've lost fat it could be water weight it could be stuff to do with salt
it could be a bit of muscle loss it could be a bit fat loss it could be anything so
don't get me wrong i'm not here saying i lost 1.1 kilograms of fat i'm not but i did lose 1.1
kilograms of weight and i do feel better i felt like i had more energy last week and i can feel
a bit trimmer like i just feel like i have lost a bit of fat so i'm really really pleased with
that result i wasn't really expecting it but as i said towards the end of those clips i was
starting to feel a little bit hangry and i wasn't the most pleasant person to be around last week
for the last few days so i'm still doing it this week it's actually now thursday of the following
week and i've been having fuel every single day but not for breakfast i've now cut out breakfast
again i just don't like eating or drinking at breakfast time i just like having a coffee
and that is it so um i've been having fuel for lunch and it's really good when i'm busy it is
a bit harder when i'm at home but i've had fuel today and i've been at home all day and it's now
gone four o'clock half past four and i'm starting to feel quite hungry now but yeah so going forward
i think i'm gonna continue having fuel in my diet somehow i'm going to continue having it for lunch
but i won't do it for lunch every single day so i think i'll reserve having you all for when i'm
super busy and don't have time to cook or can't be bothered to cook and i'll have it when i feel
like it and i won't when i don't because to be honest i don't think it is fully sustainable for
a human being to drink fuel you know for breakfast and lunch for the rest of their life i don't want
to drink my calories i like eating them so i feel like i could maybe do cure for lunch maybe three
days a week or something like that so i'm gonna try it out i'm gonna keep going with it i mean
i've still got the bags to finish but yeah i was really pleased with the results i'm continuing
to drop weight so as i said this week was an unofficial week i haven't really been filming
it but i've had fuel for lunch every day this week and i weighed myself this morning and i'm now 84.9
so my weight has continued to just drop i mean when i did filmed the first clip i think i was
87.1 kilograms and i'm now 84.9 so my weight is still going down which is really really great it's
great that they're high in protein too because it's helping retain muscle mass anyway i hope you
found this video helpful or enjoyable in some way maybe you're thinking of trying out huel if you're
looking for a yes or no for me i'd say yes give it a go if you're one of those people that doesn't
mind drinking your calories as opposed to eating them then i'd say try it out i don't mind doing
that a few days a week but i definitely couldn't do it all the time but yeah if you enjoyed the
video please click subscribe i post videos every single week if you enjoy these types of videos
then i did another one where i gave up diet coke for 100 days and documented the results so that
will be in the link in the description so go and check that out and i'll see you next time bye
you
