Huel will certainly help.
Soldato
Well, Huel CAN help... but as those disclaimers used to say, only as part of a calorie-controlled diet! It's not magical. You don't drink it and lose weight 
It will help, but its not a magic powder the biggest challenge you will have from taken is the 15-30mins after where you may still find yourself hungry be aware of this and occupy your time with something else or have a apple or something. Start with one for breaky and Lunch and have a proper dinner if your lifestyle allows.
p.s
Get yourself a decent shaker with a metal spring thing inside, the huel shakers are pretty crap now.
Soldato
Haha, yes I get that its not a magical cure for being a fatteh..
So far the best thing I've found, other than a change in diet and more exercise was a trip to Senegal where I lost 10Kg in 12 days, certainly a faster way of doing things...

I've now tried the premixed chocolate drink and I'm not a fan. It has an syrupy chocolate flavour and there's something with the aftertaste that doesn't sit well with me. I have been having the unflavoured stuff for years though so I do think I'm the odd one out

Anyone else on the Black edition cookies & cream. Fills me up more than the other flavours for some reason
My favourite is easily the Black coffee and caramel one. It’s breakfast and a cup of coffee in one.

Now I'm leaning more towards the Protein one - 20g protein for 105kcals. It fits better in to my diet, is much easier to mix and tastes better, too. I've ordered the vanilla fudge and chocolate brownie ones to try next. The salted caramel is nice.

Yeah thast the issue I get, works the killer, the cob van comes round around 1100so I end up buying something because I'm hungry by then, and then eat lunch at 1300...
Was much better when the van came round at 1000 as I wasnt hungry by then..
Might get a bag and use that to take the edge off before lunch, or do a midmorning and mid afternoon and stop having 'lunch' as such..

Mine isn't too bad as I was taking my own sandwiches so knew what I was eating, it's just my sandwich of choice is a simple smoked polish cheese and ham/mustard, not the healthiest combo, also have it rather thick. I had a CVD check last week and cholestorel is edging into the caution area so this is a quick win swapping sandwiches for hot huel...it's also convenient for time as my mornings are hectic before I leave for school run/work.

Looking to give Huel a try for my lunches at work. Does anyone have a referral code I can use?

Thanks, sent you a PM

This is where I need to be tbh, but without the coffee, especially in the morning as it screws up your cortisol.
I fluctuate by 4kg over the course of a week anyway so I want to go a bit further than that, low 80's would be easy I reckon due to the junk I eat and a can of Relentless most days probably doesn't help lol

I actually started back on caffeine as it was generally recommended to help lower your weight.
This sounds a little extreme if you're weighing at the same time, and under the same conditions? I guess if you're not limiting amounts at present* and maybe if you're 'quite large' at the moment it can vary more?
* for me, if I'm being strict(ish) but then I binge one day, I would expect to eat maybe 2 (or even 3) lbs more than usual so I would see that weight in the morning, but even then, that's only just around 1½kg. I've had trips away where I went from limiting to eating whatever and I managed to put on 6lbs, but that's quite extreme for me and is still not as much as 4kg!
