I don't buy it. I have lived on two meal replacements a day for decades. For dinner, I pretty much eat whatever I want, not always healthy. I feel great. I started this years ago because I had bad GI issues and this diet seems to keep the IBS at bay. I guess we all have to figure out what works for us. Also, I find when I drink a meal replacement, I am satisfied longer. My doctor knows what I do and it has her blessing. I know Ensure gets a bad rap, but my late Grandmother lived on it for 15 years because she wasn't eating and she lived well into her 90s, so the way I look at it, it kept her live longer.
@@franchesskaw36 I think nutrition optimum gold whey protein is the best, But don’t take my advice I’m not 100% sure, that’s just with the research I use. They talk about the bite and that protein doesn’t have But I’m just gonna take multivitamins that covers that. Make sure u search to find the right amount you need :)
@stephen geraci So the meal replacement really help with your GI? I got bad acid reflux and I'm wondering if I go on a liquid meal replacement will help with that.
I've been living on meal replacement shakes since end of July, I snack on fruit and nuts to hit my daily calorie goals but that's about it. This is the second time I've gone this route with my diet and I always feel better on them. They also solve a lot of the drama if you end up developing a negative relationship with food like I occasionally do. Yes eating a balanced and healthy diet is inherently better but sometimes circumstances just don't allow for it.
Recently saw one 35 years old Japanese guy living in Tokyo who has been living on comp(one of the popular meal replacements over there) for 6 years on TH-cam Japanese News show called “Abema TV”. He also did a blood test and his anatomy check and he all had grade “A” except on the “body fat” section which gave grade C because his body fat was way too low 😂 he’s taking only taking meal replacements and protein powder twice a day. He said a diet is determined by “how much your shit costs.” 😂
I can comfortably replace one meal a day with this type of shake and feel satiated as well as satisfied throughout my day. Any more than that and my hunger cues go wild! Cool video 😊
I also used Soylent to keep my weight down. When I visited my Dad at his assisted living facility, his life seemed to revolve around the three meals he got every day. To keep my weight down, I drank two liquid Soylents, one at breakfast and one at lunch. Then I ate a normal dinner. I found that the Soylent was so dense that I really needed to drink a glass of water with it. One sip of Soylent, one sip of water, repeat. Another discovery was that I wasn't concentrating on eating food and was able to really engage in conversation with my Dad. The water plus Soylent seemed to give me a full feeling, and I never felt hungry.
I've seen several fitness enthusiasts over the years who simply used protein shakes as the protein portion of an otherwise full meal that included fruits, vegetables, beans, legumes, etc. Since the protein portion of the meal typically involves the lengthiest preparation, this also affords them much of the convenience associated with having solely protein shakes for meals.
I have been trying to find a good meal replacement because I have had throat cancer and like most throat cancer survivors I struggle to eat solid foods. No saliva and hard to swallow period. ALL the videos I have watched address this issue from the choosing to use meal replacements position. But never looks at it from the point of view of what if you are not blessed with that problem. What if your problem is without meal replacement drinks you would slowly shrivel up and die? With that in mind I wish I could get a meal replacement that didn't cost a fortune but was also healthy. I do eat a solid food meal (although soft foods) in the evening but it is so difficult it probably only accounts for 20% of my daily calories. I try to get 2000 calories and also Protein drinks to get proteins. What is a good healthy choice for the rest of your life daily consumption that doesn't cost $7 to $10 a meal?
I use Orgain Organic Plant based protein which literally has every green vegetable , superfluous, and amino acids in it then I add a banana, peanut butter, Kale , spinach, cinnamon, and honey and use Grass-fed milk! Its so delicious and filling! I literally crave it!
@@pinkieponk noooo ensure has the most unpleasant texture I recommend boost vanilla normal not extra fiber or extra protein (makes them thicker and slightly unpleasant to drink) and vanilla because I haven't needed to try any other flavor since I'm happy with the same thing everyday!
Also autistic here and searching for meal replacement as I only eat like 4 different foods and they are not very good or nutritious. I hope you found something that works for you
I have a hiatal hernia and it’s slowly becoming more impossible to eat solid food without vomiting or getting heartburn so painful it feels like a heart attack. I am gonna try a meal replacement shake diet along with probiotic yogurts and fruits. Hopefully I lose some weight which will help with the pain
I get upset stomach and Diarrhea from eating regular food, especially Fruits and vegetables. What is the healthiest Meal Replacement shake for daily use? Thanks
I've tried shakes many times but never really managed to keep it going past a couple of weeks. For lockdown 3.0 in the UK I started eating the growli complete food, so far I am liking that a lot more.
2 meal replacement shakes at work and a protein bar, later on when home a meal, than I have a few snacks like blueberries, some nuts etc and obvs now and again some junk food like some chocolate
I just want some cuz I work odd jobs and never have a good eat schedule, hell sometimes I either miss the time frame or forget to eat. And if I do remember, I’m always on the road so I’m mostly eating either fast food or snacks which I’m trying to lean away from. So I’m looking for a product that could fill in for that department so any ideas? And no I’m not gonna solely relying on meal replacement shakes. Oh my days off I’ll actually go out and eat something.
People aren't thinking about the fact that some protein powders are fully balanced with veggies. Amino acids, and all the vitamins you need. Plus, you can add things like a banana, scoop of peanut butter, and some fresh spinach and Kale, with Grass-fed organic milk. Smh people act like the question means ONLY protein powder. I use an Organic Plant based Protein that has literally Everything you need plus over 50 super foods ! I add Grass-fed milk , peanut butter, Spinach and Kale which is already in the powder …
One simple reason why you should never try to replace solid food with liquid food: dental health, which affects a bunch of other health issues. If you don't use your teeth, not only will your gum be affected, but also you will lose bone mass under your gum. Young folks in their early 20s might not ever think about it. But once you hit your 30s and begin to realise that your dental health is ruined, it'd be too late.
I've never heard of that in my life. If you don't bite enough, your teeth decay? Wut? I've subsisted on an almost entirely liquid diet since I was 15 to now, 34, for a health issue, and I don't have any bone loss in my teeth.
I actually did push her on that in the full interview, she noted that it's hard to know how much of these ingredients survive the processing, sitting on a shelf for months, etc. Which is fair, but the plantyness of Huel is definitely a big part of why I consume it! - Nick
Yes exactly ! Haha this is so irritating! I use Orgain Organic Plant based protein which literally has every green vegetable , superfluous, and amino acids in it then I add a banana, peanut butter, Kale , spinach, cinnamon, and honey and its so delicious and filling!
one problem is if you start comparing meal replacement to a healthy diet. Like no, imo the people going for a quick replacement are the fast food people, not the let's prepare food and cook for 1 hour. I don't think people understand how convenient it is to even just have one meal a day that is prepared in under a minute.
It probably does, yeah, but when I talk to biochemists about this stuff (like Trevor Kashey) they'll note that it's hard to know if/how many phytochemicals survive the processing and the months on a shelf. Or it might not be that hard, but it's not tested for, and every batch would have different amounts if it has any at all, etc. - Nick
Maybe you could contact Huel and ask if there is any testing for the good plant stuff. Also if they have information on losing ingredients due to time. This is very interesting!
True meal replacement can replace a meal but it should not have to with me i normally take a meal replacement with my meal to get the vitamins and minerals my meal would be missing. Like to be honest if we tryed to get everything we need in our bodies we would have a 300 to 500 dollar grocery bill and sadly that would be for a single person for big families it would be higher unless you know cheap recipes that have everything.
Of course. You'll also lose bone mass in the jaw if you don't use your teeth, and very quickly too. Ask any dental surgeon who does bone grafting for patients needing implants.
@@bubblegumbitch218 No. You shouldn't grind your teeth against each other without food (or gum). You're just destroying your own enamel and it won't grow back (despite what some toothpaste adverts would want you to believe). Once it's gone, it's gone.

im also autistic, have u had any luck finding a good one? (ive heard ensure is good but its also so expensive..)

This only refers to shakes, but there are meal replacement bars, like the Otsuka Calorie Blocks. Solids definitely digest better than liquids.

From my experience, I've noticed that my head hurts if i don't use my jaw muscles to bite on solid food...i think the body needs that experience
Chew gum
Chew the shake while u swallow it lol I do that with smoothies and stuff

I won’t do more than 2 smoothies or shakes a day I prefer food
I'm SO CURIOUS why bro chose the name Soylent... He and anyone who buys this must be to young to remember that SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE!?!?

So grow your own veggies n fruit and eat these shakes
