What does /ck/ think about meal replacements?

Lol I tried this one out for a bit. This was before I was diagnosed with IBS but it turned out the huge wheat content made me swell up like a balloon and gave me horrible watery sharts. I stopped eating it after a couple days. I still have and wear the shirt that came with it though.

>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 25 19:56:47 2022 No.17755885 >>17755499 I think it's a great idea. It's healthy, cheap (compared to eating out) and quick. I don't really care much about flavor and I hate cooking so I eat a couple of times a week for dinner. Can't argue that it's worse than fast food.

>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 25 20:03:16 2022 No.17755914 >>17755818 Huel doens't have wheat (at least in its current form), it's mostly oats and pea protein. Definitely gives some stinky farts for a week or two, though.

It relies on the assumption that we not only fully understand what is needed for a complete diet but that said diet can be assembled from separate components and supplements instead of whole foods and cooking. One look at the state of nutritional science will tell you that we are nowhere near that level.

Picrel was from a time when I could look at stuff like this without thinking "is this conditioning me to be a dehumanized pod person?". Good times.
Fucked up my eating cycle though, I've never eaten normal breakfasts again. Haven't had any in years, but I just don't get hungry in the morning.

Really wouldn't call Huel 'cheap', it's definitely one of the costlier meal replacement shakes.

Their recent "hot and savory" shit is even more expensive than the powder. Still sitting on the fence about this, i like the concept in and of itself but supposedly one bag only holds like four full meals in it, which is overpriced as all hell

But yeah there's better deals out there than huel for sure

Couple useful comparison sites i've found are;

>LatestFuels

THANK YOU
Jesus fucking Christ, why does nobody else understand this? In order for us to completely replace food, we need a complete understanding of nutrition. We're nowhere near that.

Common fucking sense on 4channel. Never thought I'd see the day.

>>	Anonymous Tue Apr 26 05:17:27 2022 No.17757778 >>17755658 Most people I work with eat it, some people almost exclusively. Personally I use it for breakfast on work days and post workout shakes.

Not really the use-case I had in mind.
I was thinking more along the line of manly sick and recovering people who are having trouble with getting their daily nutrition from solid food.
I have seen a few people who meal shakes quite literally saved their life.

It is also useful for people who are in a lifestyle that needs abnormal supplementation of something in their diet. Like body builders who need absurd amounts of lean protean to full muscle growth will minimal fat gain. Or ultra endurance athletes who can't stop for a meal but they do need to refeed to keep going.

I have also seen research of it being a effective part of treating certain eating disorders, but anecdotally I have heard from a few people that said it personally didn't help them much.

The average keyboard jockey doesn't really need them and I doubt they would be of any benefit compared to just normal meal prep or having ready made actual food on hand.
Like maybe some trail mix or sandwiches or something.

This is some retarded american pathology where they're conditioning the society to abandon cooking altogether and only eat takeout and disgusting shit like this. No whole foods for the goyim, you can only eat pre-approved slave gruel or uber eats. It's everywhere if you think about it, from the induction ovens being unusable to push you towards ordering food, gas ovens being banned or at least villified in the name of "green energy" even though they don't even use a lot of gas, to tv shows glofiying this kind of diet and marketing pushing some real world soylent green equivalent. Worst timeline.

Anonymous Tue Apr 26 06:06:41 2022 No.17757852

To my knowledge there has literally been nowhere where gas ovens have been banned nor are they villified here in the US.
Induction ovens are far from useless.
Fast food has ads because it's what is called a "value added product". There is no conspiracy to get people to not cook.

For fuck sakes, TV isn't real life. Stop watching TV, especially if you can't tell the difference between tv and reality.

The point is to normalize it and program everyone subconsciously. "Stop watching TV" is not a solution, people are going to keep watching TV and they are going to keep being exposed to these talmudic ideas. That's the goal, to slowly condition some percentage of people over time until they keep exerting pressure on those that eluded the system.
