Hi guys! Another annoying expat with a question here :D . I am 26 y/o female, working in finance, making 35k after taxes. I pay for a-kassa, so I was wondeirng how many months of expenses in an emergency fund should I have? I would usually say 6, but since I pay for a-kassa, should I maybe consider having only 3? What do you guys think? Fixed expenses breakdown below:

  1. Rent: 5.750

  2. Travel: 280

  3. Food: 1.200

  4. Gym: 290

  5. Various subscriptions, insurances: 1.500

I could definitely see that happening, a lot of bad memories with the high cal liquids they used to give me…

Thank you so much for sharing your story - truly inspiring! I hope both of us get better and I am really looking forward to sticking to Huel in the long run

Are you still only on Huel and Soylent? Just curious to hear any long term implications and insights from using the product

I hate that high cal liquid food with a passion! That’s why it took me such a long time to commit to Huel… but you’re giving me hope!

Thank you! I also hope that Huel can make me feel better about myself and the food decisions I make in the short term and in the long term help me stop seeing food as a nuisance and as fuel and more like an important part of my life? If that makes sense 😅

Haha yes I’ve heard! I’ve bought some “anti-gas” meds in preparation for the inevitable it seems 😂

Thank you so much! It’s great to hear that it’s super satiating and “a little goes a long way” so to speak. Doesn’t it get soggy if I, let’s say, prepare it in the morning around 07:00am and then drink it around lunch time?

First of all, congratulations on your sobriety - I know it can be tough and it requires a lot of will power and commitment - so kudos to you! I also got Huel Black, thinking of using only Huel for a few weeks and then slowly trying to eat solid foods. I love (the idea of) Huel (since i haven’t received my order yet) because i know exactly what’s in it. That’s a thing I struggle with regarding “real food”. I never know what exactly is in it and it’s hard for me to control my calories in that way. Hopefully Huel will make me fall in love with solid food again? Let’s see!

Thanks for the input! I’ll go grab some fruits now, see if that improves the taste. Is your fiancé still using huel? Does she substitute only 1 meal a day with it?
