Loved your style and humour. I am of a similar age and in a similar state (take that as you may 😁) and have subscribed as I think your videos may help. Thank you for the information and looking forward to following your weight loss journey - I will be on the same path 😁🙏
Superb ! I’m with you on the middle aged, overweight, hypertensive old man category. 4 different tablets but want to get off them all. Weight is definitely an issue so, like you, going to monitor my BP throughout the day and have cut alcohol to 1 day a week only. Let’s see how it goes, but watching you has given me a training partner 👍
Excellent! My BP just seems to keep on dropping, by about 1mm per week as I shed weight - from 146/93 a bit over a month ago, to 140/89 last week, with about half the weight now lost and 4/5 kilos to go.
Hi, just discovered your videos and love them. I've actually just bought an Aktiia BP monitor as a result of watching your video. Purely coincidentally, I was going to go on a Huel diet too after being recommended to me. I've taken that as a sign! I struggle with the BP being on the high side - worse than yours actually. I hope mine starts to go down as yours did!! Thanks
@@alejandratovar428 Well, it is very much like giving up smoking, with a few relapses along the way, but so far I've lost about half what I need to, and the general blood pressure trend is downwards, so it seems to be working, although a few anomalies (BP readings) along the way which I will report on when I hit target weight.
I've just got this monitor for myself and have been on the Huel for a while. I'm not over weight. Just like the the money saving and I can carry it around with me. I walk a lot. I hope you can find the time for more movement in your life. While you wait for the Huel to cook. Keep moving. That's an extra 15-20 min exercise.
Great review, in fact my cardiologist suggested this product, I ordered it today despite some negative reviews on ppor customer services. I would be happy if the device is close to accurate:) I do not have BP yet, just bought this as preventative measure!
Totally amazing review. Absolutely loved it and laughed like a fool. Very very informative and I will now invest. Thank you so much for sharing this Arlo. I'm a fan.
Arlo, you are very entertaining. By the way, I could see the difference in your face by week 3. You did look slimmer. I'm going to investigage Huel and this BP monitor. 3 of my siblings died at 59. I need all the help I can get. Liked and subscribed.
Thank you, I try! Sadly weight back on again. I made the mistake of going to America last summer, where portion sizes are rather different. 59. Crikey. Sobering thought. I'd better get back on the Huel.
Great video. It is a good product. I have been using it, had already needed replacement unit. Shame it's not sweat or water proof. I am sure in 2024 they could it.
Good luck! One thing I didnt say in the film, which may be useful, is that I find the best way to overcome the hunger is to eat nothing till early evening, then have one savoury huel, and one milkshake-type one (vanilla or cinnamon swirl) one after the other, plus a couple of hundred calories of whatever rabbit food is lying about, and that fills me up for the evening. Still, I wouldn't pretend this is easy (although seeing the BP drop on the Aktiia app does help with motivation).
I have been using this product which was very reliable. Unfortunately after 8 months the first one could not charge. So I was sent a replacement and the second replacement the same thing happen. I believe that the sensors part is of not a good quality, as with wrist and skin respiration may cause rust and also not sure why the charging pins after a while sinks in.For a price of £199.00 its not a very good product. Its a shame because it has the making of a great product.
Tx, I forgot to add “in the USA” to my initial comment. The device itself appears to be acquirable in the USA, but the app is not. A few resources, including Forbes, say it’s in the FDA approval process & “coming soon.” That said the most recent of those resources are 1-2 years old. Tx again & if a work around exists / becomes apparent, plz let me/us know.
Absolutely brilliant Arlo! Been chuckling for the last 2 minutes 😂. Looking forward to the next review. 😊
Thank you! That's hugely rewarding for me to hear (rather more rewarding than the advertising revenue at the moment 🥲)

Thanks. I initially wanted a review, but I've -like you - completely lost why I went to watch your video.
LOL

Thanks, and good luck! I'd be interested to hear how it goes.
Is it helping

Thank you very much for such kind words, glad you enjoyed it and a happy new year to you!
Quite excellent Arlo - 10/10 !

This is simply a wonderfully helpful review.
Glad it was useful!
loved this and the humour hahaha
Glad you enjoyed it!
How spooky I was just saying to my dad I hadn't seen you post in a while not ten minutes ago.
Ha … well I’ve got a few more in the pipeline….
@@arlo.guthrie Glad to hear it, your humour and style are right up my alley :)
@@Phil_AKA_ThundyUK that’s good to hear … thank you!
I brought both the band and some huel based on this video!

Great video, suscribed
Thank you! 😀
The comment about offending yourself is spot on this day and age, sad really
Extra points for your linear regression work using a steel ruler overlaid on a phone.
Very enjoyable video thank you
My pleasure!

Great vid. I’m aiming for a similar plan!
Good luck!
Wish it was available in the states…
My 4 year old nephew asking me(a man) if I am having a baby, was the point I realised I needed to sort out my eating.
Tx, much appreciated, helpful & entertaining.
How does one go about acquiring an Aktiia BP monitor?
Glad you enjoyed it. As regards acquiring, link in the description!
Tx, I forgot to add “in the USA” to my initial comment.
The device itself appears to be acquirable in the USA, but the app is not. A few resources, including Forbes, say it’s in the FDA approval process & “coming soon.” That said the most recent of those resources are 1-2 years old.
Tx again & if a work around exists / becomes apparent, plz let me/us know.
Thanks!
Gosh, my first super thanks! Very kind of you - super thanks to you too.
Rebounded me if Mr. Sashi Tharoor
