My Take on FEED: The Truth About These Meals and the Slimming Program! [2024]

When you don't have time to cook, do you reluctantly resort to a sandwich? Or perhaps you splurge on an expensive meal delivery that you'd rather save on?

Today, I want to introduce you to a solution that has transformed my daily life over the past few months: it’s called Feed! You may have heard of it before? These meal replacements are known for their convenience and quality. I've placed several orders over the past few months, and I’ll share my thoughts on it!

What is a Feed?

💖 I absolutely loved it

• The flavour of the bars (especially sesame-chocolate),
• Their convenience and time-saving nature,
• The feeling of satisfaction,
• The effectiveness of the 15-day weight loss program,
• The subscription system,
• The ability to discover and taste the products at my pharmacy.

❌ I liked it less

• Meal replacements in liquid form, which are less convenient and have a stronger flavour,
• The high cost of snacks,
• I couldn't find out where the bars and drinks are produced.

How Does Feed Work?

Behind Feed lies the commitment to offer complete and balanced snacks that require no preparation, allowing you to replace a meal without compromising your health. These are products that you can order directly from the website.

If you want to try the meals before ordering a large quantity, there are discovery packs available. You can also find a stockist near you.

Feed offers meals in the form of drinks or snacks. There are several ranges available:

• Traditional, meals that cater to everyone,
• Light, for those who have a weight loss goal,
• Active, featuring high-protein options.

How to Save Money with a Feed Subscription?

When you visit the Feed website, you obviously have the option to purchase products individually. However, whenever you add a meal to your cart, you’re automatically offered a subscription. Is it really worth it?

Firstly, rest assured that this subscription comes with no commitment. It's simply about choosing the frequency at which you'd like to receive a specific product. This could be:

• Every month,
• Every two months,
• Every three months.

Next, the subscription gives you 15% off your product. For instance, if you want to receive 6 Vanilla Chocolate bars each month, you'll pay $19.51 instead of $22.95 without a subscription, which is almost like getting a bar for free!

Why choose Feed meals over traditional meals?

Before I discovered Feed, whenever I needed a quick lunch, I would often buy a sandwich or get a meal delivered. So why didn't I just carry on with that?

By relying on meals that weren't particularly balanced, I've gradually noticed the impact on my daily life:

• Weight gain,
• Severe fatigue in the afternoon after eating,
• Blood pressure issues,
• digestive difficulties,
• The onset of blood test deficiencies...

So, in the hope of finding a better solution for health, I started testing Feed!

The difference that Feed has made for me is the ability to enjoy balanced and light meals. This had an immediate effect: after my lunch break, I didn't feel the need to nap for several hours. I became more efficient, allowing me to complete tasks more quickly.

As a sole trader, it's essential for me to stay fit and focused throughout the day. Feed has truly transformed my daily routine!

Beverage or Bar, What's the Difference?

For my first order on Feed, I tried both the drinks and bars from the Original and Light ranges. Here’s what you need to know about these two formats.

Feed drinks: a liquid version reminiscent of protein shakes

The drinks are prepared in a shaker provided by Feed, or you can use your own shaker. It takes only 30 seconds! Simply pour 300ml of water into the shaker, then add three scoops of Feed powder. After that, shake it for a moment and it's ready to drink!

🥕 Feed offers a variety of sweet flavours (chocolate, vanilla, red fruits...), as well as flavours that are more savory such as Vegetables and Tomatoes, which are not available in bars. If you’re after a meal with these flavours, you'll need to opt for drinks that you can prepare.

👉 If you prefer not to prepare it yourself, there are ready-to-drink meals available that are a bit pricier, but they save you the hassle of mixing.

Bars, a delicious snack that replaces an entire meal!

The start-up Feed has been offering bars for several years now that look like muesli bars. Similar to drinks, one bar is equivalent to a complete and balanced meal.

The bars are a little bit more expensive than the drinks, but they're ready to eat.

What did I prefer between the bars and the drinks?

At first, I genuinely thought I'd prefer the drinks, as they felt more like sipping a soup, which reminded me of a proper meal. However, over time, I ended up preferring the bars, as they provided a better feeling of fullness and felt lighter on my stomach.

👉 In my opinion, the best approach is to try both and find out what suits your tastes, habits, and needs the most! For this, the discovery pack for $21.90 offered by Feed is truly ideal.

When to Take Feed?

Relying solely on Feed meals isn't recommended. However, substitutes can be consumed quite regularly, as the suggested routine for programs is two Feed meals per day and one regular meal.

Feed is handy because you can reorganise your intake however you like. If you feel like having a bar for breakfast and lunch, for instance, that's completely doable.

Feed offers you snacks that you can grab as a bite to eat whenever you feel a bit peckish:

Is Feed environmentally friendly?

As an innovative start-up, Feed stands out with its environmental commitments, which are detailed on its website and social media. Three main areas are highlighted:

• The quality control of ingredients, featuring 100% plant-based and sustainable products.
• Water conservation: producing plant-based proteins uses significantly less water than livestock farming. By consuming 1000 Feed meals, over a million litres of water will be saved!
• Recycling, including:
• recyclable and recycled packaging cartons sourced from sustainably managed forests,
• minimising packaging as much as possible,
• the "Imprim'vert" certification for partner printers (environmentally friendly inks, waste reduction...).

Is Feed Vegan? Gluten-Free? Halal?

The aim of Feed is to provide convenient and healthy meals for everyone. All Feed products are vegan and gluten-free. They are designed to be easy to digest and are made without GMOs.

Feed products are, however, neither Halal nor Kosher. Since they are vegan, they may still be suitable for individuals who follow these diets.

👉 In any case, I really appreciated being able to check the exact ingredients of each meal from its product page on the site. This makes it easier to see if it suits us, especially if we have any allergies!

Can I consume Feed if I have diabetes?

Feed products are designed for consumption by individuals with diabetes, featuring a low glycemic index ranging from 22 to 30. However, I recommend that you consult your doctor before trying Feed meals, just to ensure that they're suitable for you!

What delivery options are available with Feed? 🚛

In mainland France, you can have your meals delivered to you:

• at home or at work, within 3 to 4 business days with Colissimo,
• at a Mondial Relay pickup point, in the same timeframe,
• by express delivery, with Chronopost: they will arrive in 48 hours!

🌍 For deliveries to the rest of Europe, it will take between 6 and 10 business days.

Is Feed harmful to health?

To answer this question, let's turn to the experts! Here’s a report lasting less than 5 minutes, featured in the show "La Quotidienne" on France 5, discussing food substitutes and specifically focusing on Feed:

It features a testimonial from a Feed client, as well as, importantly, how the products are made, along with insights from a nutritionist dietitian!

👩‍⚕️ This doctor confirms that the freeze-drying technique used to create Feed products helps to retain the nutritional value of the food. While it’s not advisable to rely solely on Feed meals (as it's important to continue chewing solid foods and maintain a normal caloric intake!), there is no danger in consuming them quite frequently if you are in good health!

Does Feed help with weight loss?

The Feed Original and Sport ranges are not designed to help you lose weight. If that’s your goal, you should consider the Feed Light products, or even the weight loss program offered by the brand.

How Do Feed Light Products Help with Weight Loss?

In this range, you'll find what has made classic meals successful: convenient meal bars and meal shakes that can be mixed easily. To assist you in your weight loss journey, these meals are specifically designed to be low in calories.

They're also rich in fibre and protein, helping to boost your digestion while providing everything you need each day.

Source: Feed.co

They also have a secret ingredient: Konjac! This is a root with a strong appetite-suppressing effect that helps retain water in the stomach.

🍫 Each Feed Light bar contains less than 250 kcal and just 8 grams of sugar! That's even less than a piece of fruit! They also contain essential vitamins and minerals to keep you feeling healthy!

How Does the Feed Weight Loss Program Work?

We offer you 3 different treatment durations to choose from based on your goal:

Source: Feed.co

The idea is to replace two meals a day, of your choice, with Feed meals. The third meal should be balanced and low in calories for it to work effectively.

👉I tested the weight loss program with 32 meals last month for 16 days, as I had gained a bit of weight and wanted to give it a go. I was quite pleased with the selection of bars! Personally, I had a Feed meal in the morning and another one at lunch, with a light dinner of soup or vegetables. I lost 4 kilos and almost a clothing size in just over two weeks: I'm really happy with that!

What is the cost of a weight loss program?

The cost of treatments varies depending on their duration:

🤑 The "savings made" column shows the money you save by opting for a subscription plan instead of buying the products individually from the Feed website.

Can I give a Feed gift card? 🎁

At the moment, it doesn't seem like there's a gift card option available on the site! Feel free to check if things have changed since this article was published, as that would be a shame!

What do customers think about Feed? Discover their reviews!

To find out if Feed is what you're looking for, there’s nothing better than carefully reading customer reviews. To save you some time, I’ve done the research for you and I’ll summarise the key points.

About the Feed Review Tool

On its website, Feed allows its clients to leave ratings along with comments. The review platform appears quite impartial, as it features both positive and negative feedback.

There are a large number of reviews: 3268 reviews to date, giving a fairly comprehensive overview of what customers think of Feed products.

Source: Feed.co

It’s clear that over 70% of reviews are rated 5 stars, which is really encouraging! That means more than 7 out of 10 people are very satisfied!

💚 Feed customers loved:

• The taste of Feed meals, especially the bars,
• The quick delivery (often within 48 hours),
• The success in their weight loss with the "change your size" program,
• The time-saving aspect,
• Products tailored for athletes that assist during training.

Examples of positive feedback on Feed

❌ They liked it less:

• This drink can be a bit too bitter for some,
• In summer: the chocolate bars may arrive slightly melted,
• Some people didn’t have a shaker and had to buy one specifically,
• A few people struggled to digest these bars.

About Trustpilot

Since Feed has its own review platform, there aren't many on Trustpilot: only 38. The average rating of these reviews is 3.5 out of 5:

Overall, the feedback is similar to what's on the Feed site. Satisfied customers praise the great taste of the product, its value for money, and the effectiveness of the program.

People who were dissatisfied had some isolated issues, such as problems with delivery or the taste of the bars.

My Verdict on Feed ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Before writing this review, I ordered meals from Feed several times and even completed a 16-day weight loss program! Here’s what I thought about the experience.

Was it easy to place an order on the Feed website?

It was very straightforward, indeed. The different ranges are easy to understand. As for the treatment, I quickly knew what to choose based on my needs.

The only thing I found a bit disappointing is that there is no information on where the bars and drinks are made. Since this is a French company, I would have liked to know if their factory is also located in France.

How did the delivery of my Feed meals go?

With each order, I was very pleased with the delivery. I always opted for home delivery with Colissimo, and the parcels arrived within 48 to 72 hours after my order, in excellent condition, which was really fantastic. The quick arrival of the meals was a great motivation to kick-start my weight loss program!

Were the meals any good?

I really loved the light bars, especially the chocolate-brownie and chocolate-sesame flavours. Besides being convenient, these bars are easy on the stomach and digest very easily.

Initially, I also ordered a discovery pack with some snacks, which were quite good. However, I haven't ordered them again as I found them a bit expensive for just some nibbles.

I also tried the shaker drinks, but I was less impressed. I found the flavour quite strong and lingering after finishing the drink. That's why, for the weight loss program, I later opted for bars only.

Source: Instagram (@feed.fr)

Did the weight loss program work?

Here's my summary:

• I lost 4 kilograms in 16 days by swapping my breakfast and lunch for a Feed Light bar,
• I felt lighter and I didn’t experience any energy crashes,
• In terms of digestion, I wasn’t bothered at all. I was also taking a natural supplement (blonde psyllium powder) to aid digestion, which worked just as well as eating regular meals.
• The only tricky part was having to eat a bar when sharing lunch with others. That’s why sometimes I switched lunch and dinner, as recommended on the Feed website.

✅ To sum it up, I'm really pleased to have discovered Feed. These little meals often make my life easier. Since they can be a bit pricey and I'm quite the foodie, I tend to use them only on special occasions when I'm looking for something quick and easy!
