My Take on FEED: The Truth About These Meals and the Weight Loss Programme! [2024]

When you don't have time to cook, do you reluctantly settle for a sandwich? Or perhaps a rather expensive takeaway that you would have preferred to save on?

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

What is a Feed?

💖 I loved it

• The flavour of the bars (especially sesame-chocolate),
• Their convenience and time-saving aspect,
• The feeling of satiation,
• The effectiveness of the 15-day weight loss programme,
• The subscription system,
• The ability to discover and taste the products in my local pharmacy.

❌ What I liked less

• Meals in liquid form are less practical and have a stronger flavour,
• The high cost of the snacks,
• I couldn't find where the bars and drinks were manufactured.

How Does Feed Work?

Behind Feed lies the desire to offer wholesome and balanced snacks, ready to eat, that allow 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 full batch, there are discovery packs available. It is also possible to find a retailer near you.

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

• Original, classic meals that suit everyone,
• Light, for those who have a weight loss goal,
• Sport, featuring high-protein options.

How to Save Money with the Feed Subscription?

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

First and foremost, please be aware that this subscription involves no commitment whatsoever. It simply requires you to choose the frequency at which you would like to receive a specific product. This can be:

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

Next, subscribing allows you to enjoy a 15% discount on your product. For instance, if you want to receive 6 Vanilla Chocolate bars each month, you will pay £19.51 instead of £22.95 without a subscription, which means you get almost one bar for free!

Why choose Feed meals over traditional meals?

Before discovering Feed, when I needed a quick lunch, I often bought a sandwich or had a meal delivered. So why didn’t I just carry on doing that?

By consuming meals that aren't particularly balanced, I've gradually noticed the effects on my daily life:

• Weight gain,
• Severe fatigue in the afternoon after eating,
• Blood pressure issues,
• Problems with digestion,
• The emergence of deficiencies in my blood tests...

It was in the hope of finding a better solution for my health that 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 no longer felt the need for an afternoon nap for several hours. I became more efficient and this allowed me to complete tasks more quickly.

As a self-employed person, it's essential for me to stay fit and focused throughout the day. Feed has truly transformed my daily routine in this regard!

Drink or Bar, What's the Difference?

During my first order on Feed, I tried both the Original and Light ranges of drinks and bars. 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 in your own personal shaker. It takes just 30 seconds! Simply pour 300ml of water into the shaker, then add three scoops of Feed powder. After that, give it a good shake 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 savoury, such as Vegetables and Tomatoes, which are not available in bar form. If you want a meal with these flavours, you will need to opt for the drinks to prepare.

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

The bars, a delicious biscuit that replaces an entire meal!

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

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

What did I prefer: the bars or the drinks?

Initially, I genuinely thought I would prefer the drinks, as they felt more like sipping soup, reminiscent of a proper meal. However, in practice, I ended up preferring the bars, which provided me with a better feeling of fullness and were lighter on my stomach.

👉 In my opinion, the best approach is to try both and see what best fits your preferences, habits, and needs! To do this, the discovery pack at £21.90 offered by Feed is truly ideal.

When to Take Feed?

Relying solely on Feed meals is not recommended. However, substitutes can be consumed quite regularly, as the suggested routine during the diets is two Feed meals per day and one regular meal.

Feed is convenient in that you can distribute your intake as you wish. For instance, if you feel like having a bar for breakfast and lunch, that's entirely possible.

Feed offers you some snacks that you can enjoy as a quick bite whenever you feel a little peckish:

Is Feed environmentally friendly?

As an innovative start-up, Feed stands out for its environmental commitments, which are outlined on its website and social media. Three main areas can be identified:

• The quality control of ingredients, featuring 100% plant-based and sustainable products.
• The water conservation: producing plant proteins uses significantly less water than livestock farming. By consuming 1,000 Feed meals, over a million litres of water will be saved!
• Recycling, including:
• recyclable and recycled packaging made from sustainably managed forests,
• a significant reduction in packaging,
• 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 as many people as possible. All Feed products are therefore vegan and gluten-free. They are designed to be easy to digest and are made without GMOs.

However, Feed products are neither Halal nor Kosher. Since they are vegan, they may still be suitable for those following these diets.

👉 In any case, I really appreciated being able to check the exact composition of each meal from its product page on the website. This allows us to confirm whether it suits our needs, especially if we have any allergies!

Can I consume Feed if I have diabetes?

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

What are the possible delivery options with Feed? 🚛

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

• to your home or workplace, within 3 to 4 working days with Colissimo,
• at a Mondial Relay collection point, within the same timeframe,
• via express delivery with Chronopost: they will arrive within 48 hours!

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

Is Feed Dangerous for Your Health?

To answer this question, it’s best to turn to the experts! Here’s a report of under 5 minutes published in the programme "La Quotidienne" on France 5, focusing on food substitutes and particularly on Feed:

It features a testimonial from a Feed client, but more importantly, it explains how the products are made, along with insights from a nutritionist!

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

What is the price of Feed meals? 💰

Here is the unit price of Feed products by category:

🤑 If you subscribe, you will receive 15% off these prices! Here are the rates that will be reserved for you:

What payment methods are accepted by Feed? 💳

Feed accepts a variety of payment methods, including:

• The Blue Card, Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Maestro,
• PayPal,
• Foreign payment methods: Giropay, Sofort Banking, iDEAL, Bancontact...

Is it possible to pay for my Feed order in instalments?

It is possible to pay in three instalments starting from a purchase of £99. Feed collaborates with the microcredit company Alma, which manages this payment option for you.

Does Feed help with weight loss?

The Feed products from the Original and Sport ranges are not designed to help you lose weight. To achieve this goal, you should consider the Feed Light products or even the weight loss programme offered by the brand.

How do Feed Light products help with weight loss?

In this range, you'll find what has made classic meals so successful: convenient meal bars and meal shakes that are easy to prepare. To assist you in losing weight, these meals are specifically formulated to be low in calories.

They are also rich in fibre and protein, helping to boost your digestion and providing you with everything you need on a daily basis.

Source: Feed.co

They also have a secret ingredient: Konjac! This is a root that possesses a strong appetite-suppressing effect and retains water in the stomach.

🍫 A Feed Light bar contains fewer than 250 kcal and only 8 grams of sugar! That’s less than in a piece of fruit! They also include essential vitamins and minerals, to help keep you healthy!

How does the Feed weight loss programme work?

We offer you 3 different durations of treatment, to choose from according to your goal:

Source: Feed.co

The principle is to replace two meals a day, of your choosing, with Feed meals. The third meal should be balanced and low in calories for it to be effective.

👉 I tested the weight loss programme for 16 days with 32 meals last month, as I had gained a bit of weight and wanted to give it a try. I was quite pleased with the selection of bars! Personally, I had a Feed meal for breakfast and another for lunch, along with a light evening meal, consisting of soup or vegetables. I've lost 4 kilograms and nearly a clothing size in just over two weeks: I'm really happy with the results!

What is the cost of a slimming treatment?

The price of treatment programmes varies depending on their duration:

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

Can I give a Feed gift card? 🎁

At the moment, it doesn’t seem to me that there is a gift card offer available on the site! Do feel free to check if that has changed since this article was published, as that would be unfortunate!

What are the reviews of Feed? Discover customer feedback!

To determine if Feed is what you're looking for, there's nothing better than carefully reading customer reviews. To help you save time, I've already done this research and I'm summarising the key points for you.

About Feed's Review Tool

On its website, Feed offers its customers the opportunity to leave ratings along with comments. The review platform seems quite neutral, as it provides both positive and negative feedback.

There is a large number of reviews: 3268 reviews to date, which provides 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 truly encouraging! That means more than 7 out of 10 people are very satisfied!

💚 Feed customers loved:

• The flavour of Feed meals, especially the bars,
• The speed of delivery (often within 48 hours),
• The success of their weight loss with the "change your size" programme,
• The time-saving aspect,
• Products tailored for athletes that aid during training sessions.

Examples of Positive Feedback on Feed

❌ They liked it less:

• Drink with a taste that is too bitter for some,
• In summer: chocolate bars can arrive a bit melted,
• Some people did not have a shaker and had to buy one specifically,
• A few people found it hard to digest these bars.

About Trustpilot

As Feed has its own review platform, there are few on Trustpilot: only 38. The average rating of these reviews is 3.5 out of 5:

Overall, the feedback is similar to that on the Feed website. Satisfied customers praise the product's good taste, its value for money, and the effectiveness of the diet.

Unhappy customers had isolated issues, such as problems with delivery or the taste of the bars.

Is Feed a scam?

Feed is a French start-up, which was founded by Anthony Bourbon in 2017. Through the brand's communication, emphasis is placed on the journey of its CEO, who experienced homelessness and, through sheer determination, rebuilt his life to ultimately become a successful entrepreneur.

My Verdict on Feed ⭐⭐⭐⭐

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

Was ordering from the Feed website easy?

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

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

How did my Feed meal delivery go?

With every order, I have been extremely satisfied with the delivery. I have always chosen home delivery with Colissimo, and the parcels have arrived 48 to 72 hours after my order, in excellent condition, which was really great. The fact that the meals reached me quickly was very motivating to start the weight loss plan!

Were the meals 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 dissolve very easily.

Initially, I also ordered a discovery pack with some snacks, which were quite nice. However, I didn't order them again as I found them to be a little pricey 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 programme, I subsequently ordered only the bars.

Source: Instagram (@feed.fr)

Did the weight loss treatment work?

Here is my summary:

• I lost 4 kilograms in 16 days by replacing my breakfast and lunch with a Feed Light bar,
• I felt lighter and didn’t experience any drop in energy,
• In terms of digestion, I wasn't troubled at all. I was also taking a herbal treatment (blonde psyllium powder) to aid digestion, which worked just as well as if I had been having regular meals.
• The only thing that was a bit challenging was having to eat a bar during lunch when dining with others. That's why I sometimes swapped lunch and dinner, as recommended on the Feed website.

✅ To summarise, I am really pleased to have discovered Feed. These little meals often make my life easier. As they can sometimes be a bit pricey and I have quite the sweet tooth, I tend to use them on an occasional basis, mainly when I'm looking for something simple and quick!
