I gave up solid food for a week and lived on meal replacement drink Huel

Earlier this year, I stopped eating for a week. I wasn't fasting, or on hunger strike - I was trying out Huel, a far-out food-replacement drink that promises to give you all the nutrients and vitamins you need to stay alive.
You don't need to stop eating food to drink Huel, and many users use it to supplement existing diets when they can't be bothered to cook, or don't have the time to.
But some customers swear by a more extreme 100%, Huel-only diet - so I wanted to put it to the test.
The rules were simple: No food, ever. (Other drinks were okay though, occasionally.) No additives not made by Huel. I could have as much Huel as I wanted, or needed. One week. That's it.
Read on to see how I fared, but here's a spoiler: It really wasn't fun.
