Powdered food manufacturer Huel offered £35,000 to anyone prepared to go without solid food for an entire year in a bid to discover the effects of a non-traditional food diet.
The successful candidate would be able to continue with their current work or family commitments and will be required only to undertake daily video calls with Huel’s monitoring team.
They would also need to visit Huel headquarters in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire weekly for medical assessments and perform 30 minutes of daily physical activity.
The exercise plan will be set by Huel in order to study the effects of the Huel diet. Applicants must have a healthy body mass index in order to be considered.
Huel need to be able to trust candidates to tell the truth so cheaters need not apply, the firm’s founder Julian Hearn said.
Huel is made from vegan protein (rice and pea), oats, flaxseed, sunflower lecithin, MCT from coconut, and a vitamin and mineral blend.
