How many days can I go consuming only soylent?

I enjoy the taste of food but getting all your nutritional needs met with a drink is extremely compelling to me. I did it for months if not years.

Are you a robot perchance? Bro seriously are you fucking with me or smtn. What do you mean you drank so much soylent you lost track of how long you drank it. And it’s like some sort of drug that you just go on and off of?
Like if I was talking about eating pasta and I described it as

everyone is gonna think I’m schizo

Is this in preparation for Lemmy's 3 day no poop challenge in July?
I thought you had to eat beans

Yes, 375 -> 250
Wow, nice. A guy in my country did it eating potatoes. Nothing else. https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/health/diet/andrew-taylor-eats-nothing-but-potatoes-for-a-year-to-cure-his-food-addiction/news-story/41d8e6612679985fc9bf62e4b970ef15

There's nothing magic about Soylent for weight loss. It's a simple equation of calories in and calories out. The advantages that Soylent offered me was convenience for counting said calories, convenience for meal prep, and being reasonably certain my body was getting a decent distribution of micronutrients

I'm in the same boat as you. I researched it a bit. Yes, Soylent Green is a movie. It is a meal replacement product made up of human remains. The movie takes place in 2022. The real Soylent is not human remains (or is it?
).I had no idea meal replacements were so popular.
Honestly it's not even that popular, at least not relative to slim-fast in the 90s

I’m sorry, the fuckin what?

Yeah I saw that when I tried looking for it when I commented a few minutes ago - so sad!!

Absolutely loved that novel (novella?). The descriptive language really captures a lot of the theme, from the shipyard chained together into a shanty town to the description of Sols oven being modified to different energy sources as societies resources dwindled
Would absolutely recommend it, especially if you enjoyed soylent green

I did it for quite some time. I think close to 1.5 years. I bought a metric ton of it during Covid and I never ever got sick of drinking it. To me it’s like drinking water and my brain just adapted to it. I did get tired of people asking me if I was tired of drinking Soylent. That was legitimately nonstop.
No shit people were asking if you were tired of drinking soylent. To the average person it sounds damn near psychopathic if you get all your nutritional needs from a drink. Lock in bro

I once drank soylent before going partying, and I didn't have to use the bathroom at all.
That was really good because taking off my outfit to use the bathroom sucks.
Building upon that, if I just kept drinking soylent, could I party non-stop without bathroom breaks-
So how many days can my digestive system, and body, handle being on a soylent only diet?
Will my guts atrophy?
Wait soylent is real? It's it green?

I did about two years on Soylent no overt issues. It made eating simple, and I didn't gain any weight, but didn't lose any weight either.
Well don't leave us hanging

Yes, that’s what the Soylent is for.
The definition of soylent is that it contains all nutrients you need. What's the multivitamin pill for?
-

ohh, after the pandemic kicked off I stopped doing Soylent (on which i developed high blood pressure, heh), and started a ketogenic protocol. Since then I've moved over to a zero carbohydrate protocol (carnivore).
Carnivore is a super-clean version of keto, very easy to follow, hard to make mistakes on, I've seen great results. I poop about once every two days - and its never urgent, I never fart. If your trying to minimize pooping you can't do much better.
I moderate [email protected] and [email protected].

In case you need more vitamins than are in Soylent. Soylent is a real world product, and it’s not right for everyone. If you’re going to do a drastic diet change like this, you really should consult a doctor first, not Lemmy.

I think the definition is a food product made from a combination of soy and lentils. Some variations are "nutritionally complete" others are not.
