    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?

      Pretty long. I went about a year on mostly soylent. The newer formulations are a lot easier on the digestive system.

      You still need to consume water and you're still going to poop, just not as much.

        You still need to use the bathroom eventually even with Soylent. Honestly I found after a couple weeks only doing Soylent wrecked my guts.

        Honestly Huel is a lot easier on the tummy, give that a try for a few days and see how well you adjust.

            Big Soylent fan here, firstly, Soylent isn't designed as a 100% meal replacement, or at least it isn't approved as such.

            That being said, the inventor claimed in an interview that he had gone for a month on pure Soylent, and there have been many people who make similar claims.

            Stay hydrated, Soylent does make you poop, it's just delayed because of the high fiber. Trust me, try it for a few days straight, you're colon will get cleaned out lol.

            Make sure you drink lots of water, that goes for any diet, (lots of people are mildly dehydrated without realizing it.)

              If you take a multivitamin, I don’t see why you couldn’t live off of it indefinitely. It does probably have enough vitamins for you anyway. Is that really a life worth living?

                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.

                  I did ~1.5 years of only Soylent, then transitioned into 2/3 meals per day being Soylent, which I've done for the last ~6-7yrs.

                  I'm the healthiest I've ever been, but it does require discipline, exercise and attention like anything else. Calories are calories and if you consume more than you burn, you'll poop a lot and gain weight. If you drink at a significant deficit (my 1.5years was at 1200kcal/day) you will poop once or twice a week and it will take a few months of your body getting used to it for it to be more than liquid.

                    Just don't have the green one. Tastes too much like bacon.

                          At least one company made a soylent, it's just not soylent green. Not sure if it contains soy or lentils.

                            I believe i found it

                            Looks like someone saw the movie and got mad because “that’s not how capitalism would do it” and then proceeded to sell overpriced astronaut food.

                              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.

                                it's a real meal replacement product named after the movie, it was a big trend in the tech crowd like 10 years ago. it's supposed to be a blend of all the nutrients you need in drink/powder form, people would try living off of it.

                                      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.

                                        Is this in preparation for Lemmy's 3 day no poop challenge in July?

                                          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.
