How many days can I go consuming only soylent?
-
Why? Was this a weight loss thing?
Yes, 375 -> 250
-
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?
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’m sorry, the fuckin what?

Is this shi real
isnt soylent a made up food from a dystopian movie? How do so many people in this thread have experience with soylentI 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.

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?
Multivitamins don't have much, if anything, by way of caloric value.

Yes, that’s what the Soylent is for.

I enjoy the taste of food
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
I enjoy the taste of Soylent, but eating physical food is extremely compelling to me. I did it for months if not years
everyone is gonna think I’m schizo

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

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

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
