It makes you a trap.
I consumed only this for all 3 meals of the day for 2 months. I cannot predict for a year but my tips:
>Need to buy gum and chew otherwise you will experience lockjaw
>Say goodbye to shitting, I personally had a shit once every 2 days on this and it was always a rock
>You will not BELIEVE how filling a drink can be
Towards the end I struggled drinking 3 a day. I could easily drink 2 or even 1 without feeling any hunger.
>People will ask you about it all the time, and will not necessarily react positively
>If you do actually eat real food, you will cum
I would honestly recommend trying it as an exercise in discipline and also just out of curiosity. Its affects on my diet were the most profound and helped kick a bad relationship with food I had developed.
I am not sure of the ingredients in that soylent brand, but if I remember correctly Jake did not contain soy. Jake takes the majority of its protein from split peas.
You will be malnourished and very sick. That's no meme.
It won't make you trans. That's memetown.
The only reason I want to try it is because I'm poor and it seems healthier than the mcdonald's dollar menu.
Estrogenic trash. Enjoy cancer.
by the end of the year you will realise you've been paying five times the cost for powdered soy and oil, and suffer deep regret.
If it's going to give me cancer decades from now, then I don't really care tbqh. I don't really want to live past 50 anyway.
It's like $1.50 a meal. What can be cheaper than that?
You will have no friends because eating is a big part of socializing
If you go on a date, you'll have to autistically stare at your empty plate while she eats steak (which you'll pay for because of the faggot that you are)
You do not sound like a happy fellow.
It probably is better in terms of vitamins etc.
The Jake had 33% of your guideline amounts in each shake. Look into what the one you want to buy actually contains and in what amounts, and look up reviews as well.
It's got to be somewhat appetising if you're going to drink it for a year, but you can do things with them to mix it up.
>Cool in fridge
>Add ice cubes
>I read someone added cold coffee but never tried it myself
>Mix with a bit of milk, flavoured or no
I really would recommend mixing real food in though, as says eating is also a social event.
I already have no friends and women don't date me because I'm too ugly/autistic, so that's all fine by me.
You would go bankrupt because it's an overpriced shit.
Can you suggest any cheaper food that doesn't require cooking then?
I said overpriced, not expensive.
They're making a huge profit for what it is.
Work out how much a similar home-brew meal replacement would cost you, and you'll wonder why you'd pay a buck fiddy for it.
>home-brew
That would require cooking or preparation of some kind, which I don't have time for.
there is an entire website for diy soylent
some go as far down as $0.30 a day
why can't you cook? are you just a lazy pos?
Nah you're just lazy
Make the time
Jerk off less.
You'll probably manage to get a few extra hours a day that way.
this
you need to consume at least some leafy veggies or something along
your farts willl be absolute destroyers of worlds, and shits will be bricks
i consumed not soylent but similar replacement, for about 2 weeks
I felt fine tho.
This. You can also look in to making your own. Unfortunately part of the price of a "professional" solution is that they are more drinkable. A friend of mine created some home made mixture and it was like drinking watery sand but not unbearable.
It's not very hard to prep, you chuck the right amounts in and drink. You cannot really prepare well in advance though, as it will separate, I also believe that thickening agents you use (like xanthan gum) dissolve over time.
>poor
>living off of expensive protein shakes
I think its a nice idea for non social meals if you are busy. I run a business and am just too busy for lunch. This thing would fit in perfectly for my lunch meal
This stuff is crap marketed to lazy reddit manchildren. I bought a case on Amazon and it didn't satisfy hunger whatsoever. I would drink a 400 cal bottle and be starving again within an hour.
Cooking literally takes me 10x longer than anyone else because I'm autistic and I have to keep stopping and checking if I'm doing it right over and over again. And if a recipe requires doing two things at once, I literally shut down from the stress and can't even finish it.
Post a pic of u shirtless
Emulsifiers like guar or xantham gum help with getting a uniform mix.
You can get a good thick shake texture if done right.
The home made mix I use occasionally is mostly oat flour, and once you know the weights/ratios that you're after, it's no harder than scooping as much as you need in to a blender and flipping a switch.
Listen man, it sounds like you have OCD. You're going to need to break that habbit anyway if you want to live a happier life. Just start cooking really simple things and force yourself not to double check it. Then you will get over your OCD and be a normal person.
>buy stir fry meat and frozen veggies
>throw them in a pan over medium heat
>wait
>healthy food is done in a couple minutes
holy shit you're gordon ramsay now. its literally that easy you retard
It's not ocd, because I don't ever feel like I have to do anything perfectly. It's just the inability to be able to think about more than one thing at a time, and if I'm ever forced into a situation like that my mind just shuts down.
That is what its best use is to be honest.
How do I know each piece of meat is cooked well enough to not make me sick? You can't really know for sure unless you check every single one of them, or overcook them so much that they taste like shit.
I'm massively oversimplifying this but whatever..
Since the late 1800's they knew estrogen was dangerous. The old chimney sweeps used to be very prone to getting testicular cancer due to the estrogenic nature in the soot.
Early-mid 20th century they tried to market estrogen as a beneficial drug, only because is was so incredibly cheap to produce. In the beginning they marketed is as a way to help with conception, but it became clear that estrogen actually had the opposite effect. This era created the DES babies(women born between 1938-1971) who are very prone to getting cervical cancer.
This wasnt good for business, so they cleverly spun the whole thing and began selling estrogen as contraceptives.
There are many things that are estrogenic or mimic estrogen; soy being one of them, and I cant believe people consume this shit. Somehow someone got the world to believe soy is a health food.
Dont do it OP. Even smoke is estrogenic, and yet sometimes we have threads on smoking. I cannot believe this is Veeky Forums. This board is shit.
Meat changes texture when it's cooked.
Poke it with a fork until it feels cooked.
Or use lean mince so you can see that it's fully cooked.
Or become vegan, because it doesn't matter if you undercook vegetables, and tofu tastes just as shit cooked or raw.
People in asian countries have been eating soy-based diets for centuries and they seem perfectly fine.
You only have to check the biggest piece. If the biggest piece is cooked, the rest are too.
I wouldn't trust myself to be able to tell if it's cooked or not. I'd have to use a meat thermometer on every single piece to be ok with eating it.
>and they seem perfectly fine.
Im not sure I understand what this means exactly.
lol
There are "soylent" drinks that do not contain soy, fyi.
China for example, has cancer as the current leading cause of death.
stir it every couple of minutes (>stir fry) and just make sure that there are no visible raw parts of the meat. as longs as the outside is seared, you're fine. if you're nervous, leave it longer than normal. yea it wont be as tender, but you can add spices for flavor. and hot sauce to soften up the texture
How do I know how much hot sauce to add? How do I know what setting I should keep the heat on? These things are way too stressful to think about all at once. I'm also afraid of getting burned by oil, so I can't stay too close to the pan while it's cooking. Trust me, cooking is just not for me.
Awww, fuck, does that mean eating soy could either turn you gay OR Asian?
I'm not sure what would be worse.
Then mince, or just vegetables/grains/beans.
Fuck me, I forgot how annoyingly difficult real autistics are to deal with compared to self diagnosed Internet spacktards.
I'm not even sure if you're OP or just baiting but
>grow up
10/10 made me reply
holy fuck dude
Why would anyone want to? Live is for the most part miserable, and it only gets worse the older you get.
*life is
Dude, if you cant see the times of challenges and struggles in life as times of growth and learning and a chance to become better/stronger, then I dont know what else to tell ya
Life is only miserable for me sometimes. I'm lucky I guess.
God your a fucking pussy.
There is no soy in soylent you dumb incel.
>implying soy is the only thing dangerous/cancerous in those death drinks
Enjoy death.
You don't become better or stronger as you age, it's the complete opposite. That's just basic biology.
this stuff sounds interesting. which brands are recommended? id drink these while also eating my regular food.
