I loved that shit, saves me so much more time to do things I enjoy. But it’s expensive, so I don’t have it any more.
Eating is a chore to get nutrients into my body, and I often forget to eat for large periods. A quick drink is so much better (except during winter when it’s cold).
This is not meant to be a counter, I’m curious: have you? Cause I haven’t, and I’ve always wondered who the target audience for that stuff is. Everybody I know thinks it’s stupid, and I’ll at most use drinkable food for health reasons (as in, if they have really sore teeth and can’t chew or sth like that, or can’t keep solids down) or if they’ve misplanned and can’t have real food (like between two appointments).
I used to make my own soylent because it was dirt cheap and I couldn’t be bothered to spend all that time in the kitchen every day. I still cooked once a week, did meal prep and whatnot, but breakfast would be a carrot, lunch would be a nap and dinner would be a cold oaty soylent most weeknights. I just enjoyed not cooking and cleaning more than I enjoyed food. And because it was diy, I could make the soylent powder the way I liked it.
that’s where i’m at, too, but i’ve known a few people who view their body’s need for nutrition as an impediment to their ability to be productive. they’re very sad people…
I mean, I sometimes view nutrition as an impediment to my bed rotting, but that’s because I have depression
Also, I would kinda like to be able to skip lunch, because meal prepping is tough when you work til 0930 and takeout add up, cost wise
Did you ever find anything that tasted like food and wasn’t just sugar or protein powder for weight gain? I never did and dirty bulking makes me feel gross but adding the things to protein supplements to make them more foodlike increases volume so much and then I’d just end up with worse versions of regular food.
Hm, if we’re talking protein shake, I like to buy unflavoured pea or soy protein powder then mix with soy or oat milk and blend in fruit, nut butters, frozen berries.
I rely pretty heavily on meal replacement shakes (not Soylent; they taste like ass, and not the good kind). It’s part of what allows me to actually enjoy solid food. I’m sure you can imagine that force feeding yourself something that you normally enjoy would quickly make you form negative associations with that food.
i mean. have you encountered soylent culture? white people get marketed to like eating sucks and all your nutrients should come in a tube

I tried it back when I was trying to gain weight. The powdered Soylent was absolutely awful.

Same here but add raw oats in as well
Not really. I ended up following the P90X diet which basically meant I was eating 5 full meals a day.
