What's up with soylent? How can one subsist on a liquid

Humans are pretty good at adapting to whatever is available. Anecdotally I find it a lot easier to shut down my cravings with the knowledge that I know I have had enough calories to not be starving.

Also if you look up diy soylent it is basically an oat smoothie with some protein powder, a multivitamin and some flavoring. If you think about eating oats with a protein shake in the morning you would think that is a decent meal.

Not so much that your BODY needs solids, but your MIND craves the texture of food. Same way that some people don't crave soda/pop, they crave the carbonation.

Many people don't quit soylent because of taste/boredom, but because they felt extremely isolated because we live in a culture that (usually) connects around food.

It's basically a porridge but with more water in it. There's tons of fiber in it to give your stomach something to work on. It's also meant to be had with a fuckload of water so you've got something in there.

>my brother starting drinking liquid breakfasts as he doesn't have time to prepare anything
"Your brother" needs to seriously rethink his priorities in life.

>Maybe I'm missing something here but, don't you need some solids in a diet to feel satiated?

The thing you're missing is called autism.
The creator was one of those weird nerds who hates food and consumes it only because he'd die otherwise.

I have the Dutch version Joylent, its breddy handy
Just for when I am too lazy for cookin, or for breakfast sometimes
Its actually pretty filling, its like a thick smooth oatmeal milkshake
Probably would get sick of it fast when eating it full time tho
