Alright /pol, so what’s the verdict on Soylent?


To be clear, I am not looking at this as a complete meal replacement. Fuck that shit.


Due to work schedule though, I been eating way too much fast food. So I have decided to cut fast food from my diet. Due to its convenience factor I was looking into Soylent…

I heard you have to be careful cause its soy based. I am also looking at starting a pretty strenuous work out regiment. So, I am looking at around 5-7 replaced meals a week supplemented with protein and fresh produce for real meals. Thoughts?

I have perfected my cooking method. Takes very little time and doesnt need me constantly watching over it. i can shitpost/play games without worrying about burning my pan and the food tastes great. I make meals with about 20% meat 70% green veggies 10% starchy veggies.

What i do is i heat the pan up medium to high heat then i add the meat for about 2 minutes each side to brown it. Then i add my veggies on top of the meat and a table spoon or 2 of water then immediatly put a lid on the pan to trap in the steam. Set heat to low-medium. Then go back to shitposting for 10-20 minutes. Put meat and veggies in a bowl, poor in a bit of the water which has become a broth with veggie nutrients and fat from the meat.
Add salt and pepper to taste.

>>132158643

It's fine, having it once a day myself instead of a meal. Only thing to look out for is it is not filling whatsoever, so you have to be more careful you don't overeat on your other meals.

the most blue-pilled thing imaginable next to eating fast food.
it's named after soylent green, which is literally a work of dystopian fiction.
the creator (actual autist, btw) took a work of dystopian fiction as ADVICE.
apart from that, im pretty sure it's very estrogenic from all the GMO soy they use to make these fucking things.
"FOOD BAR"
it's the most autistic thing ive ever fucking seen.
its popularity is a byproduct of food hypercommercialization which appeals to retards like you who have forgotten what real food is.
you cant "improve" food. eating plants is not "primitive" as the founder has said himself.

ok seriously though no more memeing. Just make some salads at least.
You can make them before work and eat them throughout the day.
Add sweet potatos, cook them at home till they are soft then eat them at work.
Add cottage cheese.
Add small chunks of meat previously cooked.
Etc. salads can be very filling and taste really good just go with that.

To be fair soy gets memed the most because of the abhorrent food processing techniques it goes through.

I would probably let my kid eat a bit of naturally grown unprocessed soy beans one in a while but would never let them eat soy products like tofu.

Soylient, despite the name, doesn't contain soy. It was a stupid marketing decision when they adopted the name but tech guys love pop culture references, especially from scifi.

Appreciate a real answer actually. I guess the all caps SERIOUS DISCUSSION doesn't do the trick anymore
>>
Incomplete food. Plus, it's all supplements. Body processes those sorts of ingredients differently from "real" food.

Missing a lot of micronutrients and compounds and bacteria. Also some, nutrients in Soylent cancel each other out.

Won't keep you healthy like real food. It'd be fine for the short term. But you won't achieve healthy longevity on this product.

All of the above is my educated opinion only.
>>
>>132158643
Meal prepping isn't hard, it just takes a couple hours a week. There are some very easy to prepare, macro dense foods that are cheap. Oats are a great source of carbs, fat free yogurt has a fuckton of protein per serving, peanut butter has some good fat calories, whole grain bread, etc. All of those foods are pretty cheap. I work 10 hour shifts and usually have some cheese and a peanut butter sammich for lunch then a protein shake and fig wheat bars as a snack, then have my bigger meals before and after work. My schedule fucking sucks and my job is physically demanding, yet I'm still managing gains.

If you want the easiest thing possible, what my roommate who's fucking yoked does is make Tupperware bowls (glass or stainless steel unless you want estrogen in your food) full of oats, whey, berries, yogurt, peanut butter, and probably some other good shit. He just puts some of that crap in a smaller container for when he's out and about.

You don't have to compromise gains for work, you just have to be smart about it and put in the preparation work. If you cannot, then you don't deserve gains.

>Plus, it's all supplements. Body processes those sorts of ingredients differently from "real" food.

AFAIK this is the "vitamin" scam of decades ago. You piss out 99% of vitamins you can buy, because the body doesn't absorb them, because they're just free floating, it doesn't bind right.

Only people with legitimate deficiencies need extra vitamins and then in differently formulated and stronger doses.

> Missing a lot of micronutrients and compounds and bacteria.

And this gels with a lot of things I read for weight loss. All the "health" products are just marketing, with little evidence they work. The evidence they use is often like "X compound exists in vegetables, eating these vegetables is proven healthy by study Z, therefore eating our product must give that result", with no actual research to whether that is the case.

Seems like there is no substitute for eating a varied diet, for most people that means more greens, and less calories overall. Simple, perennial suggestion that people don't want to accept because they'd rather eat candy, drink soda and have more meat.

when i can't sit down and have a proper meal on my own time, i just eat an apple and/or banana or 2.
i just think eating should be done at a table, without a rush, with people you like. laughing during a meal actually helps digestion. communal eating was very important for literally every generation apart from maybe the last 2.
it's really terrifying how successfully the world, and americans especially have been jewed.

We are healthy and fit.
Why ?
We eat food, not industrial products full of crap.

You sound like one of those stupid unhealthy retards who sees food as something to always be enjoyed instead of merely a necessity. Your perspective on eating needs to change and you should stick to simple staples for most "meals", as in enough food for what you're doing not a giant combo full of shit with no vegetables or fiber, in line with your dietary needs while preparing meals from scratch when you have the time and stretching it out a few days. "Fast food" is not real food is garbage for morons and the children of lazy parents and the same applies to the vast majority of restaurants out there unless they're employing legitimate menus made form scratch which most people rarely ever go to.

It's for brain dead hipster faggots. All marketing over actual science.

This Soylent shit is some whack job bullshit artist who's got a bunch of dollars from greedy shyster VC fucks and sucked in a bunch of deadhead gullible left-wing SF tech media to write about it.

They have changed the recipe numerous times because they're just pulling it out of their ass. Last thing I heard was that they were doing a recall on lots of product because of contamination only found after customers started getting sick (like they deserve). Great quality control there!

There are proper scientifically formulated liquid feeds that have been available for years for people who can't eat solid foods for various medical reasons.

If you can't find the time to eat properly then you need some serious psychological help.

>>
>>132158643

Me and my body tried this shit on and off for over a year. Idea was perfect, but it is shit-tier ingrediants, plus I am in my 30s so my system cannot handle change in diet liek that, he was younger so he could. My last try was Coffiest. I figured it woudl taste better, so I coudl manage it. It rekt me man. My piss smelled like 1 week fermented coffee grounds, and that was the most pleasant side-effect. I couldn't shit properly. I was constipated, then I would have little bits of liquid shit that smelled awful. My stomach turned. I was farting. Just paid money to torture myself basically. Maybe I'd give it one more try if I became a bachelor somehow, because I would be lazy as fuck about food.

>>132158643
>pros
You get protein and don't skip out on some minerals like magnesium and iodine that NEETs eating at McDonalds every day might miss.

>cons
Soy protein isolate is a phytoestrogen, depending on your own endocrine health this can be good or bad.

>conclusion
I've had some and it's pretty good, my test levels haven't been affected by anything in the last 2 months and that included Soylent. But this is in no way scientific evidence, so form your own conclusions.
