Anyone try Soylent?

Not the green stuff made of people, the powdered meal replacement? It's under $2 a meal and supposedly gives you everything you need.

Looks impressive. Not sure if I'd want to live off it too long though.

Just the NAME alone screams "run like a mo-fo" to me...

Didn't clicky, product name failure (IMO).

Interested in what folks have to say about it though, thanks for posting it up.

-We don't have too many meal replacement type stuff put back, but do have some protein powders for shakes / add to stuff.

Probably the stuff China was putting in the pet food that caused so many animals to get sick/die.

A buddy of mine list a bunch of weight with it. He seemed to be doing ok energy wise.

Looks gross. I know a lot of emergency and disaster relief foods are based on peanut butter, I think that's a much better choice.

I'd bet it smells like old people.

Lierre Keith in her book 'The Vegetarian Myth' makes a compelling case for running like hell from soy products.

I actually heard about it here on NWFA a couple years ago. Guy said it was great and he lost like 40 pounds. I thought "I would like to lose 40 pounds" so I bought like $200 worth of the stuff to try.

Yeah... not for me. I tried it. The mixed up powder stuff tastes like a combination of finely ground moldy cardboard with just a hint of gym socks...

An interesting product line with a misfortunate name BUT if a guy lost 40 lbs eating it, well..

I'm always looking for that proven "fat buster" easy peasy diet plan to loose 20#s but alas the best way is to drop your fork when you finish the smal portions on the plate.

The saying "my fork made me fat is true in 50% of the people, the other 50% used spoons....

I guess in hindsight I can see how a guy eating this stuff would lose 40 pounds..... I mean it would be all I could do to choke down enough of it to keep upright.

See? It taste just like old people smell.

I think it would be easier to loose 40 lbs by just not eating.......

M

...also by shutting off the TV and getting your arse up off the couch.

I really struggle with my weight. I eat no sugar, very few carbs and keep it to around 1800-2200 calories a day. I am 6' and 210 pounds so that is a pretty minimal intake for someone my size.

My body is very efficient. For instance I ate a very small traditional thanksgiving dinner with my family which included a half a piece of pie. No seconds on anything and my plate was far from full..... I gained 8 pounds. That is typical and why I have to seriously control what I put in my mouth.

I go through cycles where I creep up to 240 ish and then lose till I am back 190-200. Its taken me a year to get from 240 down to 210 and I have been stuck around that for 6 months of that eating a tiny fraction of what most folks do.

The thing is I was once up around 270 in my early 20's and resolved I would not ever get back there. I cant maintain a weight so this cycle up and down seems to be the best I can do. My dad is 350, my mom 250 and 5 foot nothing... My brothers are all heavy....

I get really sick of skinny people telling me how easy it is to be skinny.... They have no idea the sacrifices I make to just be moderately obese instead of morbidly obese. If I ate "good" like they do I would weigh 300+ pounds.

It's that "FREE YOU BODY" part. Free your body, read: "Intestinal Tract" of everything to the point of prepped for a colonoscopy.....

Had this vegan gal I know whip up a tasty dip for crackers or veggies and give me a pint of it. Main ingredient was Tofu. Tasted pretty good! It "Freed" ME up real good though.
