I've given up and have been eating yfood (meal in powder form, EU soylent equivalent) for the last 9 months.
The better option amongst many bad options, is how I rationalize my choice.
I did Soylent for a year or so and have zero regrets. I felt better, lost weight and probably saved some money. I ate it for most meals but would probably make dinner for myself about half the time just for some variety. Hope you have a good experience with it!
This is so funny to me because I'd rather fast than take calories from something like Soylent. I don't think the stuff itself is silly, or that you are- sometimes people are underweight or can't have solid food and any source of extra calories can help. But using it to lose weight, instead of to supplement? Instead of just eating less, but of things you like?
Autistic fella who's very texture sensitive here. Why have I never considered that myself? That sounds heaps handy for giving me healthier meal choices.
Give it a try. There's different brands. I learned that I quite prefer those with milk based protein, and dislike those with pea based protein.
