adventures in soylent: year 1
so now I consume 3 boxes (36 bottles) / month.
during the work week, my daily intake is generally 2 or 3 bottles + a packaged frozen meal (usually from trader joe) + some small snack.
I rarely cook at all any more, and don't eat dinners at home.
I sometimes cook on weekends, but more often go out to eat.
my weight is generally stable, my digestion ( Read more... ) -

adventures with soylent day 66
so I tried 100% soylent (3 bottles/day) this week.
I lasted 2 days.
this morning's bottle was pretty unpalatable.
I've been adding some LorAnn "Flavor Fountain" flavors (1 teaspoon/bottle). I've tried lime and orange so far, and have other fruit flavors to experiment with. They help some.
I have a good backlog of package lunches, because I went to ( Read more... ) -
day 24
2 bottles /day during the week + 1 at some point during the weekend seems to be steady state.
I've been having sleep problems & headaches that correlate with (tj strawberry) kefir usage. the pattern was so similar to my caffeine reaction I was perplexed for a while, because I've been pretty strict about caffeine lately. weird effect, and I didn't ( Read more... ) -
soylent day 14
so I had a couple of bottles over the weekend for breakfast.
2/day during the work week seems to be a good pattern. I think I did better this week with groceries. I did get some kefir in addition to the kimchi in an effort to not destroy my gut by getting 1/2 my calories from maltodextrin.
soylent + orange metamucil is tasty, but if I wanted to shake ( Read more... ) -
adventures with soylent: day 10
so the problem with my order was just that they hadn't sent the shipping notice - it arrived yesterday.
I'm noticing some changes in body odor. possibly unpleasant, though maybe just different.
I'm not sleeping as well this week, so am not as alert mentally.
I definitely need more fiber. people like adding metamucil or citrucel to soylent just for ( Read more... ) -
adventures in soylent, day 8
well, my initial order I placed on sunday & received wednesday, so I placed my subscription order friday, expecting to receive the delivery today or tomorrow, but it hasn't shipped yet. at 2 bottles/day, I have enough for today & tomorrow, but I bought the week's groceries planning on it, so will have to replan if it doesn't arrive tomorrow.

adventures with soylent: day 3
it's more filling than a usual meal. if you want to reduce intake, that might help.
it doesn't have any stink bugs in it (unlike the rice & beans I brought from home - it must have snuck in while cooking. ewww).
I haven't cooked dinner after work.
I've settled into 2 bottles a day, and am liking the net effect enough to set up a monthly subscription ( Read more... ) -
Adventures with soylent: day 1
intake: 2 bottles of soylent, one frozen package meal (spicy!)
I did not eat the homemade rice & beans I'd brought to work.
It did replace desperate hungry snacking, which tends to junk food and candy, so that's a win.
Also win: I don't have eat before I'm hungry just because I'm at a time/place where eating is more convenient than it will be later.
I ( Read more... )
