Any meal replacement drinks y’all would recommend? New meds make food less appealing and harder to eat. I want something quick and easy with decent nutrition to chug for breakfast or lunch.

Side note, do y’all hate researching stuff on the slopnet as much as I do? I used to enjoy researching stuff on the internet but now idk what I can trust. My answer is you kind nerdy internet strangers 🙏

      You are the first person I’ve contact with who drinks Soylent.

      Is there truth in the memes?

        Which memes? I’m not familiar. But, the attempts at joking about this product and the Charleton Heston movie are soooooooooo oooooooollllllld.

        I’ve been eating Soylent for several years. I started with the powdered formulation v1.4; I did an experiment where I lived on only Soylent for about 5 months straight - I had no issues, I just got bored of not chewing things. I jumped to the premixed drinks when they arrived. I currently do Soylent for 1-2 meals and regular meals the rest of the day.

        Most recently, I’ve been doing subscription shuffling because the current ownership is allowing the business to wither away because not enough people are doing monthly subscriptions. Right now, if you want pre-mixed drinks, chocolate is your best and maybe only option.

          Something in soy can reduce iodine uptake into the thyroid (or utilisation of iodine in thyroid), thus reducing testosterone levels.

          I learned this outside of the soyboy-memes, which joke about men who consume soy have low t.

        Me too. It seems like they’re down to doing only Chocolate flavor in reliable quantities.
