Or consider nature's meal replacements: milk and fruit juice. Believe it or not, this would be less hypoglycemic-prone than Soylent, since fructose is less insulinogenic than starch, and have a better micronutrient profile. Check out the work of Ray Peat if interested in learning more.
- kevinfc 10y agoI'm no where near an expert on the subject, But I have heard convincing arguments[1] that fructose is very bad for you (especially when concentrated in a fruit drink). [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBnniua6-oM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBnniua6-oM
- ZeroFries 10y agoI'm not a biochemistry expert either, so I have to defer to the arguments of others. I find Ray Peat more convincing than Lustig. It also makes sense to me that fructose, especially from fruit, is incredibly healthy to humans, since pretty much every ape gets a good chunk of their calories from fruit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXqoAhZtVmg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXqoAhZtVmg
- TeMPOraL 10y agoWait what? How on Earth can milk and fruit juice cover all your nutritional needs, micronutrients and all?
- ZeroFries 10y agoYou might come up short on a few of the nutrients, but an egg or two, and some liver and oysters once a week cover the rest. It surprised me, too, how nutrient dense milk and orange juice are.
