soylent + coffee, later beer

  I'm thinking on switching to Soylent (or Joylent) do you have any thoughts, pieces of advice etc for a starter ?

    I tried a European version of Soylent: 'Queal' I found the more of it I ate the more messed up my bowels were. I'd feel fine but I'd fart a lot and have weird soft poops. I think my own guts definitely need roughage.

    There are a bunch of them now and they vary wildly in their composition. Determine your diet's target macronutrient percentage (50% carbs, 30% fiber, etc) and try to find one that matches. They also changed from batch to batch, I switched to Joylent from Soylent because they dropped the fiber content. Also, start with one meal replaced a day, and see how you feel. Don't replace all your meals at the very beginning.

      I ordered 5 bags of Joylent to test it. After three days I'm having weird "bowel movements" (weird sounds coming from my stomach) is this normal? Does it become more stable as I get accustomed to it?

        Hmm, I'm not sure, I haven't had those issues. Like I mentioned, it is fairly high in fiber so if your diet was lacking before it would require an adjustment.
