> Soylent, What already existed: SlimFast
When you're talking about meal replacement the actual ingredients matter a lot. Slimfast has 4x the sugar of Soylent and only half the fat.
Consuming ~2000cal of Slimfast would mean ingesting 180g sugar! That can not serve as a replacement for 100% of your meals.
Then there's the issue of artificial sweeteners, missing nutrients in Slimfast, etc.
- ghostbrainalpha 9y agoI went on a 100% Slimfast diet 5 years ago. After 3 days I wanted to die. I quit, I felt horrible, and I only lost about 2 pounds. I went on a 100% Soylent died this year for 1 month. I honestly never felt better. I lost 8 pounds. It was difficult, mostly because I missed my usual McDonald's breakfast, but it was definitely sustainable permanently. I do think Slimfast needs to try and buy Soylent or they will be gone in 15 years. They do have similarity, but to not respect the innovation of the Soylent Team is beyond fucked up. This article belongs on Buzzfeed, not the Washington post.
