Soylent is full of sugar (which will cause your insulin levels to spike) and has crappy fat in it from stuff like canola oil. It's objectively a terribly unhealthy beverage.
A much better alternative is Orgain, which uses monkfruit for sweetener (which won't affect your insulin if you are diabetic), and has a bunch of vegetables in it, plus protein from peas.
- m463 6y agoI had a subscription for soylent for years. I remember someone asking me if I could go 100%. I said NO WAY. maybe 10% of your diet, more is not great. I treated it as a snack replacement because -- hey, it's better than reaching for something really bad, right? In the end I think it IS a snack. It was better than eating donuts, or hotdogs all day, but is only by a matter of degree. It is a highly processed food, which is not great. I see it a little like the emergency room - it will prevent you from dying today. But it will not help you with a healthy and thriving lifestyle.
