Does anyone know if Soylent actually makes you feel full / satisfied after consuming it? Would the effect be similar to eating a bowl of soup or something? I recall many years ago I used to get something called Instant Breakfast, but I still needed an apple or a couple slices of toast to feel like I actually ate something (might be that psychologically, I need the recent memory of chewing action in order to be convinced that I actually just ate a meal).
On a related note, for those that are looking at this class of products due to lack of time / skills to cook at home, would anyone be interested in my list of "bachelor chow" recipes? Basically, this includes anything that can be easily prepared (minimal active preparation time, even if it has to cook all day in a slow cooker), along with the ability to be good leftovers for multiple days. Examples include chicken fried rice, ham/noodle/cheese casserole, "skillet" breakfasts, beef stew, etc.
- ripter 13y agoI've been on a DIY soylent (diy.soylent.me) for over a month now and I feel full. I don't feel stuffed, I'm just not hungry anymore.
- alanctgardner2 13y agoThe stuff that I've mixed up (not real Soylent, but from the HackerSchool recipe) has a significant amount of flour, which makes it very thick. The way I mix it it's more like a milkshake, and it feels very hearty. Whether or not I get hungry after mostly depends on how bored I am - I would have snacked anyways.
- jrpt 13y agoYes, I'd read your bachelor chow recipes. I have a similar question about it. Drinks go super fast into the blood stream. You could try combining it with some celery. I guess that'd work for someone who really, really doesn't want to make meals: use Soylent and celery.
