I broke my jaw twice and had to subsist on this stuff for 2 months at a time. It just plain sucks, and after 2 months of not chewing your teeth feel soft, and everything hurts when you do (eventually) chew. Also lost weight really quickly, went from 183 to 127 in 2 months.
- w1ntermute 13y agoI recall reading that it's recommended that you chew gum if you are on Soylent, in order to offset the effects of not chewing.
- kamaal 13y agoBut chewing is just one of the many phases of digesting food. What about swallowing, digesting stuff in the stomach, functioning of liver, pancreas, spleen. Small intestines, large intestines. Surely you can't chew gum to keep these organs functioning.
- w1ntermute 13y agoThose other digestive functions are used/required by Soylent.
- kamaal 13y agoHow? Soylent is all liquid. Pretty much everything I eat is semi solid.
- w1ntermute 13y ago> Soylent is all liquid. Wrong, it's a power mixed in liquid.
- kamaal 13y ago>>It just plain sucks, and after 2 months of not chewing your teeth feel soft I'm wondering what other damage it can do. If you stop eating real food for long times, will your ability to digest(secrete digestive juices etc) real food go away. If that is the case. I don't think soylent is worth anything on earth. That extra an hour that you wish to save by not cooking and eating, can cripple you for life.
