I have been using Soylent as my primary source of nutrition since November. I will generally have around 3 non-Soylent meals a week. Part of the reason I started Soylent was for financial considerations, as I am a graduate student on a relatively low-paying stipend. In terms of how I view food, I am less willing to go off Soylent for foods that I do not enjoy considerably. Whereas before I would eat at Subway or McDonalds on a weekly basis, since starting Soylent I haven't eaten fast food in months. On the other hand, I order a nice greasy pizza from a local pizzeria every couple of weeks, which is more frequent than before. I never really cooked before, and Soylent is considerably cheaper than eating out for every meal, so I have more food money to spend on things I genuinely enjoy. As Rob says in this article, I find myself able to separate the feeling of hunger from the desire to enjoy food. When I have specific cravings or when a meal is part of social interactions, I have no qualms about eating "real" food. But when I'm alone and hungry for nothing in particular, why would I eat something that's more expensive and less healthy than the Soylent I already have sitting in my fridge?
