I never understood the difficulty argument. It's not like these people would be open to just slamming a glass of Soylent because it's easy.

    Funny you mention that. I absolutely went through a DIY Soylent phase, but I was playing around with the recipe(s) via nutrition tracker apps, aiming to hit targets via "real" foods, not supplements, and aiming for "different" recipes. It's actually not as difficult as you might expect, and I don't even mind eating the same meal for a good chunk of my meals, but it just.... didn't.... work... Maybe it's the lack of chewing?

    What do you mean by "didn't work?"

    I was still "hungry". I was definitely getting calories, macros, etc., but I think it being in liquid form, no chewing, meant that some of the biological processes weren't getting the expected feedback.
