My brother managed to drink only it for a while and it gave him crazy bad poops initially but it balanced out. He’s just the soulless kind of guy it’s meant for, he didn’t miss the taste of real food in the slightest.

I lived on the Soylent bottles for quite a while, but one particularly busy active summer 2021 it landed me in the hospital because it turns out Soylent has no sodium, and if you have no sodium in your body then you end up in the hospital on a saline drip. Lesson learned and I share that lesson with everyone every time this topic comes up.

Important PSA, especially for tech bros like my literal brother. I’ll remember that!
That was my experience with Soylent, but huel works for me.
