How many days can I go consuming only soylent? (lemmy.ml)

I once drank soylent before going partying, and I didn't have to use the bathroom at all.

That was really good because taking off my outfit to use the bathroom sucks.

Building upon that, if I just kept drinking soylent, I could party non-stop without bathroom breaks.

So how many days can my digestive system, and body, handle being on a soylent only diet?

Will my guts atrophy?

I did about two years on Soylent no overt issues. It made eating simple, and I didn't gain any weight, but didn't lose any weight either. Guts will not atrophy

Agreed on the pooping reduction.

I wouldn't recommend Soylent to anyone now, not because it is bad (it's better then the Standard American Diet), but because I've found better ways to manage food and health (and even less pooping heh)

ohh, after the pandemic kicked off I stopped doing Soylent (on which i developed high blood pressure, heh), and started a ketogenic protocol. Since then I've moved over to a zero carbohydrate protocol (carnivore).

Carnivore is a super-clean version of keto, very easy to follow, hard to make mistakes on, I've seen great results. I poop about once every two days - and its never urgent, I never fart. If your trying to minimize pooping you can't do much better.

I moderate !carnivore@lemm.ee and !ketogenic@dubvee.org.

Here are my biomarkers after 6 months of carnivore: https://hackertalks.com/post/6749910
