Yesterday I started drinking soylent.

The recipe hasn’t been completely aligned with what Rob Rhinehart wrote about.  I’m using the crude measurements my younger brother wrote on a sheet of paper inside his box of ingredients.  He has been drinking Soylent for several months.

Today’s breakfast was a cup of Soylent, some coffee, and a lot of water.  Then I went to the gym with a bottle containing some powdered Soylent and consumed it throughout the workout.  It was a similar experience to working out with a bottle of just protein powder, but the taste is unique and makes me look forward to taking a swig more than the typical temptation of “Vanilla Ice Cream” flavored whey.

I’m treating Soylent as a supplement to several light meals.  I drink the daily dosage at a dilute concentration so I feel full and hydrated throughout the day. I can’t eat 21 good meals a week, but I can probably manage 10-15.  Eating half of my meals conventionally hedges against making a mistake in the recipe.  Accurate preparation takes practice, and if I make and consume a full day’s worth of erroneously measured Soylent, I could overdose.

By the time my shipment arrives in the mail, I should be ready to switch to 100% Soylent.
