The Soylent Diet Soylent is a powdered meal replacement product, advertised as a "staple meal" that its creator says meets all nutritional requirements for an average adult. Its not so much a diet to loose weight, but more of a convenience for busy people.

What is a FAD diet Recommendations that promise a quick fix Dire warnings of dangers from a single product or regimen Claims that sound too good to be true

Nutritional values Serving size → 148g Carbohydrates204g Protein85g Fatty Acids96g Omega 3 Fatty Acids1.29g Fiber16g Potassium3811mg Sodium1640mg Calcium1330mg Phosphorus1329mg Magnesium513mg Choline1887mg Vitamin C60mg Vitamin B322.9mg Vitamin E22mg Zinc16.7mg Iron18.9mg Vitamin B511mg Manganese2mg

So why choose Soylent? Time - Prepare a day's nutrition in 3 minutes - no need to shop for individual ingredients or plan ahead Money - Spend under $10 per day on food - less than the cost of a takeout meal Nutrition - Eat balanced and wholesome - Get all of the essential nutrients required to fuel the human body The AGTHE guideline 1- To achieve and maintain a healthy weight, be physically active and choose amounts of nutritious food and drinks to meet your energy needs. Due to the synthetic vitamins and minerals it is sufficient to meet this guideline. And Guideline 5 - Care for your food; prepare and store it safely. Easy to do because it comes in a sealed bag!

Why wouldn't you choose Soylent Negative reviews have called it a "punishingly boring, joyless product", "like someone wrung out a dishtowel into a glass" Could you imagine never eating solid food? Only consuming a “pancake-batter- like” substance on a daily basis? The main ingredient in the drink is “maltodextrin”. Maltodextrin is sugar... The AGTHE second guideline is to enjoy a wide variety of nutritious foods from the 5 food groups daily

Soylent's aim Soylent was founded on the need for a simpler food source. After recognising the disproportionate amount of time and money people spent creating nutritionally complete meals, this concoction of what we need was created. “We created Soylent so that people could live their lives with a focus on what is important to them without having to worry about the time, expense and complexity of maintaining a balanced diet.”

So ask yourself.... Is the Soylent diet for you?
