Redpill me on S O Y L E N T

go on. Can this act as a genuine meal replacement and provide all/most the nutritional and caloric intake I need?
I seriously hate eating. It is so time consuming and boring, the idea of a drink/pill that could replace eating sounds amazing.

It can't replace a proper nutrition.
You need vitamins, metal ions, essential amino acids and tons of other stuff.

It claims to provide all the essential nutrients.

I also hate eating. It fucking sucks. If I never had to eat again, I'd take that pill in a second.

Although it DOES provide some nutrition, it doesn't provide enough for critical thinking. There is a reason why numales all act submissive and shit, they're all feminized zombies with empty souls.

I feel like the six million dollar man. My physique has noticeably improved, my skin is clearer, my teeth whiter, my hair thicker and my dandruff gone. My resting heart rate is lower, I haven't felt the least bit sickly, rare for me this time of year. I've had a common skin condition called Keratosis Pilaris since birth. That was gone by day 9. I used to run less than a mile at the gym, now I can run 7. I have more energy than I know what to do with. On day 4 I caught myself balancing on the curb and jumping on and off the sidewalk when crossing the street like I used to do when I was a kid. People gave me strange looks but I just smiled back. Even my scars look better.

My mental performance is also higher. My inbox and to-do list quickly emptied. I 'get' new concepts in my reading faster than before and can read my textbooks twice as long without mental fatigue. I read a book on Number Theory in one sitting, a Differential Geometry book in a weekend, filling up a notebook in the process. Mathematical notation that used to look obtuse is now beautiful. My working memory is noticeably better. I can grasp larger software projects and longer and more complex scientific papers more effectively. My awareness is higher. I find music more enjoyable. I notice beauty and art around me that I never did before. The people around me seem sluggish. There are fewer 'ums' and pauses in my spoken sentences. My reflexes are improved. I walk faster, feel lighter on my feet, spend less time analyzing and performing basic tasks and rely on my phone less for navigation. I sleep better, wake up more refreshed and alert and never feel drowsy during the day. I still drink coffee occasionally, but I no longer need it, which is nice.

Truth and proper /sci/ answer is that no one knows for sure, because its not as if there has been a large double blind study feeding people nothing but onions.

You probably can live off it for quite a bit because humans are quite resilient. (a healthy fat person could go for months on just water fasting + vitamins/electolytes)

My suspicion is that there may be substances in the world which may not be "nutritional" per se, but be helpful in other ways and which we may not know about. Think anti-oxidants, flavonoids etc. These may not be necessary in the sense of running out of calories if you don't get then, but may help with stuff, which in the long run may effect cancer rates etc. I am quite a bit suspicious of the carb and added sugars content since based on everything I have read carbs and especially sugar = pretty naughty.

Compare and contrast with substances like curcumin, which we have no idea what it actually does, but it seems to be vaguely "anti-inflammatory" and help regulate insulin. None of those functions may be "nutritional" or have anything to do with "calories", but may explain why Indians have, say, the lowest rate of Alzheimer in the world.

Similar stuff about substances in green tea, fish oils etc. And fuck if we know what most of them do, but when you see 90y olds in Ikaria or Okinawa having the health/mobility of 70y Americans you suspect that there may also be substanes in one's diet with "mechanical" properties (ie, triggering autophagy? protecting about degenerative effects?) that go beyond nutrition.

Best thing. Is to just try to copy the eating habits of those that live healthy. Duh. So. Lots of Fish and no sugars I guess.

Okay to supplement meals especially for convenience. But to completely replace all your meals? No. I've tried. Too boring and you don't feel as full.

[Anonymous No.11104985]

A CEO (in the "health" and "supplements" industry no less), promoting his own product? Nowai!

More likely, he got a lot of benefits just due to having stopped eating junk food.

If you subsist on red bull, mars bars and pizzas then yes, basedent is probably "healthy' in comparison. But then again, so would probably have been eating nothing but potatoes & multivitamins.

[Anonymous No.11104986]

>>11104971
>too boring
What could possibly be more boring than having to eat food?
But yes, I will likely use it as a meal-supplement, until there are studies saying it is sufficiently healthy to act as a meal-replacement entirely.

[Anonymous No.11104989]

>>11104964
This.

It's why you hear a shit ton of people recommend "whole foods". Some of the things that we know of, but are not obvious, is that some substances help absorb some other ones. So they are not directly helping you, but they are helping those that ARE directly helping you, to put it in retarded terms because I can't speak properly.

Go watch Vitamania, a documentury on micro nutrients made by the guy from the Veritasium channel. Long story short, we have no idea how to make proper onions yet because we don't know what substances are needed in which amounts yet. Protein/carb/fats is pretty clear, some of the vitamins and minerals are a bit less clear, and "other" is a complete mystery still.

All biotic matter -- animal and vegetable --contains traces of the life essence. The life essence comes in two forms: light, and dark. Light essence is necessary to health, long life, a sharp mind and good moral character, and at high concentrations can confer (seemingly) superhuman abilities. Dark essence is the essence of illness and death, caused by and feeding into the wickedness of Man, Animal, and, more recently, Machine.

The earthy aspect of Man and Animal is thoroughly tainted with the darkness of the flesh. This must not be consumed.

The earthly aspect of a plant is a mixture of light and dark. Through careful preparation the darkness can be removed, but some is inevitably absorbed by the preparer. Therefore it is recommended to have all harvesting, cutting and cooking done by a servant.

May your steps be wise and light, and your life everlasting.

Okay.
It's CRAP. You should not consume it, ever.

If you must replace real food with something, then go find a military surplus store and buy up a bunch of MREs. At least those were real food at some point.

The fatty acid composition is probably not ideal. Its better to have lots of omega 3 and also some short chain in the mix. And there are some omega 3 acids that are only in fish and not in canola. There is also some evidence that furanic fatty acids are beneficial, which are also in fish. There is some evidence that dietary sources of silicon are beneficial for skin bone and hair health and silicon is sometimes considered an essential element. There are also a lot of things in natural food that are not essential nutrients (absoluely necessary for survival) but probably beneficial, like antioxidant flavonoids, lycopene, zeaxanthin, lutein, sulfur compounds in garlic and phenolic compounds in olive oil.

TL;DR this is probably not as good as a good natural diet
