My Soylent Experiment

Well, this might be considered a failed experiment. Don’t take that the wrong way. I did this back in Q1 and now we’re in Q3. We made this into a YouTube review and I wanted to not make this too scientific for the general population, but this was released far later than expected. (Through this post on the blog…obviously, since you’re reading it.) Therefore, I want to keep this as simple and straightforward as possible. I’m going to give you the same feedback that I gave to the number of people who messaged me about this, while I was doing it and posting about it on social media.

Soylent 2.0 should be in your fridge at all times. Soylent 1.5 should be in your house at no point in time. 

That’s right. I love one product and do not support the other. In fact, I have about 5 bags of 1.5 and a prep kit (courtesy of the very generous team over at Soylent) that I want to give away for free.

Giveaway Details/Instructions

• Just comment where you’re from below and send an email to hungryandfit@gmail.com with that same location in the subject line and I’ll send it to the one winner I randomly select.
• It’s roughly a $75 value. 

I know what you’re thinking. ‘You just told us that this product is not worth getting and now you’re giving it away for us to have. That doesn’t seem like something you’d do.’ Here’s the deal. From a completely scientific point of view, these products are nearly identical, but I’ll still break this down real quick. 

2.0 is more convenient. You don’t need to mix the product in a very nice pitcher because it’s in a bottle already. 

2.0 tastes better. This is subjective but one tastes like cheerios and one tastes like corrugated cardboard. 

2.0 goes down easier. It’s well mixed and smooth while no matter how much you shake 1.5, it’s like a fiber supplement going down.

2.0 makes you feel better. Once again, subjective, but I had stomach issues from 1.5 during my testing phase.

2.0 and 1.5 are equally healthy in terms of macro and micro nutrients. 

Essentially, if you don’t mind the taste, the texture, or have stomach issues with it, it’s just as good. It’s a better value and arguably, more environmentally friendly. I don’t want to say too much, because that YT video will come out at some point, but I essentially consumed only Soylent for weeks. I transitioned into 2.0, transitioned to 1.5, and moved off it entirely. I lost a significant amount of weight, dropped body fat and lost some muscle mass. I did not change my workouts or sleep to maintain some constants through the experiment. 

I do want to emphasize that 2.0 is an amazing product that I will receive monthly through a subscription. Scroll down this link from Soylent’s website to know that it is vegan, among other things. 

Let’s recap real quick. Soylent 2.0 should be in your fridge at all times. I advise caution with 1.5. If you want to try 1.5 for FREE, just enter your location in a comment below and email that same location as the subject line in an email to hungryandfit@gmail.com because free supplements has helped us stay hungry and fit and it can help you too!
