Soylent: How I Stopped Eating for 30 Days --YouTube
Brian Merchant will challenge Soylent's 30-day life.
During the experiment, Merchant went to
'I still can't believe I can only eat Soylent for the next month,' said Merchant, who drinks Soylent on the first day at a hotel in San Francisco.
After enjoying Soylent, I met Rob Reinhardt, CEO of Soylent Corporation.
24-year-old Reinhardt said, 'I don't think it's possible to support an ever-growing population with food from nature alone. To solve food problems, we need something else. Cheap and healthy. Soylent has the potential to replace food, and it may also be a solution to environmental problems, 'he said.
To demonstrate the safety of Soylent, Reinhardt spent 30 days eating only Soylent and published the process on the Internet.
As a result of having a medical examination 30 days later, I did not find any health problems.
Soylent has become a hot topic on the internet as 'food of the future' and is featured in the web media.
When we solicited investment from Kickstarter to commercialize Soylent, we raised about 800,000 dollars (about 80 million yen) in one month. We will launch Soylent Corporation with the collected funds.
This is where Soylent is actually being produced.
One week's worth of Soylent is $ 65 (about 6500 yen)
Soylent contains embaku powder, maltodextrin, rice protein, rapeseed oil, dietary fiber, potassium gluconate, sodium, iron, zinc, and chloride.
It is said that the above-mentioned inclusions are purchased from Amazon and others.
The second day of Soylent life. According to the merchant, he feels full about two minutes after drinking Soylent.
After finishing the interview with Soylent Corporation, Merchant is back at home in New York.
Even after entering the fifth day of Soylent life, Merchant says, 'I'm full and I think I'm very healthy.'
8th day from the start of the experiment. The hungry merchant decides to eat the residue from making Soylent.
You can't let go of Soylent when you go out.
On the 13th day of Soylent's life, Merchant feels a little thin and his facial expression looks dark.
However, on the 14th day, the smile returned to Mr. Merchant. 'I was able to live without food for two weeks! I have no problem with my physical condition,' said the merchant.
Where did the merchant go on the 17th day of Soylent life ...
Clinic. I decided to have a medical examination on this day.
The doctor who diagnosed Mr. Merchant said, 'Mr. Merchant's body looks healthy, but I am very worried. The act of eating is not just supplementing nutrition, but is deeply involved in human joy and sociality. I can't hide my worries.
The doctor advised the merchant, 'If you feel any abnormality in your body, stop your Soylent life. Also, do not exercise at all.'
As the doctor pointed out, Merchant didn't go out much because he could only eat Soylent when he went out to eat with his friends.
On the 18th day of his life in Soylent, Merchant finally got used to the unique taste of Soylent, but he said he began to feel stressed by the restriction that only Soylent could be eaten.
'The food I want to eat most now is fried chicken,' says a merchant on the 20th day of Soylent's life.
On the 22nd day, Laughlin, the girlfriend of Merchant, will be with us. Mr. Laughlin said, 'Since Brian started his life in Soylent, his body odor has changed. The scent of Soylent comes from Brian,' said a third-party opinion.
The merchant brings Soylent to work and asks a colleague to drink it. According to a colleague who drank Soylent, the taste was the worst, especially the last bite.
On the other hand, some people drink it deliciously, saying 'it's delicious'. The taste of Soylent seems to be different for each person.
On the 25th day of Soylent life, Merchant's cheeks are clearly thinner than they were in the early days.
On the 28th day, Merchant was clearly mentally weakened, saying, 'I'm getting crazy, I'm getting crazy. It may feel a little depressed.'
And finally the last 30 days of Soylent life.
'I'm glad that it ended safely. I'm just glad, that's it,' said Merchant, who seems to be sick despite the end of Soylent's life.
To celebrate the 30-day Soylent life, the smile returned to the merchant who ate the fried chicken he had longed for at the restaurant. Mr. Merchant ate a bite of fried chicken and commented, 'I feel the food moving in my mouth, esophagus, and stomach,' and he says he is happy with the act of eating.
'I didn't have any physical problems throughout the 30 days,' said Merchant. 'If Soylent passed the appropriate clinical trials, I might try again. But thanks to this experiment, I'll eat. I realized that this was a happy thing, 'he said.
There is no health problem if you continue to eat only Soylent, but as the doctor in the movie said, 'meal' is not just an act of nutrition. So if you treat Soylent as a side dish instead of a staple food, there seems to be no problem.
