I'm a computer geek who has very little interest in preparing "real" food and am keen to get my hands on Soylent as soon as possible (the fact that I live in Australia makes that problematic for the moment, although I may just take the DIY approach).<p>I've also been video blogging for a while and, as part of a new channel I'm working on, I'd like to experiment on myself in various ways and talk about the results. For that, Soylent seems like a good place to start.<p>I do have a few questions though:<p>* What do you want to see/hear from someone's experience with Soylent?<p>* What tests are worth getting to demonstrate before/after results?<p>* What are some of the best experiments that have been conducted so far?<p>The plan is to do a daily video for a month, then a large write-up, and if the trial seems promising, I'll continue with 1-2 videos per week.<p>There's no "catch" to this — if I'm lucky, ads on YouTube will pay for a day's worth of Soylent — but I do enjoy this sort of thing and plan to put a considerable amount of time and effort into making sure the videos are interesting and informative. (There'll be proper editing, etc.) I also have enough reservations about Soylent that I won't just be spouting their PR copy. I want it to work but I'm prepared to be critical.<p>If all of that sounds good to you, I'd love to hear your input<p>TL;DR — I want to do a daily video blog while experimenting with Soylent and want to know what you'd like to see/hear from that video blog. What tests I should get, etc.
Well I read a lot of folk being more alert and loosing weight. How about mental capacity, some diets kinda turn my brain to fuzz... As a computer geek, if you program, relate how your coding/problem solving faculties are doing.<p>Second would be strength.
I thought this was a crazy idea - and I guess I still do, BUT I work with someone who has absolutely NO relationship with food - a married, middle aged woman with 2 grown children. Obviously for over 20 years she has cooked for them all, but she doesn't have a favourite food ANYTHING. It would be interesting to know how many others there are like her in the world because THIS is the audience that Soylent should be going after.
Check out your skin using a USB microscope.<p>Seriously, your skin says a lot about your general health.<p>Also, try to supplement with Xylitol gum. This will keep you from losing the ability to masticate, as well as help with dental health.<p>Good luck.
