Ngiqale ukuzwa ngeSoylent eminyakeni embalwa edlule, lapho ngifunda i-athikili ku- New Yorkermayelana nezinto. Yakhelwe amadoda amathathu asebenza ekuqaleni kwezobuchwepheshe, i-Soylent-impushana equkethe wonke ama-calories, amavithamini, amaminerali, nezinye imisoco oyidingayo ukuze uphile-bekufanele ibe impendulo "yenkinga" yokudla okuthile. Esikhundleni sokuthola isikhathi sokuthenga, ukupheka, ukudla, nokuhlanza, ungavele uhlanganise inkomishi ye-Soylent nenkomishi yamanzi futhi uqhubeke nempilo yakho.

Ezinyangeni ezimbalwa ezedlule, ngahlangana nomsunguli kanye ne-CMO ye-Soylent, uDavid Rentein. Ungazise ngeSoylent 2.0, uhlobo olusha sha lweSoylent, isiphuzo esenziwe ngaphambi kwesikhathi esithathe umsebenzi owengeziwe ngokufaka umfutho. Ngesikhathi somhlangano wethu, ngithathe isiphuzo sami sokuqala seSoylent 2.0. Ngamangala kamnandi. Yayinambitheka, kimi, njengobisi lwe-alimondi olujiyile, lwe-oat-ier. Inkampani yangithumelela amabhodlela angu-12, engawanamathisela ngaphansi kwedeski lami ngawakhohlwa. Kuze kube amasonto ambalwa edlule, okungukuthi, lapho ngizinikele ngokuphila ngeziphuzo izinsuku ezimbalwa futhi ngabhala ngokuhlangenwe nakho kwami.

Imithetho

Ngivumile ukuchitha izinsuku ezintathu-kusuka ngoLwesine kuya ngoMgqibelo-ngiphila ngeSoylent 2.0. Ngangiphinde ngiphuze ama-ounces angu-8 ekhofi ngosuku, futhi phakathi nezinsuku ezintathu ngathola i-Diet Coke (Ngiyazi, ngiyazi ukuthi i-soda yokudla entshontshayo ingamosha ukudla kwakho) kanye namaminti ambalwa.

Ukucaca, izinsuku ezintathu akukona ukuqhekeka komhlaba. Eqinisweni, abantu baphile isikhathi eside, isikhathi eside ku-Soylent kuphela. (Lo mfana ukwenze izinsuku ezingama-30!) Ngangazi ukuthi kwakungaphezu kokungenzeka. Nganginentshisekelo yokuthi ukudla okungekho okuqinile kuzongifundisani ngemikhuba yami yokudla. Nami nganginethemba ngasese ukuthi kuzongiqeda umlutha kashukela. (Isexwayiso se-Spoiler: Akuzange.)

Umgede

"Ukuphila nge-Soylent akuyona into esiyikhuthazayo," kuxwayisa uNicole Myers, umqondisi wezokuxhumana e-Soylent, lapho ngishaya ucingo ngibuza ukuthi yini okufanele ngiyazi ngaphambi kokudla kwami ​​​​. Yize kungenzeka, inkampani ithwebula ngempela abantu abaningi abasebenzisa i-Soylent ukuze bathathele indawo lokho abakubiza ngokuthi "ukudla okulahlwayo"-isaladi eliphuphile olidla ngokungenangqondo phambi kwekhompyutha, noma i-protein ebamba umhlathi oyivala ngoba udinga ukudla manje futhi anginaso isikhathi sokuthola noma yini enye. Esikhundleni salokho, phuza ibhodlela le-Soylent.

Lokhu futhi akuyona ukudla. Yebo, ungalahlekelwa isisindo ku-Soylent, kepha kuphela ngoba kwenza kube lula kakhulu ukuqapha ukudla kwakho kwekhalori. Akukho lutho ngokwemvelo oluncane ngakho. Lokho kusho ukuthi, ngilahle amakhilogremu ambalwa-mhlawumbe ngoba bengithatha amakhalori ambalwa engiwenzayo ngosuku olujwayelekile ngoba bengingadli ukudla okulula. (Sengizitholile futhi.)

Izifundo Ezifundiwe

Ekuseni ngosuku lwami lokuqala, nganginovalo kodwa ngijabule. Ngabona ukuthi ngizokwazi ukuqeda izinsuku ezintathu ngaphandle kwenkinga enkulu, futhi ngakwenza. Ngangiphuza okungenani amabhodlela angama-400-khalori ama-Soylent ngosuku, imvamisa ngiphuza ngalinye emahoreni ambalwa, ngoba ukuliphuza kungenza ngathuka kancane. Nakuba ngezikhathi ezithile ngangizwa "Ngifisa sengathi ngingakudla lokho", angikaze ngizizwe ngilambile; isiphuzo sigcwalisa ngokumangazayo. Ngangigijima nsuku zonke (amamayela amane, amamayela amathathu, imayela elilodwa), futhi ngagijima amamayela ayi-9 ngeSonto, usuku engaphula ngalo "ukuzila," futhi ngangizizwa ngikahle isikhathi ngasinye. I-TMI, kodwa angizange ngikhiphe ngokugcwele izinsuku ezimbili kwezintathu engangiziphuze i-Soylent. Ngikusho lokho ngokungaphuzi kwami ​​amanzi anele yize lokho kungukucabanga kwami. (Sinokudla okuphezulu okungu-30 okuhambisa amanzi.)

Ngaphandle kwemininingwane ye-Nitty-gritty, engikuthole kuthakazelisa kakhulu ngokudla kwami ​​kwe-Soylent kwaba ukuthi ukudeda ekudleni "kwangempela" okwembulwe mayelana nobudlelwano bami nokudla kwami. Ukuqala ngeqiniso lokuthi ...

Ngithanda ukucabanga ngokudla.

Ngosuku lwami lokuqala kuphela lwe-Soylent, ngichithe amahora ambalwa ku-reddit.com/r/soylent, umphakathi we-reddit wabathanda iSoylent. Ngithole abasebenzisi abambalwa ababebonakala bebheka ukudla nokudla njengenkinga noma ukuncela isikhathi.(Inothi eseceleni: Abanye abasebenzisi babiza ukudla okunge-Soylent ngokuthi "ukudla kwe-muggle," okuhlekisayo.) Angihlobene nalaba bantu. Ngikugwinya ukudla.

Okuxakayo nokho, engikukhumbule kakhulu akusona isenzo sokudla noma yikuphi ukudla okuthile (ukuvimbela isidlo sami sangaphambi kokulala seSour Patch Kids efriziwe, #realtalk). Bekuyi ecabanga mayelana nokudla. Isimo sami sokuqala lapho ngihlala etafuleni lami bekuwukuzibuza ukuthi yini engingayintshontsha ngiyithathe UmumoItafula le-snack-ngaze ngikhumbule, Awume, angikwenzi lokho namuhla. NgoLwesihlanu, ngiphume ngayodla isidlo sakusihlwa ukuyogubha usuku lokuzalwa lomngani, futhi ngiphuthelwe ukubheka imenyu kusengaphambili futhi ngicabange ngalokho engingaku-oda.

Nokho, lapho ngisesidlweni sakusihlwa, okuwukuphela kwezikhathi engangizizwa sengathi ngiyaphuthelwa yilezo (1) lapho isinkwa (esifudumala kuhhavini) silethwa okokuqala etafuleni (2) nalapho ukudla kwabangane bami kubekwa phansi. Zombili izikhathi iphunga lingenze ngafuna ukudla-imizuzwana emihlanu. Ngemuva kwalokho, ngazigoqa ngangixoxa nabangane bami futhi ngakhohlwa ukuthi babemba (babukeka bemangalisa futhi benuka kamnandi) ngenkathi ngiphuza uketshezi olubi.

Ngangazi ukuthi ngangisebenzisa ukudla njengendlela yokuqeda ukucindezeleka noma ukuzinika ukuphumula kwengqondo kusukela ngosuku lokusebenza. KuSoylent, ngifunde ukuthi ukucabanga nje ngokudla kusebenza inhloso efanayo kimi. Lapho lokho kususwa kimi, ngaba nomkhiqizo othe xaxa - kodwa futhi ngaphuthelwa izaba zokuphefumula nokuphupha ngesidlo sakusihlwa.

Ngifunde ukukhumbula kakhudlwana.

Ukusebenza e Umumo, Ngizwa okuningi ngokudla okunomqondo. Ngakuqonda njengokuthi, ngokuyisisekelo, yeka ukudla lapho ungalambile. I-peasy elula.

Kuyavela, angikaze ngempela-ngempela-kuzamile. Kimi, iSoylent 2.0 ayinambitheki neze. Kodwa akukuhle, noma into engiyilangazelelayo. Sasingekho isizathu sokuyiphuza ngaphandle kokucabanga; Ngalicosha kuphela ibhodlela lapho ngizizwa ngilambile. Ngamangala ngazithola ngizibuza, Yindlala le?, njengolunye uhlobo lomfokazi. Bengingazi ukuthi kuyinkimbinkimbi kangako!

Ngemuva kokuphela kwezinsuku ezintathu, ngazizwa ngithinta kakhulu indlala yomzimba wami. Ngiyajabula ukuthi manje sengingakwazi ukudambisa lezo zinhlungu ngokudla kwangempela, kepha ngibonga lokhu kudla okungenangqondo ngokungifundisa ukuthi ziyini kwasekuqaleni. (Psst... Indlala Encane Ingaba Impilo.)

Ngikhumbule ukuzizwa ngigcwele.

Angizange ngizizwe ngilambile, kepha angizange ngizizwe ngigcwele kakhulu. Ngithanda ukuzizwa ngisuthi. KuReddit.com/r/soylent, abasebenzisi basikisela ukugcwala amanzi ukuze uthole lowo "muzwa ogcwele," okuyiseluleko esifanayo osithola njalo uma udla okuthile. Futhi kwasebenza.

Ngiphuthelwe ukudla okumibalabala.

Uyawazi lowo muzwa owuthola ngemuva kokugcoba ijusi eluhlaza noma i-smoothie? Ngizizwa ngicwebezela futhi nginamandla, sengathi ngikwazi ukuzwa ama-antioxidants nezakhi ezisebenza emithanjeni yami. Ngicabanga ukuthi lokho kungumphumela we-placebo - kepha anginandaba, ngiyayithanda. I-Soylent imhlophe qwa. Ukuphuza akuzange kungenze ngizizwe ngikhazimula. (Ingabe Ukudla Okumhlophe Akunamsoco?)

Ukudla kungokomzwelo.

Ngiyazi, duh. Kodwa ngangingazilungiselele izimpendulo engazithola lapho ngichazela abanye abantu ngomsebenzi wami. Abangane bami babefana nokuthi, "Noma yini eyisimanga," base bexolisa izikhathi eziyisigidi ngokukhohlwa nokunginikeza ubhasikidi wesinkwa. (Bathande.) Kodwa ngokubona kwami, abantu engingabazi bebengalaleli kangako. Ngatshelwa izikhathi eziningana ukuthi ukudla kwakungenempilo. Ukuthi kufanele kube nesoya eningi kakhulu. Ukuthi umzimba womuntu uklanyelwe ukudla "ukudla kwangempela." Umbhalo ongezansi engiwuzwile uthi, "Mina ngeke akwenze lokho! "

Futhi niyazi ukuthini? Ngiyakuthola. Ngiyakuzonda ukuzwa umuntu ekhuluma ngokuthi ukuphuma ebisini kusisusa kanjani isikhumba sakhe, ngoba ngiwuthanda kakhulu u-ayisikhilimu kangangokuthi umcabango wokuwuyeka ungenza ngifune ukukhala. Umqondo wokuthi ngelinye ilanga ngingahlakulela ukungezwani komzimba okukhulu kwe-gluten kuhlasela ukwesaba okungokoqobo enhliziyweni yami. Sonke sinama-hang-hang mayelana nokudla, futhi lokho kungenza kube lula ukubona ukuthi abanye abantu badlani njengokuhlasela lokho thina ukudla. Kepha umuzwa engiwutholile lapho othile engifundisa ngokungabalulekile kokudla okuqinile bekuyisikhumbuzo sokukufaka uma kukhulunywa ngalokho okusemapuletini abanye abantu.

Amanothi wokugcina: Imisebenzi eSoylent

Ngicabange ukuphela kwezinsuku ezintathu, ngizozizwa ngitubekile kuSoylent futhi ngifisa ukuthola ukudla kwangempela. Kepha ngizizwa ngingathathi hlangothi kuyo manje njengoba ngangenza ngenkathi ngiqala. Isidlo sami sokuqala ngemva kwe-Soylent (ucezu olulodwa lwebhotela le-peanut butter kanye nocezu olulodwa lwethosi likakotapheya) lwalulungile, kodwa lungadluleli.

Nginamabhodlela amaningana asele, futhi ngenkathi ngicabanga ukukusebenzisa esikhundleni sokuthenga isidlo sasemini ngezinsuku engikhohlwa ukuzifaka esikhwameni esinsundu, kungenzeka ukuthi ngeke ngithathe indawo yokudla kwami ​​okujwayelekile nazo noma kunini. Ngithola okushiwo yi-Soylent mayelana nokudla "okulahla", futhi ngaphandle kokungabaza, uma ukudla kwakho okujwayelekile "ngokujaha" kuyinto evela endaweni yokudla okusheshayo, i-Soylent ingenza okunye okumangalisayo. Kodwa ngizama ukunamathela ekudleni okuhlanzekile noma kunjalo (yonga i-Sour Patch Kids kanye ne-Diet Coke ngezikhathi ezithile). Futhi uma ngiphakamisa isaladi yami evamile yesidlo sasemini yemifino, utamatisi, uphizi, inkukhu noma i-salmon, neqanda ebhodleleni le-Soylent... Akuwona umncintiswano.

Futhi, ngaphandle kwezitsha ze-smoothie, amajusi aluhlaza, namasaladi, okuphakelayo kwami ​​​​ku-Instagram kwase kuqala ukuba yisicefe kakhulu. Ngicela, ubuyele kuleyo mpilo #eeeeats life. (Bheka lawa ma-akhawunti angama-20 we-Foodie Instagram Okufanele Uwalandele.)
