There are diet specific versions of soylent, now: https://www.thebairs.net/product-category/ketochow/

here is the recipe: https://diy.soylent.com/recipes/keto-chow-104-master-rich-ch...

Its true that its hard not to sound like an evangelist when you've lost weight-- but it's not pseudo science when there are studies that support the hypothesis (of course a lot of diets are fad diets and are pseudo science). The thing is its hard to tell the pseudo science from the real science.

Personally, in my experiment, I'm going to try adding Keto Chow to my diet over the next couple of months and see how I feel about it.

You know the dogma is bad when even an innocent comment like this gets downvoted.

While I think the term 'pseudoscience' gets thrown around way too loosely these days, it's no secret that the science surrounding nutrition is a convoluted mess, with various peer reviewed studies showing seemingly conflicting results.
