Yep, I'm the same way. An IT person in my life got way into Soylent. I tried it for a while and ended up just eating double because if I don't have solid food I don't feel like I ate.
I tried Soylent and while they aren't completely awful like others I've tried, they still have the problem of not making me feel full, so I'll drink one and then still end up eating something. Usually junk.
If it weren't for the weed, I don't think I'd ever eat, my autistic ass just wouldn't think of it.
But also if all it takes is ripping open a packet and pouring stuff out to have ready to chew food (but not liquid or mush, the texture 😫), it's a winner. Because eventually I get to the point where I feel sick and NEED FOOD NOW or I'll throw up acid.
Brains are weird.
Consistently relying on weed to give you an appetite can make you dependent on it to feel hungry. Note how most heavy long term smokers you know are thin as rails.
If you happen to have this problem, however, a meal replacement drink like Soylent can be a godsend. It's pretty hard to eat a nutritious 2000 calories if you have to wait until you're really high at 9pm to start eating.
Literally my conversation with my wife last night.
Me when I got home from work: I was good today! I bought some new, low calorie rice cake snacks with flax, chia, and quinoa! A serving is only 90 cal and they taste awesome!
definitely cant relate to all you hunger-forgetters. I went the other way into full on binge eating (BED). constant snacking = constant victory 😎 dopamine city baby
A meal replacement drink,
~several hours of hyperfocus~
like 10 handfuls of peanuts???
~more hours of focus~
a chicken breast, some roasted veggies, baked potato (pleased about this, but it was provided for me)
i am very good at being functional and taking care of my body
Yesterday, I had half a box of cheez-it duos (sharp cheddar and parmesan) at about 2pm...after getting up about 8am and going for a run at 11am. Didn't eat again until I got home from picking up my wife at the airport at 10:30pm. I ate about 3 servings of tater tots. Didn't eat again until 6pm today. Fucking hell that's not great.
Lunch was kinda last minute and incredibly late, left over green bean casserole and a veggie chicken sandwich.
Dinner though, dinner is going to be wild.I'm either going to make another green bean casserole or some minute rice depending on how late I end up making it... So probably rice.
Pizza for breakfast, skipped lunch and now my husband is making fajitas for dinner. I am thankful he feeds me. Lol. If not for him I would probably forget to eat half the time and then wonder why I feel like crap. Or I would live off chips and beef Jerky or something dumb like that.
