What's the soylent diet? is it safe to follow it? is there a vegan soylent option?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Awful diet,unsafe,no: The soylent diet is eating only a liquid mix of sugar, whey powder, oats, oil and minerals created by a tech geek with little knowledge of nutrition. It is high-glycemic and completely lacking in phytonutrients and other important micronutrients. I think it is unsafe & ill-advised. There is no vegan option (yet).
