Why not just drink Soylent?
Comment on What would happen to your body if you only ate 750g of 2% cottage cheese every day for a month?

So I can’t answer your question exactly, but, as many here know at this point, I have been suffering through an illness where I have not eaten any solid food since last August (please no medical advice). Before I got, with the help of doctors, settled on a liquid diet of 6 Ensures and 4 V8s a day, I lost 80 pounds- 260 to 180, I was dizzy and lightheaded all the time from the lack of electrolytes, and while I still don’t have much energy and have to rest for a while after walking the dogs for half an hour, I couldn’t even walk a couple of blocks.
That said, my blood panels show everything is normal, so I’m clearly not dying. It’s not exactly a great quality of life, especially since our entire society is based around food in every conceivable way, but it is survivable. In fact, one good thing came out of it- I no longer have high blood pressure or high cholesterol, so I don’t have to take pills to counteract those anymore.

Because, as I said, this was settled with the help of doctors.
And, again, please no medical advice.

FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 months ago
No, why would I?

I’m sorry to hear you’re going through that. I can sort of imagine what you’re going through, and it’s certainly not fun, but it’s probably not a 1:1 situation. I really hope you get better though.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Thanks. Definitely not 1:1 but maybe sort of put you down the path?
hellofriend@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Not entirely sure what you mean. Could you rephrase?
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Sorry, I mean that I agree, it’s not a 1:1 comparison, but it might lead you down the road to finding the right sort of comparison by putting my experience with the experiences of others.
