Tastes GOOD? I don't mind the taste at all but I don't think I would go that far. Losing weight is a total bonus. I told myself that the blood pressure was the big deal but I love that it is a contributing factor in my weight loss.

Eat bigger on the weekends? Of course!

Thanks. I work with a couple of fitness nuts and they warned me of the same concern when I told them about Soylent. Both also strongly suggested the workouts and staggering my calorie intake. The workout makes perfect sense. Staggering intake seems natural with weekends. I've read that some do it intentionally to try and…

Not sure why my post looks like a quote. Sorry . . . I don't know how to repair and I'm posting without glasses. Major contributing factor I'm sure.

Guilt vs. motivation . . . Reading through this thread I felt minor guilt running through a fast food joint getting traditional burger, fries, and drink telling myself it was just this one time. Three days in a row with guilt didn't change a thing. In fact, I felt more guilt and ate more at night. I read through a few more…

Look what you've started Ashley. For me I confess that I love meat. After calorie counting I decided I didn't love meat for a while. After actually reviewing my calorie counting with more interest I found that many meats weren't the problem. A harmless peanut butter sandwich almost killed my day! Calories in vs. Calories…
