Poor Norm. I watched this video from Motherboard on Soylent. He attempted to go 30 days on nothing but Soylent like the CEO had done. As stated in the video, they’ve moved out of that disgusting warehouse for production. Everything about it screamed sketchy to me, plus there’s no FDA approval requirements. It’s a pretty good video nonetheless documenting his experience with Soylent.
One of the biggest issues he had was the social aspect and felt very excluded and eventually stopped going out all together with people for dinners and drinks. Seems like Norm had his first experience with that.
Is there a standardized chalkiness scale to determine the 25% less claim?
Oh’ man. Sad Norm face at the end is tragic…..
Norm, you don’t need to use chemicals to clean that glass, you should try these. All you need is water.
It’s only 10:00 AM, but for some strange reason, I could really go for some Mar Far Chicken, fried rice, and Chow Mein right about now.. 🙏
I thought the same. Some give that guy a pizza. I wonder what his first meal back will be.
he says he hasn’t lost weight, but he looks thinner to me. i ono.
Someone needs to do up a full color standstone miniature of Sad Norm holding his glass of peanut butter and banana Soylent! 😅
Is anyone else impressed by Norm’s kitchen? I don’t know what I expected it to look like, but I keep thinking, “man, that’s a good looking kitchen!”
It’s hard to believe you haven’t lost any weight. That kind of bums me out, I really thought it would work.
Yeah Norm Manor has pretty nice marble or granite countertops, very classy~
I’m pretty jealous of a semi scheduled board game night, very large turnout!
As for the weight loss thing, I would hope any kind of sustainable weightloss wouldn’t be apparent within five days. That seems really dangerous to me but I’m not a doctor nor a tracksuit wearer.
Yeah, Norm has a really cool looking pad. Small, but nice.
Just doing their website’s namesake and testing it. A reader sent in a week of old-formula Soylent for them to try. No specific goals beyond what is clearly entertaining video.
One of my friends is a psychologist at a clinic where they deal with a lot of overweight people and she said the social thing is actually one of the biggest reasons lots of people don’t stick to all those dieting/nutrition schemes (meal replacement shakes, paleo, no carbs etc).
Apparently sustainability is key which makes sense. It should require discipline but if its just a horrible experience you won’t stick to it. You also need to allow yourself the odd night off so you can go out with friends to that great pizza place every now and then.
I was thinking exactly the same thing. And apparently Norm doesn’t cook much! Which a kitchen like that! Madness!
Sad face Norm is hilarious
Your next week of Soylent is the perfect excuse to buy a BlendTech Blender. Will it blend Soylent until its not chalky?
I’ll be honest, Norm’s looking a bit chubby these days. He should go back to doing the pushups.
These videos are kind of depressing to me. Norm seems to never have cleaned a dish or prepared any food on his own before. Is Norm a stealth version of Dan Ryckert? He has no adults skills but just isn’t as open about the fact as Dan?
“cleaning solutions of the future”, like the rough side of a sponge?
