EATING soy is fine, it's the production of soy that is quickly getting to the point of having the largest environmental impact on the planet. The way they produce soy is so wasteful and polluting you'd be better off eating meat.

Interesting! I've not noticed any problems here

this sounds like typical bullshit psychological studys would explore nowadays and nobody could replicate (replication crisis in social studys). im pretty sure the micro biome in my gut didnt care much about my psychological state. there are some REAL physical enzymes in the saliva but you still produce saliva when drinking stuff.. the old saying "chew your stuff 40 times" that my grandparents used to say is pretty much bullshit. says sport science.. you could survive in a coma by getting sugar trough your veins. so much for that chewing part and being conscious about eating. these are physical processes not psychological. monkeys are arseholes in general.. maybe because they didnt read much KANT or HEIDEGGER. you can reflect on yourself. then maybe chewing isnt the pinacle of your day as hairless monkey.

Proper mastication is also important for maintenance of the jaw muscles. If someone really wanted to start doing a lot of meal replacements I'd encourage him or her to follow it up with a stick of gum some of the time.

@@xXx_Regulus_xXx completely agree, I noticed that when I first started making my own meal replacements, and then when I tried soylent, I found myself unconsciously 'chewing' even though what I was drinking was a liquid. The gum idea is good, gum is very healthy for the teeth anyway, and I read recently that it seems to support concentration in mental tasks, a little.

Me omw to buy an adult chew toy

wonderful! I'm so pleased for you, thank you for saying :-)

+1 the same here

How suspicious! I've also never seen us in the same room at the same time - CONSPIRACY THEORY TIME!

yes, that's right!

That seems awesome honestly! Actual motivation to cook occasionally and make delicious food

@@v0id_d3m0n thats exactly right! granted now i dont cook as much as i used to but its a great motivator. like a cold bath for your taste buds lol

And huel has great food options too, if you're worried about that. As I said in the video, I don't replace all meals with this - nor do I recommend it - there's something wonderful about sitting down to a lovingly-prepared meal with friends :-)

@@NoBoilerplate Yeah I didn't finish till the very last bit yet, I wouldn't call those "meal replacements" any more though. That's just prepackaged meals. And I agree, these liquid meal replacements should elevate those meals that you still do prepare and sit down for to consume. The shelf-life of JimmyJoy is quite good, I still have a couple half-bags in my cupboard since years, that I still make a shake from every once in a while. However I must say that I got very much bored with them after a while. These days I rather skip breakfast and have a more extended lunch. Take some more time between work sprints instead of chugging along without breaks.

I’d love to embrace more meal replacements if they started using low polyunsaturated fats. Agricultural companies have found ways to genetically modify various vegetable oils to have almost no PUFA, but they haven’t been widely adopted due to a lack of market demand. Which is kind of surprising, consider the overlap of carnivore dieters and crunchy health zoomers who agree on almost nothing other than the fact that polyunsaturated fats cause inflammation and metabolic disorder.

This makes no sense. No part of chewing increases the quality of your diet or the nutrients quantity or balance you receive *unless* the food is not available enough without chewing and needs to be broken down to access nutrients and facilitate digestion.. these are liquid meal replacements. No one tells you to chew your milk to make sure it's part of a balanced diet. It might have a psychological one, but lack of chewing will not decrease the nutrients content of these shakes...just think about it

@@tavishlaughlin9530 yes it does. Chewing releases digestive enzymes with your saliva. If you are not chewing, there are far fewer such enzymes released and this digestion isn't fully activated. Just think about it.

Thank you so much!

My pleasure, thank you for your nice comment!

I BET it's why Soylent can't be shipped to the EU, we have much higher standards than the FDA

@NoBoilerplate You're in the UK, right? How do EU food regulations affect you

@@mariocamspam72 it's not like the UK deleted their entire corpus of food safetly laws when they performed union seppuku

@@mariocamspam72 we basically have all the EU laws still, the government is too busy to do anything about it. Great job! Though of course we don't benefit from new laws. It's a shit show.

@@NoBoilerplate Ah fuck, didn't even think about that. What a catastrophe

Go for it!

Absolutely, and you can experiment with making that oatmeal a complete food with this tool (which used to be called DIY Soylent) - lots of crowdsourced recepies: www.completefoods.co/

sure, but, that's all the food at my supermarket and far more of the food in Whole Foods than they'd like us to realise. FLOUR is processed grain. FLOUR! I really like bread! To be less flippant: when I read the ingredients for meal replacements, it's not full of more or less processed stuff than our regular food. So it's not a choice between some magical whole fruit and vegetables and Soylent, it's between to compromises that the system I'm living in forces upon me. And at least Soylent is convenient :D

​@@NoBoilerplate I disagree, flour is just ground wheat and doesn't go through any chemical processes, at least not here in the UK. I get your point that a lot of foods contain additives etc. but I think there is a difference here. I'm not en expert but it seems possible that having more than one of these a day could be bad for your health, or it might not, I really think it's worth looking at the reseach if you're consuming these a lot. Anyway, love the content. :D

@@tomlin111111111 Aha! I think I see the problem: We're totally agreed on the need to eat healthy ingredients, what is separating us is the very loose definition of 'processed food', and the actual problem processing causes, which is widespread, but incidental - correlation not causation: I BELIEVE the reason processed food is often bad isn't necessarily the actually processing of it, (the NHS defines[1] freezing, canning, and even COOKING as examples of processing!), but the almost universal correlation with adding extra stuff that IS unhealthy, either directly or due to knock-on effects: Sugar, salt, flavour enhancers, fats, etc. If the company making the ready meals, canned goods, breads etc, is so heavily involved in cooking the food, there's almost an EXPECTATION they'll add loads of stuff to it (unlike, say, a farmer producing raw ingredients, or home-cooked food). An unsalted can of vegetable soup would taste bland, right? Sadly, companies are rarely ethical about the damaging health effects of these delicious additions. So, the answer for me (as in many parts of my life) is that the burden of knowledge brings work! Yes, it's a good shortcut to reduce processed food, but even better, if you have time for it, is to pay attention to what you're eating. This is important in the industry outlier of meal replacements because the processing they undergo hasn't (I think) caused the typical addition of bullshit bad stuff. Let me read the ingredients off today's breakfast bottle of chocolate JimmyJoy drink, and you can judge for yourself: - water - soy protein extract (6%) - oats (5%) - starch (I guess in the EU, this is from wheat, thickener and calories, I think) - maltodextrin (wheat sugar, added for simple calories, I think) - Rapeseed oil (4%) - cocoa powder (2%) - oat fibre (1%) - emulsifier (soya lecithin) - thickener (Guar gum - I looked this up and it's Guar bean starch, you have to eat huge amounts of it to cause problems) The rest is vitamins and mineral mix, which have typically-long names I don't care to understand, but seems understandable. While there are a few things here that I am sure are not as good as they can be, it's pretty good. Unlike the OG Soylent, JimmyJoy is a Dutch company, governed by our much higher food standard (yes, even after brexit we still follow them. To change the rules would require a functioning government! ) [1] www.nhs.uk/live-well/eat-well/how-to-eat-a-balanced-diet/what-are-processed-foods/

How bad are your symptoms from going off keto? I've been on keto since I'm 13 (21rn), I recently went off and I genuinely feel like I have dementia. Granted, that wasn't a smart option considering I started having gut issues 6 months ago (probably anxiety based) and then got antibiotics for something else, and then broke keto with a crapton of fast food for a week... it's been a week since I stopped that bingnig, I honestly feel stupid and forget what I'm doing midway a task. during my 8 years of keto, it was on and off. I come from a culture of high blood pressure high carb food, do you think my body has just been well adjusted to keto and I messed it up? I know you're not a doctor - my doctor actually recommended me keto - I'd just like to get your opinion because I feel you're similar with having had many years of keto experience like me. i also never had keto flu

Oh sure, I'm no expert here, but I am heartened that these meal replacements have 100% of my daily recommended allowance of everything the government requires packaging to disclose.

​@NoBoilerplate Vaguely ominous but ok.. Just want to say that the general scientific consensus on health that I've gleaned over the years (from many opposing interests, no less) is that food is more than the sum of its parts, and whole foods (ie. less processed) are correlated with better overall health outcomes.

@@FE2E00 oh sure, if you can get it, you should eat well. But we can't always get good whole food, and this is a good tool for that situation, I think!

Some things here. "Healthy" is NOT a scientific term. The ingredients in these products are well known and researched. Eating only these meal replacements (obviously) is not sustainable. When used to replace other fast/cheap meals, these products are objectively better given their low glycemic index, balanced ratio of macronutrients and presence of many, if not all, essential bioavailable micronutrients. I wouldn't go so far to say that these are either "healthy" or "unhealthy", when examined on their own, just neutral. They are a healthier option in comparison to what they replace, but do not fully replace the need for "healthy" meals. That being said, there is plenty of room for improvement in the ingredient composition of these products. Soy protein isolate has many drawbacks, canola oil is disgusting and artificial sweeteners have always been a point of controversy.

Ooh, I'll look into GCM, thank you. Yes, I don't like huel shakes specifically for the sweetener they use, so I'm not suprised to learn this. JimmyJoy is great, though!

@@NoBoilerplate Just for completeness, the Huel Ready-to-drink v2.0 do not contain Sucralose; it's only their v1 mix. (I have very mixed feelings about the various daily green mixes everyone wants to push. Maybe I'll have to try it for science at some point.)

Yeah, I don't like Huel either, they've gone with some strange tasting artificial sweetener. I presume you're in North America? OG Soylent is actually my favourite flavour of all of the ones I've tried (and I've tried them all!). They no longer ship to the EU, so I can't get them, but both the powder and very handy bottles were GREAT for a few years for me! There must be others too, to try. Keep testing till you find your favourite!

@@NoBoilerplate Yes, I'm in NA. Perhaps I'll try another sometime; I still have most of a bag of Huel sitting in my cupboard. For now, protein shakes as meal replacement allow me to get in the nutrient most lacking in the other meals I eat, allowing me to have a fairly even split of % calories from protein, fat, and carbs.

Love porridge! My family name is 'oaten' so I guess I perhaps am obligated to...! However, that is firmly in the "Fast" and "Cheap" parts of the Venn diagram, but not a strong showing in the "Healthy" part. It's not bad for you, of course. But it's not a complete meal, it's missing a few key things like protein and vitamins and minerals. We're omnivores, so perfectly fine as a breakfast or occasional meal replacement, but I like knowing that whenever I have no time to make good food, I can grab a bottle of meal replacement from the fridge, and it'll be the healthiest meal I'll eat that day :-D

Porridge is a great breakfast

If you want it healthier leave out honey. Even healthier swap out milk, ideally for water, but oat drink or something will do, too. Add some seeds and nuts for actually good fats. Fresh or frozen fruit is nice, if you have it, but ruins the idea of just having it in a cupboard forever

​@@wantin42you saying honey and milk are unhealthy lol?

@@morpheusoneiros7704 It depends on the comparison ofc there is worse, but they really are not great. Honey is mostly sugar, that is not bound in any fibrous structure. Milk fats are mostly saturated. Drinking caloricly dense foods is not great for anyone who does not want to gain weight. You can look at the WHO recommendations for a diet in general and see how that reflects on milk and honey: "Less than 10% of total energy intake from free sugars (2, 7), which is equivalent to 50 g (or about 12 level teaspoons) for a person of healthy body weight consuming about 2000 calories per day, but ideally is less than 5% of total energy intake for additional health benefits (7). Free sugars are all sugars added to foods or drinks by the manufacturer, cook or consumer, as well as sugars naturally present in honey, syrups, fruit juices and fruit juice concentrates. Less than 30% of total energy intake from fats (1, 2, 3). Unsaturated fats (found in fish, avocado and nuts, and in sunflower, soybean, canola and olive oils) are preferable to saturated fats (found in fatty meat, butter, palm and coconut oil, cream, cheese, ghee and lard)" Link in the next comment in case the Channelholder is too busy to look through the comments that are held back for review.

Your doctor will ease the rest of them ;-)

@@NoBoilerplate I wasn't even hesitant, and I'll order some at some point to test it out jajaja. Thanks for the video.

Thank you so much. This is by design, I try very hard! :-)

min-maxing nutrition is for sure what this is about!

I'm the same! wfh, no kids, and I too love cooking. I'm glad you see what I was trying to show in the video, that this is a tool that sometimes, for some people, will be super handy!

You're repeating the urban legend that soy is bad for building muscle, I believe. There's no evidence for the 'soy boy' myth: Soya is a staple food eaten around the world forever, and enormously popular in the West for over 60 years. It's *fine*. A quick google found enormous scientific consensus that it's healthier for you than eating red meat, especially for men. (red meat causes prostate cancer). Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence: I note that Soya appears to have no health effects at *all*, despite being extensively studied: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soybean#Health_effects From personal experience, the strongest men I have ever seen I met when I was studying kung fu in rural china for 2 months 5 years ago. Soya has been a staple in China for longer than most of our western countries have existed. I just don't see it. If I can't put your mind to rest, then you'll be relieved that there are ALSO many meal replacement options from the big companies that don't have soya in, they get the protein from other plants. (and sometimes fish!)

@@NoBoilerplate Nope, was asking what your 1RM bench was. (Edit: And intentionally making a tongue in cheek joke out of it).

@@eleccy Sorry for being oversensitive, I've received hundreds of people repeating the nonsense about soy on this video., I read too much into your comment 😅 I don't weight lift any more, but I did try out powerlifting over lockdown. Though I loved doing it, I found that I'm extremely prone to injury because of my body proportions (I have a very long back). So after struggling through the Stronglifts 5x5 program, restarting every 2 months or so when I inevitably injured myself, I gave it up last year. I've recently starting going to a gym and I'm trying again, but much more carefully, with PT help. So ask me again in a year 🙂

@@NoBoilerplate Best of luck with it, and good luck in your future endeavours!

Those are certainly two important things, but it must certainly be a lot more complex than that!

great account! I loved having a dozen of the bottles in the fridge ready to go at any time - I wish they'd ship to the EU again. Bit sus there honestly, we have higher food standards!

I couldn't agree more, but we must work within the system we have. I'll see you at the next protest, but in the mean time, I hope to let people know there are options :-)

I hear good things about intermittent fasting! Can't work for everyone though, some will be fine with a sandwich, others with meal replacement!

very true, the drinks are always much smoother than mix at home - however a blender really helps!

That's such a good combo, I wish I liked coffee or chai! Maybe they'll do tea one day!

replace the bullshit meals, absolutely!

You're so kind, thank you :-)

Cool! Yes, it's such a useful tool. Thank you for your nice comments :-)

If you can get one of the meal replacement companies to deliver to your area, I highly recommend trying them out, even if you intend to make your own - just to see what you're aiming for!

You are welcome!

Thank you for your nice comment! :-)

I don't binge, but even so, i found this effect profound, I think the shakes are so nutritionally complete and dense, that I'd not experience this feeling before!

@@NoBoilerplate I don't think removing hunger is related to nutrition levels. Isn't hunger lowered when the stomach contents become less acidic? Pretty sure that's how hunger removing pills work. Either that or any other chemical reaction I don't know about.

@@RenderingUser Exactly! There's all kinds of diets popping up that make users "not hungry" when really they're missing out on vital nutrients and probiotics

Fair, meal replacements tend to be a regular balance of cars etc. Try huel black? I don't know your exact requirement, but it's lower carbon, higher protein. Alternatively, try searching here for keto options and make your own! www.completefoods.co/

There's no accounting for taste, you might find it tastes fine to you, I'd give anything you can order a try! I dont like the taste of the huel drink, for example, but love their pastas!

The meal replacement companies have standardises on 20% RDA as a serving size, so you're right that about 5 would be average. I think they've done this so you can have small meals (400kcal sounds about right for breakfast) and larger meals, by doubling up. Of course, if you're buying the powder and mixing it yourself, you can precisely tailor it to your exact requirements!

I don't doubt that's cheap and fast, but I'd stop short of calling it healthy, right? HOWEVER we're omnivores, I'm pretty relaxed about your smart meal prep - it sounds good!

@@NoBoilerplate don't see why it'd be particularly problematic, you'd just need to make sure to take a good multivitamin and something with whichever essential amino acid beans (red?) and rice combo lacks, in the proper proportions. beans and rice are pretty solid on carbs, proteins, and fats, so they're a great base for a diet imo, just not as well optimized as something like soylent

@@breq8079 totally agreed, really great option!

I've heard good things about intermittent fasting! Though this is not always an option for some folks.

@@NoBoilerplate been doing 18-6 all week, it's been ROUGH....but very, very effective.

learning to not eat breakfast is surprisingly easy. Even learning to eat a small meal for lunch is not that hard in my experience. I still do this. Adding to this, blood sugar spikes that cause slowness never really happen to me until dinner, and by that time i am already winding down.

Thank you! I'm trying out new subjects to see what folks are interested in, and I do a LOT of brain hacking!

You might reconsider if you don't like the taste! The main brands taste WILDLY different, so don't be disheartened if you don't like it - try another!

@@NoBoilerplate I believe I am the kind of person to power through the taste if it's just tolerable. Especially if I know it's the most worth "nutrient to price and comfort" option.

You're very kind! I am just getting started, but this is the kind of video I love to make, I look forward to reading your take on future videos!

not heard of them before, cool!

Yeah, very common option! Do note if there's any food groups missing from them, though, as they are not designed to be a complete food.

@@NoBoilerplate yep, for me they're either an augment to a small meal, dessert replacement, pre/post workout, or, worst case, meal of last resort

​​@@genmaicha_I replaced my breakfast with a protein shake recently, purely cause I never feel like making something healthy that early in the day, and eating some huge decadent sandwich is a bad start to the day. Plus it lets me have a smaller, mostly vegetable lunch while still hitting my protein goal.

I hadn't even thought of that! I hope you find something that helps!

Eating processed soy foods like this is certainly not going to help with your stomach ache.

@@jeffrey7063 Don't minimise other people's struggles with allergies, something like this could be a great boost for allergy's sufferers' lives.

@@jeffrey7063 FYI Huel Black Edition doesn't have soy, and I've been happily drinking it ever since.

My pleasure!

If you find any, please do update 🙏🏿

Oh I'm delighted to hear that. I can well believe it.

wow! that's a whole day's recommendation in one meal! I can believe it though, we're all very different. I just checked the plennydrink bottle I had for breakfast - it looks like each has 1/5th of your daily recommended fibre intake - fine for most people I should imagine (each bottle is a 1/5th portion of everything), but sounds like you've got your own optimisations. I for one need way more water than average, and that's fine!

Don't be fooled by the name, it's not got much soy in, some of these meal replacement options don't have any. Also, I wonder why this myth about soya exists, there are no studies that show hormone changes.

@@NoBoilerplate Seems to me that the jury is still out on this. I'm finding articles from both sides of the argument.

@@CristiNeagu Note which ones quote scientific papers.

@@NoBoilerplate Both, to be honest. Either way, it's not quite representative. This is a new development, it takes time to produce a significant amount of studies on the topic. And dietary science is very much in flux. 5 years ago everyone was convinced butter was bad for you. Now there's more and more scientists that say animal fat is actually pretty healthy and they recommend it over seed oils. Either way, I'm not saying you said anything wrong in the video. You made a pretty good point and you did encourage people to reach out to medical professionals. That's all we can do, really.

I don't think it's healthy, but the soy having estrogen argument shouldn't matter because it has the plant version of estrogen which doesn't impact humans

You're very welcome!

I love oatmeal! also oatmilk is my choice when I have tea. there's a few meal replacements that are based on oat flour as their primary carb, too. Where I live (uk) oats can be bought locally, which makes for a domestic crop, which feels good, you know? Like after the apocalypse I can still have the food I like XD

While it certainly is cheaper and you may like it more (which could be a good enough reason on its own), i do agree that it's more filling but in a bad way since it contains so few calories that you get hungry in a very short time again. I'm unsure of why you think it's healthier? Im not bashing oatmeal since it has been my default breakfast for the last 4 or so years, i just don't think its any kind of wonderfood.

Very good take, thank you

please watch the video and let me know what you think, your confusion is over the title, not the content.

your doctor must help you here, that seems very serious.

hope you like it! If not, try another flavour or company. I love the jimmyjoy chocolate, but my friends have wildly different tastes!

That's the most studenty thing I've heard of XD

I love oats! There's some meal replacements that are based on oats rather than soya. However, while your oats are cheap and fast, they are not, strictly speaking, healthy, in that they aren't a complete food, your work is not yet done. What I like about meal replacements is that it's both the fastest and healthiest meal I could choose, and I've got loads in the cupboard ready to go!

When I say snacks, I mean fruit!

Don't go all-in on any one brand until you've tried a few - I didn't like huel shakes, but like their food, for example. Have fun!

oh totally! $80 of rice bought in bulk can provide half your calories for a YEAR! It's a luxury food, no doubt.

Actually, data shows Americans and the west in general spend a smaller portion of our incomes on food compared to the rest of the world. Maybe all this "cheap" highly processed food is part of why we have so many chronic diseases?? Don't trust a random company with your health just because they say "vitamins" everywhere. Eat whole foods.

Are they actually expensive if DIYed? So the ingredients being locally sourced would be following your local cost of living?

@@Houndouur Certainly when I tried DIY, it was mostly inexpensive - making it a complete food (omegas, vitamins minerals etc) was the biggest expense. Flour is easy to get in bulk, these extras are the big cost. If someone isn't planning on drinking it for every meal for weeks, I think they could make a mostly-complete food from 3-4 ingredients.

@@NoBoilerplate Ooh, that does sound very useful tbh. I looked at some of the DIY stuff and the long list of vitamin pills i'd need to make bulk purchases of turned me off. What recipe's did you use?

Thank you so much! You'd love the CORTEX podcast, where we hear how the youtuber CGP Grey (my hero) hacks his own life in ways I can only dream of!

I dunno man, I've trained kung fu in china where soya is a staple and I've seen feats of strength I never thought possible! (see my 'meditation for coders' video for more details) The soya testosterone thing seems to have come from from unsubstantiated rumours perpetuated by people with nothing better to do - there's just no evidence soya does anything to hormones, in fact, there's lots that it does nothing, and much more to say it *reduces* cancer risk (including prostate). As an ex-powerlifter, I'd recommend trying Huel Black, which is high-protein and even has no soya, if I've not persuaded you! Other companies also do high protein options for athletes, too. "Clinical studies show no effects of soy protein or isoflavones on reproductive hormones in men:" www.fertstert.org/article/S0015-0282(09)00966-2/fulltext Good write-up of the research here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soybean#Health_effects Best post-workout recovery drink I ever had, no milk either.

What do you mean? Soya's universally been tested as very healthy (links to comprehensive studies in the description). Even and especially for men, contrary to the weird memes online: There's a study that shows a reduction in prostate cancer, which I'm certainly all for!

oats as a base I really dig. Especially here in the UK, that's a domestic crop, and cheap oats are available in north Europe too
