It'll be healthier and more enjoyable just to eat actual food

I tried that. It didn't work. If you have something specific to recommend that can replace meals instead of Soylent, speak up.

Could you be more speciifc? (In particular with respect to macronutrient ratios, and whether you've ever been in ketosis and confirmed it with a blood or urine test.) I have a strong prior against people having tried all the things, even if they've tried to try them, since some of the strategies are easy to do incorrectly without realizing it.
