One of the ideas I want to find out by trying Soylent is: What happens when hunger is no longer an issue? Will I still crave juicy burgers and fries everday at 12pm? Will I really be satisfied by only eating small bites if I'm already full off Soylent? I definitely see myself using this on days where I'm just too busy to run out for lunch, early morning breakfasts, or as good healthy travel food. Not sure I'll replace my whole diet.

What a cool experiment though...

I reckon you'd be dreaming about food in the Homer Simpson style for a while, until you get utterly accustomed to the new diet. I call that the brainwashing of the stomach. (because stomach-washing sound weird)
According to a fiend of mine, Soylent doesn't change you hunger patterns. You still get hungry around lunchtime and then its just a matter of whether you choose to eat a regular meal or a prepare a Soylent shake.
