Ask HN: I want to do a trial of Soylent – what do you guys want to see?
I've also been video blogging for a while and, as part of a new channel I'm working on, I'd like to experiment on myself in various ways and talk about the results. For that, Soylent seems like a good place to start.
I do have a few questions though:
* What do you want to see/hear from someone's experience with Soylent?
* What tests are worth getting to demonstrate before/after results?
* What are some of the best experiments that have been conducted so far?
The plan is to do a daily video for a month, then a large write-up, and if the trial seems promising, I'll continue with 1-2 videos per week.
There's no "catch" to this — if I'm lucky, ads on YouTube will pay for a day's worth of Soylent — but I do enjoy this sort of thing and plan to put a considerable amount of time and effort into making sure the videos are interesting and informative. (There'll be proper editing, etc.) I also have enough reservations about Soylent that I won't just be spouting their PR copy. I want it to work but I'm prepared to be critical.
If all of that sounds good to you, I'd love to hear your input
TL;DR — I want to do a daily video blog while experimenting with Soylent and want to know what you'd like to see/hear from that video blog. What tests I should get, etc.

Seriously, your skin says a lot about your general health.
Also, try to supplement with Xylitol gum. This will keep you from losing the ability to masticate, as well as help with dental health.
Good luck.
