or not necessarily pills, but more compact ways of getting all of your nutrients

sometimes I just get tired of eating in general, and all of the thought and planning (and preparation) and stuff that can possibly go into it

plus, something like this could be revolutionary in that it could get rid of obesity and perhaps overweight people altogether

I know I'm not the first person by any means to have thoughts like this

I'm just ignorant of news, generally, and wanted to see if there had been any advances in technology


water/liquid is not a problem imo - it's just food that causes complications, it seems

should I make the joke about your weight and then quote "sometimes I just get tired of eating in general" now? or should I wait a bit?

but that bar is still food

and I still have to taste it

I want to kind of bypass the whole taste thing, when and if I choose it

I'm not saying I would want all food to be in pill/vitamin/compact form

just for when I didn't feel like eating



^I'm 5'11" and 200 lbs, so draw your own conclusions from that

i doubt this will happen. i imagine it's pretty hard to pack enough calories into something that small.

plus, patients who go on total parenteral nutrition (nutrition through an IV) develop all sorts of problems long-term because they're not using their gut.

i think pemmican bars are as far as they've come when it comes to food compression. one 2"x3" bar has like 900 calories and 100% of protein and stuff.

900 calories is massive

is that supposed to be your one meal a day?

when i've done extended backpacking trips, we'd do three of those a day sometimes. if you're not hiking for 13 hours a day, though, i imagine one or two would suffice.

anyway, to actually address the topic....


other than astronaut food (a very scientific term, I know), I'm not sure what's out there. I would think that pills wouldn't fill out people's stomach, and they would still feel hunger....still feeling like eating

truly ponderous stuff here

as for not filling out the stomach, it seems like most anything is possible

I mean, like, aspirin covers a very wide area of aches in the body, even though it's so compact

I know that's completely different, but in a way it could possibly be similar

I don't know what I'm trying to say, really

^^^they're filling, yet unfulfilling. you don't get hungry, per se (word on the streets is that they expand once they hit your stomach), but it's not like sitting down to a real meal.

I guess they might include an appetite suppressant in the pill

I mean it's not stupid to make a semi-educated guess on these matters

or even an uneducated one

since I doubt it's even feasible to do what I'm talking about with our current spectrum of knowledge

Oddly enough, reading skimming this thread has made me quite hungry. For real food, I mean.

as opposed to a "smart" thread?

why do you have to rag on the thread itself

it's not like it did anything to you

I'm going to second what someone said about TPN (total parenteral nutrition) -- it can cause liver, gall bladder, and other problems.

You can always go with tube feeding, but it has its own problems. Not only can they become occluded, the boluses can take quite some time. Some people spend 14 hours a day on a continuous feed. When Silas was on a feeding tube, I felt like all I did was tube feed. Not to mention, if you go with something like a nasogastric tube, you have to deal with issues like skin breakdown from adhesives etc.

You can always drink your meals. Silas lived off of Strawberry Pediasure for two months straight. And when I was pregnant with him, I lived off of Vanilla Ensure for much of my pregnancy.

yeah, food is obnoxious, but the problem is also with being hungry. Yeah, I'd bypass food if I could...and if I wouldn't get hungry as well or could drink soemthing/take a pill to make me full.

I, too, like to eat food.

Usually... except when I'm in a hurry to do something else.

Good food in powder form. Still need some fat, calories, and protein to live on, but this is a good supplement.

I'm not saying you couldn't eat

I'm just suggesting alternatives to it
