About Ian P. Christian

This site belongs to Ian P. Christian. Working in IT, I'm naturally a very scientific person. I like to apply my experimental, data-driven, and logical approach on keeping fit. I'm constantly striving more efficient ways to keep fit and healthy. The health and fitness industry exists largely though the ability to sell misinformation with sensational headlines; however there's better ways. I've found a lifestyle that allows me to keep fit without it affecting my spare time and with minimal effort.

I’ve previously spent a week consuming nothing but Soylent Life (a food replacement shake), and have become a big fan of Huel in the past – however I wanted to see what else was out on the market. I got my hands on a sample pack of Purition and was […]

One week on Soylent

After 3 days without solid food, I’m pleased to report I’m still alive! I almost feel like the experiment so far has been a bit of an anti-climax. I can’t say that I feel awful and that living on Soylent is a horrible idea, but I can’t say that […]
