Hmm.
Okay, now let's get to the details.
Calculate in grams the daily amount of protein/fats/carbohydrates/vitamins that is essential for life? Carbohydrates come out to about 240 grams in pure form. And then there's the question of absorption, and the question of whether 240 grams of carbohydrates _at once_ is too much.
So, as you can imagine, the option of "eating a pill and not eating for a week" is not viable.
The option of "eating a pill and not eating all day" is more realistic, but again, goodbye liver.

In other words, options like "take a pill and don't eat for a week," as you can imagine, are not viable.
Options like "take a pill and don't eat all day" are more realistic, but again, goodbye liver.

Well, firstly, it's not "swallowed," but taken. Pigs eat. Secondly, have you heard of glucose, which is introduced into the blood of people in a coma to sustain their lives? Thirdly, you simply don't believe in the possibilities of modern biochemistry.

You don't need that much energy in a coma.

Thirdly, you simply don't believe in the possibilities of modern biochemistry.

I'll give you clear figures: 240 grams a day, which is more than a kilogram a week. Glucose is just another carbohydrate, only already broken down into relatively simple molecules. The numbers don't add up.

Well, firstly, he didn't "devour" them, but rather "absorbed" them. Pigs are the ones who devour. Secondly, haven't you heard about glucose, which is administered to people in comas to sustain their lives? Thirdly, you simply don't believe in the possibilities of modern biochemistry.

The first point is sophistry, and it goes very, very deep because sophistry is practiced elsewhere.
The second point – does religion prevent you from googling what glucose is? It is precisely a carbohydrate. And it is slowly and constantly dripped into the blood through an IV because a LARGE amount of glucose at once can lead to diabetes (one of the tests for diabetes involves giving a suspected diabetic a lot of concentrated glucose and then checking their urine. If they have diabetes, it will be very evident), and if you drip it in small amounts, you can get the same 240 grams over 24 hours.
Regarding biochemistry – I believe in biochemistry, but "tablets instead of food" is the realm of science fiction because the conservation of mass has not been canceled.

They might be able to invent a pill that suppresses the _feeling_ of hunger. But that still won't eliminate the need for food.

You're saying a lot, aren't you? So, let's assume that as a result of the reaction between the tablet and the acid in the intestine, foam is formed. And there you have it – mass.

O_O
Foam is about volume, not mass!!!
If some nasty substance reacts with sodium chloride (stomach acid) and produces A LOT of foam, it could end VERY badly. At the very least, you'll be going to the bathroom with foamy liquid and, excuse me, passing gas through all available orifices. At worst, the pressure could rupture your organs.

Do you want to digest yourself, or something? To get mass?

Okay, fine. I might have exaggerated a bit about the week's worth of pills. Let's say one pill a day. The point isn't the number of pills, but whether this can replace food.

Again, that's only 240 grams of carbohydrates per day.

A 240-gram portion is fine :) And it's enough for someone with anorexia. But if you want the body to function properly, it wouldn't hurt to add some vitamins, protein, and a little bit of fat.

Hmm... So, esteemed Tengro and Ment, do you believe that creating such potions is completely impossible? Even highly concentrated ones?

And yes, I understand that doing all of this at once won't be very good for the liver.

Yes, IMHO, such pills (specifically, those that _provide a feeling of fullness_, rather than _create the illusion of fullness_) belong in the realm of science fiction.

Spot on. And if you want to consume less food while getting more nutrients, there are options available even now. For example, you can eat only sugar, meat, and lemons and carefully adjust the quantities to meet your needs.

Here, maybe this will be of interest to you? Not exactly a miracle cure, but something.

sugar, meat, and lemons

Unfortunately, all of this is grown and slaughtered.

These are high-protein items with artificial hormones added, if I'm not mistaken. They significantly shorten lifespan.
