Finished Day 4 on this and am still kicking. I cheated a bit the first day or two to ease in but now it's making up 90-95% of my diet with no issues. Logging my experience here: http://clanmxm.com/kotaco
HoleyHouseOfAir - Aug 04, 2014 1:27am
Some ingredients like seeds will have to be ground up first, im going to order all the ingredients and try this out so ill post a finalised recipe and maybe look into getting the final soylent nutritionally profiled.

Anyone here who's been using Liquid Cake for any extended period of time (a week or more)? Thoughts / comments about your experience and also how you feel? I'm considering trying it out! Would love to hear your thoughts...!

De eerste 3 dagen kun je hoofdpijn krijgen, bij mij was dit 1 dag, ik gebruik soylent nu 2 weken (6 dagen per week), op zondag doe ik geen soylent, ik eet dan veel gestoomde groenten, fruit, quinoa, vis, ei, geen rood vlees meer, kortom zo veel mogenlijk…
Guest - Aug 03, 2014 10:20am
Personally, I would consider getting a greater variety of proteins. Whey protein is supposed to be very fast-digesting and causes a bit of a spike in your blood amino acid levels I think. Like some milk, yogurt, or soy flour (I use all three). Or casein…

Apparently oils that are labeled "Vegetable Oil" can be Soybean Oil, you just have to check the ingredients list.

Okay , thank you!

sry, I don't speak german. Flag is b/c I hoped to order this from (as it says) amazon.de, so I though people would find it most practical here - and so it calculates the prices in euro. Well, that plan fell through, since amazon.de doesn't ship foodstuffs…

I would also like to see some updates in the notes section about how to prepare this meal. What is recommended?

Would love to hear some peoples comments how this recipe. I just ordered a majority of the items but didn't order the veg oil or the salt as i can pick these up easily from the store. I'm 23, weigh about 130lbs and about 5ft 10. my metabolizm is very…
Ragdoll - Aug 02, 2014 8:57pm
Cult you should make it more obvious that the link for the whey takes you to unflavoured and not vanilla, I made that mistake and im sure a few others have too.
Ragdoll - Aug 02, 2014 8:39pm
yes its 500ml per serving, Of course you can change that to suit your preferance.

Isn't the level of iron too high? The NHS, in the UK, states that doses over 20mg can cause constipation, nausea, vomiting, and stomach pain. This recipe has 23mg. Source: http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/vitamins-minerals/Pages/Iron.aspx

Try cutting out the MCT oil and reintroducing it gradually. That stuff is brutal, at least for some stomachs. Pretty ominous that a foodstuff says "For adult consumption only" on the label
Axl - Aug 02, 2014 3:36pm
Liest sich gut, hat das hier schon jemand realisiert? Die Zusammensetzung sieht auch soweit schlüssig aus, evtl. noch etwas Geschmack an die Sache.
Thiima - Aug 02, 2014 1:28pm
I've had my first try at mixing this with a few slight changes (I was overruled on the vanilla whey flavour so ended up with chocolate) and managed to make a complete mess of the kitchen when trying to mix it. Looking at the comments below I mixed in…

JohnLikesFood - Aug 02, 2014 12:13am
I can confirm this. I received all my other ingredients in the same time it took the GNC Mega Men to leave the Fish Pond warehouse.
abemore - Aug 01, 2014 5:30pm
It can't be both bodybuilding and weight loss. Pick one.
[mXm] kotaco - Aug 01, 2014 4:12pm
I'll be the odd one out here. The taste isn't very good. The texture is even worse.
bioelectromecha - Aug 01, 2014 1:20pm
Considering adding boiling/hot water to oat flour a few minutes before adding the rest of the ingredient. Not enough information to determine benefits for now. Unsure whether boiling/hot water will effect other ingredients.

There is no difference between regular oats and instant oats for our purposes

Hi. Do you have the recipe for this? I'm just starting up and was hoping to find a recipe that can help me :-) Kind regards, Ditte

Add the tablets with water first and mix it all. Then add the berries (yes, it's a bit of cheating but it tastes great) and finally the powders.
Stevenvd - Aug 01, 2014 7:28am
Hah juist helemaal niet. Voorheen wel af en toe maar dat gebeurd met studentenvoedsel
tvph - Aug 01, 2014 5:11am
I agree, the taste is fine. It's not too overpowering and tastes just like chocolate due to the cocoa powder. I haven't noticed any sour aftertaste but the longest I've left mine in the fridge is for ~14 hours. I usually leave it in the fridge for…
elrik - Aug 01, 2014 4:21am
Your sulfur content for whey protein isolate is too low.
Duskwave - Aug 01, 2014 3:40am

Added full cream milk powder, it'll cost a bit more but the taste is unreal. Texture is now creamy as before it had the same texture as water which made me want to drink water
Moose312 - Jul 31, 2014 7:59pm
Oddly enough, I actually really like the taste. If you like chocolaty drinks and/or food, you will like this. I have a pretty picky pallet so I was surprised how pleasant it actually has been. For some reason, I do notice a sour aftertaste occasionally…

Some of the pills say 0.1 or 0.2. how do we prepare those? Do you put those in the grinder and weigh them? or do you just eat one whole one?

tastes pretty fucking good. Second soylent i've tried, i'm not sure if you can get that flaxseed in a powder because the meal gives it a gritty texture. if you can let me know cause that's my biggest gripe with it at the moment I'm going to keep experimenting…

The only thing that bothers me about this recipe is the Vitamin E amount. It is well within "safe" protocols, however, "Repeated daily doses of vitamin E of 400 IU or more, or above 267 milligrams per day, are associated with an increased risk of death,…

benssson - Jul 30, 2014 12:35pm
I've changed my recipe to use 125g whey protein and 125g maltodextrin as I've got no interest in losing weight. I've also used unflavoured whey but I've found the taste too unpleasant and salty. I've had to add some strawberry nesquik (even more sugar!)…

Awesome thanks for the detailed reply mate. Really appreciate that you're sharing your experiences, has made it much easier for me to jump on diy soylent train. Loving the convenience of it all so far, and the sustained energy throughout the day is amazing.
cuItofmonkey - Jul 30, 2014 4:22am
Sorry about that. Prices seem to fluctuate more often for some ingredients compared to others. I'm trying to keep it constantly updated, which includes making some minor changes. The recipe should remain the same however.
vwbugg - Jul 30, 2014 3:49am
You are looking at the wrong number. The 3 grams is per 100 grams of Masa. Close the individual ingredient popup for masa and instead scroll right to see the total fat for the Masa ingredient which for this recipe is 13 grams. With so many different…

vwbugg - Jul 30, 2014 3:39am
1., Yes DO NOT drink a whole days worht at once. Most of us split this into 4 servings of about 1 cup powder each. 2 Vanilla is also a good option 3 There is no way around the 345 g of masa, that is the carb source. You could find a diufferent carb…
vwbugg - Jul 30, 2014 3:30am
Remeber that Soylent had delivery problems because they were waiting for that Super Duper Extra fine smooth as silk Rice Flour. Nothing we do will duplicate that. That being said here are my suggestions. Try a different brand of masa, manufactureing…
vwbugg - Jul 30, 2014 3:16am
Most manufactures put the minimum required by law on their packaging, but that does not mean the nutrition label list everything. Unfortunately this whole process is best educated guess. I went with usda's unenriched masa amounts. I do recommend however…
vwbugg - Jul 30, 2014 3:07am
Thats about the amounts i have used in mine ( http://diy.soylent.me/recipes/minimal-tortilla-146 ) Just be aware that the reason oat was avoided for PeopleChow was that it causes gas for a while as your body adjusts, This might not happen might last days…
vwbugg - Jul 30, 2014 3:01am
This version of the recipe has been around since October, the prices have been there longer than that. The prices will never be updated.
vwbugg - Jul 30, 2014 2:58am
You have a couple of choices. Trust the recipe, or pull the amounts from the label. This recipe uses "NOW" whey protein which has the amounts listed on the label. Many of us use "Hard Rhino" because unless things change it is basically the same but…

It does NOT taste good when mixed as-is. The only flavors present are bitter or neutral. This is why official Soylent 1.0 has sucralose--to offset the bitterness. Adding frozen fruit and/or some kind of sweetener makes a world of difference. I'm using…
