Sorry, I meant sodium, I realize for table salt you need to add approximately 1.145 g of to get 450 mg of sodium, I apologize if I confused anybody.

Thanks guys. I was a bit leery about clicking cancel, thought for sure I was missing something.

I understand. I had issues in the beginning, but lets compare Soylent/DIY to Chicken Stir Fry at a very high level... Drive to store and park Walk store to find deal on chicken and buy/replenish oil and spices etc Wait in line to checkout Walk back…

No, I don't have an account on the subscription management site. All I have is a backerkit link that doesn't work anymore.

Its most likely that you are using powder, which will definately thicken it up. I use whole husk, which comes more as a flakey texture. This then absorbs and become like little gelatin balls floating at the top the of the liquid. A quick shake before…

HI @JulioMiles, I have already received my first subscription order so, why does my account say my next invoice is 1/2015? Why would there be a break in my service of 3 months? It has taken my body nearly a month to adjust and I don't think either my…

Same here. And there are multiple threads, with many people, complaining about long term gas issues. I do hope it's something Rosa Labs intends to address in future formulas.

A single pitcher can easily last three days with one meal a day. I know it states to consume within 24 hours, but its really more of a guideline. If you keep it refrigerated and only pour what you need each day (a 20oz stainless steel thermos) from…

gambit: My understanding is that not everyone has to have their address confirmed. Do you have a subscription management account on the soylent.me site? Edit: Not that you're responding to me (I notice after I made my initial response.) (As I understand…

I've just pushed a bunch of fixes regarding adding ingredients to recipes. Let me know if there are any more problems.

Please don't confuse salt and sodium. 1000 mg Salt is not the same as 1000 mg Sodium

Ok. Well, it wasn't 100% VAT. The total cost was a sum of three different costs. One was the VAT, one was the toll and one was the administrative fee for declaring the package (paid to the postal company), or something like that. I also seem to have…

Yes.. Yet another falling through the cracks.. @juliomilesIf only there was some way to tell people en masse the status of fulfillment and make sure you guys didn't miss anyone who gave you money for a product.. Its 2014 for crying out loud! Why don't…

I was using http://diy.soylent.me/users/QuidNYC his superfood and then went Keto. I can mix my own but just dread it. It takes time.. I would rather be doing something else then preparing food.

Depends what else you have in your DIY.

Awesome, people who ordered as Non-Backers are getting their orders before me.. great job rosa labs @JulioMiles @rob @ana @MattCauble

Looking into it now... thanks for the reports.

JustinG: Side note - any idea when they are going up to 1500mg? Is that going to be Soylent 1.1? I don't think there's been any official word on that since they're focused primarily on ironing out the supply and distribution challenges. That said,…

Thanks I'm gonna wait until I have a bit more time with Soylent as is before I start modifying, so I can get a better gauge of the effects. But I'll update here once I start taking the salt tablets Side note - any idea when they are going up to 1500mg?…

Yes the oil really needs to go but as I understand it, this is something the Soylent Team are already working on.

Hello, unsynchronized! I am an account manager at BASF in the Human Nutrition division, and please feel free to contact me regarding this product. We are able to provide you with the TG 186 in the US, but the O3C is not available in this region. My…

Sure.... but these are at least college students and I don't think it even takes a college student to realise that international shipping wasn't going to be their only issue right from the get go. It doesn't take a genius to realise that given the number…

That's some really good news as it looks like they are starting to properly catch up.

Thanks, this was done.

FedEx should really work harder at improving itself :/ fire the bad apples, improve the training and perhaps if it is a factor... Better working conditions. I am sure many of the general problems are area specific... But widespread at the same time

I'm having the exact same problems as @PatD. Same results in Firefox, Chrome and Opera.

I ordered a week supply the last week of May, 2014. I received an email the middle of September confirming my address and stating my order would ship "in the next few weeks." So I'm expecting it early to mid October.

It says Signed by: RHID. I don't know that it stands for anything. I assume it's a last name. There are lots of used car lots around here and more than a few of them are run by foreigners so afaik it's just a name.

I've been back on Vicc's Egg Basket for 4 solid days. Hunger: absent. Sugar/Carb cravings: absent. The most important facet of sticking to it, for me, has been getting a mess of screw-top plastic containers to set up more than one day at once. Also…

Condolences on your bad experience... what does RHID stand for? I enjoy colorful acronyms and I hadn't heard that one yet; couldn't find it in a search either. You could message it to me if it's not forum-appropriate.

I thought someone from Soylent had said they thought it was the oats that were the main cause of the gas issues. The farts are not dissimilar to what you get if you eat a lot of Cheerios.

Fyer: This sounds very naive to me if I look at people who are running a multi million dollar business. I have the feeling that you collected the money knowing, that you wont be able to ship the product in the time you estimated. The founders are naive…

@MattCauble @JulioMiles @ana Ace, if you remember the email address you ordered with, i am sure they can figure it out for you specially if it is the same email as you used for your current account on the forums

Tag Julio miles, Matt cauble or Ana and they should be able to help you. There have been some snags in the past few months, but things are moving. Tag by adding an @ onto their name. Also look for shipping in the search tabs

I am an international "backer", and having been part of this forum from almost the beginning... I advice you to not go down the road of asking for compensation, based on multiple similar requests and the outcome being very negatively received by the community…

We agree that the formula is higher than we would like in some of the nutrients and we are working to get some of these down. We'll be updating the nutritional table for our next batches. A lot of common vitamin supplements (for example, berocca) exceed…

Soylent is still better than what my diet was coming in. It sounds to me that the effects need large amounts of the sweetener; maybe before my cumulative amount of aspartame (from coke zero usage) and sucralose intake is too high we'll find an alternative…

Hi Ari, all goods imported into Norway have indeed a customs charge upon entering the country. This is only for products above 200 NOK (as is the case with your Joylent). This customs toll is 25% VAT for most products and 15% for food products (which…

I was very suprised to get an email saying that international orders wont be fulfilled at this point and all orders will be refunded. My main suprise was that it took you that long to recognize it to take this step. I was wondering if you are offering…

Hello, I'm going to say sorry if i'm completely in the wrong here but I need help. I ordered a 2 week supply of Soylent back in mid June and I have no idea what is happening. I paid for it but I just create this profile today and I don't have…

Shame that it tastes like coffee. Ugh.

You'd probably prefer something like 100%FOOD as far as convenience goes. No oil to add, no soak time, comes in bottles just add water. I'd imagine there's DIY recipes that work this way as well.

It's working now. Not sure what the problem was this morning. I actually was able to add the ingredient this a.m. by editing another one with all the data from the new ingredient and it worked. Now I can add from scratch again.

Not sure what your comment was meant to imply. I'm a huge fan of the idea of Soylent and want them to succeed... mainly for my own reasons. I'm just trying to give constructive criticism where due.

My gf was concerned about the gas, as I'm already a farty mf. Day one I had it for breakfast only, day 2 for breakfast and lunch. Both days, my gas was at a lower level than normal. Today is day 3 and did a whole pitcher, plus a little bit of food (handful…

Between this post and your "needs to be more convenient" thread...you are hereby awarded the title of "Daily Diva". Wear the crown well.

I've been on soylent since about May 22 or so and I continue to have horrible gas problems if I try to use it for more than one, maybe two, meals a day. My typical routine is to drink about 1/3 a package/oil bottle for lunch and then sometimes for dinner…

I found a 20oz (the small, more like 16oz usable) blender bottle is just big enough to hold 2-scoops. (plus 2 of water.) Unless I'm starving, I generally split that in half with about a two hour break between. (plus some extra water/sodium later in the…

Vicc: Ordered 1 week off the website after the original funding campaign closed, about mid-may 2014. Waiting on the door step for me when I got home...so it was 4.5 months. Mixed it up (official 1.0) and put it in the fridge. i did thieve a sip out…

I use Soylent daily for lunch at work because I don't want to be away from my desk in the middle of the day. But the fact that I have to measure out exactly two meals worth every two days is a pain in the butt. This product would be much more valuable…

deGrasse is a great guy but he's wrong about some things, such as climate change. Earth had more large creatures and life in general than it did now when it had drastically higher than the current 400 ppm level of CO₂ in the atmosphere. Earth's CO₂ levels…

Am I the only person that noticed the Aussie Soylent formula????? 4000% of your B12 , 728% of your omega 3 fatty Acids per day Is this for real?????????????

For those that promote the idea that it's impossible to corrupt sections of the scientific community or that it's impossible for the establishment to have negative agendas with regards to our food supply etc. I will leave it to someone else to answer…

Your symptoms sound a lot like over eating. We need to change the serving size because frankly 22oz of liquid or even 650 liquid calories is way too much. I usually drink about 12oz at a time multiple times throught the day. I go off of energy needs…

No long term studies have been done on humans, some GMOs may have negligible impact on health, some may have significant, long drawn out negative effects etc. etc. Corporations only concern is profit and thus owning and controlling the entire food chain…

Fresh update of Nutritional Facts or "Why do we claim 100%FOOD to be Organic"

That's a good idea to have a custom vitamin blend, but how to balance macros?

When I premixed extra fiber it got way too thick to drink, so I had to carry/deal with it separately. @MattCauble - I drink 1 meal worth for a meal. (1/3rd a bag / 2 scoops minus early release error / vaguely 150 grams)

(post withdrawn by author, will be automatically deleted in 24 hours unless flagged)

So I just tried mixing prepared Soylent with apple cider in a glass (~1:1) which was OK, but not worth repeating. Also with goat milk (~1:1) and that was pretty nice. I then tried adding more Soylent to the glass and it was still pretty OK. I didn't want…

If you shake with soap inside, it will work, but you have to give it time. Soap will break down oils, but it needs time, because it's a chemical reaction that... well... takes time. My process: First thing I clean is the pitcher. Turn it upside down,…

Cinnamon has saigon cinnamon in it. Chocolate has cocoa powder in it. Plain has no stevia or xanthan gum. That's a good idea about the multi-pack, though I'm not sure I'd want to inflict the "plain" version on anyone who wasn't expecting it...

I prefer to actually drink coffee. Coffee, in moderation, has several different health benefits, and not all of them come from the caffeine. Since I enjoy coffee, I use it to get my caffeine, as well as the other benefits. Per a Mayo Clinic article,…

I think these are all great points. I hadn't thought about this much, but I agree that I notice less grittiness when it's sat overnight. It's also interesting that you think the grittiness might be from something else than the oat flour; I clearly have…

Yes, we had a listing of Keto recipes developed by @QuidNYC and sold by @PurpleLizzard on PowderedFoods.com. But since @PurpleLizzard is in Mexico, after facing some customs problems for shipping to US he withdrawn his listing. P.S. Since you tried 100%FOOD…

What are the flavor ingredients in the different flavors? Any thoughts on doing a multi-pack 30 day package, 1-week each?

Well, I can compare drinking 100%FOOD with plugging to 110V outlet,when I dilute it with Pepsi - I feel that I plugged to 220V.No extra heart beat, but drive...

@scotch1100, I've got a lot of gluten-free recipes, actually:http://custombodyfuel.com/product-tag/gluten-free/ See anything you like?

Generally, I find that oat flour is more fine and less gritty than rice flour. Any grittiness in Soylent is likely from other ingredients, like rice protein.

I've finally released the new formula on my website! Now when you order Schmoylent you'll get the new version, with rice flour instead of maltodextrin:http://custombodyfuel.com/product/schmoylent/ You can also choose to get it in other flavors (cinnamon,…

Hermione: Are tooth and jaw stimulation things we should worry about when we start using Soylent? Probably not, but for whatever reason, its frequently discussed. I like the gum because its helps keep my teeth clean (Soylent likes to stick around…

Yes, I understand. Sadly, these types of threads can sometimes rub people on the other end of the experience the wrong way. That's the only reason I wrote that, so they know our good experiences aren't some jab at them.

You're absolutely right -- there are always going to be outliers in both directions, which stinks for the people who fall through the cracks, etc., and I can't speak to the average response time. Just wanted to make sure people know it's not all problems.

Are tooth and jaw stimulation things we should worry about when we start using Soylent? I had never given it much thought and, like EveB, I really don't enjoy chewing gum.

They were pretty quick to respond to me as well. However, our experiences shouldn't be used to negate or minimize the experiences of some of the other people who may not have received a quick response, imo.

And now @JulioMiles liked this post in just 2 minutes! Records are being broken here!

Since there's a lot of posts on here about emailing the Soylent team and waiting a long time to hear back, etc., I figured I'd let people know that I just sent them email about a new subscription and got a reply back in exactly 6 minutes! I actually…

I bought some Falim gum on Amazon. It comes from Turkey, and contains no sugar or artificial sweeteners. You can get it in plain, mint, and fruit flavors. Even the flavored versions don't have much taste, and it will give your jaws a good workout.

You may also find that using a stick blender to mix the Soylent powder with water will give a little smoother texture. Like jb008, I mix mine the night before, then let it chill overnight in the fridge. In the morning, I add the oil and shake it for…

How much Soylent do you drink for a meal?

Do you let your liquid mixture soak awhile? I've found that letting Soylent chill at least 6-8 hours (I make it the night before I want to consume it) seems to help improve the consistency. I think it's something to do with the oats absorbing some of…

Exciting stuff, when do we find out more about the new formula?

Will these new shippers help you get caught up on the orders? I've been patiently waiting, but I'd really rather not have my shipment sent to me while I'm away for the Saturnalia holiday.

Actually this is the last of our 1.0 formula and our new fulfillment center is packaging these 4 week orders a little differently to clear the inventory. Stay tuned about the new shippers!

I haven't, although I might try it now just to see. I still eat a mix of normal food now and still get mild gas, but its worth a try. I'll give it a go for a week or so and see what happens.

I've been favoring stride lately. Use xylitol, and so long as I remove it when I'm drinking my Soylent, it lasts pretty much all day. The oils in my Soylent seem to break down the gum, though. So it will usually die the second time I drink my Soylent…

I also haven't seen increased gas from the Psyllium husk. If there is, its heavily masked by the rest of Soylent. @snakethejake, have you tried taking a break from it before? I was actually able to stop using the psyllium husk after a few weeks with…

I chew Spry almost exclusively on recommendation of my dentist.. Amazon sales it, it's not the cheapest gum but it's loaded with Xylitol which promotes tooth health.

Looks like we're in the same boat. Working for a supply chain consulting company, I'm super curious to know what kind of challenges they're facing (Need help, Julio? PM me and I'll send someone over to your facility.). In the meantime, patience is key.…

I am nearing the end of Day 4. So far, bowel movements have been solid. My only issue is with bad gas that seems to get worse in the evenings. I am going to get some gas-ex or something and throw in some probiotics in the mix.

Thanks, I just got an email with shipping info! Interestingly there are two tracking numbers (for my 4 week order). They haven't been picked up yet so it doesn't give me info about where they are shipping from (I'm wondering if they will ship from PA…

Personally, I'm basically OK with gas. (I can deal with that part) What I've had a problem with is the general distress, cramping, and resulting lack of sleep. A peanut butter consistency doesn't move well, and is a sure-fire result of even one meal…

You want to know where the ingredients are sourced from? Not what the ingredients themselves are? I haven't seen the information pop up for more than a handful of ingredients (I think the rice protein is from China, but I'm not sure). @MattCauble or…
