Seeing as this doesn't seem to have been answered, for all three previous comments, currently the only method of changing your subscription is to cancel and restart your subscription. This is also the only known way to "pause" your subscription as well.

O_O I'm so sorry. I've been very busy lately, and did not realize how long I've been letting this project languish. I've made some progress on it, though. So hopefully I can find time, here and there, to get it to a usable state soon. So don't worry,…

Interesting; that recipe is pretty simple. I'll edit this with the multivitamin I use in a bit, but I'm curious as to how good it actually is. I did make a slight modification to the recipe though; added about 1 Tsp of Ground Cinnamon, and 1 Tbps of…

So I've tried Joylent and Aussie Soylent now. If you buy Joylent in large quantities it works out pretty cheap but tit for tat Aussie soylent is currently cheaper for their 5day pack vs the 15 meal pack from Joylent. This is because they have a flat fee…

Sold to ravenvii, sorry Noam, they had PM'ed and payed first.

Yeah, I avoid ebay/paypal whenever possible. Horrible company ... High fees.

That's a generous way to pass it on, since you have an eBay account and could sell it there. Someone (Noam, I guess) will be very happy!

contact me @ xxxxxxxxxDo you know how to initiate a PM? Can't figure it out. I know how to reply.Email me jdzz13@hotmail.com

I'm located in Houston and would be happy to take them off your hands. Please PM me. Noam

I just received my backer order, and I no longer need/want it.I tried one pouch., so I have 13 days worth to sell. ** SOLD SOLD ** It includes Soylent Oil Blend. I have excellent feedback under Heatware.com (okashira) and ebay (jdawn11)contact: jdzz13@hotmail.com$115…

Oh, that's make the work much easier. Not only in production, but in explanation. Thanks for good article! I will share it with colleagues on Powdered Foods Marketplace.

Shipping calculators by UPS & USPS are added.Sellers are able to offer Free, Paid and Discounted shipping for products. What is discounted?Since international shipments are rather costly and cannot be offered for free,we made an opportunity to share…

Literally everything is a "chemical". (that term gets thrown around too much, and it doesn't really mean anything on its own) : blogs.scientificamerican.com “Chemical” Is Not a Bad Word | Guest Blog, Scientific American…

The Frigoverre 77-oz glass pitcher is squat and squarish, to fit easily on a shelf instead of in the door, so it doesn't look at all like the Takeya. But really, it's great, and I think the squarish shape, besides making it more space-efficient on the…

Thank you all for letting me know about this. I'm going to request a sample from RFI to run sensory on. If something seems off I'm going to send it to a lab. The last few times we have run a blind test we couldn't find a difference. I'm not saying it's…

Soylent is better chilled.But there're some DIY-blends that supposed for hot consuming.Most popular - Chocolate blend if you fill it with hot water, milk or instant coffee.There are some soup versions also, check Powdered Foods Marketplace for alternatives.

I travelled with bottles of 100%FOOD in my backpack through USA-Russia-Spain-Netherlands-USA.No problems with customs (except curiosity). And regular shipments to many countries justify that soylent is a "customs friendly" product.

Flavor packs: little packets of specific flavors you purchase separately and add when mixing. Natural flavors will change your nutrients profile (calories, vitamins, etc.) Artificial flavors don't, but they are chemicals What do you prefer?

I'd like a way to change subscriptions as well, what if I decide I want to eat more actual food one month? I'm stuck with 28 days no matter what?

A pitcher that looks exactly like the Takeya pitcher... but glass. That'd be the dream. You couldn't believe how much easier it is to wash glass than plastic. With glass you don't even need soap -- it just washes off, just like that.

That's only a month. Looks like Joylent is reaching Soylent levels of productivity.

I would be surprised if it was an allergy. I don't have any reaction to the consumption of Soylent nor do I have any known allergies. It really is as the OP says, a feeling of passing VERY spicy food. I don't know much about biology but I do digest…

Interesting, I'd not heard of them. But the biggest capacity I see at blenderbottle.com is 32oz, not big enough for a full packet of soylent which needs 64. But the "patented BlenderBall(tm)" is cute, I can certainly see Rosa teaming up with blenderbottle…

BlenderBottles have become popular and I think they'd do well to incorporate similar into the starter kit as well as a better shaped pitcher (which I retired when I got this monster 2L thermos). Also helpful would be to use oil bottles with a semi-opaque…

Took some to Ecuador in my Carry on. TSA here and customs there never blinked. I live in Arizona so it's always hot. But I guess you are asking about living in un air conditioned environment. So I can't answer what would happen to the oil in extreme…

Tagging @Leecauble who I believe has taken Soylent out of the country.

It's being discussed here http://discourse.soylent.me/t/soylent-health-tracker-app/16161

I am going to the Dominican for a trip to install a few hundred water filters for poor villages that don't have drinking water. I want to ensure I don't get any food issues so a few things: 1) Has anyone taken this stuff through customs2) Any issues…

I'll estimate Christmas day. EDIT: multiple people have said Christmas. I will adjust to a week before Christmas.

Does anyone drink/use their Soylent hot? I often boil my water for treatment because either the weather is cold or I want my morning tea or coffee. A 2000 calorie packet doesn't come close to the calorie requirements of backpacking. How many packets…

Looks like there's hope! I mixed the pancaky one with some Nesquick as @AgentSpiff had suggested and added 1 teaspoon of honey on top and it is now actually a little bit delicious. Will try it with banana as well when I get the next pack.

You might not think it as stylish but I love my Frigoverre glass pitcher--it's not plastic, it's perfectly watertight, and it's easy to wash (though to wash the lid thoroughly you should take it apart when you do).

To date, that's how they've been advising people to handle it. When you reorder/resubscribe, using your existing email address, they'll treat you as a current rather than new customer.

You'll probably find Soylent too sweet, but the unsweetened dark cocoa trick seems to work for a lot of people with that reaction. Sadly, I like sweets, so it's fine for me, but even I notice the sweetness.

Agreed, if this were a relatively common occurrence it would be all over this board, not just a couple of reports in this topic. I wonder if you're having an allergic reaction to something in the Soylent.

You can try DIY-type soylents that other people make for you from @axcho, @spaceman, or a number of other sellers at the www.powderedfoods.com marketplace. None of them are exactly like Soylent, but they are good small-s soylent options, and you can…

I'm on my 4th week of 50% Soylent, which pretty much makes me an old hand at this, and I've been speculating on what Rosa Labs might, or could, or really ought to do as they develop the product further. Here are some ideas that occurred to me; I hope…

Yup. "Large quantities of purines in the diet create an abundance of uric acid, which has been associated with several ailments, including gout." I am a poster child. Both brewers and nutritional yeast are sources of minerals that seem to be more common…

Thanks all. Really don't know what that was about, but this morning I tried a new bag (prepared last night in a carefully cleaned pitcher) in a clean glass. It also tastes slightly weird... but nowhere near as "off" as the last. I did also just get…

Is there any update on how to pause my subscription? Or must I cancel and resubscribe later?

Gonna necro this thread here, but the alternative was to create my own new one so I'll go with that. Hi! I'm qgroff, a day one backer. I ordered one week at first then a second week 10 days later. I got my Soylent today (only got one week, so I've…

The other thread covers this better, but the new information just explains some of the mechanism, and further confirms, an already known effect- consuming very large amounts of artificial sweetener in zero- or low-calorie foods causes glucose intolerance.…

I am quite looking forward to this. My fiancee and I ordered a 4 week supply each on May 31st.

Got my shipping address confirmation notice! I ordered 4 weeks on May 30, 2014!

This has come up in a couple of other threads already, and most of the discussion has been in this thread... and your link is no good.

Now, I'm going to react to the actual article that was referenced above from the New York Times. I happen to be interested in the issue of the microbiome and what we have been doing to it in recent decades. The article focuses on artificial sweeteners.…

Oh, I do agree. My favourite approach (which I've written about elsewhere) is to train your palate so that you lower your understanding of what amount of sweetness is normal. I find most confectioneries actually gross. I enjoy the baked goods of one particular…

Almost definitely should have received a 4 week order by now. Probably even a 2 week order depending on how you place the 2 orders. If my 1 week order is anything to go by. Email info@soylent.me as per the blog.

Holy crap it's here. Today. In New York. In my fridge. Did you guys use the shipping delay to invent teleportation? Did you take all the crowd funding money and invest in Elon Musk's Hyperloop? If this is indicative of future shipping speed, I'm glad…

I'll argue that sucralose is something we should discuss and argue against using -- we have known for a while that artificial sweeteners aren't good for you, and is actually more unhealthy than sugar. It's not stopping me from consuming Soylent -- I…

Whatever else may decrease reporting it is not embarrassment. Not among this group. In fact, I have learned so much about the diversity of toilet habits and consequences from these forums that I actually feel better about what I consider an atypical crap…

Then if it's so scary, just don't do the Soylent thing. Or if you're that fond of the concept try some of the non-sucralose DIY. I don't understand why you put this amount of time into something that is not a mass concept (the sucralose battle would be…

This is disheartening to say the least; I hope Rosa Labs will be addressing this soon.

Same problem here. I'm quite surprised there isn't more of a uproar about this. It seems to me that Soylent is causing some anal leakage and this is causing a-hole irritation (perhaps due to some of the grit that is contained in the leak?). If I wipe…

I've had my eye on Soylent pretty much since Day One -- before crowdfunding started, and even before Kickstarter turned the project down. I'm a college student on a college student's budget, and I wasn't financially able to join in on crowdfunding when…

A medium banana adds only about 400mg potassium, which is just barely 10% RDA, so it's not enough to be a problem: http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/fruits-and-fruit-juices/1846/2

That's just somebody's DIY soylent they're making and selling themselves, like Schmoylent, Joylent, People Chow, 100%Food, etc. That's not official Soylent from Soylent.me (Rosa Labs).Several of these DIY sellers in the US and EU, but that's the only…

I agree; it is very disappointing that Rosa Labs opted for sucralose in Soylent instead of sugar. I always put sugar in my coffee, never Splenda or any of that crap, for this very reason. I knew artificial sweeteners are bad for you, and sugar (in moderation)…

On September 17, 2014, an article appeared in the New York Times about the probable dangers of consuming artificial sweeteners. This article directly relates to the use of sucralose in Soylent. Because of this article, I most likely will not reorder Soylent.…

Thanks @phazei for such a detailed review. Some clarifications: - we started to use double bags for samples.- Low Carb (Choco & Organic) due to 30% protein occupy much more space then other blends, so I suggest to mix it in a blender or add water into…

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

When I voiced my concern about the use of sucralose in Soylent, I didn't find much discourse on the matter. Then 2 days ago I was reading the New Times, and found this: http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/09/17/artificial-sweeteners-may-disrupt-bodys-blood-sugar-controls/…

I think such posts confirm that Soylent got it's place on a food market.Soon we can expect more reviews about "nutritionally complete food category" and comparisons. Soylent vs. Haute cuisine restaurants?

Dug through my past emails, and it looks like my Soylent payment was charged on 5/29/2013.

Adding berries or chocolate can make a huge difference in the taste.You may check these instructions how to make smoothies or DIY-soylent yummy.

Ordered 1 week supply 1st Dec 2013, still nothing. This blows, i'm the earliest on that unofficial tracker list and still nothing. Alrecenk, do you have the exact date you ordered?

(I posted this on reddit a couple days ago, but I'm hoping it will get some more attention here.) I've been on DIY soylent for the past 3 months, using this recipe. Overall it's been a good run, but I'm getting a little tired of it and am thinking about…

I recall an issue similar to this being brought up in another topic a while back (which I suspect you read as well, being that you included the batch no.) @MattCauble was the one to assist on the issue back then, so I'll tag him in here.

Mushrooshi said: I wanted a response from Rosa Labs themselves about reordering policies.[...]I am willing to let my friends have a taste of my own supply but I will not be buying Soylent on their behalf, unless I learn Rosa Labs encourages the use…

Ohh my mistake. Sorry everyone.

@a5m0, a 4 week order should have shipped by now. Tagging @Ana, @JulioMiles, @MattCauble, to look into it for you.

Yeah I have two orders of 2 weeks of soylent that I paid for April 29th that haven't shipped and no way to check on my shipping address or anything at this point since backerit is down

We sent you an address confirmation request, not a shipping notification! I'm sorry for the confusion! You will receive a separate email once your Soylent ships - we are just trying to make sure we send it to the right place. We are still shipping out…

You can also have multiple orders in at a time, so you can order as many months as you'd like.

I'm using Soylent for around 50% of my meal intake. I have had low energy issues for a long time and I haven't noticed these being exacerbated by Soylent but neither have I noticed a significant increase in energy either. What I'm wondering is if folks…

I've had a few that have a slightly different smell than I initially had, but I chalked that up to mental, it was a more metallic smell, but everything tasted the same. Did you guys eat anything different the day before?

Would be more interested in seeing what percentage of that is reorder.

People alway celebrate Second Monday of October as Columbus day. It is also a federal Holiday in Latin Americas.They do attend Church services,Extra activities that day to celebrate it.I have read that Columbus day will be celebrated on 13 October 2014?…

Because it is nutritionally complete and amazingly lacking in stuff you don't need, you've got some wiggle room to spruce up the mix a little. Remember that it might seem counterproductive if you're looking at the numbers compared to official Soylent,…

No. I wouldn't. People chow is terrible in comparison to Soylent, and it is super easy to make. It would hurt the brand.

That is trite. "Give us more money"? That is such a childish view of the system that has been put in place. People who ordered a lot will take longer to reorder. That is pretty simple. People who ordered a small amount will need turn around and reorder.…

Just in case it is not the batch itself... It could be soap residue on your pitcher, it could be your water that is different.,. Or it could be you two are coming down with something.

I've been using MyFittnessPal to track everything. It's supposed to integrate with Apple Health, but I think there is a bug and they will be fixing it soon.

It could be a case of some pouches no getting mixed correctly. I think I've had a pouch that didn't taste exactly the same as usual, but not bad. I put cocoa powder in mine so that may mask the taste a little. I think they have only made 3 batches so…

That's interesting. I ordered my 1 week in February and haven't seen anything.

My wife was on vacation for a week. During that week I started taking a probiotib. When she came back she made me stop taking the probiotic. Things went back to normal after I stopped taking it. It was a brand from Wallgreens. It was not the 50 billion…

You can reorder 1, 2 or 4 weeks I believe.

Tried to come up with something. It's hardly complete, but take a look. If your soy allergy isn't set off by soy lecithin (most peoples' aren't), I'd add some of that for Choline. Hope you like apples. (I would expect the applesauce to be eaten separately,…

hate to say it, I'm with you. I've been looking forward to this for awhile and one tasted like powdered dirt and the other like pancake batter. the cost of shipping seems to make the others un feasible.heres hoping there's a fix. the premium (powdered…

Agreed, relatively reasonable. It's funny, I guess if your life revolves around food and food choices (like a dietician!) then Soylent is almost antithesis to their entire existence. I agree with most of the "cons", in that they are really more social…

Definitely not vanillin for me, I don't react to it. Mine is apparently Thiamin, Riboflavin, or B-6, not sure which. Taking a few B-100 supplements to test reproduced the Mega Men's effect. Looks like it takes about 1000% of the RDA, which really only…

I use Bob's Red Mill Flaxseed Meal in my DIY to get my omega-3s and fiber up. You can get it at Target and other grocery stores, it's in an opaque bag, just put it in a ziploc in the fridge after opening. I've had no trouble with it going stale/rancid.…

In your shoes, perhaps try GOMAD.Gallon of Milk a Day.Seems like it is about the only thing you can eat that you haven't listed. Maybe throw in some berries or other fruits for antioxidants and such. A multivitamin that doesn't add more calcium might…

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the max reorder at this time is only 1 month

I've been allergic to many things since I was a child. I have scratch tests, blood tests, and testing myself with some foods just lead to more benadryl or gas. My question is if anyone on here is a Nutritionist or would have the time to make a recipe…

You know, I would be surprised if there weren't some bags that taste different from other bags. I don't see how they can evenly mix every bag perfectly every time.

To be clear--you tried aussiesoylent.com's own brand of soylent, not Rosa Labs' Soylent? Since it looks like it, I'm changing the "Soylent" to "soylent" in your headline (the capital S is reserved for the original RL product, not DIY or soylents made…

Try @axcho's or @spaceman's or one of the other powderedfoods.com recipes. Soylent works better for me than any of those, but a lot of people, and you may be one, are the other way around.

Just ordered two samples from http://aussiesoylent.com.au/ and prepared and ate the Premium meal today. Gotta say it was, to be honest, disgusting. It tasted like powdered mixed nuts with added water. For me, if they can make it taste like a less-sugary…

I got mine today as expected. Looks like one week orders are in full swing .
