I don't know what your situation is. But for me, I've gotten when I need more of a particular nutrient, and when my metabolism shot up. If you're not craving anything, I'd guess it was either the withdrawal mentioned or perhaps your metabolism is kicking…

I have been of Soylent over 3 weeks and are doing like you sipping as hungry comes upon me.I usually eat something at night before going to sleep lately. Rolf above has a point sugar as in sugary food or drink is rapidly metabolized by our body. Insulin…

You say you have an over eating problem and your trying to fix it with Soylent. I am assuming this means your currently overweight and your trying to fight it. Its possible you may be cutting to many calories to quickly. This can cause your body to rebel.…

No, two week, I got my backer stuff a week and a half ago, this is my subscription for a months worth.

This is the vitamin I use. If anyone has any recommendations on something better, please do let me know... www.amazon.com Paradise Herbs Orac Energy Multi One Vegetarian Capsules, 30 Count About this item …

I just ordered the 100% FOOD Double Protein Organic. It arrived yesterday, so I'm trying it for the first time in my breakfast this morning. (Note: I'm not exactly using it in the intended way. My plan is to split one bottle into breakfast and lunch every…

"satisfying" or "satiating" would be better terms for that.

Hi @daveyh ! After a quick search on the DIY website, it seems that nobody is using lupine flour as an ingredient. So it is probable that there may not be any other opinions, because nobody else tried it.

So by your logic, those allergic to Penicillin should be all over the net talking trash about Alexander Fleming then. The point is, get over yourself. A single product doesn't work for you. Move on.

@Neebs57 are you a one week backer??

Rosa Labs claims that Soylent is what the body needs, nothing more. From what I can recall, tequila producers don't make this claim.

Lessons learned today, no new video of my cat trying to get in the shot

This topic is now closed. New replies are no longer allowed.

To Ambronite, I have high iron percentage in my blood stream. I want to test out Ambronite. Is there a way to make Ambronite Iron free? If not, what amount of iron did you settle on? Thanks.

Thanks. Interestingly enough, I already got a shipping notice. Perfect timing as I just got another long trip scheduled.

Tequila makes me a mean drunk. You won't find me on a Jose Cuervo web site decrying... "Is this what American drinking has come to; Cuervo Gold or Zima?"

Any other opinions on the taste??

OK so it arrived and I have tried the premium pack - not too bad.I am very disappointed there is no pricing information for the product, other than the extortionate $18/day (+ delivery ) price of the sample pack ( well that's an average price, I suspect…

"FORMULATED SUPPLEMENTARY SPORTS FOOD. NOT TO BE USED AS A SOLE SOURCE OF NUTRITION." Just a quick look and it's missing Vit. K so that's as far as I got. It may be useful for people mixing a custom blend. I'm not looking for a powder. I want to take…

kgme said: Hopefully that 1-2 week delivery time is accurate or I'll run out of my current 2 week supply. According to the email I got when I reordered: your reorder should ship in 1-2 weeks. So that is when it will be shipped, not delivered. I reordered…

That's why it says "off topic" in the title, AND it's listed under the "other" heading. I only asked because there are some very smart people here. But nevermind. Delete this, or whatever.

I wonder if your body got used to sugary stuff you added and wanted more of it?

I just came across this - being sold as a vitamin mix for people making their own meal replacements: http://www.bulknutrients.com.au/buy/vital-pre-mix-vitamin-mineral-mix/VITALPREMIX I have no idea if it's complete - I just thought some of you might…

dude i don't know why you come here and ask about iOS development if, thats totally wrong topic, but if it has something to do with soylent, then type it in your post and your not off topic anymore. As of now it's just way off topic

I've been on Soylent for a couple weeks now and never really had major hunger issues(even when I didn't finish the whole days worth). But now, I'm just constantly hungry, I'm not getting full, but I'm not having cravings either. Part of me thinks that…

I've had a few friends interested in Soylent, but are scared off by 4-6 month backlog. Is it considered an "abuse" of privilege for me to order my friends some Soylent via my account? Would one-time be fine, vs them continually reordering through me?…

Hey @puzzlepiece Thank you for letting us know! You should have just received a tracking number for your shipment to be sent out tomorrow. Please let me know if you have any more questions. Matt

That's a debatable statement... Canola oil lowers LDL cholesterol more than olive oil. Meanwhile, olive oil reduces your blood flow, while canola and fish oils do not. The two oils have different plusses and minuses. It's just popular, lately, for the…

An experienced iOS developer? I've got an idea for an app, but lack the technical skills to make it happen. I suppose I'm looking for a mentor/partner/team to help me evaluate the idea and try to turn it into an actual app. So, anyone?

The "yo-yo" effect isn't caused by what they ate while dieting, it's caused by what they ate when they stopped dieting. I appreciate that you're trying to learn something, but I'm afraid you're barking up the wrong tree. If you combine a bunch of anecdotes,…

Have you any experience getting it through Brazilian customs? I've ordered 2 mo the of my own but it has been stuck in customs for over 7 weeks, with the Brazilian FDA asked for a doctors prescription. If it gets sent back, I could have it redirected…

Got my subscription shipping notification today, thanks!

Sorry to hear about your poor experience with the HydroFlask. Definitely get a new bottle. I've had mine for a few months now, and it's working quite well for me, despite having dropped it while full, onto the asphalt parking lot at work. It landed on…

I'm in the same boat. I'm a 1 week backer who jumped on the crowd funding campaign when it opened. Got an email on 8/18 for address confirmation and nothing since. I figure I've got to be pretty close to the front of the 1 week orders queue, so I'm back…

It would be great to be able to estimate shipping without creating an account first.

@axcho, the new Schmoylent is good, but I definitely like the older one better. I drink immediately after mixing and the new formula seems thinner and less sweet. I also seem to get more of a sugar spike with the new formula. I crash a couple hours…

I've been thinking more and more about this, and I've got a few questions. Firstly, when you say 1 cup OJ/Milk, do you mean one cup, or one glass? Secondly, about how much would you estimate this costs per week? Lastly, I'm kinda dumb when it comes…

"[O]ver 70% of tropical deforestation worldwide is due to commercial agriculture."

I too have a question about my Soylent reorder. I placed a reorder on August 27. The subscription page shows that it is shipping in 10-12 weeks. I ran out of soylent 2 days ago, 2 weeks after I placed the reorder. I'm curious when my order will ship.…

I agree with you that it cannot be a mainstream, but the approach!They noticed a growth of powdered food category and try to adjust their products for our needs. P.S. Today they sent me an offer with Clary protein powder

BulkBeast said: On the unofficial shipment tracker link that Nuclear Tree Frog posted. It shows a few 1 weekers that got theirs but not many. Hopefully they haven't stalled again.. I think the dates are more interesting than the weeks - last one from…

I can say without a doubt that "food anxiety" or "nutrition anxiety" is probably one of the biggest rewards to using Soylent. I used to always be trying to balance and track my daily meals against my needs and then fill in the blanks with supplements…

On the unofficial shipment tracker link that Nuclear Tree Frog posted. It shows a few 1 weekers that got theirs but not many. Hopefully they haven't stalled again..

My follow-up: I decided to re-order my DIY ingredients and see if I'm just imagining things. The change was pretty immediate. I'm not sure what ingredient in Soylent was causing me to be so lethargic, but I can confirm that moving back to DIY resolved…

I agree with MentalNomad. Just because you and your friend are not vegan doesn't mean he/she wasn't quoting them without realizing it. People do it all the time. Thats how many mythes of all kinds get perpetuated.

Has anyone tried doing this for the added benefit of Anti-oxidants??The capsules add only 5 calories and are about $24 per month. Just wondering if anyone has done this. I am still waiting for my Soylent, ordered in June, hoping for January.

Actually the olive oil is healthier than Canola and if he adds the fish and flaxseed oils like I suggest the ratio should be much healthier.

Remember the DIY soylent has no preservatives and letting it sit, even in the fridge, for extended periods isn't a great idea. After about 48ish hours I've noticed a hiss when I open the container and if I look closely enough I can see little bubbles…

I've had good experience with Maseca. Keep in mind that any kind of flour is not going to be water salable. You do eventually get used to the grittiness and don't notice it after a while. Always shake/swirl your soylent before pouring into a glass and…

@JulioMiles @MattCauble I am seeing my next billing date as Jan 2015 also for a month supply subscription. I ordered in May however. Is something wrong? Thanks for your help.

I agree that she should not double up on vitamin supplements - however, if that doesn't work - (I can't believe I am posting this)I've been doing the 100%FOOD diy soylent for 5 weeks now. It didn't take long before I noticed a pleasant scent there.…

I I think I think they stalled again. I'm a one week backer too.... All the activity I see are reorders or mess ups, but I don't see any one Weekes really get theirs yet...

Thanks Matt! @MattCauble

Thanks for kind words,We're in beta yet, so if you find a bug - pls. post it here.

Haven't had a chance to dig deeper but it seems like a big improvement...I like it front end too...GUI is more professional imho.... http://www.powderedfoods.com/#!marketplace/c1p9k

An agenda? Really? I supported Soylent on Kickstarter! I wanted this to work for me. You tell me; why do I get headaches? Why do I get dizzy? Why do I feel lethargic? Why do I get numbness in my arms and hands right after I take Soylent? .... and then,…

Yes, I agree with you that deficit between intake and calorie spent is the first step.But I want to go deeper. We have a speed of loosing weight and we have a "yo-yo" effect when the weight gets back...

It was concluded that though maltodextrins appeared to be significantly less acidogenic than 10% sucrose, they can lead to a substantial drop in plaque pH and may, therefore, have a potential to cause demineralisation of enamel. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0300571201000343

@MattCauble by any chance do you know if my subscription is scheduled to ship today? I'm also close to running out. Note: I have two active two-week subscriptions, and am referring to the one that was billed on 8/25.

Thanks for the info. Hopefully it ships soon!

I believe they are just starting to ship one week backer orders so it shouldn't be too much longer but maybe someone else has a better idea than I do. You can check the unofficial shipment tracker to get an idea of what's going on. http://diy.soylent.me/shipment-tracker

Your subscription is scheduled to ship out today. You should receive it by Thursday.

It is quite satiating if you drink 1 cup. You won't get hungry again a short time later like when eating a candy bar.

I ordered 1 weeks worth on 6/15/13.

They aren't sending out the address confirmations in order so I believe that there will be various answers to your question. How much Soylent did you order and when did you order it? That will give you a better idea of when it's coming.

I received an email on 8/18 asking me to confirm my shipping address and that my soylent would be shipping in the next several weeks. It's been a month since then and after that i haven't heard anything else. Just curious how long it took other people…

Hi Frelon @frelon , I've just run your order number through our system and I have seen that the delivery was unsuccessful, meaning there was an attempt to bring the package home to you. Can you send me an email at pablo@joylent.eu with your correct…

Hi @NinoJoylent, @PenaAbellan @Koningsbruggen As written in a previous post, I still have no news of my Order #1222 of 76€ paid more than one month ago (11th of August). No shipment followup provided, no answer to my emails or messages on joylent.eu,…

There is another thread on this subject.

I received tracking info yesterday for an order placed Aug 28th, if that helps.

Recently I was asked what inspired me to get with Soylent, here's my response, Tyranny of fuel for my health. When I try to eat healthy I spend too much time wading through ingredients I don't like, then planning things that I can fall into when I'm…

JustinG said: I got an email from him on the 11th saying he was sick all last week and my order would go out early this week. Haven't heard since. Hopefully he's ok - but I would like an update as well I heard the ingredients he was using caused him…

I received my Soylent and am now on week 2, I will be out of Soylent by Sunday. I put in a subscription but just want to verify when/if it will ship to continue using soylent daily for a bit. @MattCauble @JulioMiles

I got an email from him on the 11th saying he was sick all last week and my order would go out early this week. Haven't heard since. Hopefully he's ok - but I would like an update as well

Paging axcho..Trying to reach you....

I thought I read somewhere that an entire day's worth of Soylent is 2,500 calories, but at the top of this thread, it said the day's amount is worth 2,000 calories. Which figure is absolutely correct? Edit: oh wait, this says that it's worth 2,010 calories.…

Hey, I'm from the UK and I have 5 days worth of Soylent (without oil) here to sell to anyone that lives in the UK. Let me know if you're interested - I'm not planning on selling it for the ridiculous prices that appear on Ebay. Cheers

I asked above but not sure if he checks the forums... Hard to tell exactly but I would guess it's a housing development? But I don't really get to that side of Melbourne very often so I am not sure. I figured I'd try the sample pack - even made in a house…

The idea comes from this interesting article on the NYT:http://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/14/opinion/sunday/should-we-all-take-a-bit-of-lithium.html Is adding small amounts of lithium to Soylent conceivable in your opinion?

opethbass said: Saturation: One cup saturates for two hours. Properties are OK. What does this mean? opethbass said:

Is this packaged in an approved facility or from someones garage?

I'd like to give a short Review, as well: Shipping: It needed a few weeks bebause of an error. But it arrived and support was good. Packaging: The powder is in simple zip bags, which are not very airtight and are not vapour sealed. The oil is stored…

After 2 days in, you go from excitedly testing Soylent to a Meghan Telpner acolyte? Really? Every post since then has been anti-Soylent. I thought you were keeping an open mind? No offense to @Spaceman, but I get the impression that his posts have less…

I ordered on Monday and got it Tuesday morning - so the shipping is quick! Haven't tried it yet as I already had 2L mixed up.

@axcho published this recipe which is staggeringly simple and, except for the specific multivitamin that you might have to order, no problem from any grocery store. Other than the vitamin it's just oat flour, whole milk and iodized salt, and while it's…

Just ordered myself a sample pack of Aussie Soylent. Pretty excited. I ended up having to cancel my Joylent (Netherlands) order and get a refund, because they couldn't answer any of my questions about how long it might take to get to me. Ah well. They…

I don't think Clary Sage oil is meant to be a major far source in food. It sounds like an aromatherapy oil.

I apologize if this is off-topic, but every time I look at this thread's title, I think "The snozzberries taste like snozzberries!"

You should read the first sentence of this thread, if you suspect any misunderstanding. You might also want to read the article, if you've confused an opinion article for the research it references. You could also bring up any scientific evidence that…

Update The soylent didn't seem to have any chunks when I got it out to drink it; at which point it had been sitting for almost 24 hours. I shook it anyways and I cannot tell any difference in flavor or texture. Interestingly, it also seemed like the…

Love the cat photobomb. 😻

Thanks for sharing, Neebs! I don't mind the level of pep.

I'm not using the vitamin powder in my soylents any more. Everything tastes better without it. I take the vitamin powder separately with water and shoot it. When I've used up my powder, I'll go back to the tablet version.

frank_crook said: your body functions better with lithium than it does without, as evidenced by the crime and suicide data in the research cited by the NYTimes article. Be careful about the strength of your opinion versus the strength of your evidence…

New video, and update, sorry I still haven't got that pep

You can't compare these without knowing how much of a calorie deficit it is for each user. That is, how many calories do they need per day, and how many are the consuming in soylent. Calories needed minus calories consumed is the deficit. Without the…

How are you preparing this? If there's cooking involved, I'm not sure it's saving you time... and if there's raw egg involved, you should not be preparing it in advance if there's any chance of the egg being warmed up (preserve the cold chain for food…

I think this explanation of the effects of "excess protein" is a common overstatement made by proponents of veganism and raw foodists. I used to believe and make this same overstatement, myself, 24 years ago. My current understanding is that protein…

Test kitchen this weekend. I'll post results.

I'm interested in the Biscotti recipe. Sounds great.
