You might want to check your numbers on the milk. I show 245g per cup of milk. I currently use about 1.5 cups or 367g.

For myself I'd say volume hasn't changed a bit. Consistency has though, I've moved up probably half to a full point on the bristol scale (from like a 1.5 to a 2-2.5).

No. I'd say it is 40-60% less.

As far as volume, do you defecate the same amount as with traditional food?

Got it, LondonBenji POST MUST BE AT LEAST 20 CHARACTERS

I submitted an order on 05/31 but didn't realize shipping time was so long. No complaints here but I have gone a different route and would like to cancel. How can I do this?

I was going once or twice a day before- probably every other day now. The Bristol scale doesn't really get to the heart of the issue except to say that I am now a consistent 4 and can't see how I'd EVER vary from that while consuming Soylent, whereas…

What you all are describing is the difference between the bodies short medium and long term energy needs. There are different types of carbohydrates, and any athlete or long distance runner would attest to the variety of hearts that they take before running…

Well if we're just suggesting taglines: For people. By people. Not people.

Good question! I don't actually know...... will need to find out.

Benji, what's your myfitnesspal username?

My Account is torrentX

I already have a MFP account so I'd be in.

USPS pickups confirmed and tracking numbers sent!

Would be interesting to build a tracking group on myfitnesspal to see how peoples stats are panning out after starting soylent. Who's in? List your myfitnesspal username if you are in. Don't have my Soylent yet, but mine is rooper66

I don't bother cooking my oat flour, but if I understand correctly, just spread it out on a shallow pan and put it in the oven for a while. Maybe someone else can advise how long and at what temperature?

I generally give my thermos a quick shake every time I drink, just for good measure. Maybe not necessary but, gives me peace of mind. =)

I just mixed my first batch (in a blender), it's been about 10-15 minutes since I shook it last. There looks to be oil visible on top now, so it'll probably need a good shake whenever you grab it. The rest seems to still be mixed fine, won't know for…

How long does it take to separate again? Like, I mix up my Soylent the night before, in the pitcher, and then I pour it into a portable vessel to take to work... will I have to reshake it every time I want a sip, or is it good for the morning?

So I hear many people mention cooking their oat flour before using it help with the digestion. I have not started soylent and am in the process of collecting information and materials. I usualy have an iron stomach and could deal with the raw flour…

Just had my first day on soylent.I can see what you are referencing. Just went on a 1.5 hour ride on my bike with just water. But also my intent for something like cycling is to have a diluted soylent bottle, though I haven't an idea for running yet.…

My cousin has a small home baking business in North Carolina. She had to submitt water sample results among other things to the health department to sell her cakes. When Soylent was In beta there was a reason it was limited to only a few testers. When…

@Alrecenk - you raise up a good question. As @axcho mentioned - our rationale is based on the current status quo in the peer-to-peer economy (Uber, Lyft, Airbnb, etc.) where donations turned from loophole into "way of making business". But, I do not…

Can you be a bit more verbose? What was your pooping frequency before? Do you still go once a day? Is it less? What is it on the Bristol stool scale before and after?

I did do one batch early on with kinda lukewarm water, and didn't notice any difference. I haven't had any trouble mixing with normal cold water so haven't bothered with anything else.

@vanclute have you tried to use warm/hot water from the sink at first and then let it chill in the fridge before drinking? I know many things mix better in warm/hotter water. Not boiling water (as we don't want to cook this).

ajlipp said: I wonder what will happen to a stomach and digestive system that no longer is asked to digest anything solid. This has actually been brought up before. I don't have the quote offhand, but the general idea is that food is converted to…

Fairly long. For a full BlenderBottle full I used between 20-40 drops. I've probably had about 15 bottles of Pecan Praline and the tiny sample bottle I got is still half-full.

Really excited about this!!

If I eat nothing but Soylent for two years, and then one day I eat spicy chicken wings and a big ribeye steak, won't that cause my system to freak out? No one knows. I imagine it will be a bit upset. But it would get used to this other diet within a…

Wow, I just looked up their website and I can't believe the range of flavors that they have listed. I had no idea this sort of product was available. I might have to try some of these. What sort of amount did you need to use for the flavor to come through…

My human stomach and digestive system have been processing the food I've been eating my entire life. I wonder what will happen to a stomach and digestive system that no longer is asked to digest anything solid. Will that cause some digestive functions…

There is always something to be said for a little "recharging" now and then. If that's a meal, great. If it's meditation, going for a walk, a brief nap, or playing with your cats (my personal favorite!) then that's all equally valid. =) Humans definitely…

This would seem to make sense from a systems point of view. Soylent appears to be extremely efficient in terms of delivering on a set baseline of nutrition. Most highly efficient systems are not resilient - that is there is not a lot of "slop" or inefficiencies…

More shipments going out today! Pictured here is a box of People Chow Plus going out to @warnett, my first repeat customer, and a box of People Chow Plain for @rebecka_flatt. Other boxes of Plain going out today not pictured.

This is a good question. I think there is some guidance as I believe there is an RDA for 2500 calories as well (but I'm having trouble digging up a specific source, I just see it on all of the Bob's Red Mill labels. There are obviously upper limits…

The question I would ask is what are the RDA for a 3000 calorie diet and how do they compare with a 2000 calorie diet? In other words, do I need to ingest 1.5x the amount of iron if I need 3000 cal? And if not, does 3000cal of Soylent put any of the RDA…

Treat soylent as you would normal food. Soylent, in it's 2000 calorie formulation, just provides a nutritional base. If your activity level is higher, you need to supplement your diet with additional nutrients just as you would have to do with normal…

Superior is also subjective. I mean, I really doubt soylent has a superior taste to normal food, and its also debatable whether it is superior to a healthy diet, as much as an improvement it may be over a typical diet. Also, imagine if vegan's went around…

Please let me clarify that I was not suggesting anything nefarious. Not sure how you got the impression that I was suggestion something wicked or criminal was taking place on the site. I tend not to trust people who are aggressively marketing their product…

Sorry, been really busy. Early results are pretty good. Some flavors don't come through very well, or require so much flavoring that they start to taste kind of chemically, but there are several that are absolutely delicious. Pralines and Cream is my…

All the DIY soylent recipies are variations of the original one / their concept is not substentially different. So the only one actually having enough treshold of originality might be the original Soylent recipe. Then again, nutritionally complete powders…

I'm just happy to see such a marketplace exist, as it means the S/soylent concept is setting up deeper roots. Personally I'm very happy with official Soylent and not adventurous enough to try anyone's DIY, but then I'm not trying to go totally 100% Soylent…

I don't give a crap about the law, I care about common courtesy. I would also argue that these are more akin to chemical formulas and significantly different than a recipe for conventional food. Given the context, as well, I'm not as concerned about…

Those recipes are the intellectual property of their creators Recipies are not protected by copyright law, at least not by German law! (and I guess US law won't be any different, see link at the bottom)There is not enough threshold of originality for…

Thanks guys for direct speech. Your critical suggestions help me to earn that all kind words in the end. The marketplace is NOT INTENDED TO COMPETE WITH SOYLENT.The Marketplace is made to compete with regular food. My own experience and the experience…

Curtis2011 said: it's important to realize that many successful products are indeed polarizing towards some audiences. Couldn't agree more here. This is one of the main reasons I believe Soylent to be an absolutely seismic shift in the world. If…

I don't think that the producers of a product are even the ones to decide if their product is superior or not. If it is, the fact will be known by the majority of people because IT IS superior and not because they SAY IT IS superior. Apart from that…

But we are talking about marketing here. Are you proposing that Rob tries to sell Soylent by saying "oh it's just average food, nothing special about it". That would be a terrible plan. Because if your food is superior, you are implying that his/her…

People absolutely take aides when it comes to food. The anger I've had directed at me when I decline someone's offer of, or explain that I've never had meat, pizza, a salad, or countless other things is absolutely out of this world. People will take…

If you tell someone you are eating superior food, it will more likely result in a unnecessary discussion and in the person trying to convince you that your food is not superior, than when you just call it (nutritionally) complete food or whatever else…

yeah I got that, i was merely pointing out that your goal of zero excrement is not achievable: sp1d3rx said: If there is excrement, then perhaps Soylent has more than is required, and whatever is being excreted can be removed from the inputs so that…

I don't see how anyone could be "offended" by calling Soylent superior food. And frankly, Soylent is designed to be superior to normal food to begin with. No normal food that grows in nature has the perfect nutritional values that Soylent has. Also I…

I wouldn't worry so much about that, I think the issue is that xylitol is expensive and that's one of the main reasons why it wouldn't see a large market. Also, most studies are talking about 4 grams a day or less, not 40 grams. It's made from trees,…

Hey, @axcho here. Yes, I've been talking with @Spaceman about creating a marketplace for DIY soylent. Sure, he's been a bit overzealous (spammy) in his self-promotion on this forum, but I think his heart is in the right place, and he has a lot to offer…

The only thing I don't like about spaceman/this site is taking advantage of the same marketshare and slamming soylent at the same time. It's classier to respect the competition, but it's personal taste, I guess. Don't get me wrong, though. I'm glad there's…

What exactly is you objection? Because quite frankly I trust him more now. He isnt just selling his own. He is selling others as well. I fail to see anything problematic or nefarious about that site.

As far as I am aware our digestive systems are not capable of converting mass into energy at the atomic level. Wouldn't that be nice, to have our own nuclear power plants inside our own bodies! I think you missed the point, I'd like to see them study…

it's not him alone, its a cooperation between @axcho and @spaceman - they are doing the community a favor, enjoy the new service instead of criticizing their enthusiasm!as far as I understand the site it's open for other DIY products as well (for example…

this it what it says on the contact page: @axcho and @spaceman decided to make a marketplace where everyone can offer and order their own soylent according to popular DIY formulas. We believe that such a “farmers market” will help to diversify options…

I hit the site and went to the marketplace. First thing I noticed was spaceman's wares being peddled with the same layout hallmarks from his site. Is this run by the same guy? He's been so pervasive and pushy I absolutely don't trust him now.

I can corroborate reduced frequency and quantity. Highly preferable for someone like me who has endured chronic digestive problems throughout life.

Before you go running any marathons, check out my blog post on my first physical exercise on Soylent. You may need to supplement. As for the actual poo, the fact that there is so much less (both quantity and frequency) would seem to me to be a benefit…
