I use Modafinil on occasionally for both recreational (making sure I can stay awake for an entire night when I get booked for 2/3/4am DJ sets at the club) and personal use (making sure I can pull a productive all-nighter when required to catch up on business…

Pues yo también estoy un poco en desacuerdo con los precios y sigo queriendo hacerlo aqui, si alguien se apunta por favor que contacte conmigo para poder rebajar el precio de esos 200€ mes

How do you read this chart? @jatwood - Why did I have to type "How do you read this chart?" instead of "How do you read it?". Seriously man, them word limits ain't working.

e10ec968.png1211x1473 880 KB I looked at this image as proof of a need for a Soylent conceptual primer, for the sake of safety. But it's fascinating in general. Thoughts? e10ec968.png1211x1473 880 KB e10ec968.png1211x1473 880 KB

I tried modafinil. It certainly works, I was wired for about 2 days, did not sleep, and got a lot done. That said, I do not recommend it. Any productivity gain in the short term was outweighed by the recovery period and the inconvenience of having to…

To zostawaj, mam nadzieję, że szybko będzie dostępne w Polsce

Żywność? Suplement diety. Tak będzie dużo łatwiej. I wydaje mi się, że jestem pierwszy w kolejce do zostania dystrybutorem.

Jak znacie kogoś, kto zajmuje się handlem żywnością, to można mu zaproponować zostanie dystrybutorem oryginalnego Soylentu na Polskę. Jak ten produkt stanie się popularny, to potencjalnie może się stać bogatym człowiekiem A ktoś z Polski pewnie mógłby…

Nieźle, pomysł się sprawdza, tylko mi dość drogo wyszło. Chyba będę rezygnować do czasu zdobycia właściwego Soylentu. W związku z tym mam sporo składników na sprzedaż. Wrzucę tutaj potem listę z cenami.

Witam,Też jestem bardzo zainteresowany Soylentem, dajcie znać jak Wam idzie

Here is the nutritional info on other insects.

Chris, you may already be aware of this, but for those who aren't: one of the most usual culture media for Tenebrio molitor is wheat bran. This is also probably the cheapest decent option, IF you buy it at a feed store in sacks. Don't get it from health…

$17 in so far. I already have the tupperware container. I'll probably have to really jack up my starting batch so I don't wait forever to get going. The smell is just the oats they live in.

This sounds awesome! (Never had bug myself, though). Could you keep us updated on the cost, maintenance routines, etc? I'm also curious if they have a smell to them during cultivation.

I'm personally a while away from being able to stomach it personally but that's just me being an idiot -- it's definitely a good idea. If you can market this I'll buy it, but making it myself just puts me off.

Here's a scientific paper on the farming of mealworms and a breakdown including amino acids. The Yellow Mealworm as a Novel Source of Protein

I'm going to give it a go. We just bought some fatties from the local pet store so they should progress the fastest and start the colony. We set up a 4 drawer tupperware and will swap beetles between 2 of the drawers every two weeks, keep the pulpa in…

This is really interesting. I can see a future where soylent is made from bacteria and insects.

Seems easy enough but I feel a little ill just considering it http://www.nyworms.com/mealworms.htm

Now there's a brilliant idea! I raised them briefly many, many years ago, in the 1970s IIRC, and they are dead easy to propagate. Someone should try this one! I don't remember where we got the starter stock, though -- any idea of easy sources, Chris?…

Not on your life That's bait, not food!

Anyone consider raising mealworms and grinding them into flour for the protein and fat? It looks like their nutritional information breaks down to 27% fat, 49% protein. 100 grams = 471 calories and 6.9 grams of carb. Once the colony is going the only…

Hi, Greetings from Lübeck, I would be interested in a local group in Hamburg!

An article about modafinil: http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1885825,00.html - haven't checked the studies on this personally,but it isn't the first time I have heard this. Basically, modafinil does seem to affect dopamine. Generally speaking…

What about flavor? I've heard some of the nootropics are whisky-face inducing. What about on the stomach?

nwbb said: I really recommend staying away from modafinil (price alone!) - I think I read that you were interested in it, Rob? It's a sledgehammer aimed at narcoleptics. It will make you more productive and it will keep you awake, but the overall…

@rob— i see you're using it throughout the day—what form are you taking it in? mine is powder/granular, so i'm mixing it in. tiny scale. all that. i think my roommate think i'm making meth. i wasn't "feeling" my code writing itself, so, i started inserting…

These are both fascinating papers. Thank you for sharing.

I've found that a tablespoon of MCT oil in my diy mix kills my appetite for several hours. Mixed with the more complete than usual nutrient profile of my new diet, I don't really get hungry for at least 8-10 hours, but then I was already used to doing…

This is quite interesting. I know they have diet pills that are supposed to stop people from feeling hungry. I wonder if it is possible to properly manage this to enable one to choose when they want to feel hungry, and when to not feel hungry. Have we…

Please do. We need that data to see if all Soylent is doing to us is turning us giddy.

I suspected a sugar rush when I first took it. It feels great, and there is no crash, but maybe that's because I take it throughout the day. Then again, I was feeling better in the morning before I took any Soylent. I'll definitely get a glucometer and…

Czego używacie jako źródło:- litu- krzemu- boru?

All the time? With half-oat version? No way.

So you all basically have a sugar rush?

lester said: I'm wondering if my gut has been so badly damaged that I couldn't even digest most of the carbs I was eating. You can check this one easily, all you need is a good glucometer. lester said:

Well, whatever it is, I'm glad it's working, but I'm pretty certain it's the maltodextrin. While waiting for my 12 pound bag to come in the mail, I picked up some carbohydrate at a local GNC. Vitargo worked okay in the past, but was really expensive.…

HolaMe super agrado la idea de soylent, lo iva a ordenar pero dice que no lo mandan hasta en agosto, y los precios se me hicieron altos, creo que esperare mas tiempo y ya que se establezcan seguro los bajaran.Y por cierto como donde vienen los ingredientes…

Existen personas de confianza en la comunidad bitcoin, con reputación establecida, que mantienen el dinero en depósito para esta clase de cosas.

Creatine Glycerol Phosphate is an alternative if you're already taking creatine, which is usually in the form of creatine monohydrate. It's more expensive, but the company producing GCP makes some claims about it being more bioavailable and causing less…

Monosodium Phosphate is the safest option, I guess, and I'm trying to get it in Poland, with no luck so far. The ones you have linked to are either too expensive to ship or simply cannot be shipped to Poland (the Amazon one). Dicalcium phosphate - too…

Jest zupełnie ok i choć mamy już kupione białko na jakiś czas to przy najbliższym uzupełnianiu zapasów będziemy skłonni je wybrać

Hi, First of all I would like to congratulate you guys on the cause youre promoting, and the 444% funding youve acquired. Im from Colombia, and Im in the mass consumption foods business (we sell packaged pulse crops, like lentils, beans , peas, chickpeas…

Yo me apuntaría a la compra en conjunto, aunque estando agosto a la vuelta de la esquina, creo que cogería a alguien en la usa que me debe un favor...

Exacto, por eso estoy buscando gente que lo quiera hacer, yo lo compraría para un mes, pero necesito gente qe quiera compartir gastos porque si no el precio sale excesivo, cualquiera con una balanza electrónica podría coger el producto y repartirlo entre…

For the vegan version I'd look into algae-based DHA as well as potato protein to replace the whey. Protein protein isolate is nearly the plant-based version of whey. It has the highest % of essential amino acids compared to any other vegetable protein…

To be honest, couple with the maxed-out-on-micro-nutrients hypothesis that seems like the best explanation.

When on Soylent, one is always well-nourished and the brain simply can afford high energy usage caused by intensive thinking. Try eating at MCDonalds for a week. Next week, eat high quality, balanced, easily-digestible food. You should see similar difference.You…

Your last one is true, we spend 10% of what we eat digesting it. But how do you explain the newfound ability to concentrate and the always feeling peppy?

Just a few examples: Potassium deficiency symptoms: fatigue, sleepiness, muscle weekness and cramps, arrhytmiaPhosphorous deficiency symptoms: joint pain, joint stiffness, low energy, lacking appetiteThiamin deficiency symptoms: lacking appetite, gastric…

Everything you eat is GMO, either through controlled evolution or genetic tinkering. Its not neccesarily bad. But thats beside the point and another discussion Since soylent aims for being a chemically defined diet, there is no presently or recently…

I'm interested in whether Soylent will contain GMO ingredients. There's enormous pushback in Europe against GMOs in food, and the U.S. is starting to feeling it too. There might be some benefits (health, marketing) from having an all-natural/organic option.…

I am in a similar boat Actually there are a few potential explanations (2 off the top of my head). One of the theories of depression is that inflammation is a (partial or complete) cause. If you are celiac you will often get depression / anxiety alongside…

lester said: At work, I am finding I need to leave my desk to go chat with people. This is very uncharacteristic for me. Before Soylent I'd been working up to swimming a mile (36 laps). Shortly after I started Soylent I found myself unsatisfied if I…

I want to keep the discussion of anxiety and depression going. I'm 33 years old and have been dealing with mild to moderate depression for about a decade now, and have dealt with it in a number of ways - in no particular order: pills, therapy, gluten…

While I did not notice an increased strength gain that exceeds normal training benefit, I did notice that training on normal food doesn't work quite as good as training on Soylent...That is probably just a matter of my digestive system taking energy away…

Someone somewhere in this forum said their recovery times increased dramatically with Soylent. Sorry, too lazy to look

Has anyone who has tried Soylent begun a workout/body building program? Not talking about having worked out previously - talking about starting to (seriously) workout for the first time when starting Soylent. Or - has anybody who has been training for…

Any advice? I've come across http://www.intellimeds.co.uk so far, which seems like a reasonable vendor. However, I've not much to compare it to except more expensive stuff on Amazon.co.uk. Anyhow have any tips?

Sure, I think there might be an interest! Probably not to big to start with though. I believe people are skeptical in the beginning and you'd probably benefit a lot from doing together with the soylent team (i.e. using the exact same recipe, brands, etc).…

I'm from Sweden and I'm currently spreading the awareness of the existence of Soylent among my friends and theirs. I am part of a small Facebook group that is steadily growing. https://www.facebook.com/groups/166173686868136/?fref=ts My question to Swedes…

Not as such, the world of health and supplements has always been fertile ground for charlatans and mountebanks. There's a reason certain less reputable dealers are known as snake oil salesmen. The old patent medicine game is very much alive today with…

I see that monosodium phosphate and calcium phosphate are being used as phosphorous source BUT the monosodium seems not to be available where I live and calcium phosphate would give me too much calcium.What are the other options? Would disodium hydrogen…

here is mine, I keep it as a backup just in case: https://www.dropbox.com/s/1xjyeqdv3flcjda/doses.xlsx?v=0swn- you will find it in the 3rd sheet named 'symptoms' I know it's not very readable and has no citations, but I have cross checked everything…

https://www.drweilvitaminadvisor.com also does something similar, except he does EVERYTHING for you. Simple. However, if you search some around, you quickly find that vitagenic doesnt pop up much on google, even though you insert vitagenic custom vitamins.…

Yea people should be careful with potassium. I already knew that potassium could be dangerous to tissue from these doses. But i figured people would crush them and mix them with the rest of their soylent, and drink throughout the day. But thx for clarifying…

As a note of caution, I would advise against including potassium in your pill. The FDA limits potassium pills to no more than 100 mg for a reason. As I mentioned in another post: "very high concentrations of potassium ion (which might occur next to a…

I went to WebMD. But now I'm not sure if I have cancer, trench foot or the flu.

Try this That might be useful.

Well i closed the window, so i don't have the exact values, i just chose some rough values compared to the RDA, and what I know about many of the micronutrients from research. But i believe all micronutrients was covered according to RDA, except for phosphorus…

A book to help keep you in the know and pinpoint deficiencies Prescription for Nutritional healing You can look for symptoms and find components you need (minerals, vitamins, etc) or it will give you real food to solve the problem. Sometimes even plants.

I'm curious to see if anyone has compiled some sort of guide for diagnosing deficiencies. I'd like to have/find a spreadsheet, or a flowchart that can be followed to find out what I'm missing and what the symptoms are and save the hours of research.

@inzun: Could you tell us what did you choose and how much would be month's supply?

No, you have to change the values of the vitamins and minerals your self. Was just linking to the page because i might want to have different things in it than you do.

The formula is blank, looks like it reset itself when you linked to it.

Have anyone tried using custom vitamins and minerals yet? On Vitaganic.com you can make your own multivitamin and mineral from scratch. You can make it however you like with many options. The price is a bit high compared to many other "complete" multivitamin…

Would any food/liquid that hit your incredibly acidic stomach acid be turned acidic anyways, nullifying any attempts at "maintaining a ph balance"?

Your first post makes it sound as if you are saying that all vegetables are alkaline. From some basic google-fu it seems as though yes, most vegetables are alkaline and most fruits acidic. On a less meta-thread level, it would be interesting to see…

what do you mean by 'what do you mean with'

What do you mean with veggies are alkaline? All of them? Is it a virtue of them being green?

veggies are alkaline; does cutting them out as a 'middleman' in nutrient delivery have any effects? will my body have to work harder to maintain pH balance without them?

Have Soylent for breakfast only. Take it slow and start small?

The trouble I'm having is probably with the amount of carbs, as well as the fact that I'm not going about it too scientifically to determine the right amount. The times that I have gone almost a whole day on Soylent but then ended up eating something…

Does it tastes like chicken? Just kidding, I decided to put out oil and salt from mine cause it makes really disgusting.

Tried it today with cocoa, but... ney. It's just not for me. Sadly, my overall "flavorless" mixture tastes still like salty, wet towel or something. It seems I don't get near the taste Rob describes in his Blog. I think I will try oats and test if this…

If you love food, soylent definitely involves willpower. Most nights I want real food. The mornings and days are fine. Personally, I feel higher energy and a bit more stable mooded from soylent, but I also use a homemade veggie juice as well which…

Cocoa powder works ok, be conservative with the amount you use though. It curbs the saltiness quite a bit but I prefer plain.

How faithful is your recipe to the original? As people share their recipes we're noticing that some may not be getting as much out of it as they would from the original.
