Complete Foods News

Different people have different nutritional needs. I need nearly twice the RDA. So while you meet RDA in your product, it may not be enough for him.

I would have to say, no, that's not what I was referring to. Especially in light of the fact that I quoted the specific part I wanted. But, mobile might handle quotes differently, I can't remember. The statement I wanted evidence for was that "religion…

The increase in hunger and energy has been from a recent change in my Soylent. I think I somehow convinced my metabolism to go faster, which increased my appetite and energy levels.

I believe @vanclute uses straight canola oil. You could try that. As for your husband's cravings, the desire for greasy fast food sounds similar to something I went through before (though I greatly enjoy Soylent, and have from the beginning). If the…

Hey guys. I know that there have been many topics about the oil in Soylent, and I've read carefully but I haven't seen answers that pertain to my problem, and I'm hoping that people can help me. I do know the oil is necessary, and that it's healthier…

If your DIY uses masa harina or oat flour, isn't pea protein a recommended compliment? You are supposed to match grains with legumes. So in fact pea flour doesn't need to be complete protein and you can keep the protein cheap. In theory, anyway. 😛

I did some reading, and a vast majority of studies have found that A) dietary intake of AGEs increases serum levels of AGEs, and B) high serum AGEs are correlated with many nasty things (inflammation, diabetes, Alzheimer's). The article linked to on Wikipedia…

They are already in the process of redesigning the packaging. I'm not sure what the final result will be, but the over all size of the shipping boxes should be smaller (I think it should be at least half the size it is now). Some people have suggested…

Thanks for the info - it's relevant to my interests.

I would guess that it may be more expensive [for Soylent] to have more package options, at least for now. I know that is the case for a friend who sells his product online. Things do change with scale etc., OFC.

I received my first Soylent (two weeks worth) and so far it is great. I could not be any happier with the product itself. But the packaging really needs some thought. First of all the shipping box is at least twice as big as it really needs to be so…

I purchased Soylent to improve my eating habits, but I didn't have any expectation of feeling better. I was really shocked to find out that I feel great on Soylent. I have a few medical issues including insomnia. Soylent is not a cure all: I still…

TS must be trolling. Ignore the thread and he'll hopefully move along...

Before starting on 1.0, I had a fairly meat heavy diet. One or two servings of meat per day, chicken mostly with beef or pork a few times a week. Canned tuna at least once a week, but seafood was mostly a special occasion kind of treat. When I started…

@JulioMiles I recently subscribed to soylent. I had order 6 weeks way back and have been on 90% soylent for the last 5 weeks or so. The subscription shipped to my old address, not to my current address (which is where my first shipment went to). So…

It could be the high(er) levels of potassium giving you headaches. Once you're used to it, they go away.

Why not to use Flaxseed meal instead of oil?If you store it in a closed bottles in a dark place (like we do with 100%FOOD) - you will get a several months long shelf life.

Khyron42 said: @OmegaJeffSo you can both afford to live in an area where meals cost $10, AND you can afford to spend $10 on a meal? You sir, are living in a delusion if you think you are qualified to discuss harsh economic conditions. What's your rent,…

Back in the topic of Omega 3 / 6 ratios, I've added Flaxseed Oil to boost the Omega 3, but now I'm wondering whether I can still prepare a few days worth of dry powder (with oil mixed in) ahead of time, given that flaxseed oil is apparently more fussy…

I get my phosphorus from masa harina, oat, and barley malt flours, and also some soy milk.

Its a dream. Soylent bags that covert in to camlesl packs... To bad lipids + plastic = bacteria/leaching

I like the symbolism in the fridge shot! 😎

Yeah, that was a bad idea.

Yup. Still having the headaches, it's really annoying. I am drinking lots of water throughout the day and I am adding salt.

Wonderful pics. Soylent as art.

yes that quote was from wikipedia, but then you should not generally use wikipedia, at least thers sources on wikipedia. this site may be dubious as they sell protein, but he provide sources for the clames. but the fact that dAGE and AGE is the same…

Soylent side effect: my face hasn't been tired in a week. Every waking second it's totally ready to go. Instead of starting from light eye pressure at all times as has been my modern existence (basically 7th grade) my eyes literally snap open and are…

@PenaAbellan @Koningsbruggen So I ordered my second batch of Joylent three weeks ago and no sign of it. I tried replying to the order confirmation message and I tried mailing the customer service address listed on the webpage, and no response. I'd be…

This claim seems dubious. This latest quote is pasted with a link as if it's from a Wikipedia article, but the text is not within that article. Much of the quoted text in the opening post comes from the site of a company selling their whey as "safer"…

Good suggestion about country, @asympt and good suggestion to use flags, @EveB. Will try to add it tomorrow. We also plan to embed a shipping calculator (scheduled for the next week).We're going to offer shipping by USPS, UPS, FedEx & DHL. Did we…

Here's a photo of my leaky oil bottles, backlit for effect. They've since been replaced by Soylent. Maybe someone can post photos of the new and improved no-leak bottles. leakyoilbottles.jpg1632x1193 418 KB leakyoilbottles.jpg1632x1193 418 KB leakyoilbottles.jpg1632x1193…

Don't leave out the oil bottles, they need photo love too! (Unless you got the vegan version) Nice work, good stuff.

Yes I am on day 25 if 100% soylent and yes when I first started I noticed that all the time and it was AWFUL it made it so hard to stay 100% but now that I am back in school I love it I don't notice the time in between meals at all I just eat whenever…

Oh believe me, I would love if everything came USPS / Canada Post. For one thing, they have access to my building and so can drop things off at my door. Or knock on my door instead of relying on the door entry panel which doesn't work. (Not that I'm ever…

Thanks - I will check it out.

keep your distance from open flames...

As a Canadian, the first thing I look for when deciding whether to order from a US site is the TYPE of shipping they offer. If it's UPS, FedEx, DHL, or something else other than US Postal Service, then I close my browser and go elsewhere. All those other…

her i have a quotation from the page with source, it's mainly whey concentrate, but also isolat when they originate from a high heat treatment source. and yea it's sufficient with the pasteurization of the milk, the worst kind is the ultra pasteurization…

Ok, so, I have seen a few people go out and take photos in nature with soylent, but I thought as a hobbyist photographer it would be cool to put together a thread where we incorporate soylent into the photo, just something fun for us to do. This is my…

Just for more info: I've got this kit, and it works great: http://shop.camelbak.com/antidote-cleaning-kit/d/1138

I would suggest not using bleach in camelbacks. I used it diluted to clean one and then it started cracking and leaking.

@ana Thanks for the update! But I have a thought: a bit more contact via email would be nice. You know, a little something to let us know you haven't completely forgotten about us. Or to let us know our order hasn't slipped through the cracks. It doesn't…

asympt said: It might also help if you had an easy search by country. I agree. Now, I'm waiting for my official Soylent (they seem to be on their one-week orders now). But it might be that I will like to dabble in bought DIY. A major issue is getting…

OP do you have a citation for whey protein being high in dAGEs? I thought they were caused by very high heat processes. Is pasteurization sufficient to form them in whey/milk/cheese? Thanks for posting this.

Only one of the four protein sources I'm using lists phosphorus. Is it safe to simply assume they contain enough?

phosforus is located in your protein, there is no need to msm or another substitute

It might also help if you had an easy search by country.

Thanks @Myarter for notice, we use Soy Non-GMO Protein in 100%FOOD, so no worries, but I will reposted you message at Powdered Foods forum and asked Dietitian to comment.

I'm having a heck of a time locating a phosphorus source that ships to Canada. Amazon is out, and I'm not crazy about ordering powder randomly from eBay, unless it's a branded product (which this stuff typically isn't). Also - not looking to add creatine.…

Hi @materialsguy, @r_soylent and @SyntacticSugars - since we receive a lot of orders from Canada - may be you offer your blends at Powdered Foods Marketplace? We recently updated a structure to tailor blends to specific needs (weight loss, sport, anti-stress,…

Oh, I see, the taste led you to your formula.... up to Zone... We also experimented with taste first, trying to stay in 2000 cal frames.But now, we're looking further. We understand that we can make tasty blends tailored to specific needs. For instance…

Hey ya iv been making my own here in van. I sell it to close friends and what not. But got a bulk order site in the works. If any one interested In hearing more..

well we have after all ben doing this for over a year soon :/ But i hope al of the DIY'ers get the message @rob

Well, whey protein seems to be rising in price these days, so there's hardly a difference anymore.

I also added the recommended amount of salt and after 4 full days on Soylent I still have headaches.

wish we knew this before tho, would have spared us a lot of unnecessary damage. its sad that rise protein is not as cheap as whey

I've been shifting over to using rice protein (as inspired by Soylent, and exemplified in my Schmoylent recipe) so I guess this just gives me one more incentive to continue the trend...

I will as of now try and remove my whey protein source if it's from a ultra pasteurized source and replace it with ether a low dAGE Whey or use a blend of mainly soy and pea protean. i recommend others to reconsider the use of whey in the DIY recipes

I would like to bring forth the attention to dAGE to the Soylent community as it could be a major threat manly for the DIY Population as we often have whey as our main protein source, as it contains a big amount of dAGE in it compared to "normal" mule…

Actually, that was a joke, but thanks for your opinion. As long as people fail to see that we indeed are not separate from one another and are one organic whole, it doesn't matter what fucking sociopolitical structure we live under, we are still going…

Tomorrow it begins! Will be putting videos together, and tracking what I can. Feels good to have it here, and I decided I am going all in on the first day, might get smelly though, haha. soylenthere.jpg540x960 81.7 KB soylenthere.jpg540x960 81.7 KB…

I'd prefer to be able to pick as well. USPS is the only company I can get deliveries to my house 7 days a week, UPS delivers to me Wednesday and Friday and Fedex doesn't deliver to me. Currently, I'm using someone else's address to receive my Soylent,…

Its such a shame to hear about fedex in this light, because that Tom fellow had such a hard time on that island with Wilson, and now this. If only he had a few customers orders of soylent wash up on the beach, that would have been handy.

To collection of reviews: discourse.soylent.me Review: 100%FOOD Double Protein Chocolate Used the supplied bottle...Didn't have time to get the sport bottle today. Mixed well. Drank it all within 5 mins. Some small amount…

1) I wish there was a way to simply get a blood sample taken locally, and then ship it to a US lab. 2) I've heard that potassium citrate is fairly strong in taste though, have you found that? Gluconate seems to be essentially tasteless. Although I'll…

Soylea said: So far not feeling full has been my biggest problem. I eat a large amount of soylent for each meal to feel full. Have you tried watering the Soylent down more? This is what I do. I mix the Soylent like normal. Then I pour about 250ml…

You should watch this video on how astonishingly corrupt USA government is. Even Croatian socialist bandits are not that blatant about it, not to mention they don't go around wrecking the whole Middle East(Gaddafi, Hussein and arming Islamic barbarians…

I noticed that I could go to work without messing around with breakfast. Also that my energy was consistent all day long. I didn't have crash between meals like when on solid food. Of course I had no issue filling the extra time with work, family and…

Ease into it, it will help minimize the gas and other effects. I just got my shipping email too and it should arrive sometime next week.

Just for reference: 100%FOOD contains 500mg Sodium per bottle (1.5g per day), so you do not need to add extra salt to it.

Oops -- looks like i edited one of my earlier responses instead of actually replying. Here goes: Yeah so after I made my adjustments it turned out that the manganese was SUPER high. I poked around and nobody seemed to think this would be a problem but…

I have the same problem. My reorder defaulted to my paypal email address which is different than the one I originally purchased soylent with. My reorder was on 8/11.

Anyone else run across this feeling of days taking forever now? I noticed it immediately but attributed it to housesitting. This whole first week every day drags forever. A couple factors here: I'm a computer nerd that loves that feeling of losing myself…

r_soylent,Thanks for checking out the recipe and getting back to me. 1) Not really, I do have a list of things I would have liked to get checked like vit D, iron, leptin and insulin resistance, etc... but the sad fact is Canada seems to be very against…

For me, small sips throughout the day really do help, even though I would prefer to drink a large quantity and then nothing for a few hours. But drinking more than a small amount at once brings on the bubbly guts. I'm using a Contigo insulated bottle*…

No problem first day, blew the wallpaper off the bedroom walls day two. Two Beano with each meal of soylent for the next two weeks, then one each meal, now one with breakfast. No more major problems. I am 100% soylent on one day and 66% the next.

hmm, intresting. Have you always had a hunger feeling because of the lower bulk of soylent? it could be you need more "mass" and or calories like adding more outpoured in it?

And hopefully us Soylenters can help improve this situation.

No worries. Its going pretty well for me, other than an unexpected increase in hunger alongside energy. The energy would be a good thing if it didn't keep me awake at night... haha.

Thank's for the links. I'll have to set aside some time to check them out...

i maybe missed it, but how is it going now for you?

@Maragakis, @brent isn't a backer: brent said: Ordered 1 week off the website after the original funding campaign closed, about mid-may 2014. That being said, if @brent ordered just a few weeks after the cutoff date they should not be looking at 4…

I was going to say, there's a few good cleaning tablet options. Denture tabs work, and Camelback sells their own, which also work great. (I've got a Camelbak Mule - love it!) That said, I'd just keep the water in it. Soylent is a meal; water is for hydration.…

4-5 months? I'm hoping for 1-2 weeks by now for 1 week backers. Curious how you came up with that estimate, or might as well be correct.

Got my Soylent this morning. I ordered 2 weeks in April. Already had my first two glasses. This stuff is good. I had to stop myself from guzzling the whole pitcher so that I could ween myself onto 100% over the next week or two. And that's coming from…

It would be sad if that were the only way, but it's great that it can be an option. A lot of people are never going to want to give up conventional food for many good reasons; a lot of other people (it'll probably always be a minority) are just as happy…

I had just been reading of other 2 weekers getting their Soylent and getting the slightest bit irritated with not having mine yet when I got the shipping email. I had it delivered to my doorstep today. I'll be starting a 2 + week experiment tomorrow.…

I agree, 30%+ of Americans are in need of cheaper food that is also healthy. Food is a human experience though. People sit around and eat together. It would be sad if the only way to get adequate nutrition is over 100million Americans to live on a liquid…

What time are you having dinner @nwoll27?

Ordered 1 week off the website after the original funding campaign closed, about mid-may 2014. Just got my "confirm your shipping address" e-mail. Looks like my fulfilment time is going to be about 4.0 - 4.5 months on a first time order for a one week…

Some people mentioned Beano. Heard of it?

Now at 386 lbs from 408 lbs after 2 weeks (22 lbs) Still able to go about a day and a half on one pouch of Soylent. I drink a LOT of green tea; about a gallon daily.This has keep me satisfied over all. I think without the extra fluids I would have hungry.…

I'm not @croatiansoylent, nor am I as decided about my political orientation, but I may be able to help out a little. The classic example which gets brought up frequently (and originally brought up by David Friedman) is Medieval Iceland. People don't…

Ooooohhh okay got it. Thanks for the review, good info!

1.0, the real stuff. Someone here was selling a week's supply on eBay and I took them up on it.

Or make a few bucks on eBay...

Looks like somebody wanted to try it, but not wait 4-5 months.
