As long as it's all coming, that's fine. Thanks for getting back so quick.

Just got a notice from Soylent that my order will be delayed another 4-6 weeks. I am a dead man. I have not felt this deprived of a product I wanted to buy since there were shortages of Microsoft Xbox 360s in 2005. My diet looks something like this right…

More reviews of other flavors to follow.... Hey @Muggle - where are they? We're curious

I was really surprised at the total percentage of almonds grown in California. I was also surprised at the volume of water necessary per almond. Throw in a drought and it definitely strikes me as a recipe for problems.

I carried a Week set in the suitcase and 3 bottles of 100%FOOD in the back-pack on my trip from USA to Russia, then to Spain, Netherlands and back to USA. Only one time I was stopped with the question what it is. But it was just a curiosity of the officer.…

When they ask, "Is it made of people?" http://soylentnoise.tumblr.com/

I've seen a lot of posts and blogs around the web talking about being gassy after consuming Soylent...and I know that this usually dissipates and that starting softly can help reduce these symptoms...but what I haven't heard anything regarding is Soylent…

I emailed direct and got an email back pretty much straight away - not much to it; they're rolling out in September. And so ... we wait ...

I am a 33 year old man who was generally in good health (great blood pressure, low salt diet, lifetime vegetarian, dairy free, with occasional fish and alcohol consumption). I had been using Soylent for the vast majority of my meals, using about 6 packets…

I also think it is a bad idea to use Soylent for a child, and a child with an atypical metabolism to boot. Consult the doctor and nutritionist. Present Soylent as a food alternative. Get direction. Happy as I have been with DIY Soylent in the two months…

Most of the people I know who I've introduced to Soylent remain skeptical of the concept for various reasons even after tasting it (mostly because they don't feel any of the issues with their relationship to food that many of us here do), but I've yet…

First batch of questions from @jrowe47 is answered. @j8048188, @kareesmoon, @ruipacheco, @kennufs, @asympt - pls. check the quality of answers and give our blessing.

"- To restate - any ecommerce customer that has not received a direct delay email has not yet been identified as affected by an additional delay" This was the most interesting bullet point in that update. I don't expect to get my shipment before the…

I agree with everyone else here: atypical metabolism and a child. However, I don't think it would be a bad thing for the parents to present the specs for Soylent to the doctor along with the warnings about digestive problems. Then the doctor (and nutritionist)…

Happy to tag @MattCauble and @JulioMiles to help you out.

Good read. Thanks for posting. Seems like people had better think about growing almonds somewhere else besides California.

The CP care team that the child sees should be providing the parent with recipes and suggestions for increasing calories. Typically they have cook books, smoothie recipes, and other suggestions to boost calories. There are commercial products like Boost…

I'm so glad this thread came up when it did; was just about to have the rest of the probably-bad Soylent in the fridge for breakfast. Bullet dodged.

Thanks. I'll make sure to consume mine in two days.

Definitely fat loss. Fat hides muscles; pretty much everybody on earth has a great 6-pack, for example, but you can't see it because there's usually a layer of rubbery goo on top. As you lose fat you will look much stronger every time. You might not…

I emailed orders@soylent.me, on August 7 2014, and requested a refund. I got no response. Yesterday (08/28/14), I got an email requesting I confirm my shipping address for when the shipment is eventually sent. The email stated to respond to it if requesting…

Cool let me know how it goes. You (presumably) want a 1:1 ratio of EPA to DHA. Soylent with canola oil is 2:1 (o6:o3)

Don't do it. I was thinking the same thing until I tried it a couple times. discourse.soylent.me How Long MAX TIME can you leave this if refrigerated? [Expiration?] I recently left mine in the fridge at work from Thursday…

I think it is generally 2-3 days and there are two reasons. First oxidation neutralizes some of the vitamins. Second, you have created a nutrient slurry that is seriously attractive to bacteria etc so it is likely to spoil. If you are male (as your…

The instructions for Soylent tell me that after making it I should consume it within two days...I'm wondering why this is? It seems to me to be a lot easier to make an entire packet worth of Soylent in one go using the official container than to try…

@ana - Slightly OT but what about Europe?

Hi everyone it has been a while! I am just wondering how everyone is checking in on the physical side ?? Love to hear some weight loss success stories!

Month 3! I think I'm one of the only people who use the forums as their Soylent log (slog?). Not sure if that means I should stop or not... If nobody else is interested, it might just be spam to keep updating it.

2 weeks is too short a period to tell something like that. Waist size can be combination of less volume of the food and fat loss. Unless you excersise also, then it would be mainly fat loss. (Unless you have the very very very rare genetic mutation where…

I would say it could cause some problems... Soylent is not yet at a recipe where I would recommend anyone giving it to their kids. The problems with digestion (smell, gas) some side effects for some such as headache and so on... Wouldn't want to put a…

Fat is the most calorie-dense macronutrient. Fat has 9 calories per gram; protein and carbohydrate each have 4 calories per gram. I would say, just add enough oil to the Soylent to give the desired amount of calories, as long as it's still palatable.…

@foxhound34 @Kenan @joemoe

To my dismay, I cannot try this recipe because I cannot get Soylent in Canada yet. But if I were to try this recipe, I would go with butterscotch chips instead of chocolate chips. Butterscotch chips are a guilty pleasure of mine. They make every deserts…

Someone needs to invent crunchy gum, or wait, scratch that, I need to invent it and make millions off of all of you

From what I understand, your shipments will go out once all the backers shipments have been sent out, which we are halfway through the 2 weeks orders it appears. This means you still probably have about another 4-6 weeks until the backers are done, depending…

IIRC the scoop is 135ml, which would be .57 cups. That's almost 7 half cup scoops of power per bag. Are you mixing in a 16oz container, or adding the powder and 16oz of water to a larger container? If your using a 16oz container a tad over 2/3 of a…

Kenan said: Also probably didn't help that I wore my Soylent t-shirt to work today Waaaah! A t-shirt? WANT. Kenan said:

This seems like a great idea. Literally spent like 10 minutes trying to find a problem with it, but failed.

Wow, this is awesome. I don't know about the muscle gain so fast, but that's great news that you are getting in shape. Efficiency 100% I can't wait to start my Soylent soon.

I looked into this and multiple sources seem to agree that there is in fact no such thing as negative calorie foods. Which is actually astonishing because public media seems to consistently say otherwise. However celery is still very low in calories so…

Been on official soylent 99% of the time for the past two weeks (woo!) and I have lost about 20 pounds and about 3/4" off of my waist in that time period. One thing I have noticed aside from the weight loss and waist size is that my muscles are getting…

So, question, I apologize if this has been answered. I ordered on June 19, 2014, so does that mean that my order has been delayed for an additional 4-6 weeks? When should I expect my delivery? Just curious, getting married in May, and I can't wait to…

I fly for a living and take soylent with me on every trip. I asked TSA about the carrying all that powder and they said as long as it's in the original pouches, they had no problem with it. Besides, there are nutritional facts on it stating that its food.…

I do know the nutritional requirements differ between children and adults, though I don't know by how much. You can always add more calories to Soylent by adding in more macro nutrients.

I would be much more interested in something like this, rather than the subscription. Speaking for poor college students the subscription thing isn't always practical.

Yes, a sucralose/vanillin free version would be great. Substituting out the raw oats would be great too. Raw oats are too difficult to digest for many people.

I got the "Soylent Green is people!" today as well. However, I turned it into an opportunity to talk to him. I had cut out the side of one of the boxes that had the ingredients and RDA % and he was surprised. Turned it around a bit. Also probably…

@MaragakisYes, it was a 2 week order that I placed in May 2013 (think I posted that above, as well). First day on Soylent. I started small and just replaced lunch. The wife replaced breakfast and lunch, but drank less than what I did just for breakfast,…

There's an iteresting article, in The Atlantic, exploring the side effects of almonds : http://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2014/08/almonds-demon-nuts/379244/

I second that opinion. I am only on bag 3, but I find the stuff to be way to sweet for my taste. I generally have less of a sweet tooth than most americans, but mostly I just don't want all my meals tasting sweet. I find that watering it down a bit…

Got my shipping email. For real this time lol. 2 weeks that should be here the 1st or 2nd of September according to the email. Yay!

Glad to see an update, but a little disappointed to see 5 more weeks of backer orders predicted. I'm celebrating 15 weeks out today, so 5 weeks of backer orders puts customer orders coming out in the later part of the 18-22 week window. The supply chain…

I am using people chow 3 but I use 100g of masa and 100g of oat. I have been looking for a replacement for oats but coconut flour is even more expensive. Today I notice that Wheat Germ basically gives me more protein per gram than masa, oats or cocunut.…

A dear friend of mine has a child with cerebral palsy. She is five years old and one of the challenges the parents have it making sure she consumes enough calories in a day. Because of her condition and the way her muscles work, a typical day she needs…

I just made my first batch of Even Cheaper Start customized for 2400 cal. The 400 grams of corn harina, 120g of whey and all the other ingredients came up almost to the top of my 40 oz. blender. As a result, I couldn't add enough water to mix everything…

Yes. Seriously. The only response I ever get is "lol! Soylent Green!" The name is of the product is horrible.

I posted a picture of my Soylent box and got the now over used, Soylent Green is People joke about half a dozen times.

I'd like to see them address the gas issue, obviously. But additionally I'd like a "raw" version that's willing to sacrifice taste for optimal nutrition and minimalism. And better data integration. I want a tight feedback loop between the customer…

Mustard gas. It had to be said. I believe it's possible to create a product that people don't have to adjust to. At the moment, I'm using a lot more fiber with my diy. This might help Soylent. An optional fiber supplement could be included. That doesn't…

My coworker who finally tried it said he loved the flavor. He said it reminded him of cake batter. For me, yeah, I can see cake batter. Some days it tastes much sweeter than other days. I haven't figured out why that is, yet.

The for all the replies everyone! I really appreciate it! I looked in the notes it doesn't, its people fuel for reference.

I ordered 2 weeks before the cutoff, no email yet, but my bestie that ordered two weeks well after me and after the cutoff I believe, just got her email. Could someone check to see if I'm among the apparently huge number of misplaced or forgotten orders?…

Sweet! Thanks (crossing my fingers :] )

Sorry about the confusion! This was for your 1-month subscription order. We will be getting to your backer order before that and then your subscription order will be issued 1 to 2 weeks later as a reorder, so this actually might not be 4-6 additional…

We will definitely be shipping your order before @Canyon's since you ordered first - we are working as fast as possible to get through our backlog and appreciate your patience! We are doing some of the address confirmations a bit out of order and I'm…

I just meant the amount didn't matter since non-backers will be taken care of by order date, not size. I feel you though, I've been tempted every day to buy some off eBay at the 300% markup. I bet these emails have little to nothing to do with the…

I just checked into your order - you qualify as a backer based on your order date and our current timeline is finishing up backer orders within the next 5 weeks. I'm sorry for the confusion but we have your order and will be getting it out to you as soon…

Thanks @juliomiles How big is the scoop? I lost mine.

Canyon said: Non-backer here. Ordered two weeks (not that it matters) on June 22, 2014. Just got an email asking to confirm my address. It's happening! Of course it matters... I ordered 4 weeks a month before you did and I haven't gotten my address…

There are about 6 scoops of Soylent per pouch (depending on settling, etc). 1 scoop Soylent, 2 scoops water, 1.5 teaspoons oil, (total of ~14 oz) is the recommended ratio, but you can play around depending on how thick/thin you like it.

I'm on week three as well (replacing all meals during the week, but eating muggle food on Saturday and Sunday) and I'm starting to get the brain fogginess...thanks for the suggestion - going to look at my omegas.

WHOOT!!! Got my address confirmation email today!!!!

Ana, thanks for the update!!I hope this isn't a bad question but I'm a bit confused..If this might be shipped in a "few" weeks (2 weeks so to speak) or 4-6 weeks?? More then a few "demand, along with packaging changes we recently made to make Soylent…

Have a separate post up with detailed production and fulfillment status: discourse.soylent.me Current Production and Fulfillment Status (Updated 8/28) Hi Everyone, It’s been exactly 5 weeks since my last big post,…

Non-backer here. Ordered two weeks (not that it matters) on June 22, 2014. Just got an email asking to confirm my address. It's happening!

Thanks.Is there a chance you haven't emailed all delay affected customers? I should be at week 15 now I think, which puts me in ecommerce delayed customer state, but both mails (2 accounts) haven't received a delayed mail.

The community thanks you for the update and for keeping up with communication. Keep it up!

Hi Everyone, It’s been exactly 5 weeks since my last big post, so I wanted to give an update on where we currently stand in terms of both production and fulfillment. Production:- We are currently finishing up our second major batch production at RFI…

I was on DIY Soylent last year and official Soylent since April 30th. Folks at my job were curious, grossed out (really? yeah) and, I suspect, defensive based on their mockery. Yesterday (finally!) I got two people to try it. And guess what? One of them…

Does your DIY recipe have how much water is used in the notes tab at the top?

Your subscription account is not created when you originally backed. You just need to sign up with the same email you used to back Soylent, and it they will add you to the fast-track shipping queue for reorders.

After they fulfill all the backer orders, they'll probably work on marketing. As far as flavoring, and stuff like that, I really hope they don't. What makes soylent so good is it's simplicity.The only thing that needs to be fixed is the aftertaste of…

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

Reminder, selling Soylent is not allowed in the Soylent forums.

I ordered 2 weeks in May and wanted to up that to 4 weeks too. Emailed info@soylent and multiple weeks later was told it wasn't possible by one of the support techs and that I just had to wait until the first one shipped and then reoder. So they are…

I don't know about Schmoylent specifically, but exposing the powder to air may degrade the nutrients. MattCauble said: What we know is that oxygen is the greatest enemy to Soylent. The Omega-3, any polyunsaturated fat really, will oxidize fairly quickly.…

all i know is its yummy (for me) one friend cant get past the taste of baby food...mom cant stand vanilla. im trying to figure out how to drink it slower cause it tastes so good

VadimGod said: i almost exclusivly use sweetners in coffee and such..cant taste regular sugar in hot drinks for some reason. That probably explains why it tastes similar to sweetened condensed milk to you, then, since Soylent is lightly-sweetened with…

Thanks, everyone, but my Soylent is no longer available as it will soon be on its way to a new owner.

How much is 1/5th of a Soylent bag? Does anyone know? I remember the scoop that came with my starter kit, but it didn't have any measuring labels on it. I am wondering if I should be bringing with something around a 1/3rd cup scoop, 1/2 cup, etc...…

Still up for sale! Just send a PM.
