Complete Foods News

So I ordered 1 week of soylent when i originally backed the project in 2013. Then I added another week. I am moving in two weeks and i was wondering if i am going to get my order in time. I haven't even gotten my kit with the pitcher. Any other original…

davidhunternyc said: You guys, I am not doubting your credentials but since you both have scientific minds, why aren't you more skeptical of Soylent? This is a product which could possibly replace solid food. This is a major enterprise that will have…

I actually mix my DIY with coffee.. about 10oz coffee, and top the rest up with water. Sometimes a little sugar in there too. Straight soylent in the morning is pretty bland; this adds a li'l flavor + caffeine kick to get me going..

I only drink coffee if I need to stay awake... I dislike the taste, and only drink with sugar and milk :3 also, it gives me the runs and I feel bloated for hours afterwards.

What I would recommend is, using http://nutritiondata.self.com to see if you can find common threads of nutrients in the foods you're craving. Also, just to confirm, when you have those cravings, how does Soylent sound to you? Is it unappealing or just…

One more note to add - the old-school birth control pills were much "harsher" than the current ones - both in terms of the forms in which hormones were delivered, and in the amounts. It may be time to reconsider and discuss with your gyno, now that the…

What email address does the shipping confirmation come from? thanks

Welp, my starter kit is supposed to be here today. Hopefully my Soylent shows up with it, though I haven't gotten the tracking number on that one. I know they sometimes show up together though, because :fedex:.

Methionone and cysteine are the two essential amino acids containing sulfur. The protein sources I use list them in the label breakdown. I calculate the number of grams of each in a serving, add them together, and enter it in the "sulfur" field (which…

Not to worry - you'll lose some muscle mass. It's profoundly difficult to not lose muscle mass while losing fat. The body prefers to be in one overall "mode," either gaining or losing... there's only a very small zone where it can overlap, gaining muscle…

Earl Grey Tea results are in, and it's also delicious. It's... kinda like breakfast fruity cereal, only it lacks the overwhelming sweetness. It could do with some sweetening, but it doesn't need it really. Maybe a packet or two of Monk Fruit extract.…

I also decreased the coffee intake almost immediately. Now, I drink a DIY bullet proof coffee for breakfast, then soylent for the rest of the day (or have a muggle meal for dinner).

I absolutely drink coffee during the day, but probably at least half the amount I used to before discovering soylent/diy

@JulioMiles @ana @MattCauble Can someone help me real quick? I'm trying to create an account on the soylent.me site using the same e-mail I used on backerkit so that I can re-order another month, but it won't let me.

Has anybody tried the Torani Syrups? I'm curious if they have any effect or not.

Hey @ryan, I've PM'd you so we can figure out what happened and make sure your order gets out. Thank you for bringing it to our attention @SolveDSMV_ARFID.

haha, no. But riboflavin, thiamin, niacin, folate, calcium, iron, phosphorus, sodium, manganese, and saturated fats are. All of the above are present in significant amounts in both cheeseburgers and pizza. If you take a look at more of your cravings,…

I signed up to the email list and havent heardanything yet.. no updates.. no nothing...... hopefully soon.

Oh, hey. Great news! I ordered some Joylent from the Netherlands a month ago because they ship to Aus., but having no joy at all trying to get a response to my questions about when I can expect to recieve it or whether it has in fact shipped. Great to…

I ordered July 5 (2014) and was charged the same day. This is the norm for Rosa Labs currently. Not ideal, but not a deal breaker for me. Of note, I have not received notification that my order will be delayed past the original 10-12 weeks stated at…

Has their order gone in properly then. I know that I placed an order after the crowdfunding ended and my card was charged right away and this is what I hear from everyone else on these boards. It is also what seems to be the current policy. So the anecdote…

I'd try tagging @JulioMiles

Okay, no crazy hurry, just wanted to make sure the order didn't get lost. Sorry about your choline bitartrate!

I do care, and I want Rosa Labs to do the right thing. That is why I provided an anecdote with the disclaimer it does not represent everyone.

@Cobra, I use xanthan gum in almost all my recipes - check the ingredients.

She doesn't use any hard numbers for any of her 'facts'. When she does present something she says "high amounts of X cause Y", with no comparison of how much of X would cause said issue, and how much is in Soylent. I didn't make it all the way through…

@axcho are you using this in any recipes you ship?

OMG, are you serious??? That's amazing!!! I've been doing the combo for about 1 week and I've lost about 4 pounds. By way of background I am about 6'2 and 33 years old. At my heaviest I was 265 pounds (way too big), but I have been losing weight over…

@JulioMiles If I ordered my next batch of Soylent today, could I go ahead and have it shipped tomorrow? I ask because at the end of the month I'm moving to a whole different state, and I have just over two weeks of Soylent from my last order left, so…

Via email, I found out via reddit's soylent community and he messaged me when I mentioned I was having trouble buying it locally.

that's good to hearits nice to be proven wrong how did you manage to order? the website is basically an empty page, last time I looked.

Hmmm.... Do you have this in a git repo somewhere? I might see if it makes more sense to extend yours than start over.

Just got my shipping notice! 2 weeks ordered on 10/9/13! Yay!

I just received my email for the kit.Hallelujah.I hope all original backers get theirs quickly now...2 weeks, August 2013...

@amy I don't think any orders were lost, it's just that I couldn't print postage or instructions so I couldn't ship anything out. My website still has all the data though.

@axcho I ordered a custom blend a couple of weeks ago and am wondering if you got it since you mention printer problems. If not I'll reorder.

Hey @asympt, sorry for the delay - last week the printer stopped working (got it working again over the weekend) and on top of that, ran out of choline bitartrate (I think an Amazon package got stolen) so I've been a bit behind, but working hard to catch…

Seconded. Makes a huge difference. A little goes a long way though - 0.5g is plenty for a day's worth.

Just got the confirmation! That's a weight off my shoulders! Can I order another month for siblings as well? I'm not sure how this works for people who were planning on sharing their soylent.

I've mixed tomorrow's batch with Earl Grey. Usually, Earl Grey with a little bit of french vanilla cream in it tastes like the milk left over at the end of a bowl of Froot Loops, so I'm hopeful. I'l update tomorrow when I know for sure.

FYI @unsynchronized: I got a trial shipment a few weeks ago from Aussie Soylent, it came quickly and I just put in an order for more.

PB2 is a pretty great addition. I had a ton left over from my DIY days, about 3 tbs/2L.

Just received a shipping notification for my 2 week order (purchased 8/8/13) I will update the tracker later.

Hiya @axcho. Ten days ago I ordered a sucralose-flavored sample of new Schmoylent. Any update on when that'll be shipped? Thanks!

I found that Windex kills fruit flies much better than Permethrin.

Coconut flour was terrible terrible terrible for me. I'm not saying it will be for you but don't make my mistake and start with the 25LB bag. On a positive I donated/found a good home for the 23 unused pounds. I found it to be incredibly watery in…

When I had to get rid of an infestation, I read that the one thing you want to deprive them of is water. In my very rare bout of trying to cook from scratch, I had put beans to soak in a bowl on the counter. I looked in the next morning (we're talking…

I'm pretty sure it was the soylent dust in the empty pouches. We clean our glasses after every drink, and wipe the counters after preparing pitchers. We don't really have any other food in the house that isn't sealed or canned. Now that we're making…

I figure that whatever I'm getting from Soylent is better than what I was eating/not eating before. If I've been able to live on what I had for 23 years, then I think that even getting 50% is better. The body is amazing in that it can survive for so long…

I have had the same issue!! (In my office!). There is no fruit or anything like that but knats keep showing up since Soylent. They are like miniature moths.Perhaps they laid eggs or something? There is nothing here for them to eat & we have cleaning people…

Sounds like a fruit fly infestation. Make sure you aren't leaving any fresh food (or Soylent) laying around and they'll die off on their own.

Xanthan gum This stuff is great. Before using it, I was finding that my DIY was settling WAY too often; however, since adding the xanthan at about 0.5% by weight I have found that all the powders stay suspended in the liquid. It has drastically increased…

As long as you used the same email address, your order will be processed as a reorder. Unfortunately, at this point there is no customer-facing indication that this has happened, it's something we're working on. Your first subscription shipment will…

mhm, I thought of doing that @j8048188, but then aren't you only getting half of the total micronutrients and stuff that Soylent provides? Unless you're eating a super healthy balanced regular meal, seems like you're missing out cmpared to if you could…

Holy crap! That's great. Congrats!

So over the last month, we were noticing more and more gnats in our apartment. We've never really had a problem with gnats before, or any sort of pest, because we keep a clean home and take the garbage out whenever it gets over 3/4 full. Eventually…

If you have any of that brand that I posted, do NOT do the margarita. It was TERRIBLE.

@JulioMiles So, I recently got my 1 month order and have absolutely loved it. So much so I ordered another month, but it has put me on the 10-12 week delay?! I REALLY don't want to run out, please assist! Thanks! (Yes, I used the same email)

@kennufs Sorry for taking so long. Yes, I have been doing both, and currently have lost 46lbs I HIGHLY recommend the combo!

I'm taking soylent to Dreamforce.

Omg, I just found out my fiancee has a secret addiction to flavored water packets (seriously, she has 3 gallon-sized ziplock bags full of them). So I'm going to try mixing some in with small servings of soylent and see which work. I'm hoping they don't…

You can re-use a lot of those ingredients if they're not bad. You don't need the MSM if you have enough protein in your DIY. This recipe has similar ingredients to yours, and @BriBy likes it.https://diy.soylent.me/recipes/bulletproof-soylent-people-chow-with-oat-flour-similar-to-official-soylent

What brand chai? How long did you steep the tea?

Our cats LOVE the smell, I'm fairly sure it's the oils. We've not let them have any, but that doesn't stop them from asking.

I have 2x500 calorie meals during the day, then have a "normal food" dinner. It's worked really well for me, and I've even lost weight doing it.

Ah ok, yeah I used the same email address. Should be good then, thanks!

Try nutritional yeast or parmesan cheese if you want umami, and see if that satisfies you. Wouldn't recommend mixing it with your actual Soylent though...
