No! Lol. I'm bad enough at letting things lie as is. Just pursue logic and truth alongside me and we can all gain the benefits.

Thanks! Can you show me how to calculate it for future reference? Just so I am sure... That would be 20% flaxseed oil and 80% canola?

So my friend and I were mixing up the six months we got last week and storing it in 2 gallon jugs that we were bringing downstairs to the basement for storage in 4 freezers we bought just for this purpose... We had 26 jugs and were stacking them in boxes…

You want 4 parts Canola to 1 part Flax Seed Oil to get roughly 101:102 Omega 3 to Omega 6.

Taste? 20 chars......

So I am planning on starting a DIY soon and I wanted to do a mix between flaxseed and canola oil for my omegas. My goal is to get a 1:1 ratio between 3 and 6. Could someone help me calculate how many % Canola oil I would need to use compared to how…

Yeah, that has always been a concern. In the cutting phase, you are trying to minimize muscle loss and sustain fat loss. All of the calorie restriction stuff I've come across just seems to say something along the line of "more protein, less carbs, less…

Absolutely. I chose that theme so that I could get the comment system up quickly. I'll spend some time later today getting the text into a more readable color.

Dang it. I was hoping this was a thread about how to get these pesky dryer sheets out of my underwear.

Cheap health food was the draw for me. And honestly, I must say I love how subversive soylent feels. If everyone is eating powdered foods in five years, I'm totally pulling the hipster card. Oh, but one of the big draws for me initially was that a complete…

I appreciate it @MattCauble. Wish it would get here sooner...I'm really excited to start.

Someone needs to start a thread dedicated to goading @livingparadox and listening to him bring the truth. Then I could read it and smile.

I drink breakfast at my computer at home, bring lunch with me in a thermos to work, and have the rest as a late-night snack after work. Most days I drink soylent solely, but I do work in a kitchen so light cheating may or may not occur.

Excited to hear your progress on this. Mealworms make way too much sense as a protein source.

The text is very faint and hard to read. Any chance of making it darker? Thanks,Zenman

Thanks Julio! Since I had planned to wait a little while before asking for this, I really appreciate your proactiveness! Especially since this was a mess up by Fedex and not RL

What would happen if you made Soylent from mealworms and crickets? HEAD ASPLODE! (maybe cockroaches too?)

I agree, it is slightly redundant. But consider the following existing categories: Biology: has nothing specific to do with Soylent: "anything relating to the science and mechanisms behind health and nutrition"Nutrition: may or may not have anything…

I would say, if you learn how to breed mealworms wisely, why not? People are starting to switch from regular food to insects to save money and for healthy reasons. Mealworms and other insects like roaches are very good insects to eat for protein. Cavemen…

Not as smooth as when it soaks but as for taste it's fine. More importantly better than airport food.

I hope it's not rude to revive such an old topic, but I happen to recognize this as a KEGG map.Another good web resource for human metabolism is HumanCyc.

Hi, I just wrote a blog post that addresses this issue. I hope it adds something useful to this discussion, and that this is an appropriate place to promote it. My main points are: I think Soylent is safe, and better than the Standard American Diet,…

@safet33 I can at least say for myself that the lack of a Soylent shipping update on the tracker to go along with my starter kit shipping notification is not because of laziness. Got notification of the starter kit shipping on 8/14 with expected delivery…

Got a "Your Soylent is shipping soon" email. 2 weeks on 6/18/2013. Yay!

It looks like your shipment never made it to the Fedex facility. We aren't entirely sure why this happens but we are running better audits on the system now that we know it is a problem. We will re-ship your order tomorrow. I apologize for this mistake.…

Our housecat enjoys licking a bit of Soylent from my fingertip. Cats like weird things, sometimes. We used to have a cat that liked lettuce. -Mike

I went back and forth between original Schmoylent and Rice-based. I thought Rice was less gritty and also found the taste slightly better. I do get some of that funky/sour tongue thing from the original. But do we have to worry about this at all? …

I work out of my house so home for all meals (4 a day for on DIY). I usually eat some chips or something between 2nd and 3rd meal. When I worked out of an office (I've only been working from home for a couple months) I would take in a mixed bottle for…

One way to try and make sure you're losing fat and not muscle is to do at least 15 mins of moderate strength exercises at least every third day. Even just a round of 15 squats, push-ups and tri-ups. If you have even 5 or 10 pound weights, throw in 15…

I believe Rob said he wanted to get the price down to around $1 a day (yes day). I think that is achievable, but only after a lot of innovations. Most likely algae protein, etc. In other words, this is a long term goal. We could do it in the near future,…

Looks like they created a shipping label for your month of Soylent. Will be shipping soon!!

Seems like most people have been getting a reshipment in around a week. Expect a few extra days the farther you are from the west coast.

There is no distinction between backers and pre-orders (orders before late April 2014, I forget the exact cutoff date). All of those orders are shipping together, by order size (2 months before 1 month, 1 month before 2 weeks, etc). But there is a distinction…

so there is no distinction between backer and non-backer orders? I guess since they still have to finish the backer orders first, so by definition all the re-orders have been to backers anyways... guess I was worried for nothing!

Not crazy about liquid Soylent in a checked bag. 1. Temperature2 Pressure3. The inevitable goo that will be all over your clothes. Taking Dry powder is really no problem at all carry on or checked. Once I'm through TSA I get a bottle of water and mix…

People who have already received Soylent orders get priority on re-orders. The wait time for re-orders is 2 weeks, so if you want more before you run out you should make sure to place your re-order while you have at least 2 weeks of your existing Soylent…

I finally received my backer order and it's everything I hoped for. Now I want to have a continuous supply after my 1 month runs out. If I order the 1 month subscription today- am I in the very back of the queue? (4 to 5 months?)

Breakfast/lunch or Lunch/Dinner at work depending on my shift. I then usually have one normal meal. On my days off I've had way less soylent... Sometimes just one meal or not at all. Once school starts next week, I'm sure the majority of my diet will…

I'm not sure how long your flight would be, or how long you would be staying at your destination, but there is an easier option: mail the Soylent to your destination ahead of time. Many hotels will accept packages from travelers and store these packages…

Breakfast/lunch at work. Dinner on the way home, or after arriving at home.

I believe they're still working towards bringing the cost down. One of the previously stated plans they had to do that was to start their own facility for manufacturing Soylent. I don't know where they're at with that, but I do know they are continue…

Soylent has such great nutritional value that is already so cheap. My question is, can it currently be sold at cost to food banks at a price that would work for them? I know the commercial product is priced at $3, but if more Soylent could be produced…

I've personally settled after that first 10ish pounds of bloat/water/bowels, and am losing between 2-4 pounds a week (which is the edge of what's considered safe). I'm 6'1", broad frame, started at 290. Goal weight is 210, currently down to 276. According…

I think it is important to note the current price does not necessarily reflect the current cost to make. Unless I am mistaken, Soylent is not sold just at its production cost. The margin is probably small, but only someone with inside knowledge of those…

I would love to hear what Rob or anyone else on the Soylent team has to say about this. They understand the production costs better than anyone else. Subsidized Soylent has great potential.

Ditto on the "confirm your address" email. 2 week day-one-of-crowdfunding order.

Just got mine as well. EDIT: Sorry, Day one 2 week backer.

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

Reminder, Rosa Labs has requested that Official Soylent no longer be sold on this forum. Had I caught this sooner, i would have closed it. thanks

So I just got a package, sent from a Maria Silva??...it was my shirt. Tracking # was not the same as I was emailed.

Looks like FedEx lost the package or something, we'll get another one shipped out tomorrow. Apologies for the inconvenience, @JerryH!

LOL, thats great. Someday they will have groups you can join.

It sounds great to me. Like others have posted this will be mostly water weight. I typically lose 10 pounds in the first few days of starting an atkins type diet. Soylent isn't low carb, but the low sodium may be doing the same thing. Can you estimate…

There were some issues in getting the original t-shirt shipments out, but they were successfully sent on Friday afternoon via USPS. Tracking info is getting sent out this afternoon, though most customers living west of the Rockies should be receiving…

When I was doing DIY, I added both coconut oil and peanut butter. It was delicious. http://diy.soylent.me/recipes/jennifers-peanut-buttercoconut-oat-shake-20

I think Soylent Recipes is perfect and clear. It isn't about 'cooking' with Soylent, though that would certainly be one aspect, but recipes in general (like smoothies, etc.) Soylent with a capital "S" has always meant official Soylent and DIY soylent…

I had this exact idea myself but I don't have the official stuff yet. So, I tried it with my "People Chow" formula I've been using for months. I used a 'brownie' recipe I'd read about somewhere, and had to triple the amount of brown sugar and cocoa…

If you want take a look at crude food 1.0 The recipe includes cocao powder and cinnamon as well as some vanilla and sweetener in the Mega Mens powder. Then blended with some frozen banana and berries which gives a great frozen fruit smoothie taste.

Soylent is officially sold.

Could always put it in a checked bag. Depending on airline fees for checking a bag may apply. (I always thought charging for checked bags was kind of counter-intuitive. They charge you if you check it, then if you carry on they run out of overhead space.)

Breakfast and lunch at my desk at my day job.Dinner at the theater. Or a muggle meal. Either way, dinner always paired with wine.

PM'd you ........

Hey @MattCauble I just checked my bank account and don't see this month's Soylent subscription fee charged. It arrived 6 days ago. Could it be charged under something other than Rosa Labs? I'm sending an email to info@soylent.me as well.

Continuing the discussion from Flying with DIY/ Soylent?, but with a slightly different angle. Has anyone tried flying with mixed Soylent? There are some exceptions to the 3-1-1 rule, and I'm curious if we can find a way to use them to our advantage.…

oh man, I want a shirt. How do I get one?

I also got an email on 8/12 that my t-shirt had shipped. The t-shirt arrived today, so I thought I'd check the tracking info, and it still only says "Shipping Label Created"! I guess USPS doesn't update their tracking info regularly.

The thing is that cats in the wild eat the entire animal (and hork up the absolutely indigestible bits). They get nutrients from the prey's stomach and other innards. This is simply not available by feeding them a diet of raw meat which most people…

I will eat it in the rain. And in the dark. And on a train. In a car. And in a tree. Soylent is so good you see! In a box, with a fox, In a house, with a mouse. And I will it here and there. I will eat it ANYWHERE! Seriously though, I drink it at…

I can't figure out if flaxseed or canola oil is best ratio wise... Omega 9 is pretty good too from what I heard

Gotcha. Let me know; no rush at all. Take your time.

If nobody in interested in the whole month I don't have a problem breaking it up.

I'll buy one week's worth, if you're willing to separate. Text six 1ne too -309-6196 and I'll get you the money via PayPal today.

It's not so much that I didn't like Soylent itself. It was more that I realized how much I enjoyed food in general. I actually found myself missing cooking a meal and enjoying it. I'm keeping some Soylent on hand for quick meals and such, but I don't…

Wondering if you could provide feedback about what you didn't like about Soylent?

Is this confirmation that all orders from before the May cut off will be shipped by the end of September?

I have decided Soylent just isn't for me. I have a month's supply that I'm ready to part with. I'm not going to mark it up at all so $250 plus whatever it costs to ship it.

You might as well forward it to your destination by mail. Just an idea.

The green pitchers were a limited run. We are switching over to the black top pitchers for future orders. I hope this helps and let me know if you need anything else.

RDA is weird about Omega-3 vs 6. The general recommendation is actually a ratio no worse than 4:1 and approaching 1:1 Omega 6: Omega 3.

Breakfast - On the way to work Lunch - At my desk or in meetings Dinner - Don't have Soylent for dinner
