I don't recommend it. I tried sending with a flat rate envelope and the bag of Soylent popped. Some of the bags have a fair bit of air in them so if they are on the bottom of a heavy mail pile you'll have a mess at the other end. If you're using the USPS…

I also favor a Bitcoin payment option. @Koningsbruggen you might want to check out Coinbase and their competitors for an easy integration. I heard Bitcoin is quite popular in The Netherlands already (cf. Takeaway.com). EDIT: Oh wow, it already works.…

If you go to the actual manufacturers website instead of amazons 'product description', the manufacturer/producer usually will have a full break down.

1kilo bags stack very well in a samsonite

Used the Ziploc when I was doing Beta Soylent. Also all of the RL team have traveled that way never an issue. Just make sure any oil you take complies with TSA requirements for the 1 quart bag.

Being pre menopausal can produce some crazy symptoms, like bone pain especially in the hips and pelvis. There are some vitamin and supplement remedies that can be helpful such as Vitamin E and black cohos(?) No Kidding I heard this from Dr. Phil's wife…

Supposedly, the levels of Sucralose are minimal, so as not to cause problems for people. I would recommend trying to continue, and see if it they amount is minimal enough that your body can handle. Unfortunately, headaches and indigestion are common…

I'm sorry to hear that you've experienced worse symptoms, I wonder if Soylent is, in fact, affecting our cycles but it just happens to be in opposite ways. Sort of like how 5 hour energy shots put me to sleep. I'm on my third "soylent" cycle and am still…

To get things back on topic, @TheShadow's main question seems to be about upset stomachs and gut issues. Yes, that seems to be a bit of an issue. They even stopped shipping for a while because the digestive issues were so bad. Seems to be the large amount…

@nepasaran (and any others) I'm living in Frankfurt/Main, and I'm in Karlsruhe and Cologne on a somewhat regular basis. I'm interested in using Soylent for 1-2 months, maybe longer. For that I'm happy to buy it from anyone who has it, or participate…

my user name is cropdustking, im sure you all feel the pain

This might be relevant. @livingparadox is creating a soylent health tracker web app that will include physical fitness tracking as well as mood tracking. See this thread http://discourse.soylent.me/t/soylent-health-tracker-app/16161/5

Um, seriously man get some driving restrictions on that internet access...You are a danger to yourself and others in that condition

Yeah, @Melon_Collie took the Soylent bags, but @leecauble1 (I think) put individual servings into baggies. You could label them as "protein powder" as suggested. We've seen the oil bottles leak, so @TegidTathal's suggestion may be a good one. If you have…

Oh ...I read too quickly and thought about another member with a vlog. Should I label the ziplock bag?

Hi All! Mine is SoylentFL and I just added all of you.

No. It's how @leecauble1 did it, I think. Put the powder in ziploc bags.

Yea I seen the video which made me think of it. He has it in Soylent non open packages. What about DIY ziplock bags. .7 of those would look suspicious, yea?

I would recommend just buying your oil there as well, easier than travelling with it. The biggest issue might be volume. 5 days of soylent takes a not insignificant amount of suitcase space.

Yeah. They need to try it again. In the morning. After a soak. Lovely women, though.

Tagging @Melon_Collie as well. He just did it.

Portion it into 1day ziplock. TSA has no problem with flying just tell them it's your protein food. They get that.

I travel alot and sheer panic just came over me...how do I travel with DIY/ Soylent? Lets say you want to take a week worth of food...how? Any suggestions? Dont want to have open powder everywhere...dont want to get arrested either....

Just a community service announcement. As you may recall from this thread, I ordered the 21-flavours from @Spaceman. He committed, given the ridiculous situation he put me in, to send new bottles for the flavours I missed. It has been over a month…

I also used to drink soda (Dr. Pepper) by the case, but since Soylent I haven't had a single one Since you mentioned this, I just realized yesterday that I used to have a habit of saying I'm not hungry (because I wasn't), but then if someone nearby decided…

An update on my "no menstrual benefits here" post. Another rough month. One thing I've learned is I have to eat solid food for 3-4 days. Soylent doesn't provide enough protection in my stomach to help with the ibuprofen and pain meds. It's a delicate…

@MattCauble, I still have not received a shipment email with tracking numbers.

@ana, @MattCauble Sounds like a never ending busy day for the folks at Soylent. I hate to have to add another "Where is my order" to the list. I received two separate emails on July 30th, both subjected "Your Order Has Shipped!". One was for the Starter…

Tastes like play doh!

The amount is very very small honestly also, it's a shame you never followed the forums as you would then have known it contained it. I think many people agree it is a shame it is in there...

I was so excited to get my week's worth of Soylent and waited since last year I think for the kickstarter order to get here. I drank my first serving of Soylent with just water to see how it tastes with nothing added and it was just fine. As I was…

I was thinking a mobile friendly webapp, so everybody can get in on it. And because that's what my experience is, and don't want to learn a new environment just to limit who can use it. I want to get this up and usable as soon as possible.

So I just started my one month supply, but I noticed that, in addition to a frosting sandwich cookie from the Nestle Toll House shop, Soylent also tastes very much like a Waffle Ice Cream Cone with a bit of ice cream in it. I had a Blizzard from Dairy…

Ah, lol. 20 characters.

I'm willing to give him the benefit of a doubt and say maybe he was talking to the ones who shipped it to him.

Honestly I don't mind the seeds much as long as I've run them through an immersion blender once they swell up. That strips off all the goo and mixes it into my soylent giving it better body and probably making it less gritty. However the seed husks…

For me the most noticeable thing is my energy level is more consistent. My mood tends to swing up and down depending on my energy, and with two jobs it has the tendency to be on the low side. But ever since I started Soylent it's been more level, and…

If you got it from a friend, why did you write that you "ordered it", then write "awesome fast, thanks"??

14 months after my first DIY experiment and going strong (save time abroad) I've decided to spend at least one month grok chow/soylent free; August came around and it seemed like good a month as any. The idea is I'm trying to eat well (read: healthful),…

Hm... Maybe have something related to weaning oneself off of "normal" food? Some thing that has some kind of decrementing ratio recommendations based on other people's experience? Were you thinking Android or iPhone?

Recipes on http://diy.soylent.me/ have extremely detailed nutrition information but it is not indicated anywhere where said information comes from. i.e: my current favorite recipe "schmoylent" has the ingredient oat flour, links to Amazon Honeyville oat…

my theory is that it is related to the Soylent, not that icing the neck wont help... but it is a temporary problem regardless

Oh dear. You shouldn't have let them try freshly-mixed Soylent, they'll never believe it's different when it's fully soaked and the oil isn't--ugh--sitting on top!

Half a cup!........

Hydroflask.........

I iced my neck yesterday and thankfully all the pain was gone so I am thinking it was just some sort of strain not related to soylent. However I will still consider this a possiblity if it happens again down the road.

The Takeya pitcher soylent comes with is fine but I'm looking for something a little bit more durable and insulated. I often take my soylent rock climbing or doing other physical activities so I want a pitcher that can get banged up without breaking…

One of the other things I'm going to add is actually to allow you to plug in your recipe, as well as, like you said, other food. You'd track it alongside your energy, headaches, focus, etc. Then we can choose to publish our results publicly or anonymously,…

I have been diagnosed with ptsd and major depression. Since Soylent (tomorrow will make a week) I have slept better and deeper. My dreams are fun now, not fear based like they were. I have stopped taking such long naps in the afternoon. I used to spend…

So, I've been lurking around the forum for a while now and learning a lot about official Soylent and all the DIY versions. I ordered official Soylent in May, but I wanted to start sooner so I made my own DIY and started it on Monday...the same day I started…

I hope you find a way to keep doing Soylent wherever you're going.

I believe it's based on the nutrient profile you select. There should be a link on the recipe to the nutrient profile used. The list of standard profiles is here: http://diy.soylent.me/nutrient-profiles

I will move it up my list of priority projects. I'll try to get something semi usable by the end of the month. While we have this thread though, maybe we can use it to itemize the features we would want in the app? I'll start a github repo sometime…

I have a month's worth of soylent and while I was waiting, I ordered another month. Now that I have this month's I've realized I absolutely will not need the next month's anytime soon. How do I cancel my second re-order so I can wait until I've finished…

I don't have the skills, but would love if someone developed an app that could track one's Soylent intake and be a journal to track mood, physical and mental changes/symptoms. This information could, with user's permission, be sent to Rosa Labs, as well,…

Is it really day 24? Bowel movements are much improved, downright normal, for both of us. The frequency of our gas remains problematic, but in general the smell has reduced to a sweetly stale stink. It can still build after while. I've also noticed…

Haha. Me too. And the update is edited into the original post. My last comment was the TL;DR; version.

Way off topic. I actually lived 60 air miles from St Helens when it was erupting. We drove up to the hills surrounding Trout Lake, WA valley and had a beautiful view of the whole thing. I was surprised to see lightning from all over inside the eruption.…

Good point. I've just been trying it in my DIY so price hasn't been a big point unless I decide to continue with it. It sounds like my 1 week order of Soylent might actually get here in the foreseeable future so I will probably switch to that instead…

Very interesting questions folks. The in-room fridge did have a little section cordoned off for a personal item or two, but all the other stuff in the fridge sat on little sensors, and if you removed them to make room for your own stuff, it would trigger…

Alrighty folks, been on a DIY for a week, it's something I can't do. I'll probably keep using the normal Soylent (I think I've been conditioned haha). That being said, I can sell some ingredients. They are only missing a weeks worth amount. Here's my…

I would like to cancel my order: 19542 placed on 06/16/2014 After searching the forum a bit it seems like the most effective way to cancel orders is to tag @juliomiles. I have emailed info@soylent.me, but I want to cover all of my bases.

Innovative. Nice. Hope you're enjoying San Francisco. Had I thought about it sooner, I would've bought you a drink or toasted a glass of Soylent while you were in town.

How is "percent complete" for each DIY Soylent recipe calculated? I can't find the number anywhere on the spreadsheet or nutrient list. Thanks!

That's kind of short and to the point. Glad you aren't half dead anymore.

The best person to speak to about any health concerns you have is your doctor. Soylent does contain an overage that puts the total vitamin A at 5000ius. The study here shows there is a correlation with a decrease in bone density for the elderly at the…

Week 10 update. Bad stuff went bye-bye. Except now I have too much energy to sleep. haha.

You're lucky my dogs aren't near your house - they'd clean that patch right off your house!

hey cool, keep us posted

I have to admit, I'm curious about @theshadow and whatever substance it was they ordered last week, got this week, mixed with orange juice, and felt compelled to add sugar to.

Got my 4 months at lunchtime. Thanks team for making good on the backer kits.

I started experiencing it when I increased my fat intake (which resulted in greater thirst needs). So its possibly related.

I'll be flexible. If I begin having issues, I'll back down. I'm sure I'll settle into a useful routine. I imagine my body will change and issues arrive. I'll do my best to make sure I'm at a comfortable threshold without overburdening myself. ...how…

This has to be a joke because im laughing....clearly you are not talking about SOYLENT. Hehe wow I really cant stop laughing...orange juice..cup of sugar..yea right!!!!!

The bloating and gas don't show up that soon for some of us. Two days may not be a good enough marker. Mine happened after a week, went away, came back with a vengeance 21 days in, then went away. Good luck and Happy Soylenting!

I'd go with the official "discard after three days" statement. I didn't follow this instruction. Once.

looks like a job for @JulioMiles.
