It's funny that people will demonize Soylent and not say anything bad about fast food. I should qualify that last bit. Everybody says fast food is bad so I don't take the normal "fast food is bad, mkay" to really mean anything. I would definitely say…

Um, looks like you guys got this handled. I had written up a similar post last night, but then the board went down. Here's what I was going to say, so throw my vote in with the 60% chlorine and 40% sodium. Table salt should be just NaCl: one sodium…

He caught his 6*7=36 mistake and fixed it further in the video. I was a math/computer science major and I just got stuck on the math error. It was like huge relief when he caught it. Yes, I'm weird that way.

Let's go over starches. The naturally occurring polymers in starches are amylose and amylopectin, and some of the common carbs derived from them are maltodextrin, waxy maize starch, and highly branched cyclic dextrin. Amylose is made up of very long…

I ordered one week back in November. I know B6 can trigger vivid dreams, maybe you were deficient there before.

After tasting the Alpha version and going back to the old version for a couple of days after, I definitely notice the new formula has increased grittiness. When I swallow, it almost feels like some of it gets to the back area of my mouth/throat. Has…

I gave my cat a little DIY soylent and it threw up about 15 minutes later. I'm not sure if that was directly from the soylent or not. He had thrown up a couple of time earlier in the week which isn't like him. I don't think I gave him enough to do anything…

Glad to hear <3 @MattCauble

Time for a communications storm! Flooding us with information! Blowing us away with cat 5 intensity Knocking down the walls of ...Ok, I'm done....:-)

We have just transitioned to a new oil bottle that doesn't seem to leak at all. Please look out for it in future shipments and let me know if you have any more feedback.

Gorilla walks into a health food store in NYC and asks the scantily clad customer service rep where the Pre-Packaged, already mixed Soylent is.

Nicely done Aussies.

Just wanted to provide a brief review after trying Ax Fuel, Michael Fuel and Spencer Fuel from Axcho. All great !!! I think Axcho does a great job of describing what each product taste like. The only flavor I did not enjoy so far was People Fuel, which…

The main reason for starters is that, of all the orders Rosa has accepted, only the re-orders could possibly have been done by telephone or in writing. From the rule: What does the rule cover?It applies to most goods a customer orders from the seller…

And here is another one http://discourse.soylent.me/t/heheheh-joke-from-matts-blog/4996/4

Hello everyone If you have some good joke or meme about soylent, make sure to post it here One of my one to start with: http://i.imgur.com/nF0n6Pg.jpg

Thanks for the link. They did a nice job.

Opinions on HIGHLY BRANCHED CYCLIC DEXTRIN please. On the surface it appears to be a superior replacement for Maltodextrin, would be it safe to consume 100g per day of this?

I am diying because I see optimized food as THE solution to the bleak outlook we face in future iterations of the human infestation of the planet. as our population increases, we need to become smarter about how we deplete our planets nutritional resources.…

Thanks. Of course I would need to figure out what the daily calculation for my powder would be. Also I noticed that he somehow came up with 6*7 = 36 instead of 42. Also I did skip ahead to the end, but did he forget the oil? Anyhow I guess what I really…

Over the next couple of days I'll be repackaging all the Soylent I've gotten to stop any more oil leaks.

Welcome to the jungle! Lots of info as to why and what in this forum...Kick back and stay awhile.

Some oil spills out from the oil containers if left too long laying down. I'd say this has been in storage for about 2 months. The most oil lost was about 5 grams so its not too bad, just an oily mess. 2014-08-11 13.47.32.jpg3264x1836 1.25 MB …

It's not about money. They only have one plant churning out the packages.

That link isn't working for me.

FYI it's pretty easy to mix a week up at the same time http://www.thebairs.net/2014/06/mixing-up-soylent-ingredients-for-7-days-at-a-time/ - I get a better blend with moar consistency and it's way faster than doing it a day at a time.

Doing some quick math with the numbers they've given us..100k+ pouches shipped out so far.. which if we go by the 100k single day pouches mark, and they only ship during business days.. they're shipping between 50-60 one month orders a day... so I'd say…

Jrowe, it isn't the fact of the existence of joylent, it is the how. Their user experience story (as to the discovery of and reason to switch to) were plainly fabricated. Then, there is the name. I'm guessing that a trademark judge could simply give…

That's crazy. Why not seek additional VC or Crowdfunding to accelerate this?

When are you expecting your order?

My biggest problem now is that I want to sleep more for those awesome dreams but I have so much energy I'm sleeping less. Even in the morning when I wake I can't fall back asleep like I used to.

It's quite possible. I think it could either be the b vitamins or the potassium. I know I was lacking in both. A few weeks before Soylent I started supplementing iodine also and dreams got a little better but nothing like they are now.

Sorry, frank, if I misread your email. I did not browse the whole site. Did you get the impression that I don't like whiners? That much is, chuckle, pretty clear. The main reason for starters is that, of all the orders Rosa has accepted, only…

Would I have a reason for believing otherwise?

On my DIY I add my 2 cups of milk to the bottom then add the powder, the rest of the liquid (I have a bigger container so I have space even with all my liquid added). I noticed a huge difference when I started doing that, so I too recommend water first,…

@Vicc when you wake up, let me know if I was misunderstanding the wording or if I was right, because honestly I am not 100% sure anymore perhaps someone else can take a jab also?

@aussiesoylent is yes, he linked it earlier. I am worried that they/he says it is "made with love" I would prefer a lack of "love" in Soylent That being said, great interview/video for the Soylent movement.

I did some further reading on wikipedia... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt#Fortified_table_salt down where it says "In France, 35% of the table salt sold contains added sodium fluoride.[39]" and higher up it says "Table salt is a refined salt containing…

http://www.aussiesoylent.com.au/ woohoo! news.com.au has an article about Soylent and a start-up in AUS.... can wait for it! Is someone from here running this? Need a beta tester?

Interesting. It sounds like you had a reasonably healthy diet before Soylent. I wonder which part of Soylent is causing the vivid dreams. I know Vanclute's dream life has really been affected too. Since Soylent only has about 100% of the daily vitamins,…

OK, you are correct and About.com is correct. About.com provided the ratio by volume, and I carelessly treated it as ratio by weight. And by fluke the sodium:chloride ratio is 60:40 by volume and 40:60 by weight. Which led me to quickly assume you had…

@Lucy I would have answered you faster, but the forum went down while I was about to post heh Did you get the answere you needed?

It's 2:30 here, I should just go to sleep...

The chloride is heavier than the sodium/natrium so it is not reversed heh Edit: My calculation is as close to the real value as it gets depending on the accuracy of the periodic table that was used . Unless I made a big mistake... Then that is how you…

It must be moles per gram. So your math is correct but the ratio is reversed. Or something. Darnit I'm confused, it's just inconceivable that About.com could be wrong about anything.

It is 1 chloride atom per sodium/natrium atoms 1:1 Sodium is about 22.99g per mole while chloride is 35.45g per mole That means that 22.99+35.45=58.44 35.45/58.44=0.6066 That means 1 gram of salt contains 0.6066 grams of chloride or about that depending…

Edit: disregard this post and see below Chloride Requirements and Dietary Sources It's easy to find chloride in foods, so deficiency is rare. Table salt and sea salt are both 40 percent chloride by volume so you'll consume chloride every time you add…

I just got a shipping notification for my 4 week order as well, so it would certainly appear as such

Larger orders first was a decision made to fufill a backlog of orders placed before production began, orders placed after 5/6/14 will be shipped FIFO

Hi there, I bought a bag of plain common salt without the added iodine. I am hunting around trying to find the chloride content of table salt in mg. I have tried Nutrition Data but the chloride content is missing from the mineral analysis panel. See:…

Again, the amount sold on eBay, while it may be frustrating as hell to people who haven't gotten their own first shipments yet, is a vanishingly tiny percentage of the Soylent shipped so far. Be mad at the resellers, but it hasn't slowed your own shipment…

Brando said: Meanwhile you see profiteers auctioning their Soylent on Ebay for 2x or 3x the actual cost...rinse & repeat when their large monthly subscription is resupplied. Seems they could purchase and resell more by simply placing multiple reorders…

Just a reminder -- all well and good to disagree with ideas and concepts, less well and good to target people. "I feel that __" > "You are a __"

Seems that most voicing their opinion are in favor of FIFO rather than fulfillment based on order size. RL should listen to the majority of their customers and consider FIFO...I'm certain that polling us would reflect the FIFO preference. Meanwhile…

I do look forward to when they change the recipe to be less farty

Julio is throwing Soylent all over the place :3

Not that you are wrong in everything else... But Soylent welcomes healthy competition. The community at large also accepts alternatives. The guy behind Joylent is a blessing to Soylent until they start shipping to Europe in my eyes.

Or, they've got the right to complain just as much as you have the right to get on the soapbox. Also, why the swipe at Joylent? It may be years (plural) before the logistics, economics, and trade legalities permit Soylent to be a viable option in any…

I loved the original Schmoylent. I turned on a few extra customers for you by letting them try it. I hope the taste and texture isn't too different. @Axcho, is rice flour better than maltodextrin? I don't know much about either than them being carb…

Was able to find your order based on your discourse account info. It'll be sent out tomorrow. Thanks again!

My usual food has been pretty regular for a few years. Either oatmeal with berries or other fruit with local honey or eggs, bacon and cheese with toast for breakfast. For lunch I would usually have a sardine sandwich with corn chips. For dinner homemade…

Crap. I totally forgot to add it. Thank you so much for reminding me.

I got the email that my kit is shipping today, (not my Soylent, but it's a start), but in the processes of tracking it this came up. Care to weigh in @JulioMiles?

If you used the same email on your Soylent account as your Forum account, they can find it relatively easily.

One thing I noticed was that you didn't add the 1/4 tsp of salt as recommended. Or at least, I didn't see that happen. Do people normally do that after dumping it into the pitcher and before the first fill-up?

I sampled it as well and the flavor is just like Schmoylent but the texture is more like Soylent. I liked it and I hope he switches his stuff.

It's good to hear positive reports like this, lucid dreams are awesome. I'm curious, what was your diet like before Soylent?

It's no threat to culinary culture at all. Honest. It's mostly replacing crappy convenience food, not culinary foodie fare. Lots of people are both eating Soylent and going out to nice restaurants. I'm sure some people are even eating Soylent and…

I have sampled @axcho's Clean Fuel, which uses rice flour for its carbs. While the flavor wasn't for me--and that's something you'll tinker with your recipe to perfect to your own taste--as a soylent, it was a perfectly satisfactory day worth of meals.

This post was flagged by the community and is temporarily hidden.

Thanks for the response. Do I need to send my information via e-mail, or is my soylent account already linked to my forum account on here?

Stuck between 1 and 2 week subscriptions. I use 1 meal a day out of the 3 meal bag. That means 1 week = 3 and 2 = 6 and so on. 3 weeks won't cover a full month and 6 weeks is too much coverage for 4 weeks. Is it possible to customize the subscription…

I'd probably still use it....umm for science right?

Please discard the pouch and we'll ship you another. Thanks for reporting the issue -- we're working with the manufacturer to reducing the incidence of mis-sealed pouches.

Hi, I've been using soylent for a few months now and have really enjoyed it. No major issues thus far. While I was unpacking my latest monthly shipment into cabinets, I noticed that one of the pouches had never been properly sealed. That is, there is…

I was using a 4L pitcher and filling it a bit over half and I enjoyed that more than my ~ 2L Takeya I have now. My solution now is to pour my first meal about 3/4 soylent and 1/4 water and then fill up about half of what I poured out with water again.…

asympt said: f you were using the pitcher, it would come to more like a liter and a half (1.6 liters is what people say). It seems like the volume of powdered Soylent is less once mixed, so you end up gaining empty space in the pitcher for more water.…

Tom, well done. Looking forward to more of your updates.from: Not Matt's Brother.

Thanks everyone for your comments! I started this thread because I felt a little uncomfortable by how my friend perceived Soylent so differently than I expected. But I am glad to learn that there's no legit or shallow reasons to eat or not to eat Soylent.…

That's a great suggestion. I'll definitely give that a try!

well it actually seams to be a good substitute, will wait in suspense for the result.

@axcho is testing out replacing maltodextrin with rice flour in his Schmoylent recipe. http://diy.soylent.me/recipes/schmoylent-alpha

Talk to @axcho cause he just made us some samples with rice flour instead and it was great.
