I feel for you @SpikeX. It is a huge violation when someone attempts to steal your private information and your hard-earned money. Thanks for the heads up. It's always good to be reminded to keep vigilant in this area.
livingparadox - Aug 08, 2014 6:58pm
I'm going to agree with everything you said minus the first and last statements. I think @ana is supposed to be the "hired someone in a position that would be able to make the correct moves in regards to communications", as things seem to be improving…

Queal costs $214.65 for 90 meals per month on the subscription plan, in today's Euro to Dollar conversion, anyway. It has a variety of flavors and formulations. This is exciting stuff! We all knew that Soylent was going to bring a food revolution.…

After long discussions with customer service it turned out that FedEx is currently having problems shipping to my address Is it possible to reship the order via UPS? I can pay for extra charges of course.

You are right, of course. However, this is what was stated in his original post: SpikeX said: I got e-mails from my bank and other sites informing me that my account had had its security breached. That would seem to suggest that passwords had been…

Changing your address on Backerkit won't have any effect, as they exported all addresses from it a while back. You'd have to email info@soylent.me or tag the Soylent team in the forums, as @livingparadox has already done.
Shiori - Aug 08, 2014 5:08pm
I just had my Soylent for lunch. Since I'm going to be good and follow their advice to not jump straight in to 3 meals a day, I'm planning on having a farewell-to-food Hot Pocket tonight.

Question: How to determine how long it takes for Soylent to complete its journey through your body. Does gender or age matter?Answer: Add food coloring (green of course) to Soylent, consume, wait, and observe. Any others?
EveB - Aug 08, 2014 4:22pm
Products like this look promising, but at this point that one is not for purchase (only pre-orders). They say they will start shipping in Spring 2015 and will charge your card now. Also, Vitamin D testing is not a problem for me, it's one of the few…

I'm actually having my first glass right now, which for me is dinner

The sweetness mainly comes from the vanillin and maltodextrin (sp?)

I use this one, it's not quite half a day of Soylent, but I drink about half my breakfast before I go to work at 5:30, and when I get home it's still cold at 3:30. Actually the other day I ate lunch at the office and forgot that I still had Soylent in…
whitslack - Aug 08, 2014 3:49pm
I, too, am pretty miffed that sucralose was snuck into what I was led to believe would be a pure product. Soylent is too sweet as it stands now, and I wonder if omitting the sucralose might actually make it more neutral. I drank a glass of Soylent hours…

Both of mine came from FedEx, but it may not be the same for everyone.
Tordenskjold - Aug 08, 2014 2:42pm
I think the "Range" suggestion by @livingparadox sounds like a great idea... one that even FDA should support. @MattCauble "Vitamin A: 15-20mg" as an example.
Tordenskjold - Aug 08, 2014 2:36pm
Glad to see more alternatives pop up specially here in Europe
Tordenskjold - Aug 08, 2014 2:31pm
This is good data, I would say it settles around there. Looking forward to when you get a chance to test distilled water. or perhaps even water with a starting pH closer to 7? wonder what Soylents pH would end at if it had a pH of 6
Matt88 - Aug 08, 2014 2:31pm
I think I found it https://cue.me looks like it is currently 200 USD. It sounds like it can only do 5 types of tests currently, but because of how its made, it can do additional tests, as they release the cartridges for it. Sounds like cartridges are…

I wonder if they'll get in trouble for putting this on their site: The Soylent of Europe, Nederland
gannas - Aug 08, 2014 2:11pm
24 hours after initial mix: 6.6 I would say that this is within margin of error and there has been no real change.
snark - Aug 08, 2014 1:55pm
Just when I was trying to decide to go with Joylent, it's nice to see alternatives come in. And I like the fact they have a choice of flavors.
Lajamerr - Aug 08, 2014 1:50pm
I guess this isn't very useful this community since everyone is very knowledgeable on the subject.
michael_slosson - Aug 08, 2014 1:29pm
I think most things have such different amounts for the RDA and Max intake that you'll be fine even if Soylent is 3x everything. Remember that these are sustained intakes that matter, and it's hard to need 2 grams of something, but for 3 grams to be toxic.
cicadymn - Aug 08, 2014 1:26pm
Actually, I highly recommend avoiding LastPass like the plague. If you hadn't heard LastPass has a couple of massive Security Issues that were in place for a year that kind of made it worthless. Their response was a subtle blog post with a non-descriptive…
michael_slosson - Aug 08, 2014 1:14pm
When you do get your Soylent, try to remember the first rule of toxicology--the dose makes the poison. I believe you that sucralose can cause your headaches; we're all different and respond differently to different things. I just hope you can avoid giving…

Thanks for all the information. This has been extremely helpful. Not that I was worried, but I do know someone who had kidney stones once that's interesting in trying it, so I'm delighted to see I have a strong case.
kennufs - Aug 08, 2014 6:25am
I can't imagine needing a few more calories would put you in keto with as many carbs as Soylent has, maybe if someone was so extraordinary active that they burned the carbs off as fast as they ate them, but in general you're probably going to need to…

The in-house mixing of Soylent was only during the beta tester phase. All Soylent 1.0 that has shipped has come from RFI. they have plans for future in-house packing, but they're not there yet.
Ari - Aug 08, 2014 4:58am

Great! I'll keep posting. I'm in the middle of a move right now, but I'll keep posting later. And I think it might be too much to say it "does not work". It's not that I feel terrible or anything, just a little less "100%". I might be unusual in that…
livingparadox - Aug 08, 2014 4:48am
The majority of time I don't. And the effects are directly correlated with additional oil. I don't know what else to attribute them to... I thought it was weird to, given I'm not actually low carb. But I was also usually hungry before I added the…

I wasn't sure if you were giving into the cravings. Symptoms sound strange, I'm not sure where they would be coming from so long as you're eating a normal amount of food. You're definitely not in keto, if Soylent is your main staple you're getting ~50%…

How long had you been on Soylent? Perhaps it is hunger headaches? I don't think you can blame it on the oil to be honest... But you could actually blame the dreams/nightmares on the headaches

Does anyone here using Soylent suffer from gastritis or stomach ulcers? What effects has it had for you? There are lots of foods you are supposed avoid if you have these conditions, I'm hoping Soylent won't be one of them.

Yeah, the starter kit isn't even shipped with the same shipping carrier. IIRC, they are shipping with USPS for the starter kit, and with FedEx for the Soylent.
