More doesn't mean worse. I'd rather a grower used more of a herbicide that had a low impact on the environment than something that was brutal for the environment but had a friendly sounding label on it. But one key thing with Soylent is that by bringing…

First off, how did he get that thing on his truck? Secondly, maybe RL should jump on this. Soylent 2.0, now with Shark Protein!

This worries me a lot. @Koningsbruggen do you have any comments on this?

Could you check your distributor for Kosovo? I'd love to order the 15 meal package as an experiment. Up to 20 Euro shipping would be OK. Would be happy to pay in Bitcoin.

I assume yours was a vegan order? The tracker suggests they're only up to February for 1 month non-vegan orders.

Whaaat? I ordered mine March 10th, haven't heard anything yet. I assume it will be this week!

Hah... thank you for fixing that for me.

I see you on this list of people that should have an active subscription. We will activate the subscription at the end of the week. Hold tight and sorry for this delay.

From my understanding... It would be considered a reorder. It has nothing to so with subscription May I ask why you stopped and why you wanna try again?

That's be a question for @ana or @JulioMiles, but I'd say it'd probably be considered a new order given the gap.

Personally I'd recommend waiting if possible. I also ordered a month on April 9th, and according to FedEx I'll be getting my Soylent on Friday. At the pace they seem to be going currently I'd wager you'll probably be getting an email soon, maybe as soon…

I think it's cool how nice and helpful everyone was to the originator of this post. It's a testament to the kind of people that are involved in the Soylent community. I am not frustrated with the complainers, and I'm not frustrated with the people that…

In early June, I received my first month of Soylent from the Kickstarter, and I chose not to continue with any further orders. If I were to order again, would it be considered a new order or a subscription? I'm basically asking when I could expect to…

Ditto! Props to da Soylent team...Who are people btw...Unlike Soylent which is not people...Just sayin.

That thread has been re-opened. Maybe this post should be merged with that thread.

What an odd looking vehicle. Oh yeah, and a giant thing that I can only assume came out of a body of water.

I got my shipping email yesterday. Thanks.

Man, that must have been a hell of a fight, unless it was netted.

Just sayin

And you can buy his books. A nut - whether he means good or not - who is profiting off the ignorance of others. Sorry, just reread the links. Other people wrote the books. He just offers consultation at just over $1/minute. He clearly thinks a lot of…

@FNFollies - just PM'ed you. Pls. check right corner and click on the number next to bubble. @jrowe47 - I agree with you. It would be grateful if active forum users can collect hot cases for tests.

Sometimes you can judge a book by its cover, especially when it's appropriately labeled. In the first 10 seconds he's got Egyptian symbols such as the ankh and the eye of Ra, and reveals his website is called "Secrets of Longevity". Clearly he believes…

To clarify - you're getting your official Soylent 1 month order? Directly mailed to you, or re-shipped? I thought international orders were quite a ways off still... When did you order? (sorry for the questions, I ordered ages ago & live in your area)

Yeah, I'm planning on using the knowledge in the Longecity community to work out a DIY recipe geared towards health and longevity. I'll be starting threads in that forum and work slowly, so it'll take a while, but I'll be reporting in a thread here,…

looking forward to hearing about how it goes. Perhaps tell a little about your health before and after? (Weight, height... Maybe even blood tests from the past or history of deficiencies or previous diet?) we are a curious bunch

@MattCauble As I didn't see an email, just noting that I'm also seeing my shipment as January 2015 and I should have had my next shipment by now.

I ordered a version (Jennifer fuel) of Schmoylent from @axcho and received it within a week and it arrived last Friday. I have been waiting until now to make it because I wasn't sure how my body would react and I didn't want to be "adjusting" at work…

Tell them to come up with a soylent that they would consider very healthy

So I recently joined the longevity forum Longecity, home to a lot of very smart people and scientists interested in biology and extending human life. I mentioned I was on Joylent, and got this comment: The Joylent ingredient list looks incompetent and…

Initially, it was just a better stability in energy levels and focus. Nothing awe-inspiring, I just stopped having days where I didn't function right, mentally. And those happenned intermittently before. With my recent experiments, I've been experiencing…

I just said this in a different topic. My problem with herbicide tolerant GMO crops is precisely the "herbicide tolerant" part. What I'm eating? Yeah, not likely to make any difference to me. Making it possible to put a lot more herbicides into the…

Glad it's not something clearly bad; hope you feel better soon. When my oral surgeon needed to know what I'd last eaten before going under to have all the wisdom teeth out, I ended up saying it was a protein shake with rice protein and oat flour, and…

Out of curiosity, what kind of effects are you noticing and how long did they take to appear?

Oh man... took me 2 paragraphs to figure out this was humor. Whew!

I actually tried to listen to what he had to say... but after about 5 minutes of him saying a whole lot of nothing meaningful, I realized it was a 30 minute video and said "I don't think so..."

That article you linked... ugh. Remove the GMO and "chemical" fear-mongering and there are maybe two valid arguments against Soylent, which still do not stand up to science. Think about food as a pile of atoms. Someone or something forms them into molecules,…

Where do I verify my subscription?

Once you had recieved your first order... New orders from you would only take 1-2 weeks to get to you. Shame you didn't know this

It'd be interesting to have a panel of people from this forum (or the powdered foods forum) take part in the interview. Maybe for a day of food. A nutritionist should be grilled, and not lightly.

Looks like I just have a nasty infection that refuses to go away, no Crohn's or anything else. That is sort of a relief: I do not have any nasty disease, but I also do not have an explanation beyond what I have already received (which got me nowhere).…

@jrowe47 I agree that an autodidact nutritionist would be great. The problem is weeding the autodidact from the Google warriors. Hopefully @Spaceman can find someone that is able to tell the difference between the two (be it him or someone else trustworthy).…

I was also sent that video a few days ago. I spent the first 3 minutes trying to figure out what was going on with his collar. Then I realized I couldn't really understand what he was saying--something about the way the sound was recorded I think.

Oh gawd... not sure if this truly counts as "media" but someone just sent me this video to see what I thought about it... Right off the bat he clearly has done no research since he makes that typical stupid statement about how Soylent was named after…

You'll get your refund pretty soon, especially since you posted here. @MattCauble will likely be by to confirm it. Since I ordered my first month a bit after you did, I'm happy to be one order closer!

Absolutely. We are working on a fix such that subscriptions will be re-activated, shipped this week, and automatically be shipped every 28 days. An email to those affected will be going out shortly. Stay tuned.

yea,I can wait... ...Thanks for contacting Soylent! We are experiencing extremely high email volumes and will try to respond to order inquiries within 5-7 business days. We try to respond to all general questions and comments within 7-10 business days.…

They are actually prioritizing reorders for people who have received their first shipment over people who have received no shipment.

thanks, refund request sent... once they fix order system I will subscribe. I dont want to get 1 months worth of stuff without being able to continue to the 2nd month right away..

@FNFollies You have to have a trust level of "regular user" to send a PM, or @spaceman can PM you.

I am a Registered Dietitian in the U.S. and have done private consults involving Soylent and DIY soylent. I'm not seeing where I can private message you @Spaceman. But if you contact me I'd love to discuss.

? what is the surprise?

You're in for a surprise.

2014 this year , a few months ago....................

April 29th of what year?

Why no updates? Why are these forums so ulgy?Where is my Soylent, I ordered 1 month on Apr 29th.....Atlanta GA....Who do we contact to find out?

Since the thread was locked prematurely and without an answer of a fix . . . continuing the discussion from My Subscription Moved to 2015, Check Yours: JulioMiles said: @casssax @Daiceman both your shipments will be sent out tomorrow. There are still…

Same here... will have to wait. (better be worth it! /s)

I've always wondered how much fact is behind the conventional wisdom that "nobody drinks enough water". My body has always been rather good at telling me when I need to drink something...

Very excited to get the tracking email. My 1 month order should be here in just days!But with all the delays I took the leap into DIY months ago and have been quite happy with crude food 1.0. So now I am wondering if I want to give up my custom blend…

From what is mentioned above 1 bag is 3 servings, and if I remember correctly 1 serving is 670 calories with oil. So your "In other words..." are all correct. My first day with Soylent was Saturday and I'm easing into it as recommended, and I find that…

http://diy.soylent.me/shipment-tracker?sort=shipmentTracker.soylentTrackingEmail&dir=desc

I believe at least one of the Soylent team mentioned that amending the subscription plan software is on their agenda. I'm in a similar position. I ordered a month, but if I decide that the concept is a good one (which will probably take a week), then…

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

I think the purpose of this topic was pretty fully addressed a while ago -- Daiceman said: some bug in the system moved my next shipment date to January 2015[. . .]is this a known issue? JulioMiles said: both your shipments will be sent out tomorrow.…

I expect to be using Soylent for as long as someone makes it.

I did try to base my recipe off a popular recipe, but there are quite a few changes that I had to do to ensure there was a lot amount of protein.

I'd made a suggestion like this here, but it never happened. discourse.soylent.me Soylent Recipes category? Since more people are getting Official Soylent, there are more recipes popping up. Should a new category be created…

I also +1 on adding oil after an overnight soak. Also, since you're doing the overnight soak, just use water. No need for ice if you're chilling it overnight.

Sadly, @isaackotlicky hasn't visited since the end of May. I'd love to see him back in the community, though. I'd also love to again hear from @J_Jeffrey_Bragg. He was making an whole foods Soylent, but he disappeared from here as well.

davidhunternyc said: Soylent is just too sweet for me. I sometimes add 2 TBSP of Hershey's Special Dark cocoa powder to my bag of Soylent powder before mixing. It masks the sweetness nicely, and gives it a dark chocolate flavor. davidhunternyc said:

@katemcmillen: Sometimes the sucralose taste bugs me too. What I've found is that adding 2 TBSP of Hershey's Special Dark cocoa powder to the dry mix eliminates the taste+aftertaste of the sucralose. Perhaps you could give it a try?

@VincentA If you want your money back, you can always request a refund. They're happy to oblige.

Thanks, that was what I was thinking, but hoped there was a secret way to just update so I don't have 2 subscriptions under my account. Oh well, guess I'll deal for now. @JulioMiles I would just like make sure I get refunded for the subscription (2w)…

Looks fine in terms of nutrition. Sulphur is normally found in protein in suficient amounts so I would assume that it is higher than indicated in reality Other than that there could be done some tweaking to get slightly less of some things and slightly…

Ok I get it now, lol...It's nestled in the Other category and has this piece in it...Thanks!

I'm just guessing here, but I think you could just cancel your two week subscription and start a 4 week one. You can get clarification from Rosa Labs but I think that as long as your using the same email address you should be fine.

Soylent in the Media I suspect @biab meant for you to type media in the search box, the above link is the first found.

Search "Soylent in the media"

So, prior to receiving my initial order, I went ahead and signed up for just the 2w subscription in case I found out I didn't like Official or whatever. I found out I really like and want to change my subscription from 2w to 4w. Anyone have an idea on…

Search for "media" and it should show up

I don't think it's so much that high carbs cause diabetes, but once you have diabetes high carbs are problematic. Complex carbs with a high GI rating are better of course, but in my case I see a large spike in my Blood Sugar shortly after my Soylent.…

Where can I find it..>Don't see it Didn't even see that...Thanks

Is there any reason why we can't receive our starter kits while we ride out the delay? Many of us can use the pitcher & scoop in the meantime for DIY (and we've already been charged $$). @JulioMiles

post it in Soylent in the media, there is a list there

Comes up as a date in July for me, but the cover says May... www.newyorker.com The End of Food - The New Yorker In December of 2012, three young men were living in a claustrophobic apartment in San Francisco’s Tenderloin…

I'm never going to give it up. Haha. This stuff does too much for me to go back to normal food. I should be expecting my second reorder soon.

Ah shame on me... editing original to include link to twitter, hopefully that one you can see.

Can't see that from work, but I'm likin it anyways
