Definitely a great start. Don't worry about how often you have Soylent... that's the true beauty of it IMO, that it just fits in whenever you want it to. It's the ultimate fallback for when there isn't something else better available, or you just aren't…

You have no idea what I do or don't understand. Just because I happen to be fortunate enough to have Soylent, doesn't mean I don't know all too well the frustrations of not receiving something due to delay after delay after delay. Or hell, even due…

Ah rats... I just looked at the PDF and they are slides without context, clearly meant to be narrated. So most of them aren't of use to me since I don't know what they refer to. Anyone have any suggestions on where I can go to find datapoints on all…

Most awesome of you @rob, thanks so much!!

mega +1 on adding the oil the next day. Makes a huge difference.

Probably kinda goes without saying seeing as I think we're currently halfway through our 4th order... =)

True, true. I took a suggestion off the instructions and mixed some peanut butter & jelly into my last batch. I swear, this now tastes like drinking a PB&J sandwich. I find myself wanting a glass of milk to go with it

Meaning that you are so happy and satisfied with the product that you plan on continuing for a extended period...Discounting the current delivery/fulfillment issues now of course. I plan on going past the 6 months I'm waiting for, based on the amazing…

You may want to try omitting the oil until the following morning too. A lot of people (including myself) have found this to help with the smoothness quite a bit.

I use 1.6L of water when I mix up a days worth. I also use an immersion blender to get it nice and smooth.

Go to 1.6liters water skip the ice if your refrigerating overnight. Should smooth it out for you

I used the recommended one pouch + 1 liter of water with some ice and oil in my blender. I let it sit overnight, but this morning for my first try (after another few shakes) I'm finding a lot of fine mixture powder/particles are left in my mouth, making…

Absolutely not. I completely disagree with this concept in it's entirety. Sorry, what I meant to say was ...Sure, sounds good to me

@Karunamon, I'm really glad it works for you. But, individual taste is so subjective there will be others who disagree. Although now some esoteric exercise in patience, I can still manage to look forward to receiving my pre-order & finding out for myself…

Don't apologize, vadim. Those who have do not understand those who don't.Vanclute is a fanboy...Soylent can do no wrong in his eyes. So anything you say against Soylent insults him. Those of us waiting for the order we placed OVER A YEAR AGO have the…

It will be send 13:00

Yup, if you mix a full days worth to be 2 liters.

Right. So simple carbs and sugars are bad, but complex carbs are fine.

In that case I completely misunderstood. Haha. I would support it.

There are a lot of variables such as monosaccharides vs polysaccharides with sugar, (in all its different forms and structure) fiber content in the carbs, etc. High fructose corn syrup is also starting to be seen as a major correlation with diabetes as…

I have a lot of thoughts and data on the manner I'm seeking to write more about. In the meantime here are the slides from the SXSW panel: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/418649/SXSW%20Panel.pdf

I've seen several posts here mentioning how a diet high in carbs increases the risk of diabetes. This seems ridiculous to me. I'm not a dietician, but saying that carbs cause diabetes sounds like saying that plants are poisonous. Some carbs (sugar) cause…

This is very close, thanks! I didn't find this when I was googling around. What it's missing though is topics about health. I think a wiki might be the best approach to that.

Here you go:http://www.powderedfoods.com/Is this what you are looking for?

There's now a ton of informaton and a ton of DIY soylent available, and it's difficult to know what all of the options are. It would be nice if there was a website, or a stickied post with up to date (perhaps a month old at most) information about DIY…

So are we still looking at 500 calories per .5 liters in the final mixed product?

Just sent a request by email to increase my order and some questions about what I'm seeing in my portal. Hopefully somebody will be able to help @JulioMiles @MattCauble

That makes total sense!

I think the OP may have intended to say a new subforum, yes--in which case I completely agree, it'd be a welcome thing.

It was Launch 2014. Not sure if this is the full video.

I think he was on a panel like that at SXSW.

He was on a panel at something.. I think he talked about it a bit there. Unfortunately i cannot remember what it was called. I was a few months ago. On the stage with him was a guy who was making and egg replacement out of plants.

Xylitol can doubtless cause stomach distress, but you usually need to have a lot more of it than some of the other polyols like sorbitol to cause that. I used to eat it sometimes, I quite like it, it's relatively expensive though; I never had any stomach…

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

Wouldn't it make sense to use tightly packed measurements, which tend to be more uniform than loosely packed? Tightly packing allows scooping from inside the package against the package wall, rather than pouring into the scoop (to maintain fluffing),…

Ok, so I would love a confirmation of the following deductions: The calorie count of the full packet & and oil bottle of Soylent is 2010 calories. A scoop of soylent is 1/5 serving, which should be mixed with roughly 1/5 of the oil for 402 calories.…

Some of the negativity on these forums have been from the same small group of vocal people. The issue for most of us was never that they complained as their complains were valid in most cases, but the negativity that followed along. Things seem to be…

If nothing else, I'd say it may deserve a new sub-forum heading 'Mod Soylent' or "Customizing Soylent". If enough people like the idea, @codinghorror may add it to his to-do list.

I'll try to arrange it to be send to my first travel destination, still I'm quite annoyed. Thought only Soylent would be printing labels and not sending them.

Hey, I am very sorry. It got mixed up somewhere because your order is printed but not send. I will make a new one. Do you want me to send it tomorrow? Or wait for you to get back? Or refund? My apologies, Joey

It's good to hear positive statements like this. There is so much negativity on this forum. Some of it is valid, some of it isn't. My life is better now even though I'm one of the "one week" orders and have never seen or tasted real Soylent. DIY soylent…

Exactly and DIY soylent site code could easily be adopted to this too. So we has rates, how popular and such. Only thing not needed is completeness of recipe since official soylent is assumed to be complete of course.

Well, it would certainly be more organized than this: http://discourse.soylent.me/t/abnormal-soylent-food-experiment-log/14066

Another item of note: I am finding it incredibly difficult to have Soylent more than once a day. I've had it for lunch a few times, and I think dinner once, but never three times a day. I really like Soylent, but I'm craving "normal food" things far too…

Tried 1/4 teaspoon Hershey's Special Dark baking cocoa in this morning's cup. It did not mix well at all. I basically just had a bunch of floating chunks of the stuff. Will need to try it again with the magic bullet. Also, here's a cross-post from @shadowhawkxx's…

I ordered back in October of last year, and received my Soylent last week. It's great. The second day was a bit rough - a big ole' headache and some digestive nonsense - but I think that's at least partly because, in my rush to try it, I forgot to add…

It sounds interesting but what would the site do that the forums couldn't?

There's Official Soylent and there's DIY soylent, but both does not cover one idea I have... What about Mod Soylent? Site where people showcase ways to do stuff with official Soylent like say adding flavors, baking cookies, so on.

That is a great idea! Put additional stuff that does not cover requirement (such as sucralose) into seperate packets. What about ability to select different sweeteners including normal sugar. Hell, if has this, why not have flavor packages? I bet that'd…

I no longer want my Soylent 1.0. I just need the money right now. I live near ogden in Utah so if you are near here and want Soylent 1.0 I have about one months worth!. I'll sell you one bag for $15 or 26 bags for $300. I'll also ship it to you if…

Are they really at Jan orders?! That is great news I ordered a months worth in February It seems like I'm getting closer!

A) no its not B) yes..i can compare anything to anything as long as there is a correlation. i never said it was AS BAD as that thing...i said it was LIKE that thing..which it is in that you're being thanked for allowing a thing to happen to you without…

I could swear that somewhere I read @rob making points about Soylent production vs. conventional agriculture, animal farming, etc. I'd like to find those data points again, can anyone possibly link me to them if you happen to remember where they were?…

Apologies for the ommison. I'm sure we all would like to see international backer orders going out.

Everyone keeps saying "all" while conveniently forgetting international backers...

Ahh ok, I guess if you drink a very small quantity per day, then yeah it might go bad too quickly. I didn't take into account single individuals only using Soylent occasionally.

Wow... do you really think a) a statement like that is appropriate here and b) you can compare your Soylent being late to such a horrible thing?

Flagged content temporarily hidden.

Just guessing but all crowd funding orders likely to be done fairly soon If you don't want to wait email info@soylent.me to request a refund. You may also want to be sure your shipping info was collected.

Ten days ago they said to expect all backer orders to be completed within 8-10 weeks, so you should expect your order by the end of September, if you were an early backer you may see it in August. ana said: Based on the production and fulfillment…

They are still not at the one week orders. It will be quite a bit longer before they get to them, and they will then ship them in the order they received. Shipping seems to have been ramped up recently, so they're is no saying when they will get to you.…

I paid $60 to crowd fund this and received nothing in return. This was about a year ago. May I please have either the money back or the product I paid for?

I've been using one scoop a day because if I drink anymore than that it results in excessive amounts of gas. If I made a pitcher it would take me 5 days to finish it.

(Day 3) -Dreamt about pizza last night. Dreaded my soylent a bit this morning, but once I tasted it I felt better about it. -stool was a couple shades lighter, much denser and had much less volume than normal. Makes sense, I've heard the same thing…

The powder keeps longer, so if you're just making a meal or two, you put the leftover powder in a ziploc baggy. You could freeze leftover Soylent, but it's easier to do the baggies. For people doing mostly or 100% Soylent, the pitchers definitely work…

Paul F. Tomkins' comedy show with puppets.

I still don't understand why anyone prepares Soylent by the scoop. Do they just not have the pitcher (or a comparable one)? It seems far more sensible to me to just mix up the entire pouch and drink until it's all gone. Even if it takes you 2-3 days,…

No, still the same scoop. They have not updated it, and have not said if/when they will.

Thanks, all. I've had a couple of cups of it, and it seems fine.

What the hell WAS that?? LOL

I've taken it with me to church, where it was left in my car for 3 or so hours and it was fine. I have a half hour drive to and from work, and also have it out for that period of time as well, and still I have yet to experience my Soylent going bad.…

So do the new shipments of soylent have the correct sized scoop or is there any idea when the correct sized scoops will be implemented?

I'm guessing that in the absence of checking for smell, you could take a small sip to check. If it tastes sour, spit it out and rinse your mouth out with water. That's what I do with milk sometimes since I can't tell by smell all the time.

You can keep it out longer if it's in a good insulated container that keeps it cold. Check this topic. (Most people think it tastes better colder as well.)

I double checked. No email. I'm not worried other than if others are missing emails too. Plenty of customers do not visit this forum and would still be expecting their shipment within the original window.The only thing I can think of is that they haven't…

@Benji - according to the prep page the caloric quantities per scoop that I measured were including the oil. I think you are right though that the numbers shown on the prep page actually don't include the oil (which you correctly point out is a different…

I think I remember reading a post by @MattCauble saying he had drank it after about a day of non-refrigeration and it was fine but it probably shouldn't go much longer than that.

Just dentist kid FYI: whiter teeth is not necessarily an indicator of improved health.

Thank you, Ive been on this stack for the past week. And I have managed to ween my self off adderall and use this to help me focus. Much better for my body and mind in the long run. And very comparable effects minus the energy of a amphetamine, but the…

Sorry to say @ddanford but People Chow (name changed to People Fuel recently?) is going to be pretty gritty. The masa is responsible, it's the same stuff used to make corn tortillas. I got used to the texture, but not the flavor, and ended up adding flavorings…

Obviously I'm not trying to argue about how you feel after drink Soylent vs a smoothie, and Soylent isn't for everyone, you wouldn't be the first or last person who's physiology just wasn't compatable with it. But just for comparison, your apple, beet,…

I had the same result - 5 scoops of soylent per pouch. I posted about it here.

When I can't find something in my regular mail or spam sometimes it's in the "all mail" section. I got it on 7/24 if that helps.

Parody in the style of Bluelight and so many other forums; hilarious! Translation for those unfamiliar with that paper shield of an acronym: SWIM = Someone Who Isn't Me

Come to think of it, I have not received that email myself. I regularly check all of my tabs and I just went and looked at the last 30 days of spam in case Google sent it there for some reason. No luck.I placed a recurring 28-day order on July 5 (2014).…

I made some Soylent the night before last and took it to work with me in the morning. (Added the oil n the morning, if that's relevant.) I refrigerated it there until lunch, then took it out (in the starter kit pitcher) and kept it with me until I got…

I just added this review to www.custombodyfuel.com: Axcho warned me when I ordered this that it is completely unsweetened as per Justin’s request. I’m not big on sweets so I went ahead with the order. I’m very happy with it! It is indeed not sweet.My…

Ah, sorry about that... I un-boxified my gmail immediately. I prune it frequently so I don't need more than one tab for it.

Sigh, looks like Google just didn't find that email important enough to go in my main mail box. Oh well.

Oh really? That would be wonderful...I was getting ready to order from spaceman or axcho because I had been hoping it would be there by the time I get home (I'm visiting my family right now). Better dig through my inbox to be sure though.

Well, (if I can find the quote), @ana mentioned that the emails only went out to those who are being affected by the delay. So if you didn't get the email, that should mean your order will come in the stated delivery time ( I think). And haha, good…

Oh no, that's not productive at all haha. I wouldn't have posted if that was the kind of thing I was trying to get at - I see enough of that on here and don't need to be another one of those voices.

Also I actually never got that email...The only reason I even know about the delay is because I spend some time lurking whenever the discourse digest comes.

Valid. Your frustration is reasonable. Just thought the thread was going to go into one of those "ROSA LABS IS A LIAR!" direction, and I did not want that. Hopefully they really did get their act together this time, and there won't be any more delays…

I'll try cinnamon and cayenne. Hopefully my next batch gets a little better mixed and isn't so gritty, or I just get used to the texture. Thanks for the info!

Just to better understand your motive, why are you opting to chew on belt leather instead of using food or gum? I think it would help everyone if we had more context, because I have difficulty imagining a situation where belt leather might be a first…

Hahaha. Thanks for that
