This happened to me too, i was using google chrome on my iphone

I'll take the girl in the red dress over the tasty wheat

Yeah, the pieces are so small that it's difficult to chew just one. Two is sufficient for me -- a fresh fruit flavor plus a cinnamon flavor is a good combination, or just two fresh fruits. I tried the Epic Dental brand due to its larger size, and one…

I chew this gum, three pieces at once. I bought it so I'd have something to chew on when I switched to Soylent.

I use about 10 grams per day in my DIY as well as chewing xylitol gum 2-3 times per day. Stomach problems should be a non-issue if you ramp up gradually rather than going straight from no xylitol to a lot of xylitol. Personally I haven't noticed anything…

Those instructions are 'wrong' one day mixed in the pitcher is ~1.6L

Today and yesterday I have been intermittently experiencing a bug in Discourse. Sometimes when I click the heart icon below a post, it almost immediately reverts to its un-'liked' state. It is as if Discourse is displaying the graphic object but not…

This is so awesome and quite frankly exciting. www.cnn.com Can a palm weevil cure world hunger? Can a palm weevil cure world hunger? Five MBA students are banking their business on it.

I see, i agree with your view about not using 2000 cal as as indicator i wanted to ask the question of hunger just to see which formulas make people feel more full and want to reach for outside food less. Also i found Tim's research in The 4 hour body…

It's not just here, he's had a lot of posts deleted from /r/soylent (hasn't posted there lately; maybe banned?) and posts hateful/racist/anti-semitic stuff all over Reddit.

I have to change my address before my order ships and I've tried pretty much everything including: PM'ing Julio, contacting the info@soylent.me email etc. the only thing I haven't done is make a thread and tagging everyone in it. @JulioMiles @MattCauble…

This is completely irrelevant, but fair warning: Xylitol's endothermic reaction causes funky side effects in any flavor it touches. Case in point, I love cinnamon gum, but the last xylitol cinnamon gum I tried I had trouble chewing because it didn't really…

For me its not about whether I feel hungry or not, its about what the body needs. If I eat 2000 a day and do the same amount of exercise I will lose weight, which is ok this time of year, I could do with losing a bit of fat for the beach. But I would…

because he insults them in the good name of soylent! he defends rosa labs, that means he can say what he pleases. yet if you say something negative about rosa, even if it really isn't insulting, you'll get flag spammed. this is also why i absolutely…

Pretty obvious satire.

I like how he uses matrix as an example of anti Soylent... When matrix was basically pro Soylent (the guy who wanted his beef betrayed everyone)

You aren't kidding... lmfao Quote from the Facebook page in question: This is more than just about Soylent. This is about everything that Soylent believes, stands for, and represents! This is an anti establishment movement. This is about saying "That…

Bacon flavored Soylent, hummmmm might work.

I stand corrected. please accept my appology edit: @ana could you post the discourse thread to the blog?

I hear DeNiro mentioned Soylent in his new book...:-)

The facebook page is hilariously terrible.

All press is good press! Hopefully exposure this will turn a few more people on to Soylent and it's benefits.

The root of all discontent is violated expectations. Moreso when willful.

Not worried, the people who think like that would never have been a Soylent user anyway

This is just lame. Someone spammed our Youtube channel today but it looks like Youtube nuked it before it ever was seen. I got an email notification with the comment in it though, and they're promoting a "boycott soylent" site. I'm not going to link…

The blog was updated on 7/18 with the information that was posted on discourse. It can be found through the website soylent.me

At this point, does it matter if I ordered before, on or after 5/6? Imagine ordering something after 5/6, being told you're going to receive this item within 3 months. Then, after 3 months, they extend that time frame another 2.5 months. Oh wait, we…

Knowing this, I've accepted that when I ordered my Solyent, that I might not see it for a very long time. Seeing the updates, that might turned into a def won't and no amount of complaining, wishing, berating, questioning or whining will change this fact.…

If I may ask, which order size category do you fall into? From prior posts in this thread, I assume you are a pre-order prior to the 5/6 cutoff date.

I am curious @happieruk if we put the intake equation aside at what caloric intake of powered shake formulas of this class do you find yourself no longer feeling hunger? Also do you consider the intake proportions and timing to play a role for you personally,…

It is subjective @SolveDSMV_ARFIDBut how the forum works isn't necessarily the point of my outrage. Its the fact that only people who scour these forums on a daily basis and happen to look in the right place have these facts that should be plastered…

@JulioMiles @whimsical I am having the same issue. My order for 4 weeks was placed on 6/6/13, and I have yet to see anything, even though people from OCTOBER are getting their emails and product. It does not appear to be any order to the chaos past…

Flagged content temporarily hidden.

I would imagine that the number of orders that occurred AFTER the initial backers closed down is much, much smaller. Soylent wasn't in the news or as prevalent for a while, so I would assume that, after the official backerkit orders have been cleared,…

I assume you didn't read the link I gave you if you think canceling a backer order to get a regular order will get it to you faster...

also @rob and @juliomiles you guys are horrible at this whole business thing. There needs to be more communication than through this shitty discourse, that you guys rarely even respond to, and email that takes nearly a month to receive a damned response

This company is a complete joke. 8-10 weeks.. seriously.. I could refund this shit, reorder from here and be 'guaranteed' to receive my order within almost the same time frame. Complete and utter horse shit.

Who is this SoylentJesus person? Why is he/she allowed to insult people and act as if they own this site? I think the moderator should have a long talk with SoylentJesus about how to behave in a social situation.

It's up now twenty chars

Down from my location as well.

Dunno if it's maintenance or what, but it's down.

Ah. Did not know that. Figured since I was a backer and got it everyone did, guess my subscription is why I got it.

I haven't heard of this before so I did some reading. It sounds like you can, but only people who worry about carbohydrates seem to care to do it.

As someone pointed out to me in the "email" thread, backers and preorders did not all receive the email. Apparently the email went to those who ordered (or reordered) after May 6? 2014.

Agreed lets put this thing behind us

Np. Way more important things to get upset over.. No matter what our differences are, we do all share the common bond of being involved with Soylent in some way...Backing it, drinking it or promoting it .. Right?

If I recall, @rob went to a flavor factory recently. It may point to the possibility of Rosa Labs releasing flavor packets or flavored Soylent in the somewhat near future.

No problem I do understand the reasons behind it, and didn't mean to imply that the subject had no place on the forums. Edit: I did get a little defensive when I felt attacked

There was no guarantee, and they already sent an email explaining the delays last week. Open your spam, or promotions, or social folders and read it. If not, go to the thread that explains all this here on the forum....

Xylitol was discovered in the 19th century. It exists in nature in certain fruits and even our body makes some. In studies where they made people eat like 2 kg of it a month there was no toxicity at all, no mutagenic effects either. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov…

Technically RL will never need to really use D3. Research shows the vitamin D receptors in the body are less sensitive to D2 thus D2 has a shorter half-life in the body. To counteract that you just might need to take a little bit bigger of a dose and…

I use 1.6 Liters of water for one days worth of Soylent. If you do it that way 1ml = 1 calorie. So if you want 350 calories just pour 350ml.

I am pretty sure that a tainted batch will make a lot of people sick quickly. It is in their best interest to be on top of quality control, the bad press would be disastrous otherwise and no one would have their business after that. Just imagine the headlines:…

I am pretty sure every batch of product from china is being tested for contaminants, heavy metals, bacteria and mold before it is used as a source material in their production line.

That is far too much work. I just want to flavor soylent, not mess with DYI

2000 calorie is certainly not recommended for 98% of population. It depends on your current weight, activity level, gender, age, etc. First you need to find out your Basal metabolic rate. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basal_metabolic_rate. Than you need…

I purchased 4 weeks in May of 2013 and people who ordered 4 weeks much later than I did are getting shipments. What's going on here? @JulioMiles @rob

Any why you wanna get rid of it?

In the beta program, some customers made their Soylent as a porridge by using a little less water and heating it up on either a stove or microwave. Vitamin C and Omega-3 will certainly be eliminated by heating. But that's easily remedied with a vitamin-c…

I would recommend creating a DIY recipe that is Soylent Curry Sauce. Something I've thought about is making a Sriracha that has a complete amino acid profile, vitamins and minerals, fat and is low in carbs. The idea of putting a spice that enhances the…

If I were told that doomsday analysts and resellers would receive their REorders before I would receive my early backer order, I wouldn't have backed. It's insulting.

Thank you for being honest! I have cancelled your order. Please let me know if you'd like a t-shirt or anything.

This would be great for http://DIY.soylent.me to integrate with, clinical trials, and any experiments we or the community runs. +1 to you and we will add this to our rapidly growing pipeline of software tools.

@juliomiles Received email just now about labels printing. I've cancelled all orders so hoping I stop y'all before you ship. Know you can't take it back, don't want to slow down someone's wait I know it's awful. Thanks! Edit: for the curious order was…

I recall reading that when a meal has more than 5g of fiber, then those grams should be subtracted from carbohydrates. So since Soylent has 9g of fiber per serving, is anyone subtracting that from the 84g of carbs per serving? This would mean that a…

They should be fine up to body temps (37C or 98.6F). I don't know that I would boil the solution, just for safety sake. From a quick mental run through they should be fairly stable and non reactive, but I also don't know the chemical structures of all…

Thanks for answering quickly. Still hoping for more details or study.

I believe Soylent is stable at room temperature when mixed with water. The effects of heating are not yet known, but common wisdom suggests that the heat breaks down the vitamins to a certain extent. But at room temperature, there are no reactive issues.…

There was a conversation about their CO2 foot print here : http://discourse.soylent.me/t/carbon-footprint-of-soylent-1-0-production/14939/9Although I don't think anyone really knows at this time.

Hi, I just ordered soylent and waiting for it to ship. I have been reading all over the Web about soylent and how people use it to make food like cookies. Also, I would think using warm or hot water would decrease the time needed for soylent to dissolve…

How ecological is Soylent? What is the CO2 emission produced by the production/transport of ingredients/Soylent? What measures are taken to minimize the ecological footprint?
