well I'm not quite prepared to pay 10X the price for only geting 3000kcal. theres no fun in that @horsfield it's not really about geting a deficiency (that kan take a long time), but about witch are the most effective for the boddy, but ecpecialy if…

Love Rotary. My father-in-law was a member and one of my sons was a member of a high school sponsored club. For me missions are not necessarily associated with a faith based org. Any group looking to make the world a better place are on a mission for…

We at 100%FOOD follow FDA recommendations,while offer Double protein for bodybuilding and Low Carb for weight loss.

Swap water with whole milk, and that's ~1,000 more calories right there. A scoop or two of whey protein, and you're pretty close to the 3,300 calories goal. Is that reasonable? I'm also a 'hard-gainer' -- I eat about 2,000 calories a day and am hovering…

This company is a possibility. Just need to heat pasteurize the soylent or Soylent first and let them do the work. There is also the coffee machine type vending machines that use instant coffee and powdered non-dairy creamer. Just need to hook them up…

Lee, I am involved with Rotary. Not faith based. We do water projects and have been the force behind eliminating polio since it started.

Pick one you like and go with it. Stick with it till you notice a deficiency then either pick another one or fix the current one your using. If you never notice a deficiency then great. I personally go with the FDA recommendations.

@bts Now that your back on your DIY any chance you could try the ingredients from Soylent one at a time and see if it affects you.

Thanks @antilight for review, you can read a fresh review of Low Carb Chocolate below.Customers say that it goes more smoother: discourse.soylent.me Review: SpaceNutrientsStation 100%Food I'm going to do a quick review…

I've used products from both @Spaceman and @axcho, though with 100% Food I haven't tried any of the new varieties. I've also tried Official, which so far is my favorite, flavor wise. If you want a low-carb/ketogenic recipe, I know for a fact that axcho…

Oh yeah @asympt... It's a show time! This week we will pick up first two machines from a production, tune it and ... ready to accept invitations to colleges. Regarding @livingparadox, @Myarter concerns about storage, cleaning and smell. Powder is stored…

@kmziemba you may check for existing Low Carb 100%FOOD, based on Zone Diet with 40/30/30 Carb/Fat/Protein ratio. According to reviews from diabetics 100%FOOD does not cause insulin spikes in the blood (even chocolate version due to balance of simple,…

Simple one page http://www.100percentfood.com/ just released.Is it better than http://www.spacenutrientsstation.com/ ?!Thanks!

I just received a package with the pitcher, scooper , and no actual product. Is the Soylent coming in another shipment? My credit card was charged in 6/13 btw.

any news? It's really sad to get a tracking number and then watch my package never delivered whilst other later 1 week backers get theirs. I keep a close eye on the shipping fulfillment

Hi @Ari The package is on its way together with all orders before 12th of september. I expect the deliverytime to be under 14-days after this week!

From what I've read our brains use a fatty substance and Omega-3 is the ideal source for this fatty substance, if we don't have enough Omega-3 our bodies "scrounge" from much less ideal nutrient sources - thus explaining the overall positive effect on…

lmao. but honestly, it's not a bad idea.

Official soylent isn't working out for me as well. There is something in it (or it's lacking something) that affects me negatively and my energy SUCKS on it. There are also the farts and headaches that won't go away, makes it pretty hard to squat/run/bike…

well yes that may apply to the calories, with you can modify anyway, but the real question is with the micro nutrients.

Yeah. Soylent is sheer power. Allways be sure it works FOR you. Not AGAINST you. You will be doomed.

@spaceman is going to show up any moment to tell you about the vending machine he's working on for his brand of soylent--

Firehouse Pantry sells a number of powdered flavorings, and says they will ship (from Ohio) to Canada using UPS Standard. The Great American Spice Co. has a lot of powdered flavorings, but I can't tell if they ship to Canada--you'll have to try an order,…

and you will have hel of a lot of work removing away the smell have you ever smelled the bottle after you forgot to clean it for a day

http://diy.soylent.me/recipes/myarter-4000kcal-v10 here you have at least a start

Hi Arthur,Thanks for replying, that would be great! My contact adress ist king.jess@gmail.com. And I speak both French and English, so that shouldn't be a problem! Thanks again!Jess

Hi Chuck,Thanks for replying, that would be great! My contact adress ist king.jess@gmail.com - I can't seem to send private messages... Thanks again!Jess

I'd suggest you go to http://discourse.powderedfoods.com/, a forum for small-s soylent sellers, and post in the Ask the Dietician category. He's looked through all the DIY variants that are for sale there and could advise you which one best suits your…

It would definitely have to be stored without water. At most, you'd mix it at the time its purchased.

Al you need to do is to put mixed soylent in a tin. I wonder how this will work. Would love to be able to do that experiment at home. And fermentation is a thread here. If mixed soylent isn't kept cool, it produces explosive loads of Co2. If that happens,…

I'm looking for a source (preferably that ships to Canada for less than a million dollars) for powdered flavorings that can be added to DIY mixes. I've kept my recipe flavor neutral, and there's not much taste to it, so I'm not looking to cover anything…

Once you're pass the birth pains, if your business is alive and kicking, a bunch of us poor, starving collage kids would eat this stuff alive... if Soylent was alive. There are legions of undergrads who'd trade the ramen noodle diet and the crazy expensive,…

Rosa Labs does not currently provide this service. I believe @axcho does custom blends. He has a whole line of "Fuel" recipes, designed for different people.

I've been doing this - it works. Needs to be tapioca maltodextrin to powder the fats on their own. This stuff is very very strange. 1lb of it takes up the same volume as about 10lbs of protein powder. Also, don't open the tub of tapioca maltodextrin…

I am not sure if this is already in progress, but is it perhaps feasible to create customized Soylent for customers based upon their profiles? The profiles are beautiful. Figuring out how to DIY is a pain the rear end. I'd pay for someone to create a…

I've noticed my mental faculties are greatly improved with supplementary omega 3, as well. I have ADHD, for the record. Interesting that it helps with other things as well.

Check my post above about psyllium husk. There are two types of fiber, soluble and insoluble. Soluble generally slows things down, while insoluble speeds things up. If you are getting burning, the Soylent is moving through your system quicker than…

I finally got around to trying the classic vanilla today. It smelt a bit strange - has a much stronger smell than official Soylent. I mixed it up as per the directions and tried a bit - I didn't like the flavour - was very strong. I can't really explain…

I wish I knew. There are always so many variables in my life I am unable to determine what works and what doesn't. I'm waiting for some new quantified self toys to come out that will let me keep better track of various factors which may help detangle…

IIRC Rob is a runner. The extra exercise requires a higher caloric intake.

I probably should give this a try but isn't there already quite a bit of fiber in Soylent? How would adding more fiber help?

Hey, I'm asking someone to do something I have no skills for. I'll wait as long as it takes. With gratitude.

hmm, you learn something new every day , But could you please provide a source as i would love to read into that.But then it's basically only the most negativ part being the got dame high iron content(especially for DIY USERS) so is there actually…

Actually quiet recently a lot of information has come to pass on that. There was a really good study that basically said it was bumpkis and when people looked closer at the one study that was so often cited as confirmation of this it was shown to be…

Shortly after posting I received a shipping confirmation

and perhaps also the controversy with the suspected hindrance of testosteron effect it may have(more research needed)otherwise it's a good protean. and now as whey gets more expensive people will look fore other alternatives

For anyone else I am using http://www.shipito.com/ for a monthly subscription. They charge $11 handling + shipping fee ($168.67 to Australia via DHL for 2 day shipping).I don't know about other countries - but Australia I have not had a problem with customs…

Just one more reason why people should really give Soy protein more love. It's complete, it's cheap, and it's got great bio-availability. The only thing I don't like about it is in my experience, 90% isolate Soy Protein tends to aerosol much more then…

Update:I have received WAY more response than i could have imagined. I was initially thinking of doing a handful of these a month, but i got over 45 people wanting to have their product re-shipped, many of which wanted a monthly subscription. So, sadly,…

So i have been wondering ever sens i started on the diy track; what kind of nutrition profile should we actually use? We could use our own countries recommendations. or chose one of the standards. But then i wonderd what the hell recommended of the…

Yep, you're right, something went wacky with FedEx. They are working on correcting it and we will update you in the next couple of days regarding the status! Thanks for your patience and sorry about this!

Ana, FedEx may have lost my order. Tracking number set last Friday Sept 19th and was set to deliver to my place in Los Angeles on Saturday 20th... Never came. I'm a one week Backer

This is awesome news, thanks a lot for responding! I wasn't a first day customer so I'm just in my 18th week now, but hopefully that means I'm a month or less out.

Praise the Sun! Oh, wait, wrong forum...

That's fair; "normal" is the wrong term to use and definitely implies something much more sinister than the reality. That said, the liver is a sort of catch-all and, even though it does a very good job at metabolizing things that the body cannot use…

I wouldn't recommend it... on the two restricted days, you should try to make most of your calories come from protein, to avoid muscle wasting. You want to minimize muscle and organ loss, so that the majority of your weight loss is in the form of fat.…

nwoll27 said: Fructose is a problem because the body has no normal mechanism to metabolize it or use it directly, and so it is left to the liver to metabolize and then stored, primarily, as liver fat, and which can lead to a whole other host of health…

Yeah, it's always a case of choosing the "least bad." Saccharin seems to be the worst, on many counts, of the artifical sweeteners, but you also have to remember that sugar comes with its own baggage full of bad. Sadly, some people prefer to think taking…

A DIY based on whole wheat flour and maltodextrin (instead of oat flour) will be a good base. Most DIY avoid wheat because many people cite gluten sensitivity, but it's otherwise perfectly usable. You'd need to use ground flax or flax oil instead of…

I seriously think you should try using regular Soylent and augmenting with your oil of choice. Fats are very good long-term hiking fuel, it's why oily nuts are excellent trail food. Each liquid ounce of oil adds 248 calories of slow-burning fuel to your…

Yes, it may be your stomach emptying prematurely and its acidic contents burning on the way out. http://www.wisegeekhealth.com/what-are-the-most-common-causes-of-burning-diarrhea.htm You might try a soluble fiber supplement such as Metamucil.

elimford said: Are you planning on eating Indian food as well or just Soylent? it would be trajic to travel to the land of masala dosa, samosa and naan bread, only to ignore the delicacies. so no, I will not be existing only on Soylent. I expect I…

you can replace selection with Xanthan gum, or other(is usually not allergenic as it's driven byproduct from bacteria eating sugers) to make the liquid thicker and have cholinebiterate (2g=400mg choline). my two cents, hope it helps

I believe the problem was that the unsweetened version wasn't bland. They would have shipped that. But that it had a really off-putting bitterness. Eve

Good point, thanks. Yeah, I usually spend my 500 calories on a lot of veggies held together by some scrambled eggs and hot sauce, so it could be hard to switch.

I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about the increased risk for cancer with artificial sweeteners (such as Splenda). However, after some research, it seems this is actually somewhat of a myth -- the cancer risk is tied only to saccharin, not other…

yea it seams so, thats why it would be nice to know other lurking micro nutrients that can be hiding.

I've noticed that plant based proteins tend to have a hefty dose of iron. Just something to be aware of.

Personally I think I'd have to do the opposite of your proposal to make that diet work, since Soylent is sort of my go-to to replace the junk in my normal diet and without it I'd end up going overboard during the week, but that's neither here nor there.…

So, is anyone trying the 5:2 diet while on Soylent? 5:2 is the diet where you eat whatever you want (within reason) five days a week, then calorie-restrict the other two days. For women, fast days are 500 calories; for men, 600. I've been on 5:2 since…

Another reason, beside water treatment, to consume warm Soylent is to keep it from freezing. I've been on winter trips where the time from boiling to freezing is short. I think I'm going to go with the official version of Soylent at work and try a DIY…

I think we're 20 weeks out for non-backer orders now, which puts us right in the middle of the 18-22 week range (original 10-12 plus additional 8-10) that we're all sitting in. Any chance we can get an update at this point if that range still looks possible?

Apparently, Soylent without sugar is too bitter. I wonder. I don't like sweet things so I might prefer it without sugar at all. No honey. No healthy sugars. No artificial sweeteners. This may be the best way to go?

Hi ! I live in Baden and I have been consuming my DIY for 3 months now (breakfast and lunch, 5 days a week). But I only speak french and english... I would be happy to answer your questions.

Hi Nino. I replied to your mail (from nino [at] joylent [dot] eu) on September 18th 18:48 (GMT+1). I have not recieved any reply. Anyway, thanks for resending, and make sure it goes to the correct country this time.

Hi Ari, We allways try to answer within 48-hours, if this hasnt been the case with you i apologize. i asked my collegue about your order and he is currently handling it. I will send you a new package and i will include a few days for the inconvenience.

We are not selling Soylent?

Don't forget, you can also add flavors! There's a topic around here somewhere with lots of suggestions.
