I lived on Joylent and water for 6 days (18 meals). In this time, even well after my last proper food meal, I had more problems with flatulence than before. I'm very lactose intolerant, but even though I used 15.000 unit pills of lactase with each meal…

I'm wondering if it's okay to eat 'normal' foods while drinking soylent. Or will this mess up my digestive system? I'm new to soylent, and even while drinking soylent I feel the need to munch on some chips or something, mostly out of boredom while I watch…

Trying to figure out if this is just me. As of the writing of this post, I can't get it to load, can anyone else?: [diy.soylent.me/](http://diy.soylent.me/)

I was an early backer at the t-shirt level. I'm also an international backer. I received an email stating that international orders are being refunded. Does that included t-shirt level or just people that ordered the actual soylent?

Anyone have any information on the satiety? I seem to have some issues finding I do on this. For what weight and height was this generally designed for?

I'm new to soylent and I've been glancing around the diysoylent forums but I've been having difficulty finding a (almost)completely flavorless recipe. I want something I can customize completely with minimal corn flavor and no vanilla flavored stuff.…

I just got my 1 week 1.0. I don't plan on eating more than one meal a day of soylent initially, but how long will it last in the fridge? can i make a whole day's pack tonight and then have it each of the next 3 days?

I got a green one.

I just got my week of Soylent, and started it on Monday. I have been preparing it as directed, and taking it to work with me. The taste is fine (I'll be looking into flavoring it though), the issue I am running into is that I seem to always feel full.…

I just recently received my backing order, and I plan on supplementing my soylent with whey protein (I use the ON brand). Does anyone have experience with which flavors mix best with soylent? I'm using Double Rich Chocolate right now, which isn't bad,…

Well first of all, I ordered back in late May and noticed shipments went out all the way up to early May as of Monday. Are they stopping after the backers or is it likely I get it soon? I got that "confirm your address" email last week, but it doesn't…

I know little about the microbiome of gut flora that resides in our stomach, other than apparently it's very important for digestive ability and health, and what mix you have can strongly influence what foods you can happily (or very unhappily) consume.…

I ordered Gillian fuel from custombodyfuel and I'm loving it. On the website they link to the recipe and a button to buy from Amazon. I see the total comes out to be a little over $200. I'm trying to figure out how much will this make me as it doesn't…

Has anyone came up with a reliable way to ~~measure~~ approximate DIYs? I have been looking at the dry food dispensers and most are not suitable for protein powder/masa. I did discover one brand (Server Products) that has a 1L and 2L dry food dispensers…

Hi! So I've always been extreemely skinny. I'm currently working out and trying to eat more. I've been fascinated by Soylent for a while and want to try it, which would greatly help with knowing if I'm consuming the right amount of food. Real Soylent…

I got my 1 week supply on Monday after over a year waiting, and it's about what I was expecting it to taste like. Sort of gritty, sort of protein shake vanilla flavored. It's not bad at all, and it's not great. Immediately I find myself getting tired…

Finally got my week's worth. This box and packaging is like 10x more than what I was expecting. DAE think they can improve their packaging design/packaging by a lot? Kind of makes me not even wanna bother reordering (I haven't even tasted it tho anyway…

The general wisdom on this subreddit, from what I've seen, is to only scale up the macronutrients (carbs/protein/fat) and not the micros, when modifying a DIY recipe for higher caloric content. For example, if a recipe is designed to be 100% nutritionally…

The diet is based off of the original Tortilla perfection. I am 21M 5'6" 125lbs. I work out vigorously 3-4 times a week. My goal is to GAIN weight from this diet while still keeping it somewhat tasty. http://diy.soylent.me/recipes/tyler-ns-people-chow-301-tortilla-perfection…

EDIT: Amended Title: "Why you should follow the instructions and ease into your Soylent diet." Ladies and gentleman, I started my experiment yesterday. I understand they recommend we ease ourselves into 100% consumption, but I figured, in for a penny,…

Hi everyone, I wanted to share my experience with Joylent so far. As I live in Canada, Joylent was my only choice to try this new powdered all-you-need food. This was my first order and I can already say that I will re-order for sure when I run out…

Hello everyone! By now I guess most of you have heard about Joylent, which supposedly should be more or less an exact replica of Soylent? I was comparing prices and noticed that Soylent cost considerably more than Joylent Soylent for 28 days - 255$…

Are these good options for Sodium, Potassium and Chloride? Some people i know have voiced their opinions against Sodium Bicarbonate (Natron/Baking Soda) for Sodium, saying it's too alkaline and longtime consumption would be dangerous, is that right?…

I've been thinking about ways the [Nutrient Profiles](http://diy.soylent.me/nutrient-profiles) section of the DIY Soylent site can be improved. Right now there are lots of custom profiles, but I think a complete database of 'official' (government) recommendations…

Just got through my first week of Soylent and LOVED it. The one thing I was thinking about a lot though was how you could really tweak the formula for individual body makeups. The Indian science of Ayurveda treats people as individually diverse from…

Now, when we know how to integrate foods according to the FDA 2000 Calorie standard, why not take it further? What about meeting specific needs for individuals? We can cure we can prevent... What should be first?

Yessir, I got my Official Soylent 1.0 a few days ago and have been attempting to integrate it into my diet ever since. The attempts have had some mixed results with some definite positive changes found at a 33% Soylent diet. But of course, as with 1.0-anything,…

I have seriously craved flavors since the first time I had my DIY. I've made it taste like chocolate, cinnamon, vanilla, and caramel but I can't stop myself from wanting FLAVOR. I ate a bowl of cherry tomatoes, an entire can of almonds, and a large pack…

Hey guys, I'm pretty new to this. I love the concept and want to find something that works for me so I ordered a day's worth of 100% food. When it got here, I found it pretty vile. Couldn't finish more than a few gulps of either flavor. Is most soylent…

I was wondering if anyone has tried freezing Soylent. I install home security systems for a living and was wanting to freeze a days worth and letting it melt throughout the day as I drink it. I know I can just bring a cooler but if it freezes good, I'd…

(echoing what I posted on FB, wanted to share and get feedback) Tomorrow morning I’m going to replace all my meals with Soylent for a week. Whenever the topic comes up people always ask the same questions so I wanted to do a FAQ sorta thing. -What…

Hello! I'm relatively new to Soylent, and this is my first time on this subreddit, sorry if I'm breaking rules with this post. I'd like to know what DIY variant/offbrand you'd recommend for weight loss- that'd be suitable to be the only thing I eat. Thank…

Phew! Finally got my first shipment of a week's worth of Soylent. For the first pitcher, my Soylent kind of made me gag. I ran it over ice, but I think I used too much water as it didn't have much flavor to it. Is that the case? Could I change anything…

This always annoyed me, but I found the solution. Edit: in the title I obviously meant the unmixed powder sticking to the bottom.

I'm not a big fan of the tortilla flavor so I've been trying to experiment with some of the suggestions I've read here. I started with Cacao, but I think I got the wrong kind. I got the Hershey stuff that is 100% cacao, but it it's pretty bitter, and…

I follow 23/1 intermittent fasting, because I generally have better energy if I spend most of the day in the fasted state. I want to try a ketogenic version of DIY Soylent while maintaining my same IF schedule, but I'm uncertain if this is a bad idea.…

I'm a new soylent user here and I'm wondering if most people blend a day's worth of soylent the night before and refrigerate it all or if they mostly mix enough for a couple hour's worth at a time? I'm wondering because I found that a day's worth is usually…

I like the idea to use something like that for storage of either individual meals or a whole day's worth. I've seen someone else mix up an entire week's worth at a time in a big plastic tub, but I don't like that. I don't care much for using plastic…

Just started taking Soylent about two days ago and my ass is on fire. I remember reading about gas problems associated with Soylent but I haven't seen too much posted here about it.

Hello everyone! I received my 1 week order today. I ordered nearly a year ago, and paid for it in Bitcoin. I mixed up my first batch, and the taste isn't so bad. Its almost like your typical protein mix , but a little more gritty. Not bad at all.…

I had fully intended to buy Soylent however from what I am reading that isn't possible (well I can't wait over a year for a meal replacement, sorry). Some people are talking about some DIY meal replacements and People Chow seems to come up. Could someone…

Making my first virgin batch tonight and wondering what I should trywhen I make my next batch tomorrow

Hello all! I've been having Schmoylent for a large majority of my meals (between 2-3 most days, some days not at all) for about a month now and for the last few weeks I've found I'm pretty lethargic during the day. I've read that the official Soylent…

[This](http://diy.soylent.me/recipes/totally-not-people-chow) is the version of people chow i made that includes some oat flour to make it less gritty, and I just wanted to check if it seems alright. I heard that oat flour can be high in certain minerals…

I've just started making my DIY soylent and the masa seems to make it really gritty. What options do I have? Adding more oil seems to help buy I probably dont want to add to much. What else besides masa do you recommend?

So I have been on People Chow for a few weeks now. I am making a modified version of the People Chow, which is essentially just more flour, as I am trying to gain weight not lose it. http://diy.soylent.me/recipes/tyler-ns-people-chow-301-tortilla-perfection…

I just recieved my first batch of Joylent yesterday, vanilla flavoured, and I was kind of put off by the taste. I kind of liked the taste in the beginning, but the taste was just way too overwhelming after finishing about half of my first bottle. I was…

I couldn't find anything on the website but is there a way you can place a smaller order? I just can't justify $80 for something that I might not be able to stomach...

Okay, so I was very eager to try the Melbourne based creation branded as Aussie soylent. The tester bag I got came in two bags, one of the premium mix and one of the regular, I haven't tried the regular one yet so my only point of comparison would be…

I've been on PC for over 6 months now have always been trying to make it more calorie dense. I've been adding extra masa, protein powder, and oil but recently I've made a few discoveries. * The oil mixed in makes it taste gross and makes the bottles…

I'm trying to decide whether to just try a DIY recipe or wait until my order gets shipped. I ordered mine June 18th, worried that some shipments were taking more than a year?!

Variety is important to me when it comes to food, and I doubt that I'm the type of person that would want to replace every meal with Soylent unless I had no other option. Even with "normal" food, it's rare that I would eat even my favorite things two…

I'm working on a recipe that gets sodium from sources such as sodium bicarbonate, and as such registers lower on the chloride DV. Does anyone have any knowledge regarding chloride deficiencies, and if some other chloride supplement should be worked out?

http://www.bulknutrients.com.au/buy/vital-pre-mix-vitamin-mineral-mix/VITALPREMIX This Australian product claims to have the mineral/vitamins needed for DIY soylent, what's the best way to make up the macronutrient profile in terms of taste? I have…

Are there any alternatives to oil and protein powder for fat and protein macros? (carbless preferred) I've tried mixing in a 500g tub of Quark (paste, like cottage cheese), that replaced a good chunk of the protein powder. (60g protein per 500g of Quark)…

After nearly a year and a half of waiting, I finally got my Soylent order today! I just mixed my first batch a few minutes ago and felt like mentioning to all you information-hungry duders out there that the pitcher... kinda leaks. At least mine did.…

I've been a lurker here for a little while now and I love the concept of soylent. Being able to quickly make meals and easily keep track of how much you eat is great. That's where I get just a bit confused. The soylent daily serving is just over 2000…

Hi, all, I make a DIY blend at home to the tune of [Spencer Fuel](http://diy.soylent.me/recipes/spencer-fuel). I scoop from a big jar that I combine everything in, and then I shake with water in a blending bottle. Then I add the oil. However, between…

Although I have been consuming soy daily for years, I just recently became allergic. (I feel like my life is over at this point haha) Anyway, I noticed that when I can find ingredient labels for these companies they happen to all have Soy lecithin. Anyone…

I mixed the oats with hot water this morning, let it sit, and then added everything else. It changes the flavor a lot and gives it a much nicer texture, much more like a milkshake then a slightly grainy liquid. Woth investigating if you are having…

I've searched for any word on this and haven't come up with anything. Has there been any official word from the company that they may offer a low-calorie version one day? I bought Soylent primarily to lose weight and have been slowly gaining weight,…

Hi /r/Soylent! I have been in [a discussion](http://www.reddit.com/r/preppers/comments/2h6793/is_soylent_the_ultimate_prepper_solution/) over at /r/preppers about the use of Soylent as a long-term prep for food during disaster situations. I think Soylent…

It's almost a little fishy smell. Just a little bitter and sour. I haven't made any soylent in that pitcher in a few days because of it. I'm having trouble getting the oily film off of the inside, so I'm thinking it might actually be the fish oil starting…

Of the two Nalgene bottles that I use to carry around my People Chow, I didn't drink one of them yesterday. Is it still good to drink today?

Quantitative differences please?

Been casually reading up on this, and I think I may try it soon (I'll start with one of the small places that is actually shipping, then maybe work my way to DIY if I like it. I think I'd try to replace most of my meals with it, maybe as 100% of my food…

How do you divide up a days worth? I got my grams all figured out. Do I just mix it all up together and guess to get thirds? True if I drink it all in a day I get all my nutrients, but there seems like there should be a better way. What do you say reddit?

2 people want to use it, one payment source. How do I do this? 2 accounts and just pay with the same card?

I decided to try Schmoylent for the nutritional convenience. I love cooking and I want to expand my palate, but I prefer to not take time out while I'm working, so I'm still eating at least one "traditional" meal a day. Anyway, I've loved it but I wanted…

Supposedly in the next couple weeks they will have 100% of all backer order shipments sent. With that said, i have a Month's backer order that i have not heard anything on. Furthermore, i emailed them recently and they, of course, told me that they cannot…

I'm trying the People Chow recipe...almost. I found an amazing deal on bulk 100% Whey Protein, so I'm using that instead of whey isolate. I compensated the amount to add based on the difference in grams of protein per scoop; are there any other differences…

I've been drinking Soylent 1.0 for about a month now, and I have successfully replaced about 90% of my meals, but sometimes its hard to get another cup. So last night I was sipping my dinner when it hit. I was bored hungry. The kind of hungry that led…

I haven't received my first shipment of official Soylent yet (but I have received an address confirmation -- so should receive it soon!), but I was wondering if anyone knew their policy on upping the quantity for a re-order. I ordered 1 week initially,…

Tried People Chow from thebairs for the first time. It was, without a doubt, the most vile thing I have ever tasted. I like the idea of soylent, but this stuff is inedible. No way it will replace food if it tastes so bad.

Hey there, As the title state, I want to make my own Soylent, and I think I found a recipe that suits me on the DIY wiki. With that said, I had some worries about it. [Here's my version's nutrient content.](http://i.imgur.com/oOJRGq8.png) It includes…

I ordered back in June, and am just now getting an order confirmation email from Soylent because it's finally shipping soon (yay!) However, it's from an email address I've never seen from Soylent before, and has a link to a qualtrics "survey" to change…

Has anyone tried to make Soylent or Joylent with milk instead of water? Was it a success?

I could break up the pack or ship the whole thing out, or should I just try ebay? Thanks!

[Main Soylent page](http://www.soylent.me/) Do I need to go back to Kickstarter to re-order, or will they recognize my payment info/address when I fill it out again? I don't want to get caught in the "2-3 month" queue for new orders. Thanks!
