I'm trying the [People Chow](http://diy.soylent.me/recipes/people-chow-301-tortilla-perfection) recipe on a 2500 calorie diet. Should I just scale up each ingredient by the same percentage to maintain all nutrient ratios? Edit: Thanks for the answers…

Just got my Soylent today. I ripped open the package ... and ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tkM6Zfr47o I don't know that it's necessarily bad - it's just utterly overwhelming me. Any tips on neutralizing or changing the aroma?

This is the longest I've ever waited for anything. I don't think I'll be getting my shipment until December... This is so depressing. Is there any alternative that I could in the states that isn't DIY?

So like probable a lot of people I first heard of soylent on arstechnica.com but have been put off by the many months of backlog for the official Soylent product (seriously backers still haven't gotten their product? ). This has lead me to decide to…

Does your DIY taste better **hot** or **cold**, or is it even better at **room temperature**? If you always drink it cold, have you ever tried it warm/hot? (or vice versa) Mine tastes like thick chocolate milk, and somehow it doesn't taste too good…

This is going to get a tad graphic. Fair warning. I'll skip the initial reaction stuff that anyone following r/soylent already knows, except to say that it does not take even a single meal to get sick of Joylent's artificial flavouring. There should…

[I took a shot at modifying People Chow 3.0.1 to be closer to a 50/20/30 ratio.](http://diy.soylent.me/recipes/protein-chow) However, I had to sacrifice a gram of fiber, so it's down to 95%. Is there a way to get that gram of fiber back without going…

I need the information to estimate how much it would cost to have it shipped to me by a reshipping service. Please also tell me the exact unit of your measurements (preferably cm and kg). Your help is very much appreciated : )

(Deleted old thread about safety of consuming raw flour, this is a revision) I'm reading a number of varying reports online. My [recipe](http://diy.soylent.me/recipes/super-soldier-serum-v33)'s main ingredient is raw rice flour. There are some sources…

**Update** 100%Food is replacing the package completely. This has nothing to do with 100%Food as a company but I got my sample pack in today, well 3 out of the 8 samples I ordered. The [bag they shipped it in](http://imgur.com/5D9L7IA) looked like harness…

I'm considering jumping into DIY soylent, buy I want to know more about nutrition before I jump in. Not scared, just want to learn more. Do you have any resources? Articles, books, videos, etc?

Hey all. So yeah, this might possibly be a dumb question, but I realized I've never done either before, especially consistently, so wanted some opinions. Is it safe to consume raw rice flour (and/or baking soda)? Today I've finally received the last…

I've been doing DIY Soylent for several months now, using QuidNYC's recipe. It has been terrific for me, saving time and allowing me to drop about 10 pounds. One of my concerns with Soylent and the various DIY recipes has been the incorporation of…

I am looking to replace one meal per day with something like soylent. I work over supper time, but I am working with people the whole time, so eating is difficult. I looked into soylent, but there are backorders. DIY requires ingredients I would have…

I've been on DIY soylent for the past 3 months, using [this recipe](http://diy.soylent.me/recipes/the-basics-2). Overall it's been a good run, but I want to switch to a raw vegan diet - basically one extreme diet to the other. Here are the things I…

Is this different than Masa Harina? Can you link me?

I want to know everything there is to know.

I just ordered the 100% FOOD Double Protein Organic. It arrived yesterday, so I'm trying it for the first time in my breakfast this morning. (Note: I'm not exactly using it in the intended way. My plan is to split one bottle into breakfast and lunch every…

Which would you rather use?

I've had a few friends interested in Soylent, but are scared off by 4-6 month backlog. Is it considered an "abuse" of privilege for me to order my friends some Soylent via my account? Would one-time be fine, vs them continually reordering through me?

What do you call the bowl and mallet thing you use to grind up pills? I need to order one to smash up my multi vitamin.

Been using people chow 3.0.1 to replace a single meal for a few days now. Problem is whenever I drink it I get a bloated stomach feeling/have to burp but not really feeling. This happens almost immediately after drinking even if I sip slowly. Did this…

This wasn't in the faq, but I was wondering anyway. When eating normal food, I always eat quite a lot compared to other people. I am quite skinny though. But now with soylent, I notice that at I am still quite hungry at the end of the day. I already…

For those of you who have ordered large bags of stuff (such as the 50 lb bags of maltodextrin or oat flour from HoneyVille), how do you store it once you've opened it? The bags are not resealable, and I'm a little concerned about bugs getting in. Right…

so I have been drinking people chow for a little over a month now. just using it for 1 meal a day. my goal was to save money on lunches and have a controlled portion of calories for one meal. that's it. overall my experience is good with it but i'm getting…

I am exiting the DIY scene and would like to part with my ingredients rather than they go to waste. I would be happy to sell what i can for (at most) 50% of online/retail cost, possibly lower if there isn't much interest or you're in a tough spot financially;…

We received a [report from customer](http://discourse.powderedfoods.com/t/100-food-as-a-weight-loss-option/262) that she lost 9.4lb last month on Low Carb diet (40/30/30 Carb/Fat/Protein). My personal result - 10 lb/month on regular 2000 cal ratio (60/30/10).…

Take this whey protein supplement for example: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000QSNYGI?tag=19-82341-20 It lists: Calcium - 8% Iron - 2% The DIY ingredient editor only accepts g/mg/iu so I'm not sure how I would convert that from a given percent daily value.…

Many of the of DIY mixes, including people chow use this as a main ingredient: http://www.amazon.com/Instant-Corn-Masa-Mix-4-84/dp/B0000IJYK4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1410761995&sr=8-1&keywords=Maseca There doesn't seem to be a great abundance…

It's been a month and four days since I ordered Joylent, and I still haven't received it. Does anyone know how long it takes to ship internationally?

I'm going off to college again in the next couple weeks and would like to experiment with Soylent and see how much time it would save me. I know you need some kind of weighing apparatus, but what kind do you suggest? Also, do I need a blender and if so…

I live in Germany and I am dying to order lots of soylent. How big are their production capacities at the moment? Are they struggling to just keep up or are they managing the demand on the american market? That would help me estimate how long it will…

Though the taste of joylent is not bad it can be a bit meh at times, so I found that adding a bit of cinnamon to the mix made is A LOT better. So if you wanna add taste to your drink without adding calories or sweetners just add a bit of cinnamon and…

Sorry for the specific question, but how many tsp of olive oil are you supposed to use per serving of People Chow? I'm using 3 1/2 tsp per 8oz of powder (per one of Chris's videos), but I'm not sure if that's right since I don't know how to measure "50…

If so, can I pay someone who already has soylent to re-order and ship it to me? But this seems like a very silly limitation to have, requiring people to wait half a year to just try your product

Hello r/soylent I'm a prospective soylent user. I ordered my subscription back in May, but, due to reasons you all are familiar with, I haven't received it yet. As a result, I am now considering making my own formula. However, before I begin developing…

While I was waiting on my Soylent to arrive I bought a week of 100% food chocolate, but couldn't deal with its texture. I was hoping someone could take it off my hands.

Is this a viable option? The amount of food I have to eat, as well as protein shakes, is insane. Input vs output etc. What happens if you start adding Soylent to a normal diet? You're eating way too much? You start getting fat? The input becomes way…

I'm 2 weeks in on People Chow, very happy with it, but choline bitartate took longer to get her than my other ingredients so I haven't had any in the batches I made. Finally had to make new ones today and it's tasted very salty while my first set didn't…

This is something I get a LOT! What do you tell people when they ask you what you're doing/ why you're doing it? What's you're 30 second explanation that you can tell people?

This question is more to satisfy my curiosity. Whenever I tell people about my soylent diet and my desire for efficiency, they think I am absolutely crazy. Even though most people I know eat garbage. What do you guys do for a living? Why did you guys…

So I have just started my new diet on this (http://diy.soylent.me/recipes/modifiedpeople-chow-301-3000-calories-weight-gain). I am eating this 3 times a day with nothing else. I am currently on day 2. I have noticed that since I started drinking it,…

I made a [post on r/Frugal](http://www.reddit.com/r/Frugal/comments/2g5ewa/what_does_rfrugal_think_of_soylent/), and one person commented "From what I've heard, they have issues with contamination of the product with mold spores." Can anyone on this subreddit…

I've just completed a round of People Chow 3, and while it was okay (better than expected), I realized that my goal was really just cost-effectiveness, convenience and health. With that in mind, the non-perishable aspect of DIY recipes (and Soylent itself)…

Hey everyone, I know some various flavor threads have been posted, but I'd like to see if any of you have some suggestions for this particular batch (Low carb to be more particular). I recently got a sample and tried organic and chocolate. I couldn't…

Hey guys, I've been on People Chow for the last two-ish months and have really enjoyed the practical benefits of soylent. That being said, I'm getting tired of People Chow and looking to try other recipes. I have a full order of most of the PC ingredients…

Hello I just recently began taking a new diet consisting of only this recipe. Can I ask why the People Chow uses this corn flour as opposed to just a regular type of flour? Here is my recipe: http://diy.soylent.me/recipes/modifiedpeople-chow-301-3000-calories-weight-gain…

The subscription process is disappointing so far. Month 1 it took Soylent 10 days from taking my money to shipping. I figured the delay was because it was my first subscription order - they had to sort out that I was indeed a backer who was returning.…

So, as the title suggests I'm looking to put together my own DIY recipe and was hoping to get some help to go from 70% to 100%. The hardest areas I'm hoping to reach is: > Chloride (0%) > Iodine (41%) > Magnesium (73%) > Molybdenum (79%)…

I read the FAQ and was directed to [the official Soylent shipping thread on their website](http://discourse.soylent.me/t/official-soylent-shipping-fulfillment-thread/13219). On a post dated June 23, it states that shipping takes about 10-12 weeks. However…

So I got everything in last Friday, but opted to wait until Monday of this week to sample the product. I had weekend plans and if the gas of death was going to hit, I'd rather not have it happen then. I've been using it for 2 meals a day, with solid food…

So I've been ordering Soylent off of eBay because my order isn't going to ship for a few months. However, the bags that I have been opening recently seem to have a fishy/metallic smell to them, as does the Soylent after I mix it. There is also a layer…

UK - [Liquid cake V3](http://diy.soylent.me/recipes/liquid-cake-v13-2) Turns out soylent isnt for me and I ordered a whole months worth of stuff and I really need to get rid of it. Would prefer pickup(sheffield) but I will post it if your willing to…

We're about to release a completely renovated [Powdered Foods Marketplace](http://demo.powderedfoods.com/) this week. While producers make their last adjustments - you may join to them. You have [$100K reasons](http://demo.powderedfoods.com/blog/PFMTeam/)…

I'm based in Ireland and I'm making Liquid Cake 1.3 regularly. I'm happy to sell it on for cost if anyone's interested, in case you wanted to test a day or a week's worth and not go all in. €7 for a day €45 for a week €85 for two weeks I have over…

I really wanted to get started on a soylent-like meal. Since the official soylent is so inaccessible right now, I turned to the DIYs. While going through "People Chow 3.0.1 - Tortilla Perfection!" nutrients list, I found that quite a few of them were…

This is stopping me from ordering, when I would have otherwise. Surely if there are enough orders that it takes 4-5 MONTHS to ship to new customers then there is enough money to increase production speed. I understand that it takes time for a business…

Getting any of the ingredients in the most popular diy recipes is next to impossible in new zealand so I've created my own by stealing from a few other recipes. Shipping costs for a few of the ingredients are a bit high but i don't want to stockpile huge…

I started using People Chow 3 days ago, and I decided to go all in for it, replacing all meals with it. First day, I felt great, no complaints, and about an hour after finishing my first bottle, I had a significant boost in energy. That hasn't left since…

This came up in the past with someone's roommate making the 'allegation' (as it were), but as I've looked into more DIY recipes, I see many that do indeed include taking a multivitamin. Not all, but a significant number. That's made me wonder whether…

is it possible to bypass the need to drink a mix that may not be super tasty by putting one of the soylent recipes in capsules or some other tasteless form? for those of you that just can't handle the taste, how do you manage to continue using soylent?

Hello! I'm on day 4 of drink Soylent and eating minimal food so as to slowy incorporate Soylent into my diet, and I kind of feel...crappy. I'm lethargic, bloated, and having nasty heartburn. I did eat a piece of pizza yesterday, so the grease might have…

So I happened to get my Soylent in the mail following some minor sinus surgery... Travelling to the supermarket is a little out of the question as my mind is rolling from all the medication I am on... Figuring that Soylent is nutritionally complete, I…

TL;DR: I've been living off a DIY Soylent solution called Crohylent for about a month, and it's made my life much better. [The Recipe](http://diy.soylent.me/recipes/crohylent) [Pictures of the process](imgur.com/a/SXNGM) I was diagnosed in December,…

i'm basically living on a diy-soylent-"diet" since august 2013, using psyllium husks as one (and only) fiber source - but i came across inulin now, which seems to have the same purpose but doesn't make the drink as "thick" as the psyllium husks do. (http://www.nowfoods.com/Inulin-Certified-Organic-8oz.htm…

Title says it all.

Like most people reading this subreddit, I have been waiting for a product like Soylent for years and was very excited when my package finally arrived. I immediately dug in and made a batch of Soylent and was surprised by just how neutral the taste was.…

I ordered over a week ago and just finally got my order. The couriers really screwed up, they kept the soylent in their warehouse for 3 days before processing it and then they decided to deliver it to my local post office rather than to me! The guys at…

I just started to explore the http://diy.soylent.me/ page and i have run into something weird: i am pretty tall 1.96 m (or 6´5´´) and i weigh 90 kg. But somehow the only things that changes with the nutrition calculator are calories and with that protein,…

Currently people (such as myself) have to spend hundreds of dollars to make a batch of a DIY recipe. Often, this means discovering you don't like it, but not knowing if that means you prepared it wrong, messed up some part of the mix, or you just actually…

I gave up waiting for my Soylent to arrive and tried to make my own. As I said, i made [People Chow](http://diy.soylent.me/recipes/people-chow-301-tortilla-perfection), but the grittiness of the masa is a bit too much. I was wondering if oat or rice flour…

Hi. I bought Joylent for myself. It came and I started eating it. I have been mixing it with water for 3 days now. It has been around 180 grams in the morning, 180 grams in the afternoon and the rest in the evening. I simply dump the oil cup in the first…

That being said, it's been quite a while, and I had completely forgotten about my Soylent order because 1 week orders were at the back of the line. Here's to all of you 1 weekers out there. Brace yourselves... Soylent is coming.

Hi I am looking at some recipes on the soylent site and was wondering if anyone had an recommendations or considerations. Is there anything that I should be aware of before I make my own? Any recommended recipes for a skinny guy trying to lift weights?…

Like, have you had farting problems? cramps? other troubles with your body? or have things been better for you? how is your life different?

I'm watching a show about settling Mars and it just dawned on me how useful something like Soylent could be in space travel or any other isolated living situation. Even with a fully matured Soylent recipe though there is still the problem of the volume…

I need stuff to measure and store ingredients. preferably stuff I can get for cheap on amazon.

How has consuming soylent impacted that?
