A new cory is here called joylent, it's the same thing and it's cheap http://www.joylent.eu/

I'd like to buy DIY soylent already made. I'm looking for a low calorie option. I found this: http://powderchow.com/?product=chocolate-chow-1600-calories Anyone have an opinion regarding it? Is there a better one I should buy?

I'm going to make some Liquid Cake, but as I live in Australia I needed different things. I got different multi-vitamins (still Kirkland brand, but different amounts of vitamins), and different brands for the other things. The main thing I'm looking to…

i'm soon on the 4th week following my order. anyone experiencing the same thing ? is it a scam ? they didn't answer to any of my messages.. Edit: thx to all for helping out + feedback ; I'll keep you posted on the outcome Edit 2 : i have received…

Hello, I'm new to soylent and I want to try it. I'm a bit confused on what the shipping times should be. The official website says 4-5 months but other sources say that it's 10-12 weeks. That's a big difference. I haven't seen any blog updates or anything…

I have found the included 1/2 meal scoop to be terribly inaccurate: 2 level scoops have yielded anywhere from 125 grams to 168 grams of powdered soylent for me...rarely if ever the 148 grams in a single serving. It's also too wide to use in most single…

So I've been doing DIY for a little while now, and I've yet to get an entire day's worth down. Has anyone had this trouble? I've been making it in meal segments (3 mixes per day). It never fails that by the time lunch rolls around, i'm barely done with…

Is there a place where we can see current backlog status? I'm asking because i want to know when it is ok to place new order.

Hey Soylent people. I'm interested in trying soylent, but it takes so long to ship. Why is that/what can I do in the meantime?

I've been using Schmoylent for about a week now, I started off drinking it once a day, usually in the mornings or whenever I woke up. After 2 or 3 days, I moved to twice a day, breakfast and dinner. This is when the cravings started. I wouldn't be hungry,…

Three days ago I finally got my month's supply in the mail, and this morning I finished off my first pouch. I like it and would like to continue to use it, except that soon after having it I keep getting really bad acid reflux. I wanted to know if anyone…

Greetings from the UK! I heard about Soylent from an American friend, and was interested to actually give it a go, though I remember reading that they used fish oil but were planning to make a vegan version, so I decided to wait and check back. Either…

I want to make the Liquid Cake DIY Soylent, but getting all the ingredients in Australia looks to be problematic. I'm hoping I can get the Kirkland pills from Costco, but it looks like I'll have to get the other pills from eBay. Anyone know better ways,…

Looking at this recipe, it has two different kinds of pills. Am I supposed to mash them up and put it in the drink, or just take them normally? http://diy.soylent.me/recipes/australian-mix-close-to-us-male-2000-cal Also, is there anything to be worried…

As many of you are, I was very much looking forward to being a new consumer of Soylent. I am a college student, and as such, I tend to skip meals because I don't always have the time, and even when I do, I don't tend to have a nutritionally balanced diet.…

I recently received my supply of Soylent and am enjoying it quite a bit. My roommate however, being the Devil's Advocate and expert logician [without his own research] told me that I mine as well have went out and bought a multi-vitamin and a meal-replacement…

Someone on here was kind enough to sell me a week of Soylent to try it out. I have an order that I made in May because I knew I'd be having a hip surgery and wouldn't want to be cooking for myself for the next 2-3 weeks or so. Figured Soylent would be…

Just got my shipping notice for my 2-week order, should ship tomorrow. I personally was thinking it would be a month or two till they would get to the 2-week orders for I am pleasantly surprised.

A sudden overseas move for work means that I won't get the chance to use these supplies. Originally purchased from Honeyville: [maltodextrin](http://shop.honeyville.com/maltodextrin-50lb.html) - $20 [soy protein isolate](http://shop.honeyville.com/soy-protein-isolate.html)…

Does anyone have specific directions on how to treat oat four before mixing DIY Soylent? I read a post about a research study that stated microwaving for 2.5 minutes cooked it thoroughly enough for consumption, however when I microwaved 132g for 3 minutes…

I have noticed that there are not many recipes that use rice flour instead of masa or oat flour. I was wondering if the texture and taste might be an improvement. Have any of you tried substituting rice flour into your recipes?

I am planning on using Soylent to replace a few meals a week. I fully expect to take several days to week to consume a single days worth of soylent. How long does mixed soylent stay good? I looked for official guide lines on how long after preparation…

Has anyone found a viable solution for calculating ingredient ratios given a set of targets? It seems like computers would help reduce the difficulty in calculations

I went to the page and finally ordered a batch so I can try this out. I feel it would be really amazing for me right now to replace all of my snack cravings with Soylent then keep to a nice steak dinner from time to time. I got excited at the prospect…

I was one of the first backers over a year ago. Just received my confirmation that my 2 week order is on it's way. I'm stoked. Quick question: If I'm taking a 'greens' supplement that covers a ton of the micro nutrients and such, should I stop taking…

I'm eager to get hold of soylent, but I'm starting to doubt it will even reach Europe next year at this rate. I wanted to try people chow, but amazon doesn't ship most of the ingredients to Sweden /Europe. And recently I saw joylent, but the guy running…

So. Way better tasting than my obtuse diy. Sweet but...like a banana is sweet not a mouthful of high fructose corn syrup. It has a pleasant texture that didnt cause any fuss with my blender bottles. Had the gf try it and she agrees its way better than…

I originally read about Soylent around March or April and as a graduate student with unhealthy eating habits I was immediately interested. I started looking through the soylent DIY website but was overwhelmed with all of the information. Since I was going…

I've been experimenting with blackstrap molasses as an ingredient. It has a ton of potassium, calcium, magnesium, and iron, as well as smaller amounts of some B vitamins, copper, selenium, and choline. I find it pretty tasty. Every brand seems to have…

I'll emphasize this is just my own personal experience, as I know each person's body can react differently, but wow... swapping from Corn Masa (in a variant of People Chow 3.0.1) to Oat Flour, has made a world of difference. To summarize: * Texture…

Just wanted to show the mechanics and ease of using a pump to measure oil instead of.... well: every other method I've tried * putting it into individual containers for each meal * pouring 1/4 of the daily oil into each meal from a measured container…

So not quite soylent, but I thought you guys might be the best people to give perspective. I'm not particularly active right now (hopefully will be in the fall), but the medication I take makes me constantly parched and drinking and expelling a ton of…

I plan to buy at least 3 weeks of Soylent and document the changes it makes on me physically and emotionally. I will record my initial weight and bmi to see where I change. I looked for a thoroughly detailed explanation from someone who did this and I…

First off, I did read the FAQ and the sticky. I get what soylent is and I'm super interested! But I have a few questions that I'm sure have been discussed in some detail, but I can't find readily available. So here they are: 1) Soylent is obviously…

I've got a recipe base that I like, and now I'm trying to optimize for cost. What is the cheapest / most favored whey protein that you guys have found? I've been using a "cents per gram of protein" metric. That is, (cost in cents)/( (g of protein per…

My wife and I each ordered 1 month on May 4th, 2014 - just under the wire to be considered backers. A few minutes ago, just past midnight CST on what would technically be August 12th, 2014 we each received two emails from Soylent: one tracking number…

I just got an email from Soylent saying "Your order has shipped!" Although the text of the email says it is actually shipping tomorrow and the only thing listed is the starter kit. I only ordered 2 weeks worth during the original crowd funding campaign…

I'm probably worrying for no reason, but based on the ingredients, is Joylent completely healthy/safe? Seeing numbers over 700% for the RDI seems really high, but I'll admit to not knowing much about anything when it comes to this. How would it compare…

I started with 100%Food last week and couldn't be happier. Each bottle brings me a satisfaction normal food doesn't seem to provide. I know that there are people looking at Meal Replacements as a dietary aide and I think ultimately it can be great for…

Aussie Soylent interviewed by SBS2 The Feed tomorrow (12/Aug) @ 7:30PM SBS2 The Feed @ 7:30pm Last week we were interviewed by SBS2 about the new food movement Soylent. It was a fun process - I thought we were just going to have a chat but they brought…

I've been eating a 1767 calorie variant of people chow for the past few weeks and it's been working well for me. I lose about 2 pounds per week and don't have any real problems with hunger or cravings. When I started out on 2000 calorie people chow…

I'm **not** looking to replace most/all of my daily food intake with soylent, but I would be very interested in replacing one meal each day with some sort of powdered food. Much of the talk I see is about replacing most/all of your food intake with…

What is in the coffee and how will it effect the absorption of other vitamins and minerals? I just figure the flavor wouldn't hurt and I'm going to want the caffeine anyway. Update: So I just googled this, and from all the articles I read, it seems…

Correct me if I’m wrong, but what Soylent lacks right now is infrastructure and distribution, no? They seem to be taking a lot of time to fulfill the initial backer-orders. I understand that Soylent is a crowd-funded startup, but I feel like they underestimated…

I'm looking to lose some body fat while I continue to workout. So Im not looking to cut calories because I need them. Ive been running people chow 3.0.1 and have about a 2 month supply of it so ideally I could just modify that to a low fat high protein…

I have anxiety and had a panic attack come on today. In an effort to help after, my boyfriend offered to buy me some food. Chinese is my favorite and I hadn't eaten my dinner portion yet anyways. Long story short, I've been wanting to puke for a couple…

My official Soylent has arrived, but my Starter Kit has vanished into the depths of FedEx. Rather than wait for who knows how long to get the pitcher & scoop, I'd rather get started, so I've got a few questions: 1. If I plan to ease into Soylent…

And wow! I've tried DIY (People Chow) and two blends from Axcho (People Fuel Plain and Schmoylent). I'm a huge fan of Schmoylent. But the things that stands out about Soylent is the texture. Much smoother and lighter than anything I've tried DIY. The…

Warning, the following video does contain a scatalogical term that is NSFW for many people: http://youtu.be/trGrGU5oLRA (has swearing)

I just have a 2 week order so this is some good news. It said by 8/13. Anyone else get theirs? Edit:says 8/13 not 8/19

according to: https://diy.soylent.me/shipment-tracker?sort=shipmentTracker.kitTrackingEmail&dir=desc People who have ordered up to April have received tracking emails. But there is no way to message those people to see if that is true. Anyone have…

Hey r/soylent Could you please criticise my recipe. Want to give it a try next week. (Getting medically supervised for this too) http://diy.soylent.me/recipes/teds-soylent-v1

I want to share my story, as I think it's a different narrative than what you normally hear from Soylent enthusiasts. When I found out about Soylent, I knew it was going to be 'the cure'. My problem is that I'm skinny. Too skinny. I am about 5'8 and…

I remember a while back someone was asking if Soylent was safe to use while pregnant. Now, every sane person on earth will want to ask your own ob/gyn with your own health situation in mind... That said, yesterday my ob/gyn gave me the green light to…

I've been taking probiotics for the past 5 days and beano before my meals the past 3 days but i'm still having bad gas. My diet before soylent was terrible so i'm wondering if that's why it's taken me longer to get used to it? Does anyone have further…

[This is the recipe...](http://www.cookingfor20.com/2013/06/18/hacker-school-soylent-recipe/)

It can be found here: http://diy.soylent.me/recipes/super-soldier-serum-v20 I was kind of obsessive in trying to keep all the vitamin levels as close 100% as possible. I need to try to bring down the Omega-6, but that might be useless, those numbers…

I just received my first batch of 100%Food and I have Soylent on order. After satisfying the curiosity of my fellow co-workers, I downed my first bottle of Chocolate. This stuff might just save my life. Whether it was my economic background growing…

Hi all, I'm a 23 year old in the UK who started the below DIY soylent recipe on Tuesday following some helpful suggestions from everyone, its loosely based on the liquid cake recipe. As I didn't want a pure recipe I got the nutritional values for fruit…

[Remember, supplements can lie](http://np.reddit.com/r/Fitness/comments/tcpmt/american_pure_whey_is_american_pure_shit/) This coupled with the fact that they can label it with an rda number not even close to the actual bio availability (see magnesium…

Hi everyone! Can I please get a critique on my recipe? You can find it [here](http://diy.soylent.me/recipes/sydneys-beauty-formula). I set out to make a ketogenic recipe with weight loss and balanced nutrition as my goal. There’s a large calorie deficit…

I like my soylent. It tastes like chocolate pudding. But I'm not hungry. I have maybe a third left and I feel like I'm forcing myself to eat. This is day two on [my recipe]( https://diy.soylent.me/recipes/jeannies-soylent-2) and I can't finish it. A…

So I got my soylent in today and had a meal. Since then, all afternoon my eyes have been tingling..little stab like tingles. Anyone experience this?

So I received my 100% food shipment in the mail. It came in about 4 days after my order, so the shipping time was excellent. Now I've heard plenty of complaints about the texture of 100% food (I got chocolate flavor) but I wasn't too worried because i'm…

So I have been trying a premade diy from www.custombodyfuel.com and it's great...except the weird texture of the Chia seeds. Is there an alternative to them or a better way to deal with them? They seem to end up with like a slimey texture. When I make…

The use of the term "open source" in connection with this... product... or whatever... is, quite simply, a fucking singularly moronic bastardization of its meaning. There can be absolutely no cogent equivocation over this specific point. None whatsoever.…

A friend and I really want to try Soylent, but the wait times are obnoxious and we don't want to buy a giant package of it, wait 3-4 months, and then decide we don't like it. So, if you're willing to sell us a couple of packages of stuff you have extra,…

[Here](https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B9QpcA2GfIqEeFNoelg2Vnk5UFU/edit) is the published and distributed ingredients/nutrition list to customers who purchase from them. [Powdered foods](http://market.powderedfoods.com/?download=mana-for-7-days-21-meals)…

I ordered the $60 package before the product was released and have yet to receive anything. Has it been sent yet? If yes, how do I go about seeking a refund for the product I paid for but never got?

TLDNR: I'm basically wingeing that the gods of amazon didn't ship my order MOAR quicker-er Depending on what it is, I've gotten to the point where I need to order more of something before my last order of it arrives. Either that or have a ton of it on-hand.…

Does it make a difference?

It really makes the concoction gross. I'm really proud of my DIY recipe and am excited to see what happens, but I want it to taste better. It could be a little sweeter so I'm planning on adding a little splenda or agave nector. Other than that, it's…

I have been doing quidnyc diy for several months with no issues, recently changed from the Costco pill vitamin to GNC Mega Men. It tastes great but my head hurts all day after drinking it. Anyone else?

Some background about me. I'm 31y/o 6'2" and 230lbs. I've been vegan for 10 months in a successful attempt to eat healthier. I've been running consistently for 3 months now. Started at 1.5 miles 3x a week and am now pushing 4 miles 3x a week with some…

I have PKU, so any normal protein source (whey, masa flour, etc.) has too much Phenylalanine for me (an amino acid in protein). My current diet is limited to 350 mg of Phenylalanine per day (which is roughly equivalent to 7g of protein, but mg Phenylalanine…

* Add water & oil to bag * Use blender in the bag like it insulted your mother * Seal bag and back in the fridge it goes, or wherever it needs to be. This has helped reduce the wait time to consumption (it's still better to let it sit, but the texture…

I'm targeting my blend for 2,600 calories. At the moment I have 200g each oat flour and maltodextrine. Should I be worried about the nutrient absorption issue with the oat flour at that level? If so, what level would be more safe?

Lets say I'm subsisting entirely on soylent and liquids, would I still have to defecate or would I excrete waste only by urinating?

Is anybody just taking calcium magnesium pills vs adding the powder into their People Chow? It seems like it would be easier to take the pills than to have to mix it in and I imagine it would improve the overall taste, too. The only concern I have after…

I would like to add hemp protein to my diy recipe but I'm having trouble finding complete nutritional info for [Nutiva Organic Hemp Protein 15g.](http://www.amazon.com/Nutiva-Organic-Hemp-Protein-3-Pound/dp/B001OHX1ZY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1407160798&sr=8-1&keywords=nutiva+organic+hemp+protein)…

Is there a place that sells the DIY soylent already packaged up so I do not have to do any measuring?

My friend finally got his Soylent order in after doing the DIY stuff for about a month (he got sick of waiting). He gave me a few packs to sample and well needless to say I am hooked on the real stuff. Its so much better than the DIY. I am in the Phoenix…

**tl;dr: Having a glass of Soylent before a workout gives you plenty of energy for gains, and if you're a fluffy bastard like me, Soylent may help you lose some chub.** So I've been eating official Soylent consistently since Jun 10, which is about a…

I originally backed soylent via their crowd fund site: [https://soylent.backerkit.com/](https://soylent.backerkit.com/) I have already received a month's supply and am getting to a point where I would like to re-up but I've spent an hour trying to decrypt…

I read through the FAQ and some blogs, and it says I might be short on water, but I've downed a pint and a half before noon, in addition to two pints right before bed last night. Plus the water in the soylent. I'm feeling alert, but I seem to have waves…
