http://discourse.soylent.me/t/clinical-trials/4753 Has anyone heard official plans for proper clinical trials and independent research? A quick Google only yielded reporters discussing their experience and Rob's. What would you like to see from clinical…

I have seen some people here talk about baking soylent into other products, or making pancakes, or freezing it. Doesn't this break down the nutrients? Therefore you will not be receiving the proper amount. Or am I wrong? Thanks

I thought they accepted Bitcoin for Soylent (I don't remember where I heard about it though). Any idea?

Hello all, I'm looking into using a reshipping service and was hoping someone here could tell me the approximate dimensions (including weight) of the 7 bag order and 21 bag order so I can get a estimate on the reshipping cost. Also, I was wondering…

I have been looking at people chow on the diy.soylent.me website and when I hit "order this on amazon" the price is considerably different than what the recipe lists. Are prices always drastically different (4.99 to 29.99) or is this just an amazon thing…

I've decided to take the plunge and engage ReShip.com's services to get my 2 months of Soylent to me in Canada. Account established with ReShip and their confirmation that they've dealt with Soylent before and it will have no problem crossing the US/Canada…

I don't know what it is. I've been so freakin' excited about getting Soylent since I first heard about it over a year ago. I knew it wouldn't be delicious, and I thought I was prepared for that. But right now I'm sitting here at my desk with a bottle…

I just heard about Soylent today after watching Colbert. Looks like some great stuff, and I'd like to try it out, but the minimum investment is $85. I don't really want to spend that much just to find out I can't stand the stuff. Is there any way to purchase…

So I've been playing with the idea of a People Chow with olive oil instead of soybean and a kirkland multivitamin instead of the GNC powder since I was worried about the amounts of vitamins B6 and B12. I basically ended up taking /u/chrisbair's recipe…

I have PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) and need to be very careful with maintaining my hormone levels. Soylent has Soy Lecithin and most of the optional recipes include either Soy or Flaxseed, both of which contain phystoestrogens. Are their recipes…

Just trying to compile a list to compare and figured it might be helpful for others as well. if you have any other suggestions, please add them in the comments. I am trying to stick with Amazon Prime but anything with free shipping on Amazon or from another…

*edit* Manufacture Date ≠ Expiration Date, my mistake, thanks for clarification synn89! My Soylent just arrived this week and, in general, I'm pleased with it. However, a friend happened to notice that the included oil has a 4 month old expiration date…

I've tried using PayPal and a Visa but I keep getting an "Unexpected Error" and the end of checkout. Did the Colbert Bump cripple Soylent sales? Edit: I was able to order today, can't wait for the 10 or so weeks to pass so I can try soylent for the first…

Having seen Soylent on the Colbert Report today, I am thinking of getting some friends together to try Soylent. I probably currently eat in excess of the 2010 calories in a Soylent bag, I'm not entirely sure though. The question I have, is do most people…

Hello all! I am considering purchasing soylent. I am overweight (due to hormone/thyroid problems, not bad eating), and I didn't know if this would help! I didn't see it in the website FAQ, so I figured I would ask here! Thanks for all your help!

So, one of the things about Soylent that's sort of nagged me has always been the carbs. Before I heard of Soylent I was into Keto alot. I lost 35 pounds, started at 212 and ended at 177, I quit because I had a surgery and I couldn't avoid carby food at…

http://diy.soylent.me/recipes/people-chow-301-tortilla-perfection If say I wanted to mix up people chow, can someone tell me how much the gram amounts listed here are going to make? For instance is it a day's worth? Is it a serving? Is it 2000 calories…

My Soylent arrives Thursday. It feels surreal that after over a year (I ordered in the first 30 minutes of the crowdfunding campaign), I'll finally be sipping the official stuff Thursday night. So my question to you fellow long term waiters who have already…

I'm getting ready to do QuidNYC's super food diy soylent recipe which I read makes for 1.5 - 2 litres per day, do you guys have 2L water bottles you carry around? I was thinking maybe those [protein bottles](http://shop.usana.com/shop/cart/ProductDetails?ProductID=752.010007#.U5e87dGvBTc)…

I tried people chow 3.0.1 today for the first time. I threw up after finishing 16oz of it. Unfortunately the texture was too much for me. I was wondering if anyone has had this experience or if I am just a wuss. I think I will just have to wait for a…

http://diy.soylent.me/recipes/big-active-chow I've modified my recipe some. Check out the notes and ask any questions. Please give me some suggestions! I want to buy all the ingredients soon and don't want to botch the recipe and have $450 of ingredients…

This might be more of a question for FedEx, but maybe this is happening to someone else too. I did submit a query and the response was a generic response telling me how to track it or something. I don't understand why FedEx would just leave a package…

I'm experimenting with storing People Chow by making a week's worth at once. I separated it into little baggies for each meal. My goal is to just have a baggy I can grab and go - just add water. I mixed in the soybean oil as well, since the masa absorbs…

So my official Soylent won't be coming for a bit (I only ordered a month's worth last month), but I've been doing DIY 50-90% of the day for about 3 weeks. I am using a modified version of [this recipe](http://diy.soylent.me/recipes/mens-basic-complete-nutrition-chocolate-1600).…

We were going to ship it to the UK (where we live) but we found a cheaper DIY version which we are enjoying, so we have decided to sell our two months worth for $500. if you are interested message me or email me at stuartgjthomas@gmail.com…

Hello! Welcome to the place for discussions, experiences, questions, and news about a complete meal replacement solution called soylent. Be sure to go through our [wiki page](/r/soylent/wiki) first and foremost, or see below for a quick summary. Ctrl…

This is prompted by the ['Why I will never use the official soylent thread'](http://www.reddit.com/r/soylent/comments/27ockj/why_i_love_the_idea_of_soylent_but_refuse_to/), but I felt like this warrants a post of its own, because the discussion was more…

Like many others, I saw the blog post on 4/23 and added to my order. I added a month to my original order, bringing my total order to 5 weeks. They said as long as the email and shipping addresses matched your order would be consolidated. Whelp...5 week…

The title says it all. I can't afford to buy a huge bulk order right now because they come to like $200 even for the cheap orders. Is there any way that someone could sell me a bit of Soylent from Amazon? Not sure if Amazon would allow this or not.

Hello everyone, I was excited when I discovered Soylent, then bummed when it's US only. However, I found the DIY link here and have been reading up and playing with it. I was on a Keto diet in the US and lost some weight over a couple of months, but…

**EDIT 2**: I noticed someone marked this thread with a FUD tag (without mentioning why). I really am trying not to be a fearmonger but rather provoke discussion about the maltodextrin in Soylent and say why *I* am not drinking it (yet). So I wanted…

Each day I'll put tomorrow's rations in the refrigerator to thaw. I read somewhere that when pre-mixed it doesn't last too long in the fridge (spoilage? texture?) so I tossed it in the freezer instead. Due to my current rooming situation it's just easier…

I ordered a single week, and after realizing the shipping time may take two months, I purchased an unopened week of Soylent via Ebay. That should arrive in the next day or two, but if I like it, I'd like to modify my existing single week order into a…

For my diy soylent I use several products that come in gelatine capsules. For calcium and magnesium it is easy, you can just take them appart and get the powder out. For the Omega 3-6-9 the capsules are sealed. Also the ingredient is oily so I would rather…

How many Blender Bottles do you need for 1 day of Soylent 1.0? I saw a People Chow video and it looks like it might be 4 - but for some reason I expected 3. Also, can someone recommend an insulated bag / non-hardshell cooler that will hold 2 or 3 Blender…

Are there any commercial alternatives based on DIY recipes that are currently shipping? I'm waiting on two weeks of the official stuff and I'm getting very impatient.

Wanted to do this type of thing for a long time, for various reasons. First and foremost: I need to drop some weight. I'm a tall, large-frame guy—not young, so my metabolism rate isn't what it used to be. Also, I live in Hong Kong, so DIY is my only…

Hello all, Would any of you know if there could be any negative consequence to mixing a bunch of different oils together? I use a few different oils (olive, coconut, wheat germ, hemp seed, flax seed) in my recipe and it would be much more convenient…

At work, about to shake up some people chow before drinking it and... the lid wasn't on tight. Dumped it all over my lap. Sadly this is actually the second time this has happened though it was by far the worst. Now that it's dried I look like a baby threw…

Hi everybody, I offered to make this recipe public in another thread and there was some interest so here it is. And yes, I am admittedly long-winded. I hope this helps some of you who may be on the fence about trying DIY soylent or haven't found a recipe…

First of all, thanks for all the information that I didn't need to ask for. this forum is an awesome resource. After reading about Soylent for about a year and lurking here occasionally for the past couple of months, I've decided to give it a try. I…

I ordered up a month's supply about a month ago. I recently moved in with a friend. So, I have a new address. I have been trying to contact Soylent customer service to update the shipping address for about 2 weeks now and haven't heard a peep out of…

This is a lot more expensive than most recipes, but I burn a lot more calories than the average person. I'm 6'2" 200 lbs and very active so my maintenance calories are just under 3000. It hits every macro from IIFYM and DRIs, but I'm a little wary about…

I think it's plausible when you consider state-dependent memory--that is, we are more likely to remember things if we are experiencing a similar set of circumstances to whatever we're trying to recall. Given that on a Soylent-only diet we would only be…

I found out about soylent almost a year ago and it seemed like something I would like to try, but my initial attempts to put together a DIY recipe and ingredient list were unsuccessful. Now I'm about to start grad school and I'm really thinking soylent…

Title says it all. Really want to get on the Soylent train but the shipping time has me delaying right now so I need something I can make at home but I would like it to be as cheap as possible. I'm planning on using my passive income (Amazon cards) to…

My original order arrives tomorrow, which I'm pumped. I know I'm going to want/need it so I already reordered. How long has reorder taken for you guys? I know official is 1-2 weeks, just wanted to see the real world experiences. Thanks!

I'm just getting on the people chow formula. I sourced everything from Amazon but would like to start sourcing things locally because I can't be waiting three weeks for things to ship out. I live in Seattle and there are Super Supplements, Vitamin Shoppes…

Here is my ingredients http://diy.soylent.me/recipes/lennys-version-of-superfood

So I've been on official soylent for around 3 weeks now and I'm loving it! My only complaint (more so my girlfriend's) so far are the farts that I produce. The farts are extremely potent - I'm talking the warm, deadly traps that linger in your wake if…

So after weeks of research and contemplating, I am finally going to attempt to create my first batch of diy Soylent this week. I am expecting to receive my final ingredients from Amazon tomorrow. However, after weeks of trying, I have been unable to…

Also dieting. Lost 15 lbs with low carb dieting and staying away from processed foods. Looking to lose more by slowly replacing meals with DIY soylent. 4 days in of breakfast replacement.

Hi, i recently discovered Soylent and it seems like something I would like to try and possibly get into the DIY Soylent making. I had a question about Soylent and how long it would take for a weeks worth to ship (just so i could try it out) to a brand…

Sorry for the vague title. Basically I signed up for a subscription on May 16th for the monthly Soylent shipment, and decided to wait patiently. Every few days I logged into the recurly link on the Soylent page to check my account and see if anything…

I've read a lot of tips from people lately talking about mixing DIY soylent and trying to knock out the grittiness of the People's Chow 3.0.1 mix. The most repeated advice is to use warm water when blending and then to refrigerate it over night. Why…

For me it is time management first. I only want to do it when I am super busy.

I made the plunge thinking i'd have no problem with this since I've used keto for good weight loss. However I don't like it, and don't think I could drink this more than once a week. I ordered the full correct ingredient list and paid 390+ shipping. I've…

I'm a student looking to try doing DIY Soylent soon, I have this recipe I feel like I've balanced pretty well, Is their any problems/Recommendations that people think I could do with knowing? http://diy.soylent.me/recipes/cheap-chocolate-xs-blend-testing…

It's what I plan to do in about a month and would love to hear from people whove tried it while working out. (weights mainly.)

So I just recently learned about Soylent and am very eager to try it. However, the 9-12 week wait is ridiculous. Should I just go DIY with one of the popular recipes? Or should I order officially and wait. What's been your experience with DIY soylent

Hi, I'm hoping some of you smart people can help me out. I'm planning on trying soylent, but I'm a bit concerned because I take a significant amount of prescription meds- specifically adderall, Wellbutrin, lexapro, and a low estrogen birth control. Has…

Throwaway because I'm embarrassed and etc. I'm a *bit* overweight, 5'10" and 328 pounds (148.7 kg) since a few days ago. And I'm 15. Yay. I'm having a hard time convincing my mom to go through with letting me try Soylent, and by the time the order…

Has anyone who has Soylent or DIY noticed an improvement with their depression and anxiety issues? I know there's a connection between exercise and these conditions, so at the very least having more energy to exercise could reduce symptoms. Have you noticed…

So, I decided to go ahead and order some Soylent, but I'm currently stuck on "Searching for all shipping rates...". [Here's](http://i.imgur.com/HMZJnua.png) what it looks like. (Note, the circle next to "$85" blinks in and out of existence about once…

[Orders placed before 5/6: Currently shipping orders for 2 months of Soylent.](http://blog.soylent.me/) No specific update on Backer shipments.

Hmmm - link didnt attach. Here it is https://twitter.com/lifeonsoylent Elaine seems quite detail oriented and as of today has started drinking and detailing her consumption and results with real Soylent. I will be watching closely myself, and if you…

hello reddit, I am days away from ordering all my ingredients for my custom DIY soylent. And I couldn't be more excited. This is going to change my life. However, I have an issue. Some ingredients will be ground finer than others. I would like to get…

Does anyone have any experience with changing out Oat Flour with Rice flour?

So, I am very sedentary, I think I would maintain on around 1700-1800 calories. However, on active days, I might burn an additional 200-300 calories that day. How do you measure the amount of calories in soylent to adjust for your (personal) calorie…

I'm trying to gauge how long it will take them to ship out the next batch of orders when they are finished with the 9-12 week shipments.

In light of the rather long fulfillment times assuming I place an order for Soylent today when will my credit card be charged? Will I be billed immediately or only when my order is shipped? Thanks.
