And it was pretty much a disaster. I started with the people chow recipe and purchased everything from the Amazon link. Except I neglected to notice that the potassium was sold through another vendor, so I am missing that. I figure I can throw something…

I've been hearing more about soylent recently, and decided I should try a week over the summer. However, I've heard there have been large delays in orders for small quantities. Is it likely I would receive a 1 week supply by august, or is it viable to…

Has anyone else experienced this kind of change or is this just a marketing ploy?

What is an easy way of increasing the amount of calories in a DIY soylent mix, without the cost getting really high, and with keeping an acceptable ratio of carbs/protein/fat Some background: i am a somewhat active 17 y/o male, and the 2000 calories…

Text post as to not karma whore. A few regs were selling their DIY soylent on the discourse (which was a pretty messy set-up, truth be told), and they came together to make a sort of farmer's market: http://www.powderedfoods.com/ I am not one of them/not…

I am playing around with the soylent diy maker. Is there a way to rearrange ingredients after they've been added?

I've tried everything from cake batter to skim milk, and I can't seem to choke it down. So i've been grilling mine into little protein pancakes and just eating them instead. I'm using a slightly modified version of people chow with more protein, a little…

Now that Soylent 1.0 has been in the wild for a bit, I am curious if anyone has a favorite bottle that they would like to recommend. I noticed that the Soylent team listed a few on the blog, but I would like to hear from folks with real world experience.…

My grandad has dementia and has pretty much refused to eat for the past three days. The lack of calories and nutrition is obviously having a huge impact on his energy levels and brain function. But he is still drinking some, so I'm hopeful that soylent…

Can anyone suggest an alternative to Soylent until it is possible to buy it in the EU? I have neither the time nor the inclination to make it myself and am worried that the forwarding services in the US would be too expensive on an ongoing basis.

just wondering if turning the powder into some type of pancake would be possible. I've never tried soylent but people describe it and kinda like drinking cake batter so it got me thinking. I don't know the first thing about cooking but I'm curious if…

Hey all, first time poster here - long time lurker (the usual drill...) I've modified a pre-existing recipe to suit the ingredients I can get hold of (and currently have to hand) and am struggling to meet my calorie requirements. I'm trying to gain weight,…

I ran out of Mega Men Sport, and ordered some more. What came has a dramatically stronger vanilla flavor, and it's really thrown off the taste of my recipe. Has anyone experienced anything like this or might offer a solution? I really liked the taste…

Me and my girlfriend have ordered a month each, its being sent to a ship-to address, then we are paying to have it shipped over here, our starter kits have arrived, just waiting on the actual soylent.…

I was talking to my partner about Soylent and he suggested adding powdered gelatin to a batch. A little bit would make a really thick shake and more would make more solid food like Jelly/Jelo. Maybe we could make food cubes? Has anyone tried something…

Curious what are some ways to sweeten up a DIY mix w/o messing up the existing nutrient mix. E.g. cocoa is going to change it too much at the moment, but is brown sugar and cinnamon okay, though? (nevermind the change in carbs)

The [usda lists](http://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/magnesium.asp) the recommended intake of magnesium as 420mg, it lists the UL as 350mg…is it just me, or...

I had some serious negative ramifications with this powder (I think). Is anyone else noticing any overkill? I feel like the massive b6 and maybe the niacin massive doses were the cause? Anyone else having issues with that supplement? Anyone find any…

There have been some negative articles recently saying that Soylent could never replace food. But what about the other side? Can food replace Soylent? Has anyone ever worked out what it would take in real food to match the daily nutritional value of…

Hello. I would appreciate your guys help with something. I pre-mixed my DIY Soylent for two weeks and after a week of using it I am noticing something odd. So, while the dry powder is in the bag it all looks and smells 'normal’, which is nice. However,…

The recipe is based on QuidNYC's Cheaperfood. However, I changed recipe and sources to make it much cheaper for a first timer (like me) who wants to try DIY Soylent for a couple of days. As a result you will need less than $50 to buy all the ingredients.…

I was wondering what folks thought about eliminating the "oil" requirement and getting all the fat you're trying to obtain from dry sources. For example almond flour is high in fats as is soy lecithin and using these dry ingredients you can get whatever…

Just finished my first batch of Omni Chow 1.1 and am looking for feedback from Soylent DIY'ers who want to take a look at my first recipe. http://diy.soylent.me/recipes/omni-chow-11 Go easy on me as I'm new to /r/soylent =) Will also be tracking progress…

Just wanted to update everyone here. A friend of mine ordered 8 weeks last summer when we found out about it. She just got the shipping email today that says her order has shipped via FedEx. We live on the east coast, near/in Philadelphia. The shipping…

I am new to Soylent after reading the New Yorker article. I have been to the [DRI calculator] (http://fnic.nal.usda.gov/fnic/interactiveDRI/) to get the DRI for my age (56). The DRI calls for 2878 cal/day (wow) I would like to steadily lose a little…

Made my recipe, got all my ingredients ordered. Now I just need to get the hardware. What are the cheapest place to get: * shaker cup * suitable scale * anything else I'm not foreseeing as useful? Thanks!

I made up a batch of Soylent for tomorrow but I've been invited to a bbq, and I allow myself to eat food at the weekend, so do you think it'd be ok to leave the batch in the fridge until Sunday? Only thing I could think of going bad would be maybe the…

I'm planning on starting my own DIY Soylent and where I live I have not found any multivitamin in powder form only in the forms of pills. Is there any difference in the effectiveness of how the body takes up vitamins and minerals from powder or pills…

Wondering on the space efficiency of soylent whilst camping/hiking. Also the enjoyability/how fulfilling it is. Also, what were your water needs/intake during the camping period, if you were on soylent? Was toiletry an issue? etc. Many things I'm interested…

It occurred to me that the perfect complement to a Soylent Diet is Beef Jerky. It will give you the extra protein you need if you exercise and something hard to chew on, two of the most common problems associated with a Soylent diet. Plus, it's super…

So I just stumbled on to this recently, and I've found it very interesting because I often find taking the time to eat annoying. However, I have no interest in it as a liquid, and no interest in eating it. I don't want to taste it. This would only be…

As a first time buyer who only wants to start off with 21 meals, is it not smarter and more economical to purchase the subscription at $70 and then cancel it after the first month? It says you can cancel at anytime, is this true (without any fees)?

Started reading and getting interested in soylent in the past couple weeks and decided that I would try my hand at making some DIY for myself. I think I got a DIY blend that that should work for me, but I just wanted to post it here to see if anybody…

As I'm sure plenty of people in this sub are, I'm passionate about Soylent and eagerly awaiting my official batch. And as with most things that I'm passionate about, I talk about it often with others. But I find it difficult to succinctly describe Soylent…

Does all soybean oil contain omega 3 and/or 6 acids? Iin the people chow recipe it has a fancy looking bottle with the acids, and was wondering if a generic bottle from walmart would provide the same benefit, but its not listed on the label

Hello, I am using People's Chow 3.0.1. according to the recipe on the DIY site. I made no substitutions, and have added some vanilla extract for taste. I've been experiencing some weird side effects this week that are concerning to me. I'm feeling…

Hey guys, Using diy.soylent for two days now and while im feeling fine I experience some heartburn in the mornings and throughout the days. Anyone else has made that experience? Greetings!

I'm not personally a user, might be interested, but that all hinges on the above. I understand there's a certain level of customization you have access to when ordering this type of product, but I don't know what types of materials go into the bits that…

Just curious. My first batch was incredibly gritty and actually irritated my throat. I suffered through it, but I was wondering if anyone has tried mixing theirs with hot water to any success. Are there any issues with using hot water? I don't mean boiling…

Soylent sounds like a dream come true for me, but from my understanding, it derives much (if not all?) of its nutrients from artificial chemicals/compounds. What are these compounds? Most people I've read are reporting positively about their Soylent…

I'm a bit of a newbie on Soylent, going on my third week now and feeling great. I'm also walking two miles each day just before lunch. I am using the People Chow (Tortilla Perfection) recipe. I used corn flour for the first two weeks and just yesterday…

Howdy, as the title says I'm about one week in on DIY [keto soylent](http://diy.soylent.me/recipes/quidnycs-ketofood-for-ongoing-ketosis). Here is an observation I thought was interesting. So, I was on (and off and on) a keto solid food diet. I have…

http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2014/05/the-psychology-of-soylent-and-the-prison-of-first-world-food-choices/ > But not every meal needs to be a festive life-affirming display of cultural pageantry where we march from kitchen to table bearing the carefully…

I originally ordered a week. Before things locked I added one month, bringing my total to 5 weeks. Julio said it should charge two weeks before shipping. It just charged today. Just figured more information never hurts and anyone in the ballpark who's…

http://diy.soylent.me/recipes/test-209 I had a hard time using any of the premade ones because I live in a small city in Northern Canada (no big box stores). So this recipe is based off websites that will ship to me and items that I can source locally.…

I'm so sick of dealing with making food. My shipment can't come soon enough, I was stupid and only ordered a couple of weeks :( I feel like it'll be another 4 months before I see mine at my door. Post your hype and sadness about playing the waiting…

Here's my recipe: http://diy.soylent.me/recipes/robs-version-of-quidnycs-ketofood-for-ongoing-ketosis The title says it all. I'm having issues with my DIY recipe, and I was hoping people might have some tips. I went and got all the ingredients from…

I went to give blood today, and was rejected solely because I was on soylent (DIY based off of people chow). They understood it was healthy (after a 10 minute discussion) but said they needed me to have eaten solid food, some meat and potatoes. Just a…

3 meals a day? Constant sip? Beer hat? All in the morning till you feel like you wanna burst?

I plan on using this for two meals a day and cooking one slightly carb heavy vegetarian dinner each day. I would appreciate any input. Thanks! http://diy.soylent.me/recipes/lennys-version-of-superfood

this is what i came up with for a cheaper masa, switiching the protein to a pea/rice/soy mix from truenutrition and subbing cia seeds for the expensive oil i purposefully went a little under on the carbs and over on the protein because i will be ting…

As long as it isn't called *Soylent*, it's okay I guess?

I'm creating a ketogenic recipe at the moment which is 99% complete - apart from a very low phosphorus count. I can't find any information on my current Whey protein having phosphorus in it, and I do not want to take the risk of assuming it does. I know…

Ever since getting a vitamix blender last year, I've been really interested in meal replacement shakes. I absolutely love the idea of soylent, as I eat mainly for sustainance and don't want to spend time shopping, prepping, cooking, clieaning if I can…

I am looking into using isomaltulose as a very low GI carbohydrate source, but the best deal I can find is at 10$/pound. Does anyone know of any cheaper or bulk sources? The only way I have found to get a better deal is to order 100 kg from China at…

Hi all! I have been making my own custom protein shake for a couple years now using the website truenutrition.com While it is a highly convenient website, the prices on ingredients seems to have jumped about 35% in the past year, after a few years…

Hey there, thanks for your time. I'm an original backer of the campaign and I want to purchase additional weeks of soylent. The backer website wont let me access the "add-ons" tab anymore because my order has been locked down for processing. I want to…
