Simple one page http://www.100percentfood.com/ just released.Is it better than http://www.spacenutrientsstation.com/ ?!Thanks!

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)…

I just received a package with the pitcher, scooper , and no actual product. Is the Soylent coming in another shipment? My credit card was charged in 6/13 btw.

any news? It's really sad to get a tracking number and then watch my package never delivered whilst other later 1 week backers get theirs. I keep a close eye on the shipping fulfillment

Hi @Ari The package is on its way together with all orders before 12th of september. I expect the deliverytime to be under 14-days after this week!

From what I've read our brains use a fatty substance and Omega-3 is the ideal source for this fatty substance, if we don't have enough Omega-3 our bodies "scrounge" from much less ideal nutrient sources - thus explaining the overall positive effect on…

lmao. but honestly, it's not a bad idea.

Official soylent isn't working out for me as well. There is something in it (or it's lacking something) that affects me negatively and my energy SUCKS on it. There are also the farts and headaches that won't go away, makes it pretty hard to squat/run/bike…

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.…

for a month?

well yes that may apply to the calories, with you can modify anyway, but the real question is with the micro nutrients.

Yeah. Soylent is sheer power. Allways be sure it works FOR you. Not AGAINST you. You will be doomed.

@spaceman is going to show up any moment to tell you about the vending machine he's working on for his brand of soylent--

Firehouse Pantry sells a number of powdered flavorings, and says they will ship (from Ohio) to Canada using UPS Standard. The Great American Spice Co. has a lot of powdered flavorings, but I can't tell if they ship to Canada--you'll have to try an order,…

and you will have hel of a lot of work removing away the smell have you ever smelled the bottle after you forgot to clean it for a day

Hi Arthur,Thanks for replying, that would be great! My contact adress ist king.jess@gmail.com. And I speak both French and English, so that shouldn't be a problem! Thanks again!Jess

Hi Chuck,Thanks for replying, that would be great! My contact adress ist king.jess@gmail.com - I can't seem to send private messages... Thanks again!Jess

I'd suggest you go to http://discourse.powderedfoods.com/, a forum for small-s soylent sellers, and post in the Ask the Dietician category. He's looked through all the DIY variants that are for sale there and could advise you which one best suits your…

It would definitely have to be stored without water. At most, you'd mix it at the time its purchased.

Al you need to do is to put mixed soylent in a tin. I wonder how this will work. Would love to be able to do that experiment at home. And fermentation is a thread here. If mixed soylent isn't kept cool, it produces explosive loads of Co2. If that happens,…

I'm looking for a source (preferably that ships to Canada for less than a million dollars) for powdered flavorings that can be added to DIY mixes. I've kept my recipe flavor neutral, and there's not much taste to it, so I'm not looking to cover anything…

Once you're pass the birth pains, if your business is alive and kicking, a bunch of us poor, starving collage kids would eat this stuff alive... if Soylent was alive. There are legions of undergrads who'd trade the ramen noodle diet and the crazy expensive,…

Rosa Labs does not currently provide this service. I believe @axcho does custom blends. He has a whole line of "Fuel" recipes, designed for different people.

I've been doing this - it works. Needs to be tapioca maltodextrin to powder the fats on their own. This stuff is very very strange. 1lb of it takes up the same volume as about 10lbs of protein powder. Also, don't open the tub of tapioca maltodextrin…

Slt ta recette depasse le taux max de vitamin B3 as tu eu des effets indésirable problème digestif, vomissement, peau qui pèle. Fais gaffe à parement ça peut endomager les cellules du foie

I am not sure if this is already in progress, but is it perhaps feasible to create customized Soylent for customers based upon their profiles? The profiles are beautiful. Figuring out how to DIY is a pain the rear end. I'd pay for someone to create a…

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…

I intend to tinker with this recipe to fit what I have at my disposal, so I have to ask ... why do so many recipes use corn flour? Is this a flavor choice or is there any particular nutritional benefit to using corn flour instead of wheat flour?

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…

I've noticed my mental faculties are greatly improved with supplementary omega 3, as well. I have ADHD, for the record. Interesting that it helps with other things as well.

Check my post above about psyllium husk. There are two types of fiber, soluble and insoluble. Soluble generally slows things down, while insoluble speeds things up. If you are getting burning, the Soylent is moving through your system quicker than…

I finally got around to trying the classic vanilla today. It smelt a bit strange - has a much stronger smell than official Soylent. I mixed it up as per the directions and tried a bit - I didn't like the flavour - was very strong. I can't really explain…

I wish I knew. There are always so many variables in my life I am unable to determine what works and what doesn't. I'm waiting for some new quantified self toys to come out that will let me keep better track of various factors which may help detangle…

IIRC Rob is a runner. The extra exercise requires a higher caloric intake.

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…

tabort VETE MJÖLET, DU KAN BLI ALVARLIGT SJUK UTAN ATT BEHANDLS DET.

Jag recomenderar di att ta bort vete mjölet med omedelbar verkan då det är väldigt dåligt att äta det utan att värme behandla det

I probably should give this a try but isn't there already quite a bit of fiber in Soylent? How would adding more fiber help?

IMO, one problem with this is the ratio of Omega 6 to Omega 3. It might be good to add a fish or krill oil supplement.

Hey, I'm asking someone to do something I have no skills for. I'll wait as long as it takes. With gratitude.

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,…

hmm, you learn something new every day , But could you please provide a source as i would love to read into that.But then it's basically only the most negativ part being the got dame high iron content(especially for DIY USERS) so is there actually…

I recommend buying from Bulk Powder in bulk, as in buying their LARGEST single quantity, while a bit more to put away you'll save so much money in the long run. From the top of my head the saving would be £1.84 PER DAY. Over the course of year that's…

Actually quiet recently a lot of information has come to pass on that. There was a really good study that basically said it was bumpkis and when people looked closer at the one study that was so often cited as confirmation of this it was shown to be…

Shortly after posting I received a shipping confirmation

and perhaps also the controversy with the suspected hindrance of testosteron effect it may have(more research needed)otherwise it's a good protean. and now as whey gets more expensive people will look fore other alternatives

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…

For anyone else I am using http://www.shipito.com/ for a monthly subscription. They charge $11 handling + shipping fee ($168.67 to Australia via DHL for 2 day shipping).I don't know about other countries - but Australia I have not had a problem with customs…

Just one more reason why people should really give Soy protein more love. It's complete, it's cheap, and it's got great bio-availability. The only thing I don't like about it is in my experience, 90% isolate Soy Protein tends to aerosol much more then…

well you haven't aded all of the recommendations

Also discovered I was SUBSTANTIALLY under the required amount of fat/oil in my diet. Modified olive oil up to match daily intake. May switch over to canola to minimize flavor.

Note to Self, Track down Choline supplement. Add Calcium to next batch. Consider adding Vitamin D to the batch.

Update:I have received WAY more response than i could have imagined. I was initially thinking of doing a handful of these a month, but i got over 45 people wanting to have their product re-shipped, many of which wanted a monthly subscription. So, sadly,…

So i have been wondering ever sens i started on the diy track; what kind of nutrition profile should we actually use? We could use our own countries recommendations. or chose one of the standards. But then i wonderd what the hell recommended of the…

Yep, you're right, something went wacky with FedEx. They are working on correcting it and we will update you in the next couple of days regarding the status! Thanks for your patience and sorry about this!

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…

Just putting comments here for managing my own records/experiences as I try a number of iterations on this. My initial recipes have been very loosely based off from https://diy.soylent.me/recipes/schmoylent and https://diy.soylent.me/recipes/js-soy-schmoylent…

Ana, FedEx may have lost my order. Tracking number set last Friday Sept 19th and was set to deliver to my place in Los Angeles on Saturday 20th... Never came. I'm a one week Backer

This is awesome news, thanks a lot for responding! I wasn't a first day customer so I'm just in my 18th week now, but hopefully that means I'm a month or less out.

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?

Praise the Sun! Oh, wait, wrong forum...

Quantitative differences please?

That's fair; "normal" is the wrong term to use and definitely implies something much more sinister than the reality. That said, the liver is a sort of catch-all and, even though it does a very good job at metabolizing things that the body cannot use…

I wouldn't recommend it... on the two restricted days, you should try to make most of your calories come from protein, to avoid muscle wasting. You want to minimize muscle and organ loss, so that the majority of your weight loss is in the form of fat.…

nwoll27 said: Fructose is a problem because the body has no normal mechanism to metabolize it or use it directly, and so it is left to the liver to metabolize and then stored, primarily, as liver fat, and which can lead to a whole other host of health…

Yeah, it's always a case of choosing the "least bad." Saccharin seems to be the worst, on many counts, of the artifical sweeteners, but you also have to remember that sugar comes with its own baggage full of bad. Sadly, some people prefer to think taking…

A DIY based on whole wheat flour and maltodextrin (instead of oat flour) will be a good base. Most DIY avoid wheat because many people cite gluten sensitivity, but it's otherwise perfectly usable. You'd need to use ground flax or flax oil instead of…

I seriously think you should try using regular Soylent and augmenting with your oil of choice. Fats are very good long-term hiking fuel, it's why oily nuts are excellent trail food. Each liquid ounce of oil adds 248 calories of slow-burning fuel to your…

Yes, it may be your stomach emptying prematurely and its acidic contents burning on the way out. http://www.wisegeekhealth.com/what-are-the-most-common-causes-of-burning-diarrhea.htm You might try a soluble fiber supplement such as Metamucil.

you can replace selection with Xanthan gum, or other(is usually not allergenic as it's driven byproduct from bacteria eating sugers) to make the liquid thicker and have cholinebiterate (2g=400mg choline). my two cents, hope it helps

I believe the problem was that the unsweetened version wasn't bland. They would have shipped that. But that it had a really off-putting bitterness. Eve

Good point, thanks. Yeah, I usually spend my 500 calories on a lot of veggies held together by some scrambled eggs and hot sauce, so it could be hard to switch.

I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about the increased risk for cancer with artificial sweeteners (such as Splenda). However, after some research, it seems this is actually somewhat of a myth -- the cancer risk is tied only to saccharin, not other…

yea it seams so, thats why it would be nice to know other lurking micro nutrients that can be hiding.

I've noticed that plant based proteins tend to have a hefty dose of iron. Just something to be aware of.

Personally I think I'd have to do the opposite of your proposal to make that diet work, since Soylent is sort of my go-to to replace the junk in my normal diet and without it I'd end up going overboard during the week, but that's neither here nor there.…

So, is anyone trying the 5:2 diet while on Soylent? 5:2 is the diet where you eat whatever you want (within reason) five days a week, then calorie-restrict the other two days. For women, fast days are 500 calories; for men, 600. I've been on 5:2 since…

I am thinking of making a trial batch or two of this in the next week. Have you had any other modifications to the recipe? What's the normal amount you are consuming, one two or three times a day? Have you tried it on a regular schedule or are you only…
