Another reason, beside water treatment, to consume warm Soylent is to keep it from freezing. I've been on winter trips where the time from boiling to freezing is short. I think I'm going to go with the official version of Soylent at work and try a DIY…

I think we're 20 weeks out for non-backer orders now, which puts us right in the middle of the 18-22 week range (original 10-12 plus additional 8-10) that we're all sitting in. Any chance we can get an update at this point if that range still looks possible?

MattCauble said: I was trying to make the most efficient powdered food possible in terms of total mass Do you still have what the information on how far you got? I'm a bit more willing to sacrifice on taste. MattCauble said:

I'd personally like to see an unsweetened/unflavored variety with optional flavor packs, so that people can mix and match their own. Their decision to go with a sweetened and flavored variety makes a ton of sense from a logistical standpoint, though.…

Apparently, Soylent without sugar is too bitter. I wonder. I don't like sweet things so I might prefer it without sugar at all. No honey. No healthy sugars. No artificial sweeteners. This may be the best way to go?

Been casually reading up on this, and I think I may try it soon (I'll start with one of the small places that is actually shipping, then maybe work my way to DIY if I like it. I think I'd try to replace most of my meals with it, maybe as 100% of my food…

Any word on how this tastes? I like the nutrition, but I don't want to buy $300 worth of raw ingredients for it to taste bad.

How do you divide up a days worth? I got my grams all figured out. Do I just mix it all up together and guess to get thirds? True if I drink it all in a day I get all my nutrients, but there seems like there should be a better way. What do you say reddit?

Hi ! I live in Baden and I have been consuming my DIY for 3 months now (breakfast and lunch, 5 days a week). But I only speak french and english... I would be happy to answer your questions.

TrueNutrition has an app that you might find useful. This post on their forum describes using linear algebra to calculate optimal ratios of protein sources. I'd love to see this functionality incorporated into Soylent's DIY app, especially considering…

Hi, I live in Basel and I am having my DIY soylent for breakfast and lunch since 5 months. I will be happy to help you. Feel free to contact me!

Hi Nino. I replied to your mail (from nino [at] joylent [dot] eu) on September 18th 18:48 (GMT+1). I have not recieved any reply. Anyway, thanks for resending, and make sure it goes to the correct country this time.

Hi all, I've spent the last half hour doing some linear algebra to figure out which blend of vegan proteins has the greatest PDCAAS score, as laid out by the 2005 PDCAAS* specification, in search of the ultimate vegan protein. I've so far looked at blends…

Hi Ari, We allways try to answer within 48-hours, if this hasnt been the case with you i apologize. i asked my collegue about your order and he is currently handling it. I will send you a new package and i will include a few days for the inconvenience.

We are not selling Soylent?

Don't forget, you can also add flavors! There's a topic around here somewhere with lots of suggestions.

2 people want to use it, one payment source. How do I do this? 2 accounts and just pay with the same card?

I ended up buying four pitchers and eight blender bottles (also glass), so I run my dishwasher every four days. (It's more energy- and water-efficient than running hot water in the sink to handwash them daily, and I already have the dishwasher.)

I haven't looked too much into the specifics of how each amino acid affects the body. But I did put together my own amino acid profile calculator along with links to where to buy the raw amino acids. I was trying to make the most efficient powdered food…

Whereas my order from August 14th is still not here. I got a mail saying it was finally being shipped, the extra delay being because they had trouble shipping to Norway. This was evident, as when I checked the tracking page, my package was being shipped…

Yes I've tried this recipe and it's quite tasty... Unfortunately I missed where LoanRanger said he was allergic to corn. The mesa could kill him if the allergy is bad enough.

So, I found this guide to amino acid RDA values. Has anybody actually looked into the amino acid profile of their protein beyond "complete"? I'm curious about trying to see how different levels of each amino acid works, or making sure that I'm actually…

Well, after a full day of Soylent and 1 banana the gas is back! Like a loyal dog. It's not as poignant as normal, but I think I can chalk that up to only 2 days of Soylent intake.Wish I could figure this sucker out without spending money on some kind…

I decided to try Schmoylent for the nutritional convenience. I love cooking and I want to expand my palate, but I prefer to not take time out while I'm working, so I'm still eating at least one "traditional" meal a day. Anyway, I've loved it but I wanted…

It's advisable to keep chewing, it does indeed help keep the teeth healthy and the jaw strong. That said, even if you're just eating a couple of meals a week it should be sufficient to maintain your oral health, if you prefer to go 100% Soylent you should…

Have you tried it? I would be a little concerned about the taste, a tbsp or two of cacao could go a long way toward enhancing the experience, and may also eliminate the need for the iron supplement. Looks like it may be a nice start for him, but I would…

Supposedly in the next couple weeks they will have 100% of all backer order shipments sent. With that said, i have a Month's backer order that i have not heard anything on. Furthermore, i emailed them recently and they, of course, told me that they cannot…

I found this website that gives a ton of information on potassium and sodium and their subsequent relationship in our bodies. There are different articles with great info, look to the right of the page. http://healthyeating.sfgate.com/potassium-sodium-related-hearts-contraction-9102.html

Oh, and there's a lot of support for the idea that the extra fish oil is a really healthy add-on, and you'd need to take quite a lot to run the risk of affecting your blood and increasing your clotting time. If your fish oil comes in one capsule, you…

Haha just because we are hoping for the best doesn't mean that we have not at all planned for the worst! Seems a lot easier to me to ask the community for help and be thankful for their follow-through / goodwill instead of coming down hard on everyone…

I don't think you should have any concern at all about taking a multivitamin in addition to your soylent, even on days where you have it for all meals. You can debate whether it adds value, but you should have no concern. Bear in mind that multivitamins…

Uuum, I am not a medical doctor. Dr. Oz is. Did I every say his word was final? No, I did not. As far as I was aware, this was a discussion board about these matters. Dr. Oz had something to say about it so I posted it. If you are fed up with my thread…

The best way to add calories for backpacking is to add extra canola oil. You're getting the nutrients in your soylent, and oil provides a lightweight and calorie - dense addition. You can't do better in calories per pound carried. Also, I have not tested…

I don't mean to split hairs, but RDA's are not based on what is in our diets. They are based on the levels we find necessary to avoid disease states. If studies find that we're healthier if we consume more than the naturally occurring levels of something,…

That has a proteolytic enzyme. Breaks down longer proteins into shorter proteins to make them more easily digestible. It may break down some of the proteins in the masa harina, but will not break down the carbs.

I'm trying the People Chow recipe...almost. I found an amazing deal on bulk 100% Whey Protein, so I'm using that instead of whey isolate. I compensated the amount to add based on the difference in grams of protein per scoop; are there any other differences…

Someone I was discussing Soylent with raised a concern; what kind of effects on oral health would a liquid diet have over "normal" food? The concern specifically was, since you don't have to chew Soylent, that the teeth and gums won't be as supportive…

It feels squeaky clean. With plastic, the oil would cling on, and soap is needed to get it 'squeaky' clean.

In the field I work in, the saying is "Hope for the best, plan for the worst" We can assume, hope and rely on the good will of people all day long, but at the end of the day, it's the planning and logistics that matter.

I wasn't referring to nature, the place that bananas (but not peaches ) come from, but rather Nature, the reputable science journal. Sorry for the confusion. I agree with you that a knee-jerk rejection of any substance perceived to be "a chemical not…

It's easier to assume the best of people. If you get that, then life is reasonably pleasant and you can accomplish things. If you don't get that, then there's always Plan B. Eve

" but have decided to rely on the good will of humans and the personal ethics of our customer base" ..... oh boy. Just goes to show how naive Rosa Labs was going into this whole thing. Can't believe that came from the marketing person

Thank you Horsfield!

@MattCauble @JulioMiles The same thing happened to me last week. I received two weeks, and one of them was missing the oil bottles. I emailed the help@soylent.me address on Thursday, but haven't heard back.

The official email is info@soylent.me.

One consequnece of low potassium is if you don 't get enough you can have a heart attack. That is the worst danger. Potassium has a great deal of effect on muscles and the heart is a muscle. It is also an electrolyte, which means it has a part in almost…

TOO BAD SUCKER----YOUR MONEY is BEING SPENT BY THESES PUNKS-----FEED the CRAP to your PIGS----THEY MAY TOLERATE IT!!!!!

Where do international crowd-funded orders stand in that timeline? Or are they still off the horizon?

Can anyone tell me where all of the iron comes from? The only masa I've been able to get equals about 4 mg or about 22%. What am I forgetting?

Hola, soy un chico de Castellon (Valencia) estoy interensadisimo en este producto, por favor mantenedme al dia de como y cuando se puede consegir Soylent. gracias.

The Fish oil is probably fine at full dose. I've gotten some good benefits from an extra 25% of the oil, and I'm not aware of any toxically high levels of it.

What is the email address that these notifications will be from? @MattCauble

Hmm, I didn't think about cutting up the pill. That makes sense and definitely possible for the multivitamin. The Fish Oil pill wouldn't work. Of course some things in this multivitamin are ALREADY over 100% of the daily RDA which complicates things a…

You are no longer allowed to sell Soylent from the forums. Sorry.

If you're from the UK and want Soylent.. it's now on Ebay with free shipping. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Soylent-Food-5-days-worth-from-UK-FREE-SHIPPING-/231341029064?

Thanks for confirming, I couldn't find anything locally. Cheers.

How does this one look? LoanRanger Fule I currently have the recipe marked as privet. Hopefully you can still see it. If not let me know.

If you are not a backer, your subscription will ship out when we start sending out subscriptions to non-backers. It should be very soon based on the amount we are scaling up. Thank you.

Sure, I'm not a backer.I'll just reply to your last reply in the PM to bring it to the front.

That is the masa im using but it doesnt really matter which one. And yes thats the almond meal i got but again theyre all the same

I would have agreed with you before day five. The first few days is a bit taxing, but I'm used to being extremely tired and just generally feeling like shit (undiagnosed medical problems, I assume). But then something clicked around day 4 or 5. I woke…

I'm not an expert, but personally, if you are going to take a multivitamin alongside partial Soylent, I would at least limit the multivitamin according to how much Soylent you have. 2/3 Soylent means you're getting 2/3 of the RDA of pretty much everything.…

Canola oil has a significant amount of omega 9 fatty acids. Its mostly omega 9, actually. So that's probably where you're seeing the calorie difference from. davidshq said: I take these supplements as a natural supplement to my medication for depression…

I wish I was in Switzerland! I miss it dearly.

Are you planning on eating Indian food as well or just Soylent?

Hi @FreezeFS, can you please PM this information? I found your subscription in our system and you were charged on May 14 but have not been charged since then according to our records. I also don't see that you were a backer. Can you please provide this…

As was mentioned earlier this study gave the sweetener in the absence of any caloric intake. While this may be significant for someone living solely on diet soda the results may be different when an artificial sweetener is used as a substitute for glucose…

I don't know where you got your information, j80488188, but there are 60 mg of sucralose in one 12oz can of PepsiOne (see http://static.diabetesselfmanagement.com/pdfs/DSM0310_012.pdf), and 60 mg in one day supply of Soylent (see http://blog.soylent.me/post/73232819517/there-is-more-to-food-than-nutrition-even-a).…

How long does it take to get a shipping label? I was charged for my subscription May 14, 2014, and on September 8 (14 days ago), you (@MattCauble) told me my order was slated for shipping "tomorrow". I've received nothing since then, no e-mail and not…

Well, IDK anything about distribution. That's a bit of a longer-term thing, too, that RL will be able to iron out with experience. More subscription options come to mind, though. Also see nwoll27's post above this one. I've already posted earlier, about…

Beer may or may not be a determining factor for my preference haha

davecortesi said: If you were CEO of Rosa Labs, how would you look to improve distribution, and what kinds of new formulations would you want to see tried? That's a really difficult question to answer, about distribution, because they are privy to…

I haven't been on a 5+ day trip in a few years, myself. And I really miss going canoeing for days in Algonquin Park (I've moved) - packing isn't much of an issue in a canoe. Even have room for beer!

smeggot said: I'd much rather they focus on improving and expanding things on the production/distribution side, and formulations Thank you! This is a reply in line with the kind of brainstorming I hoped this thread would inspire! Now, can you be more…

Just wondering, is it wise to take an additional multivitamin on days your meals are not 100% soylent? My original plan was to take one 1-A-Day Men's Multivitamin and one Omega-3 Fish Oil vitamins on days where only one or two of my meals consisted…

Thanks @smeggot! I suspected as much but have never actually gone in on a longer backpacking trip. Anything more than three days and I prefer a kayak or canoe and maybe a friendly current

I'd like to clarify, is this: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0000IJYK4?tag=19-82341-20 the masa you used? It's the one I assume you were talking about (of Max's people chow), but I want to make sure. And there is a link to this http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000EDG598?tag=19-82341-20…

Most backpackers run a deficit; the longer the trek/duration, the higher the deficit. A short trip (up to, say, 4 days) then we're talking about even. Many (myself included) eat like a pig the day before leaving or at least for my last meal before leaving.…

If all-natural-sweeteners are a valid goal, then honey is a valid option. A friend just gave me some freeze-dried-to-powder honey. It is very tasty and as a powder would co-exist with all soylent (small s) powders quite well. However it's still a sugar.…

I'm honestly not worried about Soylent's non-food products. Pitchers and the like are things everyone can buy separately; that stuff is secondary (at best) to the ideal of Soylent. I'd much rather they focus on improving and expanding things on the production/distribution…

The novel part of this study, though, is the discovery of a potential mechanism - gut flora - as that hadn't been known before. We know for a fact that your body reacts to the taste of sweet, but how those reactions translate into dysfunction or harm…
