Got it. Right now I take in addition to the Soylent two packets of Coromega Omega3 Squeeze. Each packet is 2.5 mg, I was hoping to see how this translated into ml, since that is what the oil bottle is measured in, but apparently that doesn't really work...…

If you have a dishwasher disassemble and throw in

Glad to be of service. I really believe it is better to have real foods as opposed to vitamins. Not that we could never create a perfect artificial food but as of now, while we know a lot, there is so much we don't. I think its better to use the natural…

The green handle and upper section should also unscrew from the clear container Your hand should have no problem fitting. I also have big hands and got hung up on this at first. Edit: I also find is easier to mix with my immersion blender if I leave…

@casssax Yea Apple goofed. They said they will be releasing a patch soon.

@ravenvii Just because you can't see it doesn't mean there isn't a thin residue of soylent on the pitcher.

@MentalNomad and @FNFollies I use this for my whey protein.

Did you actually come up with a recipe? I'm looking for a keto lady friendly version that doesn't contain soy or mct (i prefer coconut oil to mct)

Hi everyone! I'm a Swiss journalist working on an article on Soylent and would love to talk to someone who either is using or has used Soylent. Is there anyone out there? Thanks in advance!

OK, I can get my hand in, but it is a knuckle-scraping squeeze. FWIW when I buy gloves I have to get the XL size. But just another centimeter diameter would make a big difference. 2014-09-22 08.08.31.jpg2448x3264 1.34 MB 2014-09-22 08.08.31.jpg2448x3264…

I got some extra bottles from someone who ordered vegan, but received the oil bottles anyways. Once it runs out, I'll have to make my own mix. Supposedly its not very complicated beyond canola oil + fish oil. But I don't have to deal with that until…

@Mushrooshi - @Tesseract said it better than I could. We realized long ago that with both our refund and reorder policies people have the opportunity to exploit for their own gain, but have decided to rely on the good will of humans and the personal…

Are you somehow acquiring extra bottles of oil from Soylent or are you making your own mix? If your own mix, would you mind sharing?

If you can put together a palatable DIY with a much higher calorie density that will probably be your best bet. I think Soylent would be amazing for a one or two day trip with a light pack and short-moderate distance, especially if you can get a nice…

You're quoting Dr Oz? Really!!! OK, you've lost whatever credibility you might have had with me. Eve

Thanks for the fast and informative reply. I think I'll use my official version of Soylent for Monday through Friday work week and switch to a DIY for the trail to meet my caloric needs.

That's correct. I've been adding additional oil on top of the standard amount. The energy increase may be unique to my personal needs, though.

Pardon me if I'm repeating what other people are saying, since I've not read all of the comments, but as far as I know this mechanism of artificial sweeteners has been observed for at least the better part of a decade. If you trick the body into thinking…

How is this recipe working out for you? Looks super simple to make.

Here's what I find with this recipe. I have tried it a few times and the major problem I am noticing is the heart burn. The reason for this is the cocoa powder + oats. Cocoa powder relaxes the muscle which controls the valve to your stomach making…

They may be a wholesaler but I had no difficulty ordering protein powder from them by email. Even in smaller quantities.

Has anyone tried mixing this with coffee instead of water? I'm trying to think of ways to NOT feel like I'm drinking tortilla chips.

I've been drinking Soylent 1.0 for about a month now, and I have successfully replaced about 90% of my meals, but sometimes its hard to get another cup. So last night I was sipping my dinner when it hit. I was bored hungry. The kind of hungry that led…

I'm not particularly worried about the sucralose. My diet pre-Soylent was probably poor enough that any damage sucralose could potentially do is minimal in comparison...not that my diet was horrible... That said, I do think stevia or honey could be good…

When you say you increased the oil - do you mean beyond the standard measurement? I've been using one bottle per pouch, which I believe is what the instructions call for...?

I'm hoping what's next is they refine the formula to be even healthier, and give details about the glycemic index.

I haven't received my first shipment of official Soylent yet (but I have received an address confirmation -- so should receive it soon!), but I was wondering if anyone knew their policy on upping the quantity for a re-order. I ordered 1 week initially,…

Whenever I eat a food that causes me bad gas for example eggs or red meat etc, it generally takes 24 to 48 hours to kick in. I'm guessing your fast would explain your lack of gas. Keep us updated on what happens tomorrow...

Luckily, if you stay with the same email address, there's apparently no problem with stopping and restarting--no new delays.

If you're eating that much cinnamon every day, take care. Most cinnamon in the U.S. has high amounts of coumarin, a compound that, if eaten in quantity regularly, may be "moderately toxic to the liver and kidneys." What quantity? One teaspoon of cassia…

Tried People Chow from thebairs for the first time. It was, without a doubt, the most vile thing I have ever tasted. I like the idea of soylent, but this stuff is inedible. No way it will replace food if it tastes so bad.

Glycemic load will also be impacted by fiber and the presence of macronutrients, modifying the total impact of the metabolized carbs. The idea being that it will take longer to fully digest the carbs in something like Soylent than in isolation - eating…

Hi folks, I have just started consuming my second month's worth of the official Soylent. Throughout the first month I had some pretty extended and noxious gas. It was ...not great. However today was pleasantly abnormal, allow me to elaborate. I did…

Hey there, As the title state, I want to make my own Soylent, and I think I found a recipe that suits me on the DIY wiki. With that said, I had some worries about it. [Here's my version's nutrient content.](http://i.imgur.com/oOJRGq8.png) It includes…

There's a lot of iron in there

I'm @Ask_the_Dietitian over on the powdered foods forum and I wanted to chime in a little on this thread to clarify some points. @horsfield if you link me to the product you're using for whey I'll take a look at what enzymes they're using but from I've…

If you intend to update it frequently, I'd enjoy it as a separate topic. But if this will only be for "first reactions", then carry on, as you were.

As weird as it may be, my energy drastically increased when I increased the oil in my Soylent. I felt like crap for a small period of time, but since then I've had more energy than I've had in years.

Instead of sucralose, why not stevia? That one is more "natural" isn't it? I'm assuming they don't want to go with straight sugar because then you are adding calories and instead of 2500 calories or so per day, it would be closer to 3000...

Seeing as this doesn't seem to have been answered, for all three previous comments, currently the only method of changing your subscription is to cancel and restart your subscription. This is also the only known way to "pause" your subscription as well.

O_O I'm so sorry. I've been very busy lately, and did not realize how long I've been letting this project languish. I've made some progress on it, though. So hopefully I can find time, here and there, to get it to a usable state soon. So don't worry,…

Interesting; that recipe is pretty simple. I'll edit this with the multivitamin I use in a bit, but I'm curious as to how good it actually is. I did make a slight modification to the recipe though; added about 1 Tsp of Ground Cinnamon, and 1 Tbps of…

I love the inspiration here. I've been working on another recipe with perishable ingredients to get over the anxiety of just combining a bunch of purified vitamins and minerals with carbs and protein... It's a work in progress and I'll definitely steal…

So I've tried Joylent and Aussie Soylent now. If you buy Joylent in large quantities it works out pretty cheap but tit for tat Aussie soylent is currently cheaper for their 5day pack vs the 15 meal pack from Joylent. This is because they have a flat fee…

Sold to ravenvii, sorry Noam, they had PM'ed and payed first.

Yeah, I avoid ebay/paypal whenever possible. Horrible company ... High fees.

That's a generous way to pass it on, since you have an eBay account and could sell it there. Someone (Noam, I guess) will be very happy!

contact me @ xxxxxxxxxDo you know how to initiate a PM? Can't figure it out. I know how to reply.Email me jdzz13@hotmail.com

I'm located in Houston and would be happy to take them off your hands. Please PM me. Noam

I ordered back in June, and am just now getting an order confirmation email from Soylent because it's finally shipping soon (yay!) However, it's from an email address I've never seen from Soylent before, and has a link to a qualtrics "survey" to change…

Mostly, at this point, I just want *something*. You shipping anything soon?

I just received my backer order, and I no longer need/want it.I tried one pouch., so I have 13 days worth to sell. ** SOLD SOLD ** It includes Soylent Oil Blend. I have excellent feedback under Heatware.com (okashira) and ebay (jdawn11)contact: jdzz13@hotmail.com$115…

Oh, that's make the work much easier. Not only in production, but in explanation. Thanks for good article! I will share it with colleagues on Powdered Foods Marketplace.

Shipping calculators by UPS & USPS are added.Sellers are able to offer Free, Paid and Discounted shipping for products. What is discounted?Since international shipments are rather costly and cannot be offered for free,we made an opportunity to share…

The Frigoverre 77-oz glass pitcher is squat and squarish, to fit easily on a shelf instead of in the door, so it doesn't look at all like the Takeya. But really, it's great, and I think the squarish shape, besides making it more space-efficient on the…

Thank you all for letting me know about this. I'm going to request a sample from RFI to run sensory on. If something seems off I'm going to send it to a lab. The last few times we have run a blind test we couldn't find a difference. I'm not saying it's…

Has anyone tried to make Soylent or Joylent with milk instead of water? Was it a success?

Soylent is better chilled.But there're some DIY-blends that supposed for hot consuming.Most popular - Chocolate blend if you fill it with hot water, milk or instant coffee.There are some soup versions also, check Powdered Foods Marketplace for alternatives.

I travelled with bottles of 100%FOOD in my backpack through USA-Russia-Spain-Netherlands-USA.No problems with customs (except curiosity). And regular shipments to many countries justify that soylent is a "customs friendly" product.

Flavor packs: little packets of specific flavors you purchase separately and add when mixing. Natural flavors will change your nutrients profile (calories, vitamins, etc.) Artificial flavors don't, but they are chemicals What do you prefer?

I'd like a way to change subscriptions as well, what if I decide I want to eat more actual food one month? I'm stuck with 28 days no matter what?

A pitcher that looks exactly like the Takeya pitcher... but glass. That'd be the dream. You couldn't believe how much easier it is to wash glass than plastic. With glass you don't even need soap -- it just washes off, just like that.

That's only a month. Looks like Joylent is reaching Soylent levels of productivity.

I would be surprised if it was an allergy. I don't have any reaction to the consumption of Soylent nor do I have any known allergies. It really is as the OP says, a feeling of passing VERY spicy food. I don't know much about biology but I do digest…

Interesting, I'd not heard of them. But the biggest capacity I see at blenderbottle.com is 32oz, not big enough for a full packet of soylent which needs 64. But the "patented BlenderBall(tm)" is cute, I can certainly see Rosa teaming up with blenderbottle…

BlenderBottles have become popular and I think they'd do well to incorporate similar into the starter kit as well as a better shaped pitcher (which I retired when I got this monster 2L thermos). Also helpful would be to use oil bottles with a semi-opaque…

Took some to Ecuador in my Carry on. TSA here and customs there never blinked. I live in Arizona so it's always hot. But I guess you are asking about living in un air conditioned environment. So I can't answer what would happen to the oil in extreme…

Tagging @Leecauble who I believe has taken Soylent out of the country.

It's being discussed here http://discourse.soylent.me/t/soylent-health-tracker-app/16161

I am going to the Dominican for a trip to install a few hundred water filters for poor villages that don't have drinking water. I want to ensure I don't get any food issues so a few things: 1) Has anyone taken this stuff through customs2) Any issues…

I'll estimate Christmas day. EDIT: multiple people have said Christmas. I will adjust to a week before Christmas.

I could break up the pack or ship the whole thing out, or should I just try ebay? Thanks!

Does anyone drink/use their Soylent hot? I often boil my water for treatment because either the weather is cold or I want my morning tea or coffee. A 2000 calorie packet doesn't come close to the calorie requirements of backpacking. How many packets…

Also, I'm very impressed with Bulk Powders. I ordered over £49 so the order came the next day. And they texted me multiple times to let me know exactly when it was going to reach my door. Feel free to use my discount code if you want to save £5 - GW191653

Looks like there's hope! I mixed the pancaky one with some Nesquick as @AgentSpiff had suggested and added 1 teaspoon of honey on top and it is now actually a little bit delicious. Will try it with banana as well when I get the next pack.

You might not think it as stylish but I love my Frigoverre glass pitcher--it's not plastic, it's perfectly watertight, and it's easy to wash (though to wash the lid thoroughly you should take it apart when you do).

To date, that's how they've been advising people to handle it. When you reorder/resubscribe, using your existing email address, they'll treat you as a current rather than new customer.

You'll probably find Soylent too sweet, but the unsweetened dark cocoa trick seems to work for a lot of people with that reaction. Sadly, I like sweets, so it's fine for me, but even I notice the sweetness.

Agreed, if this were a relatively common occurrence it would be all over this board, not just a couple of reports in this topic. I wonder if you're having an allergic reaction to something in the Soylent.

You can try DIY-type soylents that other people make for you from @axcho, @spaceman, or a number of other sellers at the www.powderedfoods.com marketplace. None of them are exactly like Soylent, but they are good small-s soylent options, and you can…

1 days worth is about 4 american cups of powder. I split in to 4 servings of about 1 cup each. Put into a 28 oz "BlenderBottle" and depending on my mood fill to anywhere between the 16 oz mark on up to the top. Really it comes down to personal preference…

You caould add just a bit of a fiber supplement like metamucil, benefiber, or psyllium husks. A gram is a small amount and should not be very noticable in a whole days worth. You could also look at others in the variants tab and see what they have come…

[Main Soylent page](http://www.soylent.me/) Do I need to go back to Kickstarter to re-order, or will they recognize my payment info/address when I fill it out again? I don't want to get caught in the "2-3 month" queue for new orders. Thanks!

I'm on my 4th week of 50% Soylent, which pretty much makes me an old hand at this, and I've been speculating on what Rosa Labs might, or could, or really ought to do as they develop the product further. Here are some ideas that occurred to me; I hope…

I'm trying the [People Chow](http://diy.soylent.me/recipes/people-chow-301-tortilla-perfection) recipe on a 2500 calorie diet. Should I just scale up each ingredient by the same percentage to maintain all nutrient ratios? Edit: Thanks for the answers…

Yup. "Large quantities of purines in the diet create an abundance of uric acid, which has been associated with several ailments, including gout." I am a poster child. Both brewers and nutritional yeast are sources of minerals that seem to be more common…

Thanks all. Really don't know what that was about, but this morning I tried a new bag (prepared last night in a carefully cleaned pitcher) in a clean glass. It also tastes slightly weird... but nowhere near as "off" as the last. I did also just get…

Is there any update on how to pause my subscription? Or must I cancel and resubscribe later?

Gonna necro this thread here, but the alternative was to create my own new one so I'll go with that. Hi! I'm qgroff, a day one backer. I ordered one week at first then a second week 10 days later. I got my Soylent today (only got one week, so I've…

The other thread covers this better, but the new information just explains some of the mechanism, and further confirms, an already known effect- consuming very large amounts of artificial sweetener in zero- or low-calorie foods causes glucose intolerance.…

I am quite looking forward to this. My fiancee and I ordered a 4 week supply each on May 31st.
