I agree with MentalNomad. Just because you and your friend are not vegan doesn't mean he/she wasn't quoting them without realizing it. People do it all the time. Thats how many mythes of all kinds get perpetuated.

Has anyone tried doing this for the added benefit of Anti-oxidants??The capsules add only 5 calories and are about $24 per month. Just wondering if anyone has done this. I am still waiting for my Soylent, ordered in June, hoping for January.

Actually the olive oil is healthier than Canola and if he adds the fish and flaxseed oils like I suggest the ratio should be much healthier.

Remember the DIY soylent has no preservatives and letting it sit, even in the fridge, for extended periods isn't a great idea. After about 48ish hours I've noticed a hiss when I open the container and if I look closely enough I can see little bubbles…

I've had good experience with Maseca. Keep in mind that any kind of flour is not going to be water salable. You do eventually get used to the grittiness and don't notice it after a while. Always shake/swirl your soylent before pouring into a glass and…

@JulioMiles @MattCauble I am seeing my next billing date as Jan 2015 also for a month supply subscription. I ordered in May however. Is something wrong? Thanks for your help.

I agree that she should not double up on vitamin supplements - however, if that doesn't work - (I can't believe I am posting this)I've been doing the 100%FOOD diy soylent for 5 weeks now. It didn't take long before I noticed a pleasant scent there.…

I I think I think they stalled again. I'm a one week backer too.... All the activity I see are reorders or mess ups, but I don't see any one Weekes really get theirs yet...

Hey Baard, Hoe verwerkt jij de lijnzaad? Ik heb gezien dat je poedertjes kan kopen maar ze hebben het dan altijd over "Gekiemd lijnzaad poeder". Ik vroeg me af of je gewoon losse lijnzaad koopt of deze zelf verwerkt. keep up the great job!

Thanks Matt! @MattCauble

Thanks for kind words,We're in beta yet, so if you find a bug - pls. post it here.

Haven't had a chance to dig deeper but it seems like a big improvement...I like it front end too...GUI is more professional imho.... http://www.powderedfoods.com/#!marketplace/c1p9k

Who can forget Charleton Heston, in the classic 1973 film “Soylent Green,” screaming as he's led off to his own death, “Soylent Green is people!” He's referring to what, in the movie, is the most popular processed food in the world, the “soylent green”…

An agenda? Really? I supported Soylent on Kickstarter! I wanted this to work for me. You tell me; why do I get headaches? Why do I get dizzy? Why do I feel lethargic? Why do I get numbness in my arms and hands right after I take Soylent? .... and then,…

It single-handedly accounts for the majority of the carbohydrates and 40% of the calories. Look at the Recipe Editor tab if you want to see the specific nutrition it contributes. If you don't want to use corn I would recommend looking at some of the oat…

Yes, I agree with you that deficit between intake and calorie spent is the first step.But I want to go deeper. We have a speed of loosing weight and we have a "yo-yo" effect when the weight gets back...

It was concluded that though maltodextrins appeared to be significantly less acidogenic than 10% sucrose, they can lead to a substantial drop in plaque pH and may, therefore, have a potential to cause demineralisation of enamel. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0300571201000343

@MattCauble by any chance do you know if my subscription is scheduled to ship today? I'm also close to running out. Note: I have two active two-week subscriptions, and am referring to the one that was billed on 8/25.

Thanks for the info. Hopefully it ships soon!

I believe they are just starting to ship one week backer orders so it shouldn't be too much longer but maybe someone else has a better idea than I do. You can check the unofficial shipment tracker to get an idea of what's going on. http://diy.soylent.me/shipment-tracker

Your subscription is scheduled to ship out today. You should receive it by Thursday.

It is quite satiating if you drink 1 cup. You won't get hungry again a short time later like when eating a candy bar.

Noch kurz was Organisatorisches: Wie ihr merkt, schreibe ich hier recht viel in den Kommentaren. Es geht vorrangig darum, dass ich hier meine Gedanken niederschreibe, was das Planen betrifft. Ich würde mich sehr freuen, Feedback von eventuell Erfahrerenen…

Okay, ich habe es jetzt mal hinzugefügt, jedoch habe ich aus Preis/Liefergründen eine Mischung von Maltodextrin und Fruchtzucker bevorzugt. Vorallem, da ich den Geschamack noch nicht kenne und beurteilen kann, werde ich es wohl erstmal so lassen, da Fruchtzucker…

Ich bin derzeit noch am überlegen, ob so viel Maltodextrin wirklich sinnvoll ist, da es ja einen recht hohen glykämischer Index hat. Eine Überlegung wäre es, eine Mischung aus Fruchtzucker und Maltodextrin zu nehmen, da Fruchtzucker einen GI von ~25-30…

I ordered 1 weeks worth on 6/15/13.

They aren't sending out the address confirmations in order so I believe that there will be various answers to your question. How much Soylent did you order and when did you order it? That will give you a better idea of when it's coming.

I received an email on 8/18 asking me to confirm my shipping address and that my soylent would be shipping in the next several weeks. It's been a month since then and after that i haven't heard anything else. Just curious how long it took other people…

Hi Frelon @frelon , I've just run your order number through our system and I have seen that the delivery was unsuccessful, meaning there was an attempt to bring the package home to you. Can you send me an email at pablo@joylent.eu with your correct…

Hi @NinoJoylent, @PenaAbellan @Koningsbruggen As written in a previous post, I still have no news of my Order #1222 of 76€ paid more than one month ago (11th of August). No shipment followup provided, no answer to my emails or messages on joylent.eu,…

There is another thread on this subject.

What's the nutritional purpose of the blue corn masa? It has always been my understanding (and please correct me if it doesn't apply here) that corn does not have real nutritional value. We've been playing with flavors and it seems the masa is the cause…

I received tracking info yesterday for an order placed Aug 28th, if that helps.

Recently I was asked what inspired me to get with Soylent, here's my response, Tyranny of fuel for my health. When I try to eat healthy I spend too much time wading through ingredients I don't like, then planning things that I can fall into when I'm…

JustinG said: I got an email from him on the 11th saying he was sick all last week and my order would go out early this week. Haven't heard since. Hopefully he's ok - but I would like an update as well I heard the ingredients he was using caused him…

I received my Soylent and am now on week 2, I will be out of Soylent by Sunday. I put in a subscription but just want to verify when/if it will ship to continue using soylent daily for a bit. @MattCauble @JulioMiles

I got an email from him on the 11th saying he was sick all last week and my order would go out early this week. Haven't heard since. Hopefully he's ok - but I would like an update as well

Any word on this, if not I will buy my own when I start Soylent month 1 in October

Paging axcho..Trying to reach you....

I thought I read somewhere that an entire day's worth of Soylent is 2,500 calories, but at the top of this thread, it said the day's amount is worth 2,000 calories. Which figure is absolutely correct? Edit: oh wait, this says that it's worth 2,010 calories.…

Hey, I'm from the UK and I have 5 days worth of Soylent (without oil) here to sell to anyone that lives in the UK. Let me know if you're interested - I'm not planning on selling it for the ridiculous prices that appear on Ebay. Cheers

I asked above but not sure if he checks the forums... Hard to tell exactly but I would guess it's a housing development? But I don't really get to that side of Melbourne very often so I am not sure. I figured I'd try the sample pack - even made in a house…

The idea comes from this interesting article on the NYT:http://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/14/opinion/sunday/should-we-all-take-a-bit-of-lithium.html Is adding small amounts of lithium to Soylent conceivable in your opinion?

opethbass said: Saturation: One cup saturates for two hours. Properties are OK. What does this mean? opethbass said:

Is this packaged in an approved facility or from someones garage?

I'd like to give a short Review, as well: Shipping: It needed a few weeks bebause of an error. But it arrived and support was good. Packaging: The powder is in simple zip bags, which are not very airtight and are not vapour sealed. The oil is stored…

After 2 days in, you go from excitedly testing Soylent to a Meghan Telpner acolyte? Really? Every post since then has been anti-Soylent. I thought you were keeping an open mind? No offense to @Spaceman, but I get the impression that his posts have less…

I ordered on Monday and got it Tuesday morning - so the shipping is quick! Haven't tried it yet as I already had 2L mixed up.

@axcho published this recipe which is staggeringly simple and, except for the specific multivitamin that you might have to order, no problem from any grocery store. Other than the vitamin it's just oat flour, whole milk and iodized salt, and while it's…

You might want to look at one of the instant porridges to up carbs and save time eg morvite, pronutro (gmo alert!)

Just ordered myself a sample pack of Aussie Soylent. Pretty excited. I ended up having to cancel my Joylent (Netherlands) order and get a refund, because they couldn't answer any of my questions about how long it might take to get to me. Ah well. They…

not sure zinc levels are accurate, given levels in supplements; since I'm deficient in zinc, I'm not too concerned as it may well be an absorption problem, in which case excess is excreted. ditto folic acid. Vit K, choline etc I'm pretty sure I get enough…

Do you have a photo of this? I would be interested in seeing it.

so I have been drinking people chow for a little over a month now. just using it for 1 meal a day. my goal was to save money on lunches and have a controlled portion of calories for one meal. that's it. overall my experience is good with it but i'm getting…

Hi Brad, Few notes on the recipe: Most importantly your recipe exceeds upper daily safe limit of manganese, though manganese excess is not understood fully. You made a mistake on pantothenic acid amount in the mens multi-vitamin. Should be 14 not…

I don't think Clary Sage oil is meant to be a major far source in food. It sounds like an aromatherapy oil.

I apologize if this is off-topic, but every time I look at this thread's title, I think "The snozzberries taste like snozzberries!"

You should read the first sentence of this thread, if you suspect any misunderstanding. You might also want to read the article, if you've confused an opinion article for the research it references. You could also bring up any scientific evidence that…

Update The soylent didn't seem to have any chunks when I got it out to drink it; at which point it had been sitting for almost 24 hours. I shook it anyways and I cannot tell any difference in flavor or texture. Interestingly, it also seemed like the…

Love the cat photobomb. 😻

Thanks for sharing, Neebs! I don't mind the level of pep.

I'm not using the vitamin powder in my soylents any more. Everything tastes better without it. I take the vitamin powder separately with water and shoot it. When I've used up my powder, I'll go back to the tablet version.

frank_crook said: your body functions better with lithium than it does without, as evidenced by the crime and suicide data in the research cited by the NYTimes article. Be careful about the strength of your opinion versus the strength of your evidence…

New video, and update, sorry I still haven't got that pep

You can't compare these without knowing how much of a calorie deficit it is for each user. That is, how many calories do they need per day, and how many are the consuming in soylent. Calories needed minus calories consumed is the deficit. Without the…

I am exiting the DIY scene and would like to part with my ingredients rather than they go to waste. I would be happy to sell what i can for (at most) 50% of online/retail cost, possibly lower if there isn't much interest or you're in a tough spot financially;…

We received a [report from customer](http://discourse.powderedfoods.com/t/100-food-as-a-weight-loss-option/262) that she lost 9.4lb last month on Low Carb diet (40/30/30 Carb/Fat/Protein). My personal result - 10 lb/month on regular 2000 cal ratio (60/30/10).…

so as this recipe stands @ the amounts for one day this will make ~ 3 ish meals would you say? the Masa harina seems like alot to me i dont know im knew to making soylent and i am also a 21 year old female so i am trying to scale this for me with lower…

How are you preparing this? If there's cooking involved, I'm not sure it's saving you time... and if there's raw egg involved, you should not be preparing it in advance if there's any chance of the egg being warmed up (preserve the cold chain for food…

- Added upper level for cholestrol, 300mg per day

I think this explanation of the effects of "excess protein" is a common overstatement made by proponents of veganism and raw foodists. I used to believe and make this same overstatement, myself, 24 years ago. My current understanding is that protein…

Test kitchen this weekend. I'll post results.

I'm interested in the Biscotti recipe. Sounds great.

I'm looking at buying the easy-clean lids to fit my existing bottles. It would be $16 after shipping for 2 new lids. (Use promo code Contigo20 for 20% off)

If i remember right, you can email bulkpowders.com for a more complete micronutrient breakdown.

Well this was over Thanksgiving, between mouthfuls of ham and turkey, so I don't suspect a vegan agenda.. The processes described apply to protein from all sources, however protein derived from meat is significantly more expensive to digest and make…

You could try ordering a sample from http://aussiesoylent.com.au/ I haven't received mine yet so can't comment on what it is like but I thought I'd try it for $13. I am using official Soylent in Australia (via http://www.shipito.com/). Do you have a…

For starters I would cut out the egg and get a better multivitamin. Your health is depending on this soylent skimping on price is not in your best interests. Centrum isn't exactly the best multivitamin in the world. There are lots of multivitamins out…

Thanks for the quick answer! I was 50/50 on if there was a problem so it's good to know it's an expected few days wait (it's not a problem, I just didn't want to sit here for no reason if there was a problem). Thanks!Jim

I doubt anyone like that will "team up" with them. There's already a few of "them" who are watching this + getting ready to pounce with their own similar & competing product, believe me. (not saying that's a good or bad thing, however, competition is…

Your not going to find a single supplement that will give you 100% of everything. The manufacturer is assuming your eating food that will give you allot of what the pill isn't and they don't want to accidentally give you an over dose on the nutrients.

Dank Baard! *Rent naar beneden om voor te bereiden voor morgen.... Ik gebruik het dus echt 2x per dag voor wisselende maaltijden maar wil naar 3x toe. Wat Jeroen M schrijft heb ik ook. Ondanks dat ik het niet "Full Force" gebruik. Geen dipjes meer in…

Subscription orders are shipped out in batches every few days, so you will be getting a shipment notification soon. We are working on fully automating this system, so that subscription orders are shipped out immediately after the customer is charged.…

Hi Andi, ja, auf Joylent bin ich auch schon gestoßen. Wäre sogar meine erste Wahl gewesen, denn den Preis finde ich immer noch voll OK. Das Problem bei denen ist, dass im entsprechenden Reddit Thread seit einigen Wochen/Monaten darüber geklagt wird, dass…

I've already received my Soylent and my first subscription order. On 11-Sep-2014 I was charged for my first recurring billing of my subscription, and expected it to ship shortly thereafter. Yet nothing. It hasn't been crazy long (only a few business…

I don't know where you are, but I find mine in the mexican food section of the grocery store close to the poorer parts of town (they tend to have more international stuff available), in my case it's a Maxi.

The amount listed gives you the calories a person needs in a day. if you arent eating all of it you should eat something else or you will lose weight and possibly become malnourished

Almond meal we got from the package, i dont remember which brand it is. The masa we got from a government website. you can find it through max's people chow recipe

Ah, how did I forget this one? Vega One Nutritional Shake One serving supposedly has "50% daily intake of vitamins and minerals" So far I only tried the "natural" (tasteless) version once or twice .. but it tasted like grass (even after I added milk…

Take this whey protein supplement for example: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000QSNYGI?tag=19-82341-20 It lists: Calcium - 8% Iron - 2% The DIY ingredient editor only accepts g/mg/iu so I'm not sure how I would convert that from a given percent daily value.…

Why are you using two protein powders?

I admit I have noticed that some DIY soylents seem to have a disturbingly high amount of some nutrients. Generally to little of a nutrient is bad and will result in a deficiency while to much of the same nutrient can also be bad because it can be toxic…

It's interesting to compare different ratio of nutritionally complete foods for weight loss purposes. Soylent offers 50/30/20 Carb/Fat/Protein and you have results described here. According to customer reports DIY-blends based on Low Carb diet (40/30/30…

Yes, it's hard, but we coped with it due to Flaxseed & Hemp seed blend. But I think that more we talk of it - more producers will support our demand.More over - they start offering by themselves, have a look at e-mail I received today: Hello, I would…

There is no need to throw out this batch. I do the same thing as you, add the oil to the dry ingredients then add water. I let it soak overnight and give the container a good shake before pouring. I also use a 28oz blender bottle to break up any remaining…
