Hah... I actually kinda dig that slogan. =)

The non-Soylent things I've been eating the last couple days have mostly been habitual, rather than having a specific craving for them. This is very much what I noticed as well. Despite still having my staples in the house (bread, cheese, cereal, milk,…

Je vais tester un ratio "low carb" pour ma part, apparemment ça a des effets très positifs. Je te tiens au courant dès que j'ai démarré l'expérience. Moi c'est par économie et parce que j'ai beaucoup de mal à m'alimenter correctement (pas le temps de…

The mention of the Segway reminded me if it. If you are into geek related music I have a collection open.spotify.com [geek.out(you_know_ya_wanna) play]; [geek.out(you_know_ya_wanna) play];, a playlist by jonathan.annett…

Make sure you turn on the vent fan! LOL

It's all relative - 2 regular moderators, 250 or so regular posters, and 4000 or so infrequent posters / lurkers. Another 10,000+ weekly lurkers. It can (and has) explode in little "events."

Drag. It is my favorite protein. I like the vanilla flavored. I've tried a couple others in my DIY, but I'm about to buy this one again. Hope your soylenting goes well. What recipe are you using?

Abandoned the rice flour branch. There just isn't enough fiber in rice flour to make it worth it. When I can find a better fiber source than wheat bran, I may come back to this.

Ik haal nu de omega 3 uit lijnzaadolie en chroom uit kaneel. Het smaakt nog lekkerder nu. Je kunt het één dag proberen voor 5,50 EUR inclusief verzendkosten. Stuur even een mailtje naar joeyvankoningsbruggen@gmail.com of voeg me toe op Facebook als je…

? This forum isn't even close to "massive". Only about 10+ or so threads posted per day lol.

NEVER MID. I thought it was buy now lol.

Anyone think their shipping system is ridiculous? I ordered a 1 week supply, but back in October! More than half a year ago. Since 1 week is shipping last (which is not a good system since the 1 weekers are probably just trying it so that can re-order…

I can't figure out the Subscription Portal:https://soylent.chargebeeportal.com/portal/login I only ordered a single weeks worth of Soylent as a one-time non-subscription order. I still have some time to go before mine ships, and I've read enough here…

You know, I changed my shipping address via backerkit and wasn't sure it was successful. Once all the 1 month orders go out, I'll have to check again and see what's up.

I've decided to take the plunge and engage ReShip.com's services to get my 2 months of Soylent to me in Canada. Account established with ReShip and their confirmation that they've dealt with Soylent before and it will have no problem crossing the US/Canada…

This forum is massive. If anybody was going to censor bad reviews here, and I've seen no evidence of that, it would be a full-time job. I've read plenty of bad reviews here because Soylent, like everything else, isn't for everyone. Some people won't like…

Thank you. That actually made me feel a lot better! You're right. I pitched in to see this product happen; it wasn't a purchase, but a donation. If I actually get something out of it, it'll be karma! ^_^

I flagged it also. I think he's the same troll.

I'm very interested to hear of your progress. How many meals would you estimate with listed amount of ingredients?

I flagged the "Official Soylent Letdown" thread creator. I did it because he wasn't looking to contribute to the conversation but to piss people off... deliberately doing that, and it was pretty clear that was his intent, is trolling. It doesn't provide…

You get the record for the most trials in the shorted period of time! Good Job!

Forgot to mention: The sweet orange flavor actually kinda melted the bottom of the disposable plastic cup I was using for mixing. I got a new cup and started putting the Soylent in first and mixing the oil into that afterwards. The website said that some…

I do think that flagging a post because you don't like what a person says isn't what flagging was meant for. Flagging was meant when one of the forum rules are broken. If someone says they are throwing their Soylent away because it didn't work for them,…

This is my new (24 oz) breakfast mug: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B007ZJRPKW I just got it and it's currently in the freezer. Won't get to use it until Sunday as I'm going out for breakfast with family tomorrow. I found that my 16 oz plastic cups…

No. Only the moderators of this forum have the final say as to whether a post remains hidden. Please address your concerns to them.

Have been on Soylent for breakfast for a week now. Barely any fiber in my prior diet. Some days are noticeably more gassy than my usual. Some of the farts seem close to peeling the paint off the walls. Hoping I don't asphyxiate myself in the bathroom.

FOR SCIENCE! Can't wait to hear how they all turn out. Now we need a variation with walnuts in addition to, not in lieu of chocolate chips. You'll pry my chocolate chips from my cold dead fingers. Macadamia nuts and white chocolate might be good too.…

BriBy said: Thanks @gilahacker. I can see how my comment came off as snarky. The original post he was criticizing was horrible! I've never seen such disregard for basic human decency. There are people here on this forum from different countries…

MOAR UPDATES! I've been drinking Soylent for all of my breakfasts, and it inadvertently ended up being the majority of my dinner last night as I tried out several of the flavors I ordered. My dad has been drinking it for 1 to 2 meals a day and hasn't…

I don't know how worth it it is to put much effort into a lot of rate limiting. I mean, sure, raise an eyebrow if someone orders 6 months worth 2 weeks after their last order. But really this is a problem that's going to fix itself in a couple weeks.…

In conclusion, it seems like the culprit was the preservatives in the masa harina: discourse.soylent.me Soylent and the Zenhabits "Month of Food Boringness" Okay. I did four ingredient trials today. A 1/4 cup each of oat…

I ask this because the reason for shipping larger orders first is that customers with larger orders won't reorder as soon, but this premise doesn't hold true in the case of resellers. Is any rate limit in place to inhibit eBay resellers who ordered in…

Sorry to bump this old thread, but I finally bought some preservative-free masa harina at Whole Foods today, and just did another food challenge, mixing 1/4 cup with water and drinking it on an empty stomach. Not experiencing fatigue, and I can't tell…

Thanks @gilahacker. I can see how my comment came off as snarky. The original post he was criticizing was horrible! I've never seen such disregard for basic human decency. There are people here on this forum from different countries who can barely…

I did People Chow for a couple months for maybe 25% of my meals and got tired it of and figured it'd be the same with Soylent. But having been on it since Wednesday I have to say I'm much less tired of it than I thought I'd be. I picked up a porterhouse…

Right now I don't think there are really great alternatives. The DIY stuff is great when it comes to variety, but having done both People Chow and official Soylent the official stuff beats the DIY hands down when it comes to texture, taste and for how…

jason_gamedev said: qq... I mean really, come at me all snarky then cry about my response? lol. I gotta say, I don't think that was @BriBy's intention. From what I've seen he seems like a really nice guy. You can check out his DIY soylent videos…

I'm not tired of Soylent itself, but I do like variety, so I'm trying different things that don't change the nature of Soylent so much. I've made it with brewed tea instead of water and that was excellent. I'll be making it with the best cold press coffe…

Silicon Valley entrepreneur Rob Rhinehart has lived primarily off of bioengineered liquid food substitute Soylent for a year and a half. (And he's still alive. Phew!) Emboldened by his experience--or perhaps giddy from the deprivation--he's bringing his…

I've only had mine for a week now (7 days), and only for breakfast* until I eat my way through the food in my freezer/pantry, but I really like it and think I've actually grown to like it more over that time. I'm actually looking forward to bumping up…

Bought mine in Costco two/three weeks ago - Kirkland is their own brand: 6µg.

That should work good, but it's a very low calorie count. Wish you the best, but don't be afraid to add a bit more calories per serving if you find yourself being too hungry. I've heard that eating too few calories can slow your metabolism.

I'm actually taking the little-and-often idea to the extreme as I'm only going to drink 100 calories an hour for 15 hours, with 100ml of water in between, each hour for 15 hours as well. I'm hoping to jump start my metabolism.

I also want to lose weight but I can see where if you mix Soylent and conventional food daily it might be more of a challenge. I don't have any weight loss data to share yet, it's too early and I haven't officially been trying to lose weight yet. I would…

I have been confused by this several times on the forum and replied thinking they were talking about regular Soylent only to find out it was DIY. But I'm a bit more careful now and try and figure it out first. Also if the thread is marked as DIY then…

Lot's of great replies. I'm finally starting my 100% Soylent journey this Sunday and today I quit cold turkey on the caffeine, I'm sitting feeling very rough indeed but I know I'll be fine tomorrow with a one day gap before starting Soylent. Posts like…

I'm on day 7, and I'm not bored with the flavor or the routine. I'm taking advantage of the time saved by getting a bit more exercise during lunch time and getting to work earlier. I still eat conventional food at night (generally healthy food), and I…

darcdragon said: I plan on only doing it for breakfast, maybe a lunch here and theremy multivitamin has 2mg of manganese and says 100% next to it, the chocolate 100% food says 103% next to it. shall I be worried if I consume 2 bottles + take the vitamin…

I understand the concern of boredom only in the abstract now. It made sense pre-Soylent, but now it's essentially the wrong language. Suffice to say, on Soylent, you don't relate to food the way you did before. The pleasure of eating is no longer about…

eviljim said: Are you doing 100% 100%FOOD? If so, like Spaceman already said there might be too much manganese. Everything else I'd doubt you'd be going too high on... maybe iron, I think one flavor had around 70% (so that times 3 + your supplement…

Thanks, got your order, @Muggle! Definitely comes with instructions. As far as bringing it around with you, the Takeya pitcher or the BlenderBottle Sport Mixer have worked well for me.

Ok just ordered 2 weeks of the People Chow Premium. Gonna use MCT oil with it and mix it all up in a 2 quart Takeya airtight pitcher. Hoping the Chow comes with instructions and looking for something good to bring it to work in...After reading the reviews…

Still waiting on my Food of the Future Solylent, but can't wait to get that burst of love for @Rob once it arrives. I'm constipated with love right now.

There's a delicious irony about a new account, mere hours old, complaining about astroturfing. There is plenty to complain about regarding soylent and rosa, but this isn't one of those things.

Hey @JulioMiles, I sent in a shipping address change over a week and a half ago. Got the auto reply, but never got an answer back. This was well a week and a half ago. Not upset or anything.... Good things come to those that wait 😁. Just was…

There are no bad or good reviews, there is a variety of opinions.But Discourse is not a blog (monologue), but the dialog between people and if someone crosses the border - others react with flagging. So if you want to say something - just choose a right…

If you're concerned the official forums don't display an unbiased picture of what people are thinking, consider reading the Soylent subreddit or checking out the Soylent in the Media thread and reading the articles that are linked there, several of them…

@SoylentSomeone - we have no official tests of the shelf life, so keeping in mind that since we have no liquid in 100%FOOD (dry mixture) - the shelf life should be equal to regular flour. I found recently some of my first bottles (that I stored as an…

Hi QuidNYC, I believe there's mention on the back of the Soylent 1.0 label that MgO is used but I noticed its absent in your recipe.

Oh boy those sound SOOOO good...

Great analogy... I'm also terribly bored with sleep and would love to not need it. But since I do, I try to make it the best (though shortest) that I can! =)

After a month exclusively on Soylent, I had my first meal today. It was a nice steak, with French Onion soup; tomato, basil, and mozzarella salad. And I was underwhelmed. It was typically a meal that I would enjoy immensely, but I found myself focusing…

Can't wait to hear how they turn out. 😸

NVM, I saw the note in your CL. Thanks!

Thank you @JulioMiles! Just got notified two replacement bottles were on the way.

Seeing as how I just ordered some of this and am planning to go 100% on it, has anyone noticed any reason not to do this? @Spaceman I saw your post in my other thread, but I don't live in the Bay area sorry. Another thing I'm curious about, how long…

Hi QuidNYC, my LarthurMix is very similar to what you've done here. However, I don't see any mention of xanthin gum in the application overview. Care to elaborate?

The quantities are for one days worth of food. Notice the calorie amount. Most people need/should take in around 2000 calories per day.

Yep, how dare I link to another post on this forum that has over 200 posts.

darcdragon said: Just had a thought, as its day 1 for me. Should I stop taking the One A Day Men's Health vitamin when intending to drink this? Are you doing 100% 100%FOOD? If so, like Spaceman already said there might be too much manganese. Everything…

YUP! So, it's almost 10pm here and I just finished cleaning up. I split the recipe in half and mixed half with peanut butter and the other half with regular butter. I'm letting it chill in the fridge overnight and tomorrow morning I'll split each of…

@codinghorror, At what point does promotion of a competing product become spam? It is starting to become a problem that, in my opinion, is damaging to this discourse. I'm a little concerned that recent negative posts seem to end with links to spam.…

Yes, sadly everyone in my thread decided to harp on the fact I was getting rid of the Soylent instead of anything else. I made a thread talking about why I was getting rid of the remaining 2 month supply I had and got SLAMMED by people for throwing it…

Hi Jason, I'm one of the people who flagged the post. I am definitely a fan of Soylent but wouldn't consider myself a "fanboy." I've seen negative threads here and am always interested in hearing other people's reactions to Soylent. In fact since…
