Nothing else? Geez no wonder Soylent is swamped.... Anyone? Anyone else have a temp solution they can offer me?

It's day 3 of soylent for me and I am already having dreams of eating. What my conscious mind craves, my subconscious remembers.

nope.. mine came from west to east coast. took a week via truck.

lets just say you did get tired of the taste... nothing would stop you from adding another taste to it, which is the whole point of it being as neutral as possible Vanclute has been experimenting with his Soylent a little I noticed, like cookies and…

So my two week supply of 100%Food arrived today. I have to say I like it. It's 'very' thick though, which I had some problems with - had to put it through the blender. The taste was good. Subtly chocolate with a grainy base. Tastes earthy in a good way.…

casssax said: then was on a truck for the next 5 days. Interesting. So my shipping estimate of next Tuesday the 17th is probably accurate. I could have sworn the said people would be getting their soylent in 3 days once it shipped. casssax said:

Well that's no good. Sounds like there might be something wrong with my order... sucks because I don't know whether or not I'll need to buy groceries for next week. Edit: For anyone curious, and because it doesn't seem like there's any personal information…

No this isn't what you think it's going to be! @vanclute this one is probably more for you. When Rob started his Soylent journey he mentioned that with the flavour it's something that you won't tire of easily. My housemate is betting I won't be able…

UPS just delivered! 40 mins to my normal 1 hour lunch, looking forward to tasting 100% food! Also thanks for the Samples of Classic and Organic Cracked open a bottle and took a whiff, Definite chocolate and what my brain registered as green tea earthy.…

You've been too 'hard' on 'Rosa' as well? ^^

12:20 pm DeliveredSouthbury, CTLeft at front door. Signature Service not requested. I won't get home until five tonight but it appears that my Soylent is waiting for me!

How long did it take your tracking to go from "Shipping information sent to FedEx' to showing that the product actually shipped? I'm starting to worry my order fell through the cracks (again).

I hope it's not because of re-orders because the problem is only going to get worse. People who are receiving their orders are putting in large re-orders (more than they need) because of this shortage. Either so they won't run out, to get some for their…

My starter kit and 5 week order shipped on 6/10. Starter kit shipped USPS Priority Mail, Soylent shipped FedEx Home Delivery. USPS shipped from LATHROP, CA 95330  FedEx shipped from STOCKTON, CA just 11 miles away. USPS got the starter kit to me…

Just - I dont know. A random ( and fist time! woot! ) post about my use of soylent. I got a 3 month order of Soylent. 2k calories per day is below my normal caloric intake, but what I liked is that I knew I was getting almost everything I needed on…

It took about two and a half weeks to go back to normal.

So I received shipping notifcation from Soylent on Monday with tracking numbers, and the tracking showed that shipping information was sent to FedEx with an expected delivery date of Saturday. It's now Friday, and the tracking information hasn't been…

Yeah it seems to me that if you re-ran tests after 2 weeks on conventional food only, you might totally invalidate any data you've gathered. Sooner is probably best!

It a 1-2 week notice.

I'm very curious to hear about your experience with this recipe. I'm a crossfitter as well and haven't ever tried going to a full Zone diet but its been on the radar for a while now and, for me, this recipe would make the diet change pretty manageable…

after how many days now?

Ik heb je gemaild :)

Thanks @Zenman and @vanclute . I'm still considering when the best time to rerun tests will be. I suspect I'll do it sooner rather than later though as I'll be out of the country and unable to use Soylent for a couple of weeks at the end of the month.…

Much less gas. Back to normal levels for me now.

After some more experimentation (and getting a syringe to properly measure the oil rather than using the previous "tip the can and make a huge mess" method) Either I have just gotten used to the taste or I've made it better. That said I probably should…

prob need to close this thread now that the problem has been addressed..

while that is a very vague analysis, it makes perfect sense.. lol i also am having mild headaches..keep track of it myself.

In general, everyone is different. Based on an informal tracking, it seems that most are good after about a week. Im on day 5. It was really bad on days 2 and 3. Yesterday it didnt act up until the end of the day. Im hoping its a sign of peetering…

Do you actually have less gas after 3 weeks, or do you have the same amount of gas, but now it's just less smelly? The gas is almost unbearable for me. I'm on my 4th day.

Just ordered me a 1 week supply to try. Like a few others, never tried soylent or any DIY myself so this should be an interesting experiment. I will post details as they transpire. Ben

A family of 2 might need to order 2 months' worth of Soylent every 1 month. But an eBay reseller of Soylent might need to order a very large quantity from Rosa every week. @JulioMiles, is there any rate limit on reorders?

Waiting on an extra pitcher as well, haven't seen a notification but I have faith that the Soylent team hasn't forgotten about the add-ons just yet.

While its been many years since I've been into bodybuilding I still have a lot of muscle. I also work out a little in my home gym.

I hope this slowdown is caused by reorders rather than a slowdown in their fulfillment processes. The lack of transparency has really damaged my opinion of the Soylent company. They claim their agenda is to move down the shipping queue as quickly as possible.…

yeah definitely slowed down a lot at least on visible trackingmails reported etc.

Thank you, @JulioMiles! I greatly appreciate your continued hard work!

Curious - has anyone here tried the actual product? It's a bit more expensive but it is shipping now, albeit slowly. I have been traveling A LOT lately, and it is very difficult to keep up with the making and cleaning when working 10-12 hour days on…

I'm really hoping so. This apparent prolonged stall in shipping is concerning. I think the reorders aren't working out the way they had planned or their copacker is having issues getting shipments to the fulfillment center.

Thank you very much. I look forward to it

Going to try it out this weekend, will definitely let you know! Thanks for the recipe!!!

Yes thats what soylent forum regulars would like but not the average person watching Colbert. Hearing a robot throw out 100 words per minute will be less successful at communicating the benefits than speaking more casually on an entertainment show. There's…

Thanks ! I downloaded your spreadsheet, it is very informative !

Same here. The delays on Soylent's side meant the transaction already was no longer eligible for a refund from eBay or PayPal when the product was finally released, allowing Glintomb4 to just keep the money and run.eBay merely told me to file a complaint…

The primary difference is that as much as 50% of all Choline Bitartrate we consume is degraded in the gut by bacteria, so only half of what you are taking gets absorbed. From there, it gets processed by the liver and had to be converted into the right…

I just heard about Soylent today after watching Colbert. Looks like some great stuff, and I'd like to try it out, but the minimum investment is $85. I don't really want to spend that much just to find out I can't stand the stuff. Is there any way to purchase…

@Spaceman - I can't wait for the new flavours, I will order another month set when you confirm them!

I got that email as well and signed up for it and haven't heard back from them. Wondering the same thing.

Bonjour,je viens d'ouvrir un blog pour relater mon expérience avec le Soylent maison http://full-drink-exp.blogspot.fr Il sera alimenté au fur et à mesure de mes essais, découvertes, tests, etc. A bientôt !

As a newbie to the DIY world, I have to ask... what's wrong with oat flour that you would need an alternative?

Yes, I agree. I would add that metabolism vary from person to person. With a double protein version, and on a basis of 3 meals a day, it's easy to go 1.33 or 1.67 protein. It really is a matter of choice and I appreciate that.

Why would you ever need this lol?

Calci k , youll have to tweak your recipe but it knocked out calcium and phosphorous.

JulioMiles said: Yes, I had a bit of leakage. Lids seemed not screwed tight enough. That's no good! How many were affected? I can get replacements shipped out ASAP. Thanks, but it's probably only the one bottle. I'll live! JulioMiles said:

Ahh! Thank you. Already sprouted yes!

I'm passively wondering a little about the backerkit T-shirts. Currently I'm sort of assuming that they're being prioritized after the actual orders, and will generally start being sent out once shipping stabilizes a little more. That being said, since…

Tried some LorAnn cheesecake flavoring in Soylent. Seemed like it would be a good combination, but it ended up tasting nothing like cheesecake or Soylent and was just pretty nasty. I've got some other flavors I'll try later on.

@Jeroen @livingparadox both your pitchers will ship tomorrow. thanks for your patience!

Hi was just checking out your recipe I would probably not use the salt substitute the sodium portion of salt is essential to proper body functions. Sodium binds to water to maintain intra and extracellular fluids in balance. It also along with potassium…

I ordered a seven-meal sample of the spaceman 100% Food chocolate a few weeks ago, and it came very quickly (helps that I'm in the Bay area). Though a lot of people seem to like it, it isn't for everyone: I was nervous about mouthfeel (I'm someone who…

Salut @TheScienceGuy ! Le tableau de @Tronce reste la référence puisque nous nous basons tous dessus Tronce said: Absŏlūtus Pōtĭo - Version Google Doc. (la citation ne reprend pas le lien, mais tu devrais trouver ; le post date de décembre 2013)…

Contacted @lebel about this. We don't have a shortage of scoops so if he hasn't received them yet we'll get them shipped ASAP.

This topic is now closed. New replies are no longer allowed.

Don't worry: despite its colorful name, “Soylent” contains neither ground-up humans nor soy. It is a powdered “food replacement” with a carbohydrates, fats, and protein ratio of 50/30/20. Each serving contains 9g of dietary fiber, 36% of the U.S. RDA.…

Not really a huge deal though. You will definitely mix it quite well, but even if you get say, 2x the correct amount 1 day, and 1/2 the amount 2 other days, it just averages out over short enough time frames.

I would like to hear when they think they might be getting the scoops then. Or give me the option to not have a scoop. I don't blame them, I would just like my sample of Soylent so I can see if I'll like it before my official getshere .

(post withdrawn by author, will be automatically deleted in 24 hours unless flagged)

I'm skeptical and will wait for reviews or version 2.0 if there is one

Yes, @trigojon and @j8048188 - I got my prize from @lebel hands and saw several boxes ready to ship. The cause of delay - is the scoop with Soylent logo, so don't blame guys from Crowdtilt.

Yep, you summed it all up extremely well!

Great post Carlton, glad you were able to follow through!

Oooooh look ma, a troll!! Quick, pass me the camera!

So um, @JulioMiles, dem pitchers? My fiance is making due without hers, but I mostly just want to know what the plan is with the pitchers...

Do you have a 10-12 weeks delivery notice on your site as well?

hmmm. This sounds oddly familiar. Maybe we have been too hard on Rosa after all....

It works decently as coffee creamer, but you have to keep stirring it since it settles down to the bottom.

You can eat plenty of protein! Meats, Meats, and more Meats! I am doing a keto diy soylent. Have been for 3 months now. It has 36g carbs in it. I have much better control now. I am hoping to get a sample bag of the official Soylent to test it, but…

If you're doing DIY, then using the calculator on http://diy.soylent.me is very helpful. Create a new recipe, and add your ingredients to the list. It'll tell you if you're over or under on anything, and it makes it a little easier for us to look over…

If you have diabetes you should not be eating anything that contains a lot of maltodextrin. It is malt sugar and is known to adversly affect blood sugar levels. There is no way that Soylent can be healthy. Soylent's key ingredient is malotdextrin. Also…

So what happened with the Crowdfunder free Soylent some of us were supposed to get? Its been over a month. Can someone tag the guy that was in charge of all that please? I don't remember his user name and I don't even k ow if I can tag people on my phone.

I sent them an email about almost a week ago and no reply. Spaceman got his but he went there to get it.

UPDATE: Just finished my two week all-Soylent experiment. Here's how it went: www.lifeafterfood.com Life After Food Day 16: It Is Finished, And So It Begins I made it. 14 days and 21 hours without food (but who's counting).…

That makes sense! Thanks for the response. No need to delay shipments; I can make room in my apartment. I'm actually glad to have a bit of a buffer in my supply. Always good to have a bit extra in storage for if I get hungry.

So I actually had this same reaction (the stars & light-headedness & such) when I went on a pretty strenuous mountain bike ride one afternoon, and hadn't really "topped up my tank" first. I took a break and had some more Soylent and it passed. It sounds…
