I agree. I would like to know what the hold up is. Getting scoops shouldn't take this long.

DrRighteous said: A few of my week shipments appear to have oil bottles that opened during transit. Just requested that the warehouse ship out your replacement oil bottles, sent you an email. DafJ said: Yes, I had a bit of leakage. Lids seemed not…

Oh I meant to add this as well... a definite must-watch for anyone who appreciates the humor in this thread.

The thread is here: http://discourse.soylent.me/t/crowdtilt-sharing-a-free-packet-of-soylent-to-first-15-replies/13284 And it was @lebel that did it. From what I saw, if I remember correctly, @Spaceman picked his up directly up from crowdtilt. I heard…

I use the isopure vanilla and the taste is very good, specially if vanilla is added. I dont know about the cinamon. I seem to tolerate it well and it give a touch of spicy. Iso pure is very nice, good quality, good product and its loaded with nutrients.…

I see the logic. I will do that with my next batch. Thank you :)

Do you still have the ingredients for sale? Im launching a business of diy soylent. Would you accept credit until i fulfill the first orders that will cover the price of the ingredients? I have already 3 clients ready to pay.

Let us know where you end up, either way... I'm still trying to figure that out for myself, too. If it doesn't work out at least you can eBay off your remaining stash of Soylent.

Another shipping update - not good news. So, I just got off the phone with USPS customer support after 55 minutes on hold... The short story is that we weren't able to ship today, but we're going to try one more thing tomorrow, which means hopefully…

Not 100% sure! my roomie & I were first day orders and have received our starter kit but not our soylent notification. I think there hasn't been a 'big' shipment in a few days, so we should see the next round of updates pretty soon, I reckon!

Hi @RobMF, apologies for the confusion -- @quark314 is correct in that subscriptions are activated once a backer has received their first order of Soylent, and ship out 1-2 weeks after. At this time it isn't possible to delay subscriptions based on how…

@JulioMiles I ordered a month in March and added another month before the deadline at the end of April along with an extra pitcher. Emailed customer service and haven't heard a peep. Can I get an update?

I, too, have been getting some weirdly low/blunt headaches, as well as tracers/stars in my vision this morning since switching to a mostly-Soylent diet about 48 hours ago. I was reluctant to assign them to Soylent but the headaches seem to begin about…

How far into the 4 week orders are they? I ordered my 4 weeks in September and haven't heard a thing yet. Getting antsy. This isn't meant to sound like criticism either, I'm just excited that its close.

I have PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) and need to be very careful with maintaining my hormone levels. Soylent has Soy Lecithin and most of the optional recipes include either Soy or Flaxseed, both of which contain phystoestrogens. Are their recipes…

I travel for work, almost every week. How big are the individual oil bottles, and how much is needed for one day? I'm willing to try a powdered oil substitute, as mentioned above, but I'd rather stick to the production formula while I try it out. I've…

Yeah, Haridasi, I'm currently getting screwed by Glintomb4 too, or at least it feels like it since he hasn't replied to me yet either.

UPDATE: Added links to articles from Contributoria, The Guardian, and the video from The Colbert Report.

You'll find a lively discussion of these in a thread from a few hours ago: http://discourse.soylent.me/t/holy-smart-cups/14222

I think the subscriptions kick in as soon as you get your first order. Even if you ordered your subscription after the cutoff date, once you get your first shipment of soylent, you are an "existing customer" not a "new customer", and thus don't have…

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.

@Bman007 thanks for kind words of customer support,@ruipacheco, @ForebodingStew - thanks for feedback. @gueste, @sachwala, @Predator - new flavours are on the way.I expect that Jun-20 we will announce it for sale. P.S. Since some of you have free time…

https://www.myvessyl.com/ The Vessyl mark One will help you track all of your drinking habits! I would LOVE to try this in combination with Soylent!

@Gismoo - when you receive you order - pls. review your experience, since a lot of users in this thread in forum have concerns about it.

Just out of curiosity, the addition of the stevia, that's just for flavor?

No. I have a B.S./M.S. in Biochemistry and it is just an educated guess. If you'd like to do a literature search, I'd be interested, but I'm not motivated enough to do it myself. Sorry if this sounds curt but I just finished a long day in clinic. Casein…

I think it went fair enough for a politics/comedy show. This wasn't meant to sell the audience on the product so much as introduce them to it and make a few good jokes. And honestly, most people wouldn't try something like this based on a TV show anyway.…

Here's my issue. Some people clearly ordered a LOT of Soylent, is selling it online, and is already receiving REORDERS. I can't even get a DATE for when I can TASTE it...2 week order.

For reasons I don't really understand, I just allowed myself to spend the better part of an hour debating Soylent with someone on the Colbert Report Facebook. I hate it when I feed the trolls.

j8048188 said: Have you received the mini syrups yet? Not yet. UPS tracking is showing delivery for next week, that'll make it about two weeks since I ordered before it gets here. Kinda disappointing speed from Zavida. j8048188 said:

I ordered 8 weeks of product a few months back. I got tracking numbers for each 4-week shipment, plus the starter kit. That all arrived this week. Very happy with everything so far. However, on the same day that I received my soylent (that i did order…

Can I substitute isowhey for the rice powder? I'm not vegan, and I have found that Isowhey release a diabetic version that I'd like to use.

@Snowman I've been reading DS for a while now and have refrained from complaining about anything at all. It served no purpose and didn't add any real benefit (tangible or otherwise) to the community. With that said though, this was my last ditch effort…

I would try any of the stuff on the DIY market place. I tried samples of spaceman blend. Even the "worst" of spaceman was tasty enough to be consumable and the chocolate was pretty darn good. It tasted better than some other tasty healthy stuff I enjoy…

Ah sorry, I just shipped it all out today! But if our next reorder includes it again, you can bet I'll be posting here to give it away. =)

Yes... they could ship my order or advise when it will ship. They could send out weekly email updates to people, like me, who ordered in November. They could have shipped orders in the order received, NOT in order of who gave them more money. Once you…

Strange It worked last night when I tested it. Why 2 accounts? Couldn't remember my login so instead of trying to contact someone I just did another account. They are actually merged now thanks to @JulioMiles. Thanks for posting the fixed link.

I'm working on an imitation-Soylent which has the same macronutrient quantities, and is based on the same carb ingredients (oat flour and maltodextrin). I call it Schmoylent. You can place an order here:http://custombodyfuel.com/product/schmoylent/

Alot of people are going with this until there Soylent ships. http://www.spacenutrientsstation.com/

I'm type1 and looked at this a while ago and the colbert appearance reminded me of the product. One thing that would worry me, if I were type 2 instead,are the amount of carbs. 84 is a lot for a meal.

Ben - My quick fix for this is I do what Chris has done here but every night before I go to bed I take that bag for 1 day, toss it in the blender with oil and water and mix it up. I have no concern about homogeneity at that point. I let it sit in the…

@vanclute, I'm new to the discussion page so I'm not sure how to send a PM on the site.That said, I'd appreciate some bottles of oil blend if you have any left.Thanks.

I've ordered some and don't have a real handle on when it will get here...It was a months worth to try out. If you had a choice to get something other than original Soylent, what would you get? I see the various DIY things out there, but other than…

I don't have my Soylent yet, but for me it will be like a band-aid. Right off!!That's how quickly muggle food will go away for me.As long as Soylent makes my stomach not feel hungry, then I won't have to worry about eating. Of course taking fine ladies…

Yes, it may not get to you until November. No, I'm not telling you which year.

I say ease in by having Soylent whenever it's convenient, and anything else you want any other time. Unless someone is determined to go 100% Soylent (which I'm definitely not, even though I'm at 80%+) I just don't see the benefit of "shocking your system"…

I think the mind is a very powerful thing. I went into DIY with the mind set that I was setting myself up for success. The liquid food, even if I didn't feel satiated, was still going to be providing me more complete and balanced nutrition then anything…

Hey @b_ward, if you wouldn't mind sliding into the other post about how Rob did on the show, I think it would be cool to have a small critique/what made you interested since you came from the Colbert bump. Good luck always - cheers

If my music stopped every time I took a sip I'd go postal. LOL

I found myself in an unusual position earlier today. I went to the post office to ship off my mistakenly-provided fish oil blends to a forum member. The clerk asked me if there were liquids in the box so of course I said yes, it's oil. She said "Wow…

Reviving this topic, now that even more people have Soylent. I don't know about y'all, but my body haaates drastic diet changes. I went all-Soylent yesterday, and today I feel... off. Just vaguely unsettled in the tummy--nothing drastic, but it's not…

I found out about Soylent right away. I decided not to order at that time as I was weary of crowd funding in general but I kept an eye on things. After reading numerous beta reviews and watching them generally move towards a finished product I became…

I'm clearly not in the demographic of who this cup is made for.But I think the vibration speakers are pretty cool -- imagine if this cup came with one on the bottom -- play music on the desk and it stops when you take a sip.

It's been 3+ weeks for me. I work from about 7:30AM to 6:30PM. I take a 700ml canister to work. On days where I go to the gym or play sports I finish the whole bottle while at work, on days where I am going straight home I probably finish about 500…

It's not about what's in it and how much. At least not in the "you're drinking beer" level, which would be pretty lame. It's about something that computes the nutrient content of what you drank, in the exact quantity you drank, and tracks that for you…

Yeah, that sounds about right.I find it works pretty good when I skwintch my eyes at someone who is saying or asking ridiculous things about Soylent and I respond "so what's your problem with healthy food?".

Maybe I'm in the minority, but this cup seems ridiculous.Who the heck needs a cup to tell them what's in it and how much they drank?When I pour something in a cup I know what I poured in there. And if I drink it I can see or feel how much is left. But…

Have you tried going keto?

A diabetic should eat as little rice or potato as possible, as these foods do cause spikes in one's sugar level. I am diabetic. Right now, I drink Glucerna for diabetics as a meal replacement. Unfortunately, I am also lactose intolerant. Needless…

Well said @EveB You are a smart personSome people (like me) don't really get satire and is why I didn't see it that way.

Yeah, especially when you can eat Soylent cookies all day long!!! =) Speaking of which I have only one left. Need to go make a batch pronto!

I've seen Colbert interview really really smart folk and they don't get many words out either. In fact, the scientific community is in something like mourning because Colbert used to be good for getting some of that stuff on the popular air. I think…

Only reason I saw this product is because of the Colbert Report showing it to me. Will look more into it!

I'm no nutrition expert. But, from my experience with food (I have to lose 1/2 human), here's my take on your problem. Your body is not used to all the fiber. Also, you are consuming more oil and you may not be drinking enough water. Cut back on the…

And that people can still eat all the other things they love... But Soylent is an awesome alternative to junk food

That's the thing though... it's not sold as a food replacement. That's just how everyone treats it. Rob has always been clear that he's 90% max on Soylent, and that he replaces his "non-social" meals with Soylent, but not all food. Technically sure,…

But food replacement doesn't mean it's the only thing you have to eat... I think that is the main misunderstanding people have... Also Soylent doesn't look bad either... Looks like coffee with milk or something similar...

Mystify said: Is there a reason the scoop wasn't just made to be an even 1/3 of the pouch? Sure: the manufacturing lead time for the scoop was several months, so we had to finalize the design before Soylent 1.0 had been finalized -- hence having to…

It was nothing of substance. Just an angry status update indicating what he thought of the interview. I'm sure in part because I had promoted it. It was a way to make commentary on my touting the product without saying what he felt on my posts.Nothing…

JulioMiles said: We have made some changes to the recommended Soylent/water ratio when preparing with scoop: 1 scoop Soylent to 2 scoops water is optimal. There should be more like 3.5 "meals" of Soylent per pouch, when defining a meal as 2 scoops…

It sounds like it might be the fiber that causes your main problem... That part your body will adjust to... As for the slimy rainbow stoll... That could be many things and I advice you to keep a close eye on it... If its mainly gas besides that your problem…

I'm starting to think that Soylent would have much faster adoption if it wasn't sold as a food replacement. I think that is what most people are reacting to. However, if you let them decide how much and when it is used, I think people would be much more…

To add an additional data point... my decision was made based off the precept of 'My birthday is coming up in August. This is my early-late birthday present.' Even though it won't be here until my wife's b-day next year, or later more than likely. Totally…

I watched it when I woke up this morning and said to myself that Stephen had a beat-down on Rob with the Teddy Roosevelt ending about meat - which made Soylent look like a new age kooky idea. Then I came home from work on on my 2nd watch and I thought…

It almost sounds like you are trying to sell this product but like others have pointed out... Soylent is actually cheaper in terms of nutrition and calories

Just trying to compile a list to compare and figured it might be helpful for others as well. if you have any other suggestions, please add them in the comments. I am trying to stick with Amazon Prime but anything with free shipping on Amazon or from another…

Also, You should not expect any weight loss over 3 days- give it at least 2 weeks. Your weight can fluctuate by up to 5 pounds in one day, so an overall long-term trend of weight loss is desirable.

Is there a reason the scoop wasn't just made to be an even 1/3 of the pouch?

We have made some changes to the recommended Soylent/water ratio when preparing with scoop: 1 scoop Soylent to 2 scoops water is optimal. There should be more like 3.5 "meals" of Soylent per pouch, when defining a meal as 2 scoops of Soylent. This is…

I get that, it's pretty much how all the hatchet articles read, I was curious what people would write on Facebook as that's a pretty foreign concept to me out here. I couldn't tell you when the last time something popped up on my Facebook page that wasn't…

just ordered a weeks supply of people's chow, looking forward to it!

First ... I want! Having said that, my skeptical meter started to go into overdrive when the cup claimed to know what was in it. I'm pretty sure there's a thread here about a similar device (this one a laser if memory serves) that claimed to be able…

Just listen to the audience reaction during Colbert. When he brings out the pitcher and people see it, there is audible revulsion in the crowd. When he suggests they drink some there is the sound of disbelief and cringing. People are way way too hung…

Assuming that everything is calibrated for mixing an entire day at once, the measurements for single servings seems a bit off. I mix half servings at a time whenever I crave some and by following the 1 1/2 tsp. oil per scoop instructions I am left with…

I'd be interested in hearing some of it. I'm out in the Midwest and don't know anyone consuming Soylent personally. I'd wager if I started asking around an incredibly low number of people out here have devoted any thought to it, much less enough energy…

Ugh. Folks in my FB feed (who know I'm on Soylent but never comment on my posts about it) are now passive-aggressively posting on their timelines some real vitriolic reactions to Rob's appearance. I have to say, it's amazing the amount of anger people…

2 things 1: soylents pH is near 72: body pH being affected by food is junk science and holds no actual evidence... No such thing in other words... Whatever you eat gets dumped into HCl acid at about 1-2 pH

Conceptually, this is a great idea. The specifics of this product concern me. Maltodextrin, Sucralose, artificial flavors, canola oil that is almost certainly GMO, and a bunch of ingredients that I can't pronounce all would prevent me from purchasing…

Ignoring the creepy idolization and casual racism in your post I think you're making a mistake in your cost comparison in that by calorie Raw Meal is substantially more expensive than Soylent, so if your goal is to healthily fuel your body Soylent is…

21 Year old Triathlete, 10 - 15 hours a week of exercise. Thoughts?
