I drink some Soylent for breakfast and bring a 28 oz blender bottle to work. I don't always finish it.

This is not something I'm likely to face until about August, but that doesn't stop me thinking about it. I know I'm going to need more than lunch at work. I have my big crash at the end of my work day. I would like to be able to continue working for…

Added 5 tablespoons of cocoa powder to a week of low-cal people chow pre-mixing.jpg2000x1789 542 KB Then I mixed it up. The "flash" on my phone makes it hard to see but it was for realsies the same color all the way that I dug down postmixing.jpg2000x1125…

Added a month to my 1 week order before the cutoff in April. So @JulioMiles could you make sure my two orders did not fall through the cracks? No shipping emails to date. Thanks!

I was wondering about that, hoped it wouldnt be the case so Europeans could watch it. Oh well, at least us Canadians can watch it there as the other link is US only. I get this when trying to watch the US link "Sorry but this video is unavailable from…

Today is my first day on official Soylent and I brought two travel mugs, one 18oz and the other I think is 20oz (not labeled). I drank the whole 18oz bottle before lunch and was ready to start the 20oz at 12pm. I mixed mine with more water than is recommended…

Most people hearing about Soylent and ordering, probably don't even know this forum exists.

Wow.... Sorry, the video you have selected is not available for viewing outside of Canada. That's something you don't see every day, at least from the US...

They arent shooting anything. Just because a few ninnys are butthurt doesnt mean anything. People are still ordering every day, even though it wont be till October when they recieve their order, and when and if Soylent has been proven to do what it says…

I just watched it here: http://www.thecomedynetwork.ca/shows/thecolbertreport?vid=376732 I was surprised at how nice Colbert was towards Soylent.

You wanna know what's in the first post? neener neener neener, I got my Soylent, and I'm incapable of mature decisions about money or interacting with other human beings, SO I'M THROWING IT IN THE GARBAGE! AND THEN I'M RUBBING EVERYONE'S FACES IN THAT…

yeah but it also just says somethiing about this company. they are making food substitutes and claiming they can feed the world. but they can't even get their product to people who are literally trying to do anything to get it. i mean people are selling…

I take the pitcher in with me and a 16oz tumbler, drink slowly over time, then refill once. I only get through 32oz in an 8-hour shift (974 calories) then either drink another 16oz for dinner/late snack or a low-cal dinner. I should mention, I'm only…

Should we mention last night's Colbert Report as "Soylent in the media"?

Soylent stops you worrying about food? But that's one of life's pleasures This is a strange article. The guy makes many claims that are good reasons for a product like Soylent to exist. Then he says what a terrible idea it is and how nobody wants it.…

Seaine said: I wish there was a way to test this but unfortunately you can't remove the sucralose from your Soylent to try it out. Well that's not quite true - I'm trying my own sucralose-free imitation Soylent DIY recipe ("Schmoylent"! ). First of…

If your using an electric fat tester then these results are not surprising. Muscle is made up of about 75% water and fat is only about 10%. The fat tester measures how fast an electric current travels through your body and the faster it travels through…

I've been bringing my entire Takeya pitcher of Soylent to work and keeping it in the fridge there. I'll pour myself a glass (or half a glass) every hour or two.

If all goes well, it may be enough time. If you run into problems, you may need longer to tweak your recipe into something that works for you.

If it happens for you like it did me, you will have a 2-week buffer. I now have 2 unopened 1 mo boxes here (had slowed my consumption before getting my first reorder, so had plenty on hand and hadn't opened the reorder, yet) because I got my second subscription…

Meat has nothing to do with it. Obesity is almost an epidemic in India where 50% of the population is vegetarian.

@JulioMiles Similar here too. Ordered 6 weeks (2 weeks in Oct + 1 month in April) and... still waiting. I'm dying from malnutrition here lol, please save me ASAP!

Last night I decided to use black tea since my green tea experiment worked out favorably. Well this morning I got into it after letting it sit overnight and I may be exaggerating a bit here, but it was a little slimy. I think the higher heat of black…

I had three servings of 100%Food yesterday, one of each flavor. I used a Blender Bottle, filled to the top, shaken, filled to the top again. I enjoyed it quite a bit, and will definitely get more in the future. I have a lot of Soylent coming my way,…

It may be the meat but I am not sold. I dropped more than 20 pounds in 2 weeks eating meat like a mad man every weekend and about 3 meals during the week. All the while drinking over 100 ounces of water a day.

I am going to echo this. I take Adderall XR and getting hunger cues from my body is not a reliable way of timing meals because they don't happen unless I am really hungry. In addition not getting enough protein to drive neurotransmitter synthesis can…

I think they just keep the ordering delay in there to adjust for reorders and huge spikes due to media attention. I am glad if they manage the 10-12 weeks without bumps, while keeping the deliveries and the reorders and the still big backlog of preorders…

I'm going to start a 2-week trial of DIY Soylent on Monday. I'm going on a long vacation right after that and will be having regular food while travelling. But if all goes well during the 2 week trial, I plan on ordering large quantities of the ingredients…

@JulioMiles: my roommate and I also ordered 1 month (each) on day one. Based on @Travis' friend ordering months later and getting their shipment, I'm worried that maybe we were "skipped" in the same way @Travis was.

Last night on the Colbert Report host Stephen Colbert sat down with Rob Rhinehart, the inventor of Soylent, a drink mix with some strong claims attached to it. He introduces Rhinehart by joking, "My guest tonight has invented a drink he says can replace…

Gonna go have me a cookie or two with my breakfast Soylent. Oh man what a way to start the day!! LOL

LOL Human beings only truly learn one way - by making mistakes. Even then some don't learn, but you apparently aren't one of those. And really it seems quite individual anyway. Some people do just fine drinking large portions at a time. I think…

Fair point. My bad....

I'm splitting mine into meals per day or equal amounts.I'm having mine at my normal meal times except i'm having the last one at 5 or 6 instead of 7 to 10 pm.I've been trying to drink some water if i feel like I'm wanting something after that last meal.…

I finally got to try my second batch this morning. This time I put 500 mL of cold, filtered water in the blender carafe, and got it swirling on a low speed. I gradually added the Soylent, and increased speed as I did (to keep the same level of whirlpool…

Last night Stephen Colbert sat down for a little taste test with Rob Rhinehart, CEO of Soylent. The latest food craze in Silicon Valley isn't really food at all — at least in the traditional sense. It's Soylent, a nutrient-rich drink that is engineered…

I use a 20oz shaker bottle half filled with ice then topped with Soylent, so I imagine approximately 15 ozs of Soylent per serving? I drink one bottle from 9-10, one around 12-1, and then another from 2-3, and then when I get home at 5 I split the rest…

A lot of it might have to do with the fact that you are no longer eating meat (or at least significantly less often). I was vegetarian for a while, and when I first stopped eating meat I dropped from 170 to 157 in 2 weeks, despite carefully planning my…

From what I've been reading if you're hungry or have headaches after eating your Soylent. You'll need to split it into 4-5 meals a day instead of 3. I personally just slowly drink mine on breaks and lunches and then take it home and finish it.

Well, if your slice of pizza cost $500 and you threw it out in a trashcan in front of an audience of people hungry to eat it, people who had begged you to give it to them at no cost or harm to yourself, then maybe we would "come at [you]". But you didn't.…

I should have my Soylent by the end of this week. I'm trying to figure out how much I'm bringing with me to work each day (working 9 to 5, Monday - Friday). Soylent split into 3 meals is about 666 ml each, but people seem to think that it's better to…

Spaceman sent me both blueberry and mango. I will try them today and report back. Edit: I woke up this morning and felt great. Even though the classic tasted pretty bad, because it filled me up so well, I could see myself drinking it blended with some…

Yesterday was much better though I am starting to think a reaction to sucralose is a possibility as I feel pretty strange most of the day, as if my head isn't quite clear. I woke with no headache this morning though one is coming on now. I don't think…

Damn Loot Crate shipment fooled me AGAIN!$%*@#

You clearly did not wait until the show ended. Smh...

If you remove the peanut butter you will need to replace. Try 3/4cup of butter. You'll get something like a sugar cookie I think . Be sure to let us know how it goes.

I'd like to put it out there that this Brighter Brains Institute has no charity accountability rating, and while I'm not saying that they or Powdered Foods are doing anything suspicious, there needs to be more information regarding this charitable endeavor…

I think what reddleman is asking is if Rosa Labs are ever gonna manage to cut down on the backlog. You would expect after this amount of time, there would be less wait. How much longer will it be before they get to point where new orders ship as soon…

I suspect this may be the culprit. My blood sugar spikes quite a bit higher (and faster) than it does on normal food when consuming Soylent. Only ingesting a small amount at a time essentially eliminates this effect. This is something @vanclute has been…

I think he was a little upset or frustrated that he couldn't really explain it as well as he wanted because this product can be interpreted as many things.

Is it just me, or did Rob seem very nervous here? Otherwise he did good.

Technically? It is food. Just like Ovaltine or Powdered milk.

As of may he has had over $10,000 dollars in new orders every day! So that's about 40 orders a day if each person gets the subscription. You can assume it's maybe 2x or 3x that by now with all the advertising and referrals. I asked before for a counter…

Having seen Soylent on the Colbert Report today, I am thinking of getting some friends together to try Soylent. I probably currently eat in excess of the 2010 calories in a Soylent bag, I'm not entirely sure though. The question I have, is do most people…

It was excellent. I'm sure they will see a bump in their orders now. I don't think he used bourbon though. It was Hershey's chocolate syrup. Has anyone tried adding that yet? How did it taste?

Rob said he makes $10k per day? Is this from the interview last night? I didn't see it yet. I assume it means they are getting $10k of orders per day, and not that they or he personally is making $10k per day in profit.

Send a mail to info@soylent or a pm to @JulioMiles and in general hope for them to not get drowned in mails too much and for a new platform for anyone to do these changes themselves

My boyfriend hates peanut butter. Is it required in the recipe? Can it be replaced with something else?

Hey Baard, Koel. Mail me even misschien kunnen we samenwerken. Daarvoor moet je gewoon even gaan zitten met iemand van de kvk. Afspraak maken en langsgaan.

Hey, Backer 309 here, ordered a one week shipment in the summer of 2013, and was going to have it shipped to my address at school, but have since graduated. Is it still possible to change the shipping address and if so how?

Hello all! I am considering purchasing soylent. I am overweight (due to hormone/thyroid problems, not bad eating), and I didn't know if this would help! I didn't see it in the website FAQ, so I figured I would ask here! Thanks for all your help!

Hey Hosselman, Ik heb geen interesse om je recept te kopen, alleen ben ik zelf door de hele maalmolen aan het gaan om mijn eigen recept te kunnen verkopen. Hoe heb jij dat gedaan? Wat voor vergunningen heb je nodig? Ik wordt bij de overheid van het…

I couldn't agree more... Before Soylent I was running to the bathroom after every meal, sometimes more than once, in pain. Since Soylent I go once a day, its a miracle. Still I do miss pizza

Hey Baard, Bedankt voor je reactie man. De prijzen komen niet meer overeen. Ik bestel het in zakken van 25kg. De wei is gewoon Whey zoals dat wordt gebruikt door sporters. Het wordt inderdaad geproduceerd in een willekeurige keuken. Ik doe het zelf…

I just wanted to say I had IBS then started to take stuff like Soylent last year and it went away!! Soylent is the best stuff you'll ever find screw pills and other things because this actually works.

It's actually 10-12 weeks from ordering time (first oder), they clarified that already. So if you ordered 1 week ago it's 9-11 weeks for you, but for a order today it would be 10-12 weeks.

Thank you for your answer, that may be the case. I will take out the Malto first with same quantities and adapt if the results are not convincing.

Through and through a real troll, your wife

Just use the #1 or #2 on the site they're good. Then order Soylent from this site and once you run out of your DIY your regular Soylent should be at your door. You can also change them a little to lose more weight. You also need to workout obviously.

You're 100 or so pounds over weight. Just eat one meal of Soylent a day and eat more later on because I'm guessing your body isn't used to healthy food and is having a weird reaction.

That's something I've been wondering for awhile now with all the Soylent users complaing of bad gas. Sucralose is anecdotally said to cause some people bad gas, indigestion, and headaches. I wish there was a way to test this but unfortunately you can't…

Looking back on the initial shipping schedule (the one posted in late april) that was broken out by number of weeks and how many weeks it would take to get through them, they appear to finally have reached that output level. The pace they went through…

Maybe this sentence is a bit exaggerated for my state. I pass gas a lot and When I wake up I go 3 times to the toilet then it is better. During the day, nothing horrible, some urges from time to time that is all. Cannot it be be the body needing to get…

Thank you for your help, i will think about it. As I am not doing a lot of exercise, I think I need it to be ketogenic

So, one of the things about Soylent that's sort of nagged me has always been the carbs. Before I heard of Soylent I was into Keto alot. I lost 35 pounds, started at 212 and ended at 177, I quit because I had a surgery and I couldn't avoid carby food at…

Arnaudconda said: I am a bit worried because I am quite sick; I think "Stop!" is the best advice anyone could give you right now. Arnaudconda said:

No chocolate chips no problem. As @vanclute suggested a little thinner

When a diet has very low carbohydrate content, and most of the calories are derived from protein and fat, your body produces ketones, which cause it to get its energy from your stored fat. This causes rapid weight loss, even though you are ingesting calories.…

And any help for the digestive issues would be appreciated as it is annoying

Thanks for your answer, I saw the words "ketogenetic" and "ketogenesis" but absolutely do not what it means, being French...Would you mind explain it simply? What would I need to change in the recipe for it to be like that?

Sorry for the late reply, arthur. I am not as active recently, and I didn't get a notification, for some reason. I would like to stress that none of this is "accurate" per se. These are all educated guesses based on research into traditional food diets…

The issue was that I could not discipline myself enough to eat balanced. This recipe comes from a successful one + a friend of mine who tested it for himself."Stop it all" is not a very constructive piece of advice I must say.If you had advice about how…

Stop the recipe, go back to what you were eating before. A DIY recipe is something to be started slowly while getting plenty of feedback from the community.

Not sure about you but I want my scaley lizzard skin asap.

Hello, I am a new user of Soylent. I cerated my recipe through DIY Soylent, variant of an existing one, and have been taking it for 3 days , just started my 4th.I am a bit worried because I am quite sick; it is not exactly diarrhea but I am very gassy…

If it were me. I'd keep my ears open too for a local you could befriend or friend who has had a delivery already and see if they would allow you to tack your order on with their reorder for the time being. Since reorders only have a 1-2 week wait... But…

LiqCake is high protein, low carb. So the weight loss with this recipe probably comes from it being ketogenic. If you add maltodextrin, you may well not become ketogenic, and therefore any weight loss will be from good old (hard) calorific deficit,…

Hello, is this recipe too low in calories for a male wanting to diet? I am 5'9 and 238 Pds

Hello. I have started (it is my 4th day) a variant of this recipe with malto for a total of 2000KCal. It is the first time I ve tried anything like this and for now there are mostly worries: My digestive system is all messed up and I have not lost any…
