http://diy.soylent.me/recipes/people-chow-301-tortilla-perfection If say I wanted to mix up people chow, can someone tell me how much the gram amounts listed here are going to make? For instance is it a day's worth? Is it a serving? Is it 2000 calories…

I only had headaches the first couple of days, and thankfully haven't had them since (today is Day #6 being on Soylent for me). I did have one night in the beginning where the headache was so bad it woke me up in the middle of the night. I just popped…

Day 1 and not feeling great. Headache and nausea. Soylent makes me thirsty, so I'm drinking more water than I normally do, which makes me feel a bit bloated. I hope this "adjustment period" is brief.

Received my one month supply today. First, the best part: I purchased it last Friday, it was shipped Monday and reached PHX by mid afternoon on Wednesday. Tried out the chocolate version. Pretty homogenous powder. Taste was fine, just like chocolate.…

I do a whole banana for a daily portion, 200ml of almond milk, and stevia. The banana does wonders, but there was still a bit of a bitter aftertaste that made it feel like I was drinking liquified hay. That was when I was using vanilla almond milk. Since…

Hey (important!), you get all of the vitamin B12 from the Kirkland pills. They seem to cover 100% of the B12 daily need, according to your recipe. But on my Kirkland pills container it says 1ug of B12, which they give as 40% of the daily recommended allowance.…

it T N T, not TMT. though we could pull off TMNT

If you made a double protein version I would order a months supply.

Thanks for the input, I may be allergic/sensitive to something in it. I think the consensus here that I should try slowly adjusting to the soylent. I did have about a cup's worth throughout today and feel a little better than I did after downing 2 cups…

Better to just keep each day's worth of oil in a separate container. That way you could prepare all of the oil at once and not have to worry about spoilage. The month's worth of powder should be fine, but I wouldn't suggest mixing up that much powder…

Good luck @luisrayas3, but the link to your grok chow in your post does not work.I suggest to use this one.

I believe there is a Youtube video of Rob appearing on some sort of show or something where the host does exactly that and says it's amazing.

Ditto... occasionally I get some powder stuck to the lid, but it's definitely a minority of the time.

@Aelous- that was Classic. But the "metallic" flavor? How different our taste buds are... Regarding shipment - due to my deep involvement into 3 000 000 cal DIY-Soylent for 140 kids, pls. expect 1-2 day delays in shipment.

Or mate, or meta… Oh, whoops.

There are pills but the link I provided is the liquid.

This product uses soy protein. That stuff can cause some serious gas in many people. I think until these powdered food companies can come up with an easily digestible protein, they'll always have trouble making everybody happy. I find chicken very,…

Hi guys, yesterday I received a Message : Want to donate or sell Soylent to a starving village? BrighterBrains.org helps a tribal indigenous village on Mindoro island in the Philippines. 300 people in the village, 140 kids, they are malnourished. Most…

Moving soon? To a cabin in the mountains?! Like a vacation thing or a PM ol' Lyds thing cause there's some Mayan calendar thing about to go down? O__O

Apparently Rob et.al. had this discussion already and came up with their answer about what to call Soylent. And then they printed it on the box. Every box of Soylent says... Soylent: Powdered Food. Powdered Food. Soylent is powdered food. I feel…

Mine hasn't shipped yet, but I intend to throw in a shot of Kahlúa. Judging from the pictures, it just looks like it needs a shot of Kahlúa ... like it's calling out for it.

I've got to wonder why it is that their email channel has such a bottleneck. Is there that much higher volume of emails than posts here on the forum?

Wahhhhhhh! The poor guy will never be the same.

So I got my week's supply not too long ago and I've had a chance to try all three flavors I got. I loved the chocolate flavor. Tastes amazing, not too sweet. The texture is not completely smooth, there are some bits from the ingredients. But it's not…

alright, trying for Meat. @errantb is next

I just found something called "The Ultimate Meal". It seems a lot more convenient than soylent because its just in one big can. You don't need to mix the ingredients together or anything. Would this be a better alternative for me?

Sorry for my absence… We can always try again.

Well last night I made todays batch starting out with some strong fresh brewed green tea. Had it for breakfast and the tea definitely changed the character of the soylent. I really enjoyed it. When I make tonights batch I am going to use a black tea and…

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll give it a try. Just to make sure, this is liquid? I've read some reviews that were mentioning pills.

Here's what I do: fill the pitcher only 1/4 full with water, then dump the entire packet of Soylent on top of the water. Shake it up thoroughly. You'll have a very thick Soylent batter. Then add the oil and fill it to the top with water. Shake again.…

A good place to start is looking at the most popular recipes:http://diy.soylent.me/recipes?sort=favoritesCount I started with the most popular recipe and then started experimenting and branching out with my own:http://diy.soylent.me/users/axcho

Im an 18 year old male, I am about 5'7" 200+ pounds. I want to try soylent mainly to lose weight, but also to just be healthy in general. I have been looking up DIY recipes and have no idea what one I should try. Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks for thinking of my marketing skills so good @errantb But before clapping the hands, let's wait for review or photo of the trash basket from @SoylentSomeone. But, stop. Stop. Stop. I have better idea. @SoylentSomeone - can you make a comparison…

I think the amount of potassium citrate might be dangerous - the FDA caps the recommended elemental potassium intake at 99mg.

I experience very similar symptoms to OP, except I NEVER had headaches until Soylent. The funny thing is I was on DIY which was based on masa harina for 4 months and I've had 0 problems on it. With the gas and head problems on Soylent I actually went…

Some people mentioned that potasium can have that effect if you were deficient before starting... And you will feel like that until your body adjusts... But idk, try easing into it... Or maybe eat normal for a week and then try again? Or maybe actually…

1tsp of cinnamon in the pitcher - I can smell it, but not taste it, really. Will try doubling it and then, if needed, tripling it. I bought some vanilla powder (basically, vanilla for people who don't want the alcohol from vanilla extract), and I'll…

Your right. He'll be back though.

I had a similar reaction when starting in on People Chow several months back. I went back to normal food for a bit and then tried just replacing a meal or two on People Chow and didn't have any issues. I don't know if it was a virus or just getting…

I would recommend upping the calories a little bit. The rule of thumb is that, when trying to lose weight, women should get at least 1200 calories, and men should get at least 1500. (I've lived on less than 1200, but it required vitamin supplementation.)…

Genius marketing from @Spaceman Though I disagree with it, the poster had every right to do what he did. He's a complete moron for choosing to post about it here, though, to the point where I just don't believe too many words of it.

As far as I saw, the pitchers on backerkit were the Takeya ones - there wasn't a different option floating around out there.

Side note, to the Powers That Be I ordered only 2 weeks because that is what I could afford at the time. Do you by any chance have an elastic time range of when you will get to us measly orders less than a month? Or 2 weeks? Because I might be moving…

We had "MEAP", aka Michigan Educational Assessment Program.Now we have Pam, a cooking spray.

Awww, but the J had been flagged for removal by the author and is now gone. Now we have no word.

Yes thats what I was referring to. A lot of those "extras" were cancelled, one of the fancier pitchers was one of them. Another example is the cups with the Soylent logo on them, which were also cancelled for not selling enough. They apparently don't…

i have not yet made this. it is based largely on people chow tortilla perfection. i didn't love the masa flour grit. in it's place are bananas (4 per day!) and yogurt and soymilk and rice milk. peanut butter (20 g) can be eliminated and the recipe remains…

now if there were only guinness flavor enhancers (with alcohol). but thanks for letting us know this. I use the enhancers all the time.

Such a crazy thing to happen. Some of us are waiting so patiently for their Soylent that we would take great lengths to get some. And then to read about how some rich guy got his Soylent and doesn't like it that he would rather throw it away than to give…

As a person who was born a baker I am intrigued. I have a feeling I will be incorporating Soylent into all kinds of baked good. For science!

We were sent a batch of cookies to taste test and give feedback on. They are really really good, though I wouldn't quite say perfect. I think there is room to try and make them a little crispier. Right now they are a touch "cakey". Still delicious…

I had a bit of an 'off' feeling at first too, which could have been related to switching over to Soylent - but as I've mentioned elsewhere, I ended up catching a virus at the same time I started, so all my experiential data is contaminated and unreliable...…

It has, about 340 at my last donation, about 300 now. I don't doubt weight loss has effected my overall health, but I also know that my diet has had a significant effect on my weight loss and health. Even when I was in the mid 200's my BP was high though,…

How did you manage to get the recipe from said forumer?! HAS IT BEEN PERFECTED?

Very interesting data, I am curious to see how my numbers change. The change in pulse intrigues me the most weirdly enough.

Has your weight dropped any? Curious as to whether these results are related to or isolated from other changes?

I've noticed for mine that when mixing the day before and leaving the pitcher overnight, Soylent separates out... but once I shake it back together, it never separates again, even if I leave it for the same duration (during my stomach bug over the weekend,…

I have been on soylent for about 6 months. I make occasional forays into muggle food, but the majority of my diet for those months has been soylent, or now Soylent. The vast majority of weeks I am 80-90% S/soylent, occasionally only 50%ish, but very rarely…

Cookies! Cookies! Cookies! YAY, would love the recipe as well

Yep you're absolutely right, you can say whatever you like without concern, within the rules of the forum.

Meant to add to say thank you to Quid. As "tough" a finished product as the current recipe is, I imagine the road to getting here was bumpy :-)

Now through my second week. My take away is simply this. Do not be afraid to pull the cinnamon out. I enjoy cinnamon normally and actually put lots of it in People Chow which I was eating prior to converting to Ketofood. In Ketfood I found both flavor…

So, half a week in I think I can safely say I'm one of the lucky ones. Odd smell on occasion, but really nothing of particular note.

Sure, doesn't mean we can't say he's an idiot for wasting food though.

It's not mine to share but think the originator will probably do so... I shall encourage it!

Care to share the recipe?

I would just add that an alternative approach is what I do. Rather then add the components to a container on the scale, I personally line up 7 containers (in my case 7 ziploc storage bags). I then take a smaller container and place that on my scale…

Keep in mind that everyone on this forum actually does have the right to "censor" via flagging. That's the entire concept behind community self-policing. If enough of the community feels it's worthy of flagging, then they are free to do so. /shrug/

Made a video of our first taste of Soylent peanut butter & chocolate chip cookies... And I'm currently chasing them with a frosty thermos of Soylent. Somehow, this seems very circular... LOL

He paid for it he can do what he wants. Plus I don't think anyone would accept soylent as a donation since it technically isn't food

Please everyone flag this dicks posts. Just cause u don't like what the guy has to say doesn't give u the right to censor him Talking to you @jrowe47

Hopefully it will for you, I was on it for a plus or minus a month and it never went away. Guess Soylent just isn't for some people?

Just chiming in that I'm experiencing the same thing. Hoping it will fade with time, its powerful stuff right now. I'm about 60-70% soylent now. 5 days in.

Clearly this is a very individual physiology thing. We experienced close to zero change of any kind in terms of bowel movements. If anything they became slightly easier, and for myself moved up maybe a half point on the bristol scale. Maybe slightly…

Just started this today. I am trying this for 2 meals a day and eating a normal dinner with my wife. I multiplied all of the ingredients by 0.66 when I make my daily dose. I am putting the mixture in a 20oz GNC Blender Bottle and filling it with…

That really depends on the strength of the marriage.

Yeah I would think that if Soylent is being consumed as part of a potentially life-extending (or maybe even saving) dietary change, any reasonable person would gladly put up with some gas in exchange for the potential benefits to their partner!

Wow... can't say I've heard of anything like that so far from anyone! If 5 hour energy puts you to sleep, it does sound like you've got an unusual metabolism in some way. Maybe there is something in Soylent that doesn't happen to agree with your physiology.…

I love how the Soylent forums have turned into the broadest discussion of farts and gas anywhere on the internet. Nothing makes me laugh more then when I hear someone call their farts "mustard." I, personally, can't wait to get my Soylent and luxuriate…

It makes me wonder if you are allergic to something in it.

@JulioMiles similar to Derek I have sent an email but I ordered 2 months (1 month in October and 1 in April) and I haven't heard anything.

I got my Soylent yesterday and couldn't wait to switch over to a 100% Soylent diet. So, after eating my normal breakfast and lunch I mixed up a pouch of Soylent. At about 6pm I was hungry and so I drank about 2 cups worth. It was yummy and I was so happy.…

DNA and RNA from the plant and animal products you eat are getting into your bloodstream with the potential to alter the way your cells behave. Sounds more and more like a totally synthetic diet is the only safe way to go! Heck, that makes me think that…

Very interesting... Seems like everything out there is trying to kill us. How has our species survived so long? On a serious note, though, I wonder how this affects people with compromised immune systems.

And here we see the question all Soylenters will be asked by everyone.

Do fish oil supplements contain mercury Found this article. Interestingly, analyses of several nonprescription fish oil supplements for the presence of mercury found that of all the brands tested, none of them contained mercury and may even be safer…
