Looking good Chris!

My Soylent arrives Thursday. It feels surreal that after over a year (I ordered in the first 30 minutes of the crowdfunding campaign), I'll finally be sipping the official stuff Thursday night. So my question to you fellow long term waiters who have already…

Een kruidvat 3-6-9 tablet van nog geen 1.5g bevat geen 17g omega 6. ;) Daarnaast zit er wel erg veel zink in dit recept. Als ik mijn persoonlijke voedingswaarden profiel er overheen haal dan zit dit zelfs boven de maximale toegestane waarde / dag. Wel…

makkura said: The last few comments are suggesting immersion blenders [I believe that's what they're called] and I'll have to look into them as mine is already too small for a days mix at a time and got a bit messy. My Vitamix has a big enough carafe…

I ordered 2 weeks then added 4 before the cutoff, but still haven't received an email for either the pitcher or the Soylent... I'm worried something is wrong. can you calm my nerves?

I didn't order 2 months, I'm a 2 weeker, I want to try it before I commit to more then that. The reason I want to know is because the last couple of batches have all taken about 1 week for them to do, so if they keep up the pattern then the 2 week orders…

Why not just hire a personal chef to cook up perfectly balanced meals if you're ok with throwing away $500 because lazy.

To Recap: Yesterday: Too lazy to give away, sell on Ebay, or drop off at UPS to send to a member of a forum. Today: Found the motivation to carefully display and photograph (with proof of ID) current Soylent cache, before creating a new imgur account…

If you ordered 2 months of soylent before the cut date, and havnt got shipping details or product yet... Then your suppose to mail then at info@soylent.me I believe the mail was

Shame to hear you're just throwing it away would have loved to try some and form my own opinion. I think most of us are aware of Soylent causing extra gas for the first period depending on what your diet was before... But people also mention increased…

the blog update is older than the twitter update, as such I would argue that the twitter page may provide smaller, but more accurate updates.

Possibly. Aside from a wider variety of flavors, I'm not sure what advantages his stuff might have. I can definitely see my girlfriend's sister (currently waiting on her post-April order) wanting something with a little more street-cred amongst her yoga…

My apologies. Now looks more legit.

I just got a box in the Netherlands. No problems.

I initiated a subscription back May 6th. My understanding is that this would then become active once my first order shipped (May 29th). So here's the question: When I subscribed, the system wasn't set up to add an address. At the time, Julio said they…

CarltonLemley said: I suspect some people currently intrigued by Soylent will gravitate towards other alternatives that better fit their needs in time. Like spaceman's blend? CarltonLemley said:

I'm in Massachusetts so same general area. I guess a week for it to send isn't unreasonable, just different from what I thought they originally said.

Thanks Melkins2, also post is updated with pic.

Is there a reason the blogs most recent post says they are shipping 2 month orders but the twitter says 1 month orders? Does this mean they have started the 1 month and are still finishing up 2 month orders? or did they just forget to update the blog?…

COPIED FROM THIS THREAD: That's true, but there are so many unique factors (super-easy, 100% filling, really cheap, nutritionally complete, etc) about Soylent that there are currently a lot of people who may only be putting up with Soylent because it…

dennis_v said: What shipping times are people seeing? My 4 week order shipped on 6/6. It departed Newark, CA on 6/7 at 4am and that is the last update on FedEx. I assume it is in a truck driving across the country (I live in Connecticut). I was…

After two weeks on only Soylent, I've found two factors that can help to keep the grit to a minimum. 1) Oil - NEVER add the oil to the powder. Only add it after you've mixed the powder with water. 2) Temperature - After reading about my experience,…

Ambronite is not a "competitor" by any stretch of the imagination. Its $239 on indiegogo (a $10 discount) for just 7.5 days worth of calories (15000 calories). If people are freaking out over a complete product for $300 a month then they are really going…

I'm in a similar situation to you. I'll be adding protein powder to mine. My primary goals are hitting my protein requirements while keeping my calories in check. I wrote a calculator to help me get the ratio of Soylent/Protein powder. It may be useful…

I mixed today's Soylent with warm tap water [my water filter specifically said something about using only cold water through it] with my blender.It was messier than usual and came up short when I poured it into the pitcher so I had to add some more water.In…

What shipping times are people seeing? Mine supposedly started shipping yesterday (6/10) but it says it wont get here until next Tuesday (6/17). I thought shipping was supposed to be 3 days. Is Fedex just over estimating to be safe?

Does anyone in Europe has struggled to receive 100% FOOD? My order is stopped at customs in Madrid by TNT and ask me the following: "Please send the Following Necessary documents for the release: Prior Health Operating License installation of medical…

Ambronite will never be a real competitor. They're geared towards the high-end market more than anything else.

Is it really still a competitor if it can't be used for every meal throughout the day, though? If it's only 500 calories, and it has over 50% of your protein & half your fiber needs, is it expecting you to make up the rest in fat and sugar alone in your…

I started at 258 and lost 15 pounds in the first 10 days, though I suspect 99% of that was the lower sodium levels lowering the amount of water I'm retaining. I've been 243 at for the past 5 days.

The fact that you believe this guy is legit makes me chuckle. Yeah, you believe his farts no longer stink after stopping soylent? LOL

@JulioMiles How about an estimate on when the 1 week orders will be shipped in general

oh shit, dat kan hier niet (denk ik) ;-).....kun je mij even mailen? (poging36 at gmail.com)

I mean u do realize u have to join to post. Who cares what his first post was. He's pissed!

Going to order these ingredients soon and try it out. By the way the Sainsbury's links are not working, but the products can be easily found just by searching on the site.

UPDATE: Its been a bit of a slow new week, but Time ran an article on a Soylent competitor yesterday: Soylent Has Some Competition—And We Taste-Tested It

Any international buyers should get their money back and wait. Show then that taking your money with no intention of giving you a product in a timely manner is not ok, and almost constitutes stealing

Agree, troll-dar went off around post 5.

I regret to inform you {and me} that my wife was messing with me and I didn't get the dang Soylent....Needless to say, I took away all her batteries and switched her reg coffee to decaf and some other things I can't comfortably mention here....But she…

They finally shut down international subscription orders. Now they need to filter through every single order and start refunding people.

Yep...Eating disorder...

@DrRighteous I'm right in the same boat. 6'2 260lbs Aria says weight plumetting, body fat % skyrocketing haha.1 pouch Soylent w/ oil, 2 cups coffee, 12 cups water yesterday260 is a bit of a balloon weight for me, I expect this to slow down drastically…

ruipacheco said: Also, this comes all the way from San Fran, I live in Northern Europe. Shipping costs almost doubled the price of the package. Can you not setup a reseller in Europe? @Spaceman is already working on a more convenient way for his European…

I agree with spinkick - my Cuisinart hand blender (stick type) works very well - and makes blending in fruit (berries, etc.) particularly easy. No cleanup hassles like with a traditional blender.

This is my review: http://discourse.soylent.me/t/just-received-my-spaceman-food/14156 Spoiler's: it's awesome.

Look at his join time, he joined just to make this post about throwing away 2 months of soylent. This is a troll, folks. Stop begging and giving him attention.

And I have to say, it's the dog's bollocks. I ordered 7 days of chocolate, and just finished the first bottle. The chocolate is good, the fiber makes it filling. Instead of shaking it in the bottle as the instructions said I used the shaker I take to…

OP is 100% a troll and if he's not then I hope you know when you need to fat it's because you need to take a shit.

Zou je mij een persoonlijk berichtje kunnen sturen, zodat we e-mailadres uit kunnen wisselen?

I ordered 2 weeks in December 2013. No emails or shipments yet, but I'll bet I'll have it by the end of June. I'm really not worried about it. Think of it this way--you dropped that $70 so long ago it's basically forgotten, so you'll have a free week…

Hard to respect someone who uses sarcasm and doesn't understand something so simple.

Like many others, the gas was pretty eye watering for a few days but is has completely passed. Beano worked for me during the worst of the first few days but I've not needed it for a while now. There is still a strange quality to my gas but that is…

So, I prepared a meal with 50% of your macros for breakfast and after 2.5h I was starving. Is this because it's a drink or am I missing something? I always have the impression that I'm starving myself to death. And it doesn't help that being low carb…

JAP! And the game begins with a racial slur. Not good, guys. I blame Rosa Labs.

@unsynchronizedHave you seen the http://www.lifesaversystems.com/ units ?Best water filtration i have seen. Easy to use also.

I think several people have sussed out that Mr. SS is not being entirely truthful in his original post, but I would like to take 2 minutes and caution people against arranging a meeting or giving him personal information about you. The protestations…

I wrote to a reporter at SVD to get some Soylent notice in the press here.It would be fun to get some hype going here in little old Svedala

I'll give that a try with my next batch.Thanks for the tip

Got mine yesterday and had the first sip today.Definitely a gritty taste but I expect I'll get used to it. Not first in the EU but I'm waging the first in Sweden Btw, It seems insanely hard to get hold of a Takeya pitcher here in the EU I had to write…

I'm getting ready to do QuidNYC's super food diy soylent recipe which I read makes for 1.5 - 2 litres per day, do you guys have 2L water bottles you carry around? I was thinking maybe those [protein bottles](http://shop.usana.com/shop/cart/ProductDetails?ProductID=752.010007#.U5e87dGvBTc)…

Hi! Can I find these ingredients in Celeiro's stores? Or should I buy them from Bulk Powders and Nature's Best?

Hello there! Sorry for the super late reply! You can easily get the Oat Bran from Defence Colony market (that's in New Delhi)You can also get whey protein isolate at multiple places across India. Checkout healthkart.comThe maltodextrin requires a minimum…

Another theory...When we get hungry, and then prepare to eat a tasty meal, our digestive juices get cranked up. When I'm REALLY hungry, and I eat meals that normally cause bad smelling gas (beef/eggs etc) it's not nearly as bad as when I eat these foods…

I tried people chow 3.0.1 today for the first time. I threw up after finishing 16oz of it. Unfortunately the texture was too much for me. I was wondering if anyone has had this experience or if I am just a wuss. I think I will just have to wait for a…

A lot of people think the gas is caused by the fiber, and that it will "pass" after a short time on Soylent. The bad smell people have been mentioning could be the sulphur content of the rice protein. Rice protein is very high in methionine. I know…

Lultards. They are everywhere.

http://diy.soylent.me/recipes/big-active-chow I've modified my recipe some. Check out the notes and ask any questions. Please give me some suggestions! I want to buy all the ingredients soon and don't want to botch the recipe and have $450 of ingredients…

SoylentSomeone said: Plus all I ever did was put up my experiences and I get attacked because I'm not giving it glowing reviews. This is not why you're being attacked. You're being attacked because you propose throwing away five hundred dollars' worth…

I also agree, why perform a lot of copy/paste in order to know the correct metric values.

Seriously get a grip, it was a throwaway comment. People look to get offended at anything and everything these days. He should try living in England - god knows when we will be getting our Soylent...

My gas odor is definitely changed for the worse. I'm hoping this isn't the new normal but quite possibly could be.

I'm typically a 4, but with Soylent the grit going down is also noticeable on the way out. This is unlike anything I've experienced before.

Ok I have noticed that it is a bit rough coming out, similar to passing sand. I think the fiber must be about 150 grit size because I can definitely notice it. As long as it doesn't progressively get more painful, it's bearable to me. But I can see if…

Have you tried any of the gas aids? While I've not tried them myself, I have seen a few folks recommending GasX and Beano. Hopefully this will pass for you, most accounts say that it will. I'm thankful to not be having the same issues.

Neebs57 said: Nice, will be waiting to hear how it compares for you. I looked at sunflower and safflower oil, but the omega 6:3 ratio was not comparable to fish oil, so it looks like I better just go straight flax and not know what other things taste…

How long has it been since you started Soylent?

The gas had gone down since i started. But the volume of my flatulence is not the issue, it's the scent. Even the smallest fart is extremely noticeable now because of the awful stench. I can't go forward being fearful of even the smallest, tiniest fart…

It came today! Yaaay! I mixed it up and gave it about an hour and a half, maybe 1:45, in the fridge before trying some. I liked it and don't think it's all that gritty—but I've done some protein powder stuff before, so maybe that's the difference.…

I assumed that since Rosa Labs is using rice protein and other food products in their recipe, they would be required to label Soylent as a food.

Hey guys,I'm at the tail end of the process of getting my listing on powderedfoods.com but I wanted to call it out here because I will have the opportunity to use a commercial kitchen all of this weekend so if anyone wants to try any grok chow I would…

Nope, no Backerkit stuff. I wanted to see if I liked it before I invested in too much swag. BTW? I like it.

Ok so the odor of the gas has definitely changed for the worse an I'm on day 5. I'm eating one conventional meal per day and the rest is Soylent. I wonder if this is just the new normal . The good news is it seems to be manageable so no surprise attacks.

Going 100% Soylent for a few days has also caused me burning, pain, etc. I've experienced this both with official Soylent and DIY soylent. The symptoms point to hemorrhoids (check out Wikipedia, WebMD, etc). I'm not sure what would be causing this since…

I think what is most likely is that a large portion of people who just got their orders had their subscription bumped up ahead of first time shipments. People were probably worried about running out and re-upped earlier then needed.

The same happened for me, but with fedex tracking. For whatever reason, they seem to be generating 2 by mistake. 1 actually works now, the other does not. I wouldn't be worried, or expecting 2 months, just looks like a glitch in their system. I'm…

My 6 weeks order hasn't shipped. Sent an email to info@soylent.me @juliomiles.Would like a status on my order as well,please.

I'm fairly certain that @mrcodehpr01 is not trolling. However, name calling -- e.g. "idiot" -- is frowned upon in this forum. We are strictly held to the standard of engaging one another with respect. Here is what I believe mrcodehpr01 is saying.…

Obvious troll is obvious.

@soyLATE @melkins2 Both your orders are confirmed and will be shipped once we reach them in the shipping queue. We are currently shipping 4-week orders, which will be followed by 3, 2 and 1-week orders. At this time we cannot provide ship date estimates…

I would also like to know the status of my order @juliomiles

This post was flagged by the community and is temporarily hidden.

Might as well tag @juliomiles just for kicks. I would guess he has seen this thread by now

can someone help me on how to check the status of my order thanks
