hahahaha sounds about right.A scale is just a number If that's the number you're chasing, stick to low-glycemic carbs and stay away from them when you have the option. Soylent or something similar sounds pretty ideal for your situation. I just took…

How about the Mio drops (or other equivalent drink enhancer)?They are pretty strong, so should not take much to flavor a glass of Soylent.

Rob's tweet stated that he looks forward to Stephen becoming a Soylent Pioneer.. which makes me think they're going to give him Soylent to try. And that's what concerns me... I don't know if Colbert will remain objective enough about it to give an honest…

Absolutely. From my reading, the Soylent mix hits all the FDA's RDAs perfectly which is awesome. I'm not a firm believer that the FDA has a firm grasp of nutrition and am even more skeptical that every human on the planet (or even most of us) have the…

That's an absolutely valid point. You shouldn't avoid owning it. But when you say the entire other side of the conversation, you spell out that you see this as an argument with teams, that you're on one, and that you think anyone not on your side is…

Yay! I have problems!

Thanks!I know convenience is one of the biggest selling points and I see it but I'm a DIYer at heart. I know I can buy a pretty good pizza or even an awesome one. But I also know I can MAKE an awesome one for a lot less cash and a bit more work. I'm…

Welcome! I can provide something for Q2. I used to do DIY soylent and there were two factors for me deciding to go with the Soylent formula instead of DIY soylent. Convenience [Haz family, not a lot of free time] Was always questioning measurements…

Yeah, I've stopped going to this particular General Practitioner , as he seems incredibly bored all the time, is never seen to do any research, etc. I've had other GPs quote my bmi ideal weight before (160lbs) But I'm in the same boat as you. I'm 26,…

The biggest benefit of DIY is that it's usually a lot cheaper. Of course, it's more work and has higher upfront costs, but if you're in it for the long-term, it's a way to save money. Secondly, if you are really sensitive and have trouble finding a pre-prepared…

I do single servings but yes, use half the recommended water and replace the rest with juice.

do you mean half the pitcher water replaced with pomegranate juice?

Come to think of it, that explains it perfectly. I recall watching Glenn Greenwald on Colbert Report. Nothing serious about mass surveillance was discussed. But then again, this show is on Comedy Central. Why are we expecting something serious? I just…

OK so here's the back story. Skip this part to get right to the question I am not a fitness nut but I've been a lot more health/wellness centric than most people. I've done a lot of single-user (me) research on how different proteins and mixes impact…

I have some fruit trees in my back yard so have been trying a few blends. 6 blackberries into a single serving. - GreatReplace half water with pomegranate juice - Good" with lemon juice - Terrible (didn't expect it to be good but had to try)Still need…

Age and height aren't enough to determine how much you should weigh. If your doctor is citing BMI as a reference, you need to find a new doc. Seriously. The number of variables that go into "ideal weight" is staggering and height and age are only vaguely…

I think those sodium levels are wrong. I think it should be around 3.1 g of Sodium. ? But I'm new.

I got two notices of shipment for "4WK" boxes, on my reorder/subscription. I'm wondering whether one's a mistake, or whether they magically figured out shipping to couples. (Since they only charged me for one box, I'm guessing the former. ) Also interesting:…

My guide lists John Waters as the guest, not Rob? Ack, nevermind. Turns out there is a second one on late: This is Time Warner, 11:30 PM EDT.

Got my five weeks delivered just now. Seems they've really been rushing to get things shipped. The little flaps on the boxes of oil blend weren't folded down to keep the bottles in place, and so they were all but knocking around loose in each week supply…

Does anyone have any spotify playlist suggestions for while I wait for my soylent to ship? It might be a while...

Indeed. This is basically what I was saying. RFI blends and "packetizes".The paper company boxes them. Saying that it appears on the surface that the paper company, the fulfillment center, seems to be waiting for the next shipment from the co-packer,…

Last year my son had food poisoning. 3 of us had the same food the day before and he was the only one to get violently ill. He threw up for nearly 3 hours straight then nothing. He was weak but recovered within 24 hours. When I talked with his doc about…

You may be surprised at the wit that hides in that mild mannered Mr. Rhinehart. He is quite the clever guy.

I don't have my Soylent yet (it should be here tomorrow). I do have a nice blender, and thought about using it to mix it up, but I know from making smoothies there can be quite a bit of the beverage left clinging to the sides after pouring it out. Is…

We're not very good at this.

I've always heard that the process of distilling oil from fish eliminates any mercury contamination. Plus mercury doesn't really bond to lipids in the first place, it gets into proteins. What you should be asking about is dioxin levels. That stuff is…

I would say the make up of guests is fairly tilted toward Hollywood types, but Rob certainly won't be the first entrepreneur on the show. I would temper any expectations you have for hearing anything new or interesting during this interview as it is…

Anyone ..... anyone ..... Bueller..........

it's in the same style as "The Daily Show" and "Last Week Tonight". I recommend giving any of those shows a look on youtube they can be entertaining and "informational"

Some of the particulate will NOT dissolve in water. I've found that using a blender (mine's a blendtec, which may have something to do with it) produces the most consistently smooth soylent. Try a blender if you have one. The more powerful the blender,…

Im certain colbert is gonna throw some zingers that rob isnt gonna have the best retort for. But bad publicity is better than no publicity

I always start the blender first and then remove lid to add any powder. If you add the powder slowly while the blender is on you avoid any sticking to the sides or bottom.

For some reason when i try purchasing this on amazon it only shows the multivitamin and the corn meal. Doesnt show the other ingredients :(

I'm really excited but at the same time, i'm a bit worried how the exchange between Rob and Stephen is going to play out. Personality- wise, they're total opposites with Rob being the cold, calculating type, and Stephen being ironic and satirical. Also,…

Interesting, my memory must be worse than I thought because I thought Rob said it was regulated as a supplement. Good to know, though. I wonder what the specific line is between the two. How does the FDA know to regulate it as one or the other?

@gambit Thanks. So it's unusual to have a tech entrepreneur there ?

No, my pitcher lid has a removable center cap to add things in as the blender is operating, that is how I add the powder to the mixing water.

Yep, thats all i do. Thanks for the link since i didnt thank you proper.

Well I ran everything through the dishwasher, even the non-dishwasher-safe bottle (which I soaked in soap and bleach first to be sure). I wonder if it was a micronutrient overdose as @Tordenskjold said, maybe potassium was part of it? I did feel weak…

achemerys said: Anyone thought about bouillon cubes for flavoring? I'll add that to the list for my crazyperson experiment thread - I have some bullion powder from back when I was a slave to making food all the time, and it might not turn out too bad.…

Indeed, the RSVP stainless glasses were from a thread of mine. They're working pretty well. Maybe just a little bigger than I need them to be... if I could get just like a 10 or 20% smaller version, that would be perfect. But it's a minor gripe. Honestly,…

wait, you start the blender with the lid off and then add the powder?

That supports the idea that the bottles getting banged/shaken around in the box is part of the problem. The 1-week box is more likely to get pitched/thrown on/off trucks by delivery workers trying to work fast; the 1-month box is less throwable.

Interesting, I think I'm going to have to open all my boxes to check. The one week I have opened the bottles had a slight film of oil on them but that was all (I think).

This is interesting - I wonder if this does apply to DIY as well? And if it makes any changes in export/import? Because like I said, customs authorities that were involved in my shipment treated it as a supplement.

It's a left-leaning political and news satire show. The host, Stephen Colbert (hence the name), typically spends the first half or two thirds of the show as a "right wing" caricature discussing the news and politics of the day and then at the end interviews…

I have the same issue. I sent an email to info@soylent asking them about my missing pitcher but I'm still waiting on a reply from them...

Everyone is different of course, and some people bore easily and need a lot more variety than others. Personally, I've felt no need at all to flavor my Soylent other than curiosity (which led me to my Soylent jamba juice smoothies which are AMAZING).…

I once had dinner with 2 friends in the same restaurant. I spent 3 days throwing up, another friend spent 1 day, the third one felt sick for a couple of hours and then was fine.

Many people are just malcontent, and will never be satisfied by anything. They will take any perceived slight as a chance to complain, in the hopes that someone will come along and give them candy to make them be quiet. They will deny this thoroughly…

I just received my 5 weeks of Soylent. It was packaged as a large 1-month box (which when you pop it open turns into 4 separate 1-week boxes) and also a 1-week box on its own. The 1-week box's oil bottles were slimy/oily as if they had been leaking, while…

For those of us who are not in the US, can you share in a few words what is the Colbert Report ?

Don't have a link to the liquid smoke. Just picked up at the grocery store where you would find ketchup, bbq sauce etc. Yes the powdered PB does add less calories and fat than full on creamy peanut butter. The powdered has about 45 calories and 1.5 gm…

I've been on official soylent for a week today, and so far my method has been to use a blender. Shaking alone didn't do it for me. I add 1 liter of water to the blender pitcher and start the blender on mix Then I add the soylent powder through the opening…

I am seeking out variations and I haven't even tried any yet. For me, at least, all it means is that trying out different flavors is appealing, not necessarily that there is anything wrong with plain soylent.

Is this people getting bored of Soylent? I'm a little confused. What are the reasons people are seeking various additives for the blend? Does this say anything about Soylent itself? I'm still waiting for mine. Is it something I will understand better…

If you've been following nutrition (or Silicon Valley) news, you've probably heard of Soylent, the milky meal replacement boasting all the nutrients you need—in portable, swiggable form. Soylent CEO and founder Rob Rhinehart, who I interviewed a year…

Hey @JulioMiles, @MattCauble, another idea, even quicker/cheaper than putting shrinkbands on individual bottles: Maybe just wrap a rubber band around the seven bottles (seven round bottles make a nice hexagon shape with one in the center). Or use tape,…

http://www.soylent.me/#about Soylent is a food product (classified as a food, not a supplement, by the FDA) designed for use as a staple meal by all adults. Each serving of Soylent provides maximum nutrition with minimum effort. Does this mean that…

Strictly speaking, yes a pound of fat is roughly equal to 3500 kcals. But the factors in metabolic rates are far from understood and your rate of caloric burn is not constant: your body uses hormone signaling to regulate everything from overall energy…

4th option, some sort of overdose on a mineral or vitamin

Just got my first order this morning! After waiting a couple hours, my first glass to seemed to settle and I was left with a bit of what fell to the bottom, and the last few sips were noticeably thicker. Now I am drinking out of http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005EGY4IE/ref=pe_385040_30332200_TE_item…

Please comment, this is my first recipe that ive tried adapting to myself.

Not particularly beat up. There weren't any holes or things in the boxes, just a bunch of scruff marks.

Similar thing here. Out of 5 weeks worth, 2 bottles looked like 1\10th seeped out and 1 bottle lost about half its contents. None of them appeared to be opened or lose, more like the oil leaked out. Judging by the packaging, these poor boxes had a rough…

Then, in the lulls, half the threads on this forum return to the familiar "complaining"/"complaining about complaining" cycle

He's right, european customs authorities treated it as dietary supplement when TNT imported my first shipment of 100%FOOD to Austria.

Im not sure how effective it is. I am by no means an expert.

I was thinking katadyn tablets. They are safer than iodine tablets and the like and they have a shelf life of 5 years.

Just dont starve yourself. Keep hydrated. Exercise when and if you can. If you feel bad see a doctor.

I was planning on starting my flavor experimenting this week. My wife and I have already added half a banana into a serving and it definitely is a welcome change, I can only imagine adding PB and a banana. But I am a black pepper fiend when I eat traditional…

I'll be giving it the rest of the week before I draw any conclusions. But I'll let you know if I can avoid these symptoms using stevia in my custom recipe. It would be good to know if sucralose is really the culprit...

Out of the 4 months I received, I had two loose oil bottles. I just figured it was an early shipping issue. Anyway, I sat those two bottles aside, and checked them all. I noticed that all of the oil bottles would make a slight sucking sound when…

Getting the biggest customers first makes logical sense. Who would be reordering from the soylent store first? Big order customers or small orders? Its called common sense.

Based upon the posts last week, it seems like orders ship in large batches. I'd guess the processing plant makes a load of pouches, the pouches get freight shipped to another location (in Socal, I believe), and then the individual pouches, oil, etc get…

Well if this is true then I am going to be very sad and will end up selling my Soylent. I'll give it a few more days and then take a break if I'm still having the same issues.

You can always email info@soylent.me for a refund, and then order once they are officially shipping new orders.

I was 6'2 averaging 278lbs for the past few months. While I do recognize that this is mostly water weight and one simply can't continue to lose weight at this rate, it's nice to see and a great motivator for me.

Yeah, Until we hear back from Soylent guys, use the full bottles first! (roughly 71.2 grams in weight). Rancid oil can make you very sick.

i am pretty sure we all know what we are "getting into" when we purchase Soylent @darcagn. i only ordered a week like a lot of people because i wanted to test the waters. that shows an incredible amount of faith in a company to purchase months of a…

I started eating Soylent yesterday, and have definitely been experiencing some lightheadedness, as well as my usual "too many carbs" reaction. It's similar to what I experienced on People Chow, but at that point the biggest culprit seemed to be the masa…

I have been consuming People Chow part-time. At the very least I whip up a full batch and divide it in half, consuming each half while I am at work (e.g. 1/2 Monday, 1/2 Tuesday) and eat traditional food for dinner. Yesterday I went to work and consumed…

Snowman said: Another important take on this is Soylent, DIY or otherwise, does not fall under the category of "food" but is instead a "supplement" since it is made up of supplements. I do not have a link handy but I am pretty sure Rob made a blog…

I was 6'5 280 or 285.

Man, I can't tell if shipments have slowed dramatically or if the majority of what is shipping right now are not forum users... Almost seems like they are waiting for the next shipment from their packer to arrive at their fulfillment center.

I just added some Welch's Orange/Pineapple/Apple juice (all 3 in 1 bottle) and it is pretty good indeed.

I just got a hold of 1 month of Soylent.If there are any Swedes out there that are interested I'm willing to part with a few bags.Unfortunately it wasn't cheap so I'm not giving them away for free.PM me if interested.

Run home Charlie! You've got a golden ticket! You've got a golden chance to wake your wayyyy!
