I suspect its more about securing the bottles better in the box than the bottles themselves. Once fedex bounced it around a good bit, the little guys didn't stand a chance.

Yes, I had a bit of leakage. Lids seemed not screwed tight enough.

I also weigh myself in the morning and the 7 lbs is conservative. Not that I'm not happy! I'm a good 80 lbs overweight (since getting married hehe).

Mine all came in fine, but I still can't figure out why it wasn't a mylar pouch or something of oil instead of an expensive bottle.

Lets talk about gas.The first 3-5 days of gas were absurd. Oh, dear, god. Stock the hell up on Gas-X if you have a date and take it like 3 hours before and don't have any Soylent for at least 3 hours before that. Beano should work well but that will simply…

Yeah I'm not really following how that one would work. How does that include people without letters for their avatar? It does seem like a fairly amusing enterprise... =)

Took me a little while to get the hang of as well, so you're not alone. I'm still not wild about it, but have gotten used to it enough at least.

Yeah sorry, that was future me stepping in and hijacking my web browser.

So last night my headache got much worse and I ended up sick in the middle of the night. I drank a little but of water with a pinch of salt and went back to bed. When I woke up a few hours later my headache was better and I didn't feel quite so sick.…

I'm starting day 3 (thanks to @bryce_leo !) and fitbit says I've lost 3.5 lbs. I only weigh myself in the morning. I noticed my shorts fitting better today, too. edit: I'm on 100% Soylent w/ oil diet and haven't exercised at all

To me the much more meaningful metric is shape. I lost about 3% of my body weight in our first month on Soylent, which is really nothing to get overly excited about. But, I also lost maybe a half inch (wasn't actually measuring unfortunately) as all…

exercising while on a calorie deficit won't do terrible things to your body. that's how cutting weight works. 400 is on the higher side so you might feel a little sluggish but thats it. if you want more calories....eggs.

weigh yourself throughout the day to get a better comparison your weight can easily fluctuate that much normally. You won't lose 3 pounds of fat or muscle in 3 days taking in 2k+ calories

As far as using them to displace soup kitchens it is unlikely that will happen any time soon. Soup kitchens provide meals for between $1 and $1.50, as a baseline The Soup Kitchen Inc. can provide meals for $1.16 each (in 2011 at 600 meals per day). Soup…

Hey All, A few of my week shipments appear to have oil bottles that opened during transit. Some of them are near empty. Naturally I've emailed info@ to get replacements, however I was wondering if this experience is common in these early shipments.…

Well, On day 3 of Soylent, feeling fine (really neutral in fact), but just weighed myself and I've lost 3lbs! Although I certainly am overweight, I never really looked at Soylent for weight loss, but more for my digestive issues (IBS). Feedback?…

...en hoe gaat het? Ik ben benieuwd of je er nog hoofdpijn van krijgt?...ik zou het wel uit willen proberen namelijk.

I plan to supplement Official Soylent by adding hard rhino whey protein isolate on days I workout.

I experienced the same thing. Started drinking Soylent on Saturday. Sunday I got hit with a massive headache. Between the Soylent and all the other water I should have been plenty hydrated. Hoping you guys are right and it's not a persistent problem cause…

Not at the current price, to be sure!

Looks like sammiches.

Except they're not the same. Note the telltale "not" in the second statement. If you still think they're the same, type it out and tell us why, because the rest of us see them as different.

That doesn't explain the naps.

You've got fairly dangerous levels of omega-3 (Should not be more than 3mg a day - you have 3x that amount) And the iron and manganese are way too high as well. Could do with some work

Wet mixing a weeks worth? Yeah probably not a good idea. Mixing the ingredients all together into a dry powder mix? Works great.

Are you Dutch? If so, where do you buy the coconut flour?

We're using oil for calories. 1 to 5 tablespoons a days doesn't seem like much.

In addition to any settling, I think the official shelf life of constituted Soylent is only around 2 days refrigerated... making up a full weeks worth goes pretty well past that.

I've seen a few people doing this and making 1 week at a time but to me it seems this wouldn't work because wont the heavier products sink to the bottom and the lighter ones to the top etc etc? Also you daily Saylent will never have the correct amount…

maybe you should listen to your own advice

@Spaceman Yes, a double protein version would be awesome.

In amazon site sometimes the default supplier they show as default dont ship outside of UK, just check the list of suppliers and there are usually a few shipping ( might be more expensive ). I had the exact problems there, finally got one supplier and…

@Spaceman Thanks for keeping me updated. I would definitely buy a Double Protein version too.

This is prompted by the ['Why I will never use the official soylent thread'](http://www.reddit.com/r/soylent/comments/27ockj/why_i_love_the_idea_of_soylent_but_refuse_to/), but I felt like this warrants a post of its own, because the discussion was more…

More than 20000 Soylented at least maybe even 30000

Valid question it seems... Really they ought to make a complete breakdown of everything in Soylent... Like how much Lead, Bromime or Mercury is in Soylent? everything is relevant... Not just the nutritional facts

Getting proper amounts of zinc should boost the immune system and so the improvements in reduced allergies seems likely. Ever hear of Cold-eze? The secret ingredient is zinc and its supposed to reduce the length of a cold by 50%. I use it prior to Soylent…

That's actually a legitimate question. I have a friend who just had to detox hardcore from eating too much fish (eating it a couple times a week). Seeing the crazy health changes in her makes me inclined to wonder this myself.

mark1 said: I think this is one of those cases where a $200 legal consult can save you 50k in fees down the road. @mark1 - you already saved half of that $200 with your advice, thanks. But I'm faithfully think that we're as the whole peer-to-peer…

All good thanks mate appreciate you taking time to reply helps heaps cheers

How much water do you mix with each servings mate?

@vitusavitus - we follow this FDA instruction for our label:http://www.fda.gov/food/guidanceregulation/guidancedocumentsregulatoryinformation/labelingnutrition/ucm064928.htm I will not argue what is better more or less protein, it's a matter of personal…

Lolol how could this be a troll thing? I guess I'm the only one who clearly reads two statements that are the same.

Obvious troll is obvious.

If you also don't see that 2 statements are stated twice for no reason then you have problems.

What doesn't make sense about it? Maybe if it were rephrased? If you have never ordered Soylent before, you'll get it in 10-12 weeks after the date you ordered. If you have ordered Soylent before and already received a shipment, you'll receive new…

The CEO clearly stated on reddit that he was bald before using Soylent!!!

Like many others, I saw the blog post on 4/23 and added to my order. I added a month to my original order, bringing my total order to 5 weeks. They said as long as the email and shipping addresses matched your order would be consolidated. Whelp...5 week…

I saw it in my unread so I assume it was new O-o This forum is Chinese to me.

Lol, over 9,000 most likely.

Just wanted to point something out that makes no sense. Shipping estimates: New customers: 10-12 weeks after order placed Existing customers who have received their first Soylent orders: 1-2 weeks Existing customers who have not received their first…

@melkins2 Here's some advice Melkins. You're dealing with rabid fanboys right now. They are no different than fanboys of a TV show or video game or movie or anything else. you aren't going to win, you're just going to be labeled as a troll and a…

hey, you know so far 100% of the data I've seen says so. Within 48 hours, even.

I suppose that is true, which is why I proposed the secondary game, where everyone can play, using the lettered avatars.

Trouble is, some of us have avatar pics instead so... kinda spoils the fun!

Scoop out a measured amount of powder and test small amounts of the seasoning that way. When you find a balance that works, you can scale it up to a full bag and be somewhat assured it won't completely suck. Ish.

LOL you just resurrected a nearly 1 year old thread.

Over 100,000 Soylented...

I'm sure he's super busy and probably will be for couple months if not more.

Has anybody come across liquid taco flavoring? I'm --THIS-- close to just trying a taco seasoning packet and ruining a Soylent pouch.

What do you guys think about Soylent being used to feed the poor instead of other foods? It sure cost less to transport and move and can be easily made unlike other foods that require preparation and are bigger and much heavier.

Soylent is proven to remove any virus within it's first week of use.

It would be awesome if we had a counter that showed the amount of orders for Soylent just so we could know how big of a impact this is going to be.

Mystify said: You make it sound so simple. Oh, just have an idea, get some money, get a factory, make it and ship it. No problem. Yeah, that's pretty much it. The biggest problems are the money and having a good enough idea. Mystify said:

Well, any data I have is pretty well contaminated by the fact that I picked up my friend's stomach virus within 24 hours of starting Soylent - it's really a lot more likely that the fatigue was related to that, haha.

Your body isn't used to getting the correct amount of everything

Hey you got crazy tired the first day, too? I had two "first days" with Soylent, and both of them I needed naps in the late afternoon. I never need naps, but this was an ultimatum style from my body "take a nap or you will fall asleep while walking"…

So, we have avatars with letters in them and on the users column there are 5 places displaying avatars... Lets see what 5 letter words we can make there, shall we? If that turns out to be not fun, how about we build words out of all the avatars from…

Cheap microwaveable crap and fast food is something I am really hoping is something I never have to put in my body ever again after Soylent.

Eat your Soylent and go buy some cheap microwave burritos

Will we need fridges anymore? Lol, Just thought of that! Beer + Soylent = man food.

How would the placebo effect, effect allergies? It's a reaction to things in the air not your brain.

Hello everybody. I am a freegan (vegan, rather low carb when nobody´s throwing food away, taking only B12 from the vegan society at the moment).Right now I eat what other people throw out to compensate for being a little poor (and yes, some anti-consumerist…

Hey guess what gang? I just today figured out that my second reorder of Soylent, has once again come with the fish oil blend even though it was a vegan re-order. Go figure! @JulioMiles has already been notified, but now I have 56 bottles of fish oil…

@makesoylent-14d2cd7c637050123fc1f21047ee2c0c:disqus Where did potatopotato say don't buy this? I'm interested in this formula and I'm looking for insight.

Interesting idea... I don't know much about how these things interact or behave, so I'm not sure how I would let the alcohol evaporate... just let the vanilla sit for a while? So I think you're suggesting I add the vanilla to the water that I use to…

I'm sure once everything is sorted out and they hire everyone they need we'll have lots of flavors to choose from I would like dark chocolate.

It's super easy to carry and store unlike other food Perfect for traveling to other countries where food is sketchy.

I've read many posts that others have not received their starter kit. Must be a issue with the computers they're using.

You should start feeling better the headaches shouldn't last long.

I'm not used to this type of forum. Fixed.

Thanks so much! I didn't even think about that. Honestly, I probably never got enough potassium. I'm suddenly really dizzy right now too, so I'll try that.

Could easily be the potassium, if you weren't getting a full dose before suddenly adding in the RDA can give severe headaches. To avoid it you can gradually increase your potassium over several days, maybe a week.

Is anyone else experiencing headaches with Soylent? I just started yesterday and I've been drinking plenty of water, I believe. I have had headaches with carb withdrawal before, so I thought that might be it, but usually it doesn't happen so soon. Does…

You're right, sorry - I had already entered this info into the Official Shipment Tracker: http://diy.soylent.me/shipment-tracker so was so excited I forgot to include it again here. 1) 8 weeks2) regular, non-vegan3) Ordered May 21 20134) Greater Washington…

It might help distribute the vanilla flavor a bit more so you wouldn't have to add as much. I know from another post that you added a lot until all you could taste was the alcohol. Might it be possible to add in the vanilla extract and let the alcohol…

This thread doesn't really belong in the "DIY Soylent" category. I'd recommend moving it.

Dear Santa, I know it is early but even with your Santa magic you're gonna need the extra time. All I want for Christmas this year is several tons of brown rice protein past customs and delivered to Rosa Labs. A nationwide fleet of delivery drivers who…

Hey Doug, I'm going to PM you right now, have a few questions about your order. Thanks for the heads-up
