Link to this? I still haven't heard anything about my 6 week order, from either Soylent or FedEx delivery manager.

@vanclute it is possible she has the recently recognized "Mast Cell Disorder". One of the things Mast cells produce is histamine and food can be a trigger for this (some number of people with this problem find a "low-histamine diet" to be helpful).…

Not unless you use a VPN service you cant.Or you live in the US........

That reminds of the time I read that bran is good for you. I bought me a box of the real bran cereal (no sugar or other amenities) and had me a full bowl of the stuff. I paid for that for the next several days. If you don't want to take a laxative,…

I would think it would be perfect for those things. Ever tasted water that was detoxed with Katadyn Tablets or the like? Not very tasty. I imagine mixing it with soylent would taste better. Plus they are sealed in airtight and one would assume water tight…

Yep, Colbert Bump. You can also watch The Colbert Report on the internet for free at http://thecolbertreport.cc.com/

A timely response indeed, thanks for the shipping notifications

Well I mailed them about my 6 week order. Will see if I get a reply in a timely manner. Ordered 1mo 11/13/13 and added 2 weeks on 04/24/14

Sodium is one thing to watch as well, especially if you sweat heavily. I have to add salt to my Soylent. I also occasionally add a tablespoon of canola oil to a glass of Soylent if I start craving meat/fat. For me, I had bad gas for about 10 days,…

You are right, I guess I was more speaking about the ideal state + between regular users there very well is freedom of speech. If the site owners decide to delete specific posts, well than be it, but regular users for sure should not try to suppress the…

2014-06-07 follow-up - Didn't get hungry again for 6+ hours, then had a bacon cheeseburger and bacon cheese fries at Hard Rock Cafe (a tradition when going to Phoenix Comicon) with my roommates. Thought I'd have some Soylent for dinner, but never actually…

For whatever it's worth (which ain't much I imagine), there is no "freedom of speech" here since this is a privately owned site. The owner can do whatever he/she wants here, including censor, edit, ban, etc.

Maybe send an email, subject: "My 1+ month order". Thanks to @champs for pointing out this tweet: twitter.com soylent We are now starting to ship 1-month orders. ordered >1 month but not shipped? please email info@soylent.me,…

DriveByAbuser said: why don't you people just email them directly? posting crap on here like that makes you seem deranged tbf Why would one call reasonable criticism crap? Why would one try to suppress the freedom of speech in a public forum? One would…

Well, according to paypal "this type of transaction is not eligible for PayPal dispute resolution". And since it has been more than 90 days on ebay, they don't even acknowledge the order anymore.

Right, but according to @DriveByAbuser I'm deranged, right?!? lol

And how long you'd have to wait if you didn't make a big stink of the forums. I may need to make my own post since I ordered 5 weeks and surely I should be getting it before you

Official soylent twitter account says 1+ month orders are done.

I can confirm that I just received my shipping confirmation and tracking number. Still extremely annoyed... I wonder how long I would have had to wait had I not had a friend that I knew for certain ordered WELL after me. Ugh!!!

look at pictures, we mix a days worth of dry into 3 meal containers (you can add honey and oil here if you want), then we just mix that into a shaker bottle with as much water as will fit. if its too thick, just make it four meals a day and add more water.…

before the proper nutrient list for the mesa was found it seemed more important, now we just use a tiny portion to help balance things out. It's honestly mainly because we already paid for a huge bottle and want it gone :p

@JulioMiles I also ordered a month supply of Soylent on the first day of crowd funding. When can I expect mine to ship? Edit: it shipped!

You are there! Man is that a load off. It's comforting to know. happy Monday!

So @JulioMiles does this mean you're now shipping 1 month orders? And if so should people with greater than 1 month orders have received and email?

if you can find all of the micronutrients in the lifebrand at the right intervals go ahead, I always found the megamen to be the most comprehensive

Your order has been shipped. The shipping queue isn't perfect, so thanks for bringing this issue to our attention. Enjoy your Soylent.

Good point. More data is needed. Ooh! They could have their friend reorder for them and get it in 1-2 weeks! I'd do that but I'm first in my area to order and everyone's going the buying through me once mine comes in. At least till the shipping is quicker.

Prepare yourselves for a wave of new folks, and lots of repeated questions. The Colbert Bump cometh..

Are you sure you friend only ordered one month? Did you see his soylent? Does he maybe know someone at rosa labs? Did he get a shipping email? Is he closer to CA than you? Last they said they were shipping 2 month orders. So for him to get 1 month…

Hey man, Have you been using this since you posted it? How is it?

They're either swamped or not answering some types of emails. I'm waiting, but I think mine is the type not to be answered. I wish they'd at least let me know if that was the case. I'm hanging here in limbo and it's killing me.

Pretty funny to see "Software engineer Rob Rhinehart" listed in the description. I'm sure most people who see that will be like - WTF? Who the hell is that? LOL

Info@soylent.me , help@soylent.me, julio@soylent.me, matt@soylent.me. Or you could click on the contact link on the Soylent.me home page. Be sure to include your email you used when you placed your order.

What email can we send to that will actually result in a reply? Do you know?

why don't you people just email them directly? posting crap on here like that makes you seem deranged tbf

Hello everyone, I was excited when I discovered Soylent, then bummed when it's US only. However, I found the DIY link here and have been reading up and playing with it. I was on a Keto diet in the US and lost some weight over a couple of months, but…

I've been insanely patient, but I'm officially fed up. I ordered a month supply of Soylent on the first day of the crowd funding campaign (more than a year ago). I was one of the first orders. I received my starter kit some 6+ weeks ago now, but still…

That's awesome! I hope there's an update.

Fedex tracker is crap, said it left sacramento, ca noon saturday and nothin since? So i guess its been sitting in a truck for 50hrs with out going anywhere

In case you missed the tweet... Soylent ‏ @soylent 18m Catch @robrhinehart on the Colbert Report this Wednesday! We're pretty excited to see @StephenAtHome become a #soylentpioneer

Great first post. I wonder what would happen if you only mixed the powder and water the night before and then added the oil in the morning. You would have to shake it real good, of course. Not sure if it would taste more like fish oil, or less but…

Protagonist said: everything will hopefully come out good in the end.., I see what you did there! Protagonist said:

I'm also a 6-weeker that hasn't had an order shipped yet. I'm hopeful that this will be the week, though. Edit: I ordered September of last year, first 1 week, then added another week as an 'add on option', and finally an additional month when they…

More or less the same, however I am beginning to think that it is due to the increased fiber, which I hardly consumed at all prior to Soylent. I think it's causing trouble down there because fiber is a big bully and that part of my body is all wimpy from…

Anything is possible, but I would think a food allergy to be unlikely. Her allergies always get worse the more gardening she does, and with season changes. They are like clockwork in this way. Or at least they were. And they were really specific symptoms…

Excellent points

Is it possible Shannon was actually allergic to something she was eating?

One other thing... stp mentioned to stay hydrated with water if necessary... I would change that to say you ABSOLUTELY have to be drinking water outside of Soylent. There is not enough water in the mix to keep you hydrated, and many people experience…

Where did you get the containers, and how much were they?

It's not like they went out and built a factory. They used RFI which is a company that basically makes the product from source to destination. So Rosa dev'd the product, figured the ingredients they wanted and RFI probably did most of the back end work…

Leverage... FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!! EDIT: Corporate BS Generator

I'd like to gain some muscle too. I'll be in Zürich on 10. June again. I haven't received an email form you so far.

Did you order before April 25?

How were things over the weekend?

They haven't finished 6 week orders yet as far as I know even though they are now shipping 4 week orders. Still no word on my 6 weeker. I hope more thought went into the product then the shipping process.....:)

You make it sound so simple. Oh, just have an idea, get some money, get a factory, make it and ship it. No problem. People do not do this every day, not at the scale and speed they did, starting from nothing. Anything sounds simple if you ignore all the…

My very first batch, I kept trying to flavor each glass I poured and kept making it worse. I finally added milk and that made it drinkable at least. The milk definitely added a creaminess to it, and I could see it being very tasty that way as long as…

**EDIT 2**: I noticed someone marked this thread with a FUD tag (without mentioning why). I really am trying not to be a fearmonger but rather provoke discussion about the maltodextrin in Soylent and say why *I* am not drinking it (yet). So I wanted…

Well I got to bed at a slightly better hour last night, up like a shot as usual at 6am sharp. Slept pretty good, will see how I do today. Feeling great at the moment but that's my normal state these days! LOL

As mentioned above, I don't feel "full" on my DIY and many people won't feel "full" on Soylent. That mechanical feeling of having your stomach be full of food. However that's okay. I didn't feel hungry either, but it messed with my head to never feel…

Sure the ~2000ckal do not fit everyone's needs. There for example is a 100%FOOD active man set where 1 meal has 830ckal instead of 650ckal. I guess there's more protein in it as well (unfortunately I don't have the exact table for the active man set).

I know that for me, personally, 51g of protein per day is not sufficient. Though, 3 bottles of spacefood a day does not meet my caloric requirement, either. I require more than 2500 calories and upwards of 120 grams of protein... so 3 bottles of spacefood…

http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/fats-and-oils/592/2 I haven't confirmed values yet, just found NZ sources,

I think we have to distinguish here as we are talking about two different things: the ratio on the one hand and the amount in grams on the other hand. I cannot comment on the optimal ratio, but for the amount of protein in grams all the sources I can…

I get this feeling a lot at night, especially if I've had a lot of caffeine/energy drinks that day. It's more that my eyes feel tired/dry but my mind isn't ready to actually turn off and go to bed.

So I received my Soylent yesterday afternoon (8 weeks).  After reading that the consistency and mouth feel of Soylent gets significantly better after chilling over night, I resisted the urge to do a first taste until this morning. I left the Soylent…

I can reiterate what was said about horrible flavor. I used to have some in my recipe. It is just not a good ingredient. Try soy protein powder which tastes edible

I'm looking forward to using Soylent for backpacking. You'll need water and a means to mix and clean your container, but it should allow you to forgo both dehydrated food and stove/fuel. From what I understand, you'll also want to supplement with salt…

Some things im curious about taste/pleasure wise: Replacing water with various products such as milk, juice or soda(ew?) how would they rate on the soylent experience?

Yes, I used a re-shipper called OPAS. No problems at all. Shipped Wednesday, arrived Friday. Everything including starter kit consolidated into 4 weekly boxes. Only remaining issue is I believe UPS have got the import taxes wrong, and I'm hoping to dispute…

You have to remember this product is made of other products so you would have to search every product manually.

Yes, I'm sure: Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges (AMDRs) for fat, protein, and carbohydrate are estimated to be 20 to 35 percent, 10 to 35 percent, and 45 to 65 percent of energy, respectively (IOM, 2002) The 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans…

Hi. I have heard it said that Soylent powder is nearly indestructible, and good for years generally. Maybe only months if left in the sun etc. I have heard that once water is added, it tends to go rancid in between 3-5 days if chilled, and less if not.…

DafJ said: 8 weeks of Soylent makes it to the UK (First!?) Bravo! (I wondered if I'd be the first in the UK... apparently not!) Did you use a re-shipper? Did you have any issues with the starter kit coming from USPS rather than FedEx? How long did…

Day 3 and nothing unusual from the brass section. But then I am taking the mother of all probiotic supplements - yes that's 50 billion.

vitusavitus said: This is UNDER the standard set by the USDA's 2005 nutritional guidelines for protein even, where you should be getting at least 100g per day. Are you sure about that? Babies need about 10 grams a day. Teenage boys need up to 52…

Each day I'll put tomorrow's rations in the refrigerator to thaw. I read somewhere that when pre-mixed it doesn't last too long in the fridge (spoilage? texture?) so I tossed it in the freezer instead. Due to my current rooming situation it's just easier…

looking forward to it!

shadowhawkxx said: I cut these guys slack because I'm also an engineer in my 20s, and I'm not sure I could do what they did. Don't sell yourself short. They made a design (or a recipe in this case), sourced the materials, sourced labor to assemble…

not vegetarian. too much beef lasagna baby food.

Couple problems ive heard of or experienced with soy protein: doesnt blend well at all, so you get something very chalky. Tastes awful on its own. Is not a "complete" protein in that it is missing certain essential amino acids (though you could supplement…

Hey! Have you given this a try?

Actually it seems to be even WORSE. It's about 60% carbs, 30% fats and 10% protein. And that's being a bit generous towards protein in the rounding. This is UNDER the standard set by the USDA's 2005 nutritional guidelines for protein even, where you should…

So just looking at your nutritional facts spaceman, I'm worried about your ratios for carbs proteins and fats. You have basically a 60/20/20 ratio. Is that far too little protein?

http://youtu.be/TT_g1uCNdGI Have a great soylent week! This is a video i made about how simple and easy it is to prepare and drink this recipe. Sorry if its in spanish but i want it to be for the mexican population. My wife katie was the awesome camerawoman.…

Hi Just wanted to ask if Soylent can be used outdoors as a camping food. Will temperature variations or humidity affect the ingredients? Also how long can you store it before it spoils and can you substitute the oil with other types - i.e. olive oil…
