Yes, silty is how I would describe Soylent's texture.

Yeah unfortunate, but at least progress is being made and hopefully in a few weeks time you have your Soylent. Better late than never. I won't get mine officially for 1 year and inofficially via reship expensive and with delay...

The cut-off for being able to cut in line was April 25. If they ordered more than you before that date then they will get theres before you but if they ordered after that date then they will get theres after you no matter how much was ordered.

Yeah doesn't feel like muscles at all. Just not quite enough sleep for multiple days in a row. But I'm not taking a nap because my mind is so perfectly awake and humming along... I don't think I could sleep if I tried. Will just power on through and…

So just for my reference, when can I be expecting my 1-week order that I placed almost 8 months ago? I feel like I'm being hopped over for people that only extremely recently ordered a 2-month supply. So the people that ordered a month ago are getting…

I'm failing to see the efficiency here. Wouldn't cleaning a measuring spoon be easier than cleaning a tiny bottle? You still end up cleaning one vessel per day (averaged out). Once every two weeks I funnel EVVO into a smaller dispenser and then measure…

does it feel like "muscle weakeness"? or just "meh, feels slower moving my body" take a nap for sure is the first advice like you said yourself... otherwise coffee might work?

I'm using close to a 50/50 Olive Oil/MCT Oil as well. I am also doing a keto version with 75ml MCT and 60ml EVOO. I think the secret to my recipe is the milk. It helps the consistency and masks the oil. It's freaking tasty in fact. http://diy.soylent.me/recipes/public-sharkertys-low-carb-main

Thought I'd share this... anyone else noticed the phenomenon of the body being tired but the mind being completely NOT? http://iamsoylent.com/jonathans-pov/interesting-body-tired-mind-wide-awake/

Vincent said: Has anyone else ordered a pitcher as an add-on? Are they shipping out later, or should I have gotten it with my order? Also, unfortunately the oil was not packed well and several of the bottles leaked significantly in shipment. A bit…

Aracham said: I've heard chewing gum can help, will probably pick up a pack this afternoon. I think the reverse is opposite, if you chew gum I believe it tends to make you more hungry. Maybe in the very short term it makes you believe you have eaten…

@mark1 I think what you are getting at is the difference between a cottage industry and a "real" business. The differences vary from state to state and country to country, and this is one area where the federal government also has jurisdiction (interstate…

Not sure if this had been answered in your other threads or not. Make sure that soy protein has enough of all essential amino acids. I know that whey protein does. Just do a forum search for amino acid and read up.

You should be able to open a dispute.

Yeah just a hint: drink slowly, add more water and in general the stomach pain and issues will go away, when you don't jug it down!

Haven't seen you drink it yet but already... not enough water IMO... Oh no you didn't really drink that all in one chug.... sigh yes you did... ouch. How did you feel maybe a half hour later or so?

I hear he already has uncontrollable verbal diarrhea so hey... what's the harm?

If you're planning on using soy, I don't think you'll need to do any extra prep. For the oats, people would soak them in water overnight, then drain before mixing that day's batch.

I was going to suggest a quart of nonfat milk but then I worried about calcium overload.

Yesterday, I received my two months of Soylent. I was really excited to try it for the first time, so I wanted to record my reaction to share.

Don't mention it yet. The last thing Soylent would need is Kanye saying he has uncontrollable flatulence.

That is the fridge of a man who knows what's vital.

I may go 50% EVOO and 50% coconut oil.

I like that fridge..

I've seen articles suggesting pumpkin seeds to pregnant women, and one cup has over 6mg of manganese in it! Pumpkin seeds in general are a wonderful source of nutrition, offering high doses of various nutrients. I'm absolutely surprised they aren't used…

My understanding is that Soylent is adding "optimal" amount of the various minerals at the lower end. In fact, several people are reporting that the sodium levels aren't sufficient if they engage in lots of exercise or live in a hot climate so they supplement.…

Your problem all has to do with stomach feel. You'll have the same unsatisfactory feeling for 4-5 days. It's the same with all low volume diets (HCG diet, other low calorie diets, etc) Days 4 and 5 will be your worst days if you aren't used to low calorie/volume…

In general I would say the easiest way to go about this is to either find some non nutrient rich protein shake or eat your Soylent portion till it's gone for the day and then eat non Soylent dinner, if necessary. I would probably go with low carb stuff.…

So is 100%FOOD 100% vegan now? I know it used to have whey protein. Also, what about choline? I don't see it on the ingredients or nutrition facts.

I quickly got tired of cleaning oily measuring spoons and counters because that olive oil just would pour nicely. So... I got a bunch of 2 fluid ounce bottles. They limit oxidation since they have very little air inside and they block light since they…

I'd thought about just having more Soylent, but I know too much of certain nutrients can be dangerous so I wanted to avoid that. Also, Soylent is kind of expensive for a broke college student like myself. I want my 4 weeks to last those 4 weeks. The…

I suppose anything is possible, though she's not just the average person being exposed to whatever is in the air at large. She's actively out in the garden planting, digging, re-potting, weeding, etc. etc. just about every single day. It doesn't get…

You could just drink more Soylent or go with minimal nutrient protein powder.

Okay, I've tried all three flavors now. Organic is interesting -- much milder taste and significantly less thick, which makes it an easier drink to me. I think it's my favorite between the three, with chocolate next (since Chocolate makes a nice flavor).…

Like joemoe says, might simply be placebo + low pollen atm... It would be very interresting though if there was actually something there. One thing is for sure, that if someones immune system was compromised because of bad diet, then it would improve…

Apparently I was wrong and the oil does make a pretty big difference. The taste from the first test is back, but it seems like it only makes a big difference beyond the 3:1 water/soylent ratio. I decided it was a bit too thick so I added more water, and…

I think this is one of those cases where a $200 legal consult can save you 50k in fees down the road. I've built web store products for companies(like Ebay) and know that as a webstore provider you're not in the biz of checking that your customers are…

I premix MCT and EVOO myself. I measure into 2 fl.oz. bottles I got on Amazon. That way I don't dirty a measuring spin every day. My EVOO bottle is extremely hard to pour without making a mess;I very to ship that too. Also, with premixing and pre-measuring,…

That probably is true. Maybe for now it would be better just to state that donators will also receive food and to not mention a loophole or intentions why there are different payment buttons.

That's exactly what official soylent does with the oil blend. Canola and fish oil. I don't think there would be any negative effects. Also, once mixed, I think they would stay pretty well mixed with the exception of any parts that solidify like if you…

My plan when I start Soylent is to spend a week getting used to it, and then I'd like to start exercising. Unfortunately according to a few BMI calculators I've used, even being "sedentary" I'm using 2450 calories a day. My goal is to lose my excess…

Yeah, there is no "loophole" here. Otherwise you'd see brothels up on every street corner: you don't "pay" for sex, you just "donate".... This will mostly be a matter of flying under the radar. If I was running this website I'd completely distance myself…

ruipacheco said: So EVOO is almost always pure olive oil? Yes, it is supposed to be, but sometimes cheap imported EVOO is only partially olive. ruipacheco said:

I hate to rain on the parade here. But I would safely say her allergies being gone has more to do with the rapid decline in tree pollen in your area then any miracle anti-allergy effect of her food intake. http://pollen.aaaai.org/nab/index.cfm?p=allergenreport&stationid=85&datecount=05%2F31%2F2014

ruipacheco said: I'd like to be able to gulp it down quickly. With the strong taste of olive oil I need to take it in sips. What is your recipe like? I'm doing 50% MCT, 50% EVOO with a total of 4 tablespoons oil per day. I never taste any olive oil.…

Hey Quid, have you seen this recipe (http://diy.soylent.me/recipes/cheapest-peabased-soyfree-soylent-nokale-mod-099day-without-extras)?

So EVOO is almost always pure olive oil?

Regular may be extracted partially with heat and purified with something like have like canola. I think many times, regular "olive oil" or cheap EVOO is only partially olive oil and the rest some other oil. EVOO should be "cold pressed", squeezed out…

Things like this are far too important to be disregarded by Rosa Labs and the medical community at large. @rob You guys need to keep track of these things.

I have always think twice about using fish oil, although there is no cause and effect established. There has been a link found between fish oil and aggressive prostate cancer. http://www.webmd.com/prostate-cancer/news/20130710/too-much-fish-oil-might-boost-prostate-cancer-risk-study-says

I just joined Marketplace as DIY-producer and want to announce: we offer samples!Yes, you can taste different formulas in one pack.

For my diy soylent I use several products that come in gelatine capsules. For calcium and magnesium it is easy, you can just take them appart and get the powder out. For the Omega 3-6-9 the capsules are sealed. Also the ingredient is oily so I would rather…

Yeah Shannon's allergies are just plain GONE. They've plagued her for decades... she used to just about live on Sudafed taking it multiple times a day, every day, for well over a decade. She managed to get them largely under control on her own via supplementation…

I am certainly interested in trying both Soylent (ordered in early March and am NOT concerned at all about the shipping process) and this 100%FOOD (just ordered two weeks worth). Two questions for @Spaceman : is the Vitamin D in the form of D2 or D3 and…

In their one month video @vanclute mentioned allergies becoming less severe. Haven't heard anything yet about immune systems, but I'd assume getting 100% of your vitamin C everyday can't hurt

So far people on official and DIY soylent have talked about feeling all around healthier but has anyone noticed an actual change in their immune system? Does anyone find themselves getting sit less often? Fewer sore throats or stuffy/runny noses?

I'm one of those that ordered on ebay, but have received no info, no soylent and no response when I have tried to contact @Glintomb4. Any more of you out there? On ebay the order is listed as ended and I can therefore not complain.

There is also a "contact" link on the soylen.me page.

Send an email to Info@soylent.me be sure to include your original email address.

Not sure now what I originally paid for; it has been so long...what is the customer service link?

How many Blender Bottles do you need for 1 day of Soylent 1.0? I saw a People Chow video and it looks like it might be 4 - but for some reason I expected 3. Also, can someone recommend an insulated bag / non-hardshell cooler that will hold 2 or 3 Blender…

Also FYI I use this blender: http://www.kambrook.com.au/blitz2go-blender.html, it's pretty convenient though a bit loud

Haha good questions: I've been on my own blend for all meals except about 4 a week for just over a month (that is 17/21 meals a week, or ~80%) I make about a week's powder in advance, and mix powder, oil and flavour (bit of stevia drops for sweetness)…

I've been eating it for three months now, the last month and a half it has been consistently 80% of my diet, and I've found the taste can vary wildly by going more than 0.5 grams off the recipe, it really doesn't take much! I started with a scale I got…

Extra means premium, it has the lowest amount of free acidity and peroxide of all the olive oils. Virgin means it's the First Cold Press. Whole fresh olives crushed to release the oil. Cold is under 86°F. EVOO has been mechanically pressed, and the oil…

My take on the DIY Marketplace is that this is a good thing. Rosa Labs have made it clear that they are not out to monopolize powdered food, alternative food, whatever you want to call it. More options are better. There is a HUGE market for Soylent.…

jrowe47 said: Those recipes are the intellectual property of their creators - I have some concern in that regard. At the very least, make a visually distinct area on the page for official Soylent community and site links - a bordered area and something…

There have been several posts on how to contact the team. How large was your order? Right now greater than 4weeks are going out. If you ordered 4weeks or more and have not received any shipping notice - email info@soylent.me or help@soylent.me. @JulioMiles…

I want to know where is Customer Support and why can't I find out WHEN I will get my shipment?I was on the initial startup fund request and paid money for product I don't have yet. I have received general emails updating me on when the original orders…

I should add to your comment @Cobra that pouches we use are biodegradable, so you can save the planet too. So vote by your money - I will add more pouch options on the website.

A sample set is a fantastic idea. I'm not picky about what goes in as long as there is variety and clear labeling.

@Owenleejoeking - when shit happens - I normally resend a box at my expense. Since we earn on that - we, sellers, should care of such risks and carriers we use. From your side - if you find your box or get insurance - it would be nice if you share it…

Bottles vs. Pouches I started with pouches and used a BlenderBottle to mix up the powder with water (or milk). BlenderBottles aren't actually related to what we think of as "blenders". They are large cups with a whisking ball inside. Overall, this was…

It's THICK, especially after sitting in the fridge for a few hours. However, easily controlled by adding more water if you don't like how thick it is. I have no issue with it being thick, and with this recipe prefer it thicker rather than thinner.

*pourable (sorry)

Third time's the charm. Managed to down half of the glass in one long gulp. I didn't even gag once this time! I could now see living off of this stuff easily. The oil wasn't actually as big of an issue as I thought, I was just doing the water ratio, shaking,…

Owenleejoeking said: I ordered 1 week of People Chow- Plain from @axcho and the new website on 6/2/14 and got my tracking number the next night. Update: 6/7/2014 The post office has marked my package "Delivered" and it is most certainly not- I was…

I plan on using soy flour instead of Oat Flour. What do you mean by soaking the flour?

I have been using the oil that came with Soylent, and it doesn't have any fish smell or taste that I can detect. I've heard that's a sign of fresh fish oil so I'm happy about that. I am refrigerating the oil even though it isn't technically required it…

Are there any commercial alternatives based on DIY recipes that are currently shipping? I'm waiting on two weeks of the official stuff and I'm getting very impatient.

Day 2 and no noticeable increase in gas. Everything seems quite normal although I'm not 100%Soylent, probably more like 75%

I would also love to have a sucralose free version of Soylent. Yes, people would like all kinds of different versions, but I think it's fair to say that sucralose has caused by far the most objection out of any aspect of Soylent aside from shipping.…

Another thing you could try is soaking the oats instead of baking them.

Have you received your Soylent yet and tried it?

I got my 21 bottles of Chocolate in on Friday. It took seven days shipping time. The tracking number made it look like the package did a loop around the nation, so I'm wondering if that's why. Anyway, I've had three bottles so far. One for dinner last…
