How long does it take to separate again? Like, I mix up my Soylent the night before, in the pitcher, and then I pour it into a portable vessel to take to work... will I have to reshake it every time I want a sip, or is it good for the morning?

hello reddit, I am days away from ordering all my ingredients for my custom DIY soylent. And I couldn't be more excited. This is going to change my life. However, I have an issue. Some ingredients will be ground finer than others. I would like to get…

So I hear many people mention cooking their oat flour before using it help with the digestion. I have not started soylent and am in the process of collecting information and materials. I usualy have an iron stomach and could deal with the raw flour…

Just had my first day on soylent.I can see what you are referencing. Just went on a 1.5 hour ride on my bike with just water. But also my intent for something like cycling is to have a diluted soylent bottle, though I haven't an idea for running yet.…

My cousin has a small home baking business in North Carolina. She had to submitt water sample results among other things to the health department to sell her cakes. When Soylent was In beta there was a reason it was limited to only a few testers. When…

what do you mean you soak the mix overnight? you soak it before you blend it?

@Alrecenk - you raise up a good question. As @axcho mentioned - our rationale is based on the current status quo in the peer-to-peer economy (Uber, Lyft, Airbnb, etc.) where donations turned from loophole into "way of making business". But, I do not…

Great comments thank you i didnt know about the infamous husk. Yesterday I made a significant progress. I used the blender on the highest speed and blended the pre-soaked mix for several minutes. I used a volume that would not speed down the blender too…

The answer to all of your woes... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ARQVM5O I used one of these when I was trying out DIY. It worked very VERY well at getting all the clumps out and all you have to do is rinse it off after you're done. There are…

I use a low end blender and it works fine, but i use the highest speed and let it blend for a good time. Considering that I will be doing this for a long time I will buy a new blender because this one will break at any time. Im thinking just the regular…

sorry i just have some average blender my roommate has. i made it last night and tried drinking it for lunch today. i drank half what i brought to work. now im trying to drink a cup of it because im actually hungry now and I just held back throwing up…

Does anyone have any experience with changing out Oat Flour with Rice flour?

In case anyone was wondering, human feces is comprised of mostly water by weight (approx. 75%). The remaining main components are usually undigested fiber, dead bacteria, dead red blood cells, and solidified gastrointestinal fluids. There is sometimes…

How's the mix going? I was looking at the mix and saw that the protein plus powder has an SRP of $151.95. I wonder if the chemist warehouse is only temporarily selling it cheap. Checking out bulk nutrients there's a whey protein concentrate for $81 per…

ajlipp said: If I eat nothing but Soylent for two years, and then one day I eat spicy chicken wings and a big ribeye steak, won't that cause my system to freak out? Based on what we've seen in our first month with Soylent, I would expect that you would…

Can you be a bit more verbose? What was your pooping frequency before? Do you still go once a day? Is it less? What is it on the Bristol stool scale before and after?

So, I am very sedentary, I think I would maintain on around 1700-1800 calories. However, on active days, I might burn an additional 200-300 calories that day. How do you measure the amount of calories in soylent to adjust for your (personal) calorie…

I did do one batch early on with kinda lukewarm water, and didn't notice any difference. I haven't had any trouble mixing with normal cold water so haven't bothered with anything else.

@vanclute have you tried to use warm/hot water from the sink at first and then let it chill in the fridge before drinking? I know many things mix better in warm/hotter water. Not boiling water (as we don't want to cook this).

I've done this for about 2 weeks now, and I have some lessons learned. I haven't been mixing entire batches in advance. I have a tiny blender that I tote back and forth between home and work. I put around 5 or 6 teaspoons of the powder and some of the…

I Want to lose weight how , do i buy it .

Salut @arthur !Je vais essayer de répondre le mieux possible à tes questions, avec mes pauvres connaissances. 1 - pour les lipides, c'est assez complexe, de ce fait j'ai fait confiance aux calculs de Tronce et j'ai pris ses mesures sans afficher le détails.…

This one has a LOT of omega-3 and -6. See http://umm.edu/health/medical/altmed/supplement/omega3-fatty-acids where anything more than 3g / day of omega-3 is strongly iladvised. This recipe has more than double that.

Fairly long. For a full BlenderBottle full I used between 20-40 drops. I've probably had about 15 bottles of Pecan Praline and the tiny sample bottle I got is still half-full.

How come you modified the DRI table? Is this to make it so your recipe comes up as 100% in the search engine?

Really excited about this!!

Phrenetik - I have only drank DIY that I have run through my Blendtec blender (a blender that blends other blenders). I'm sure other lesser expensive options would also help though. If you are currently hand mixing that just sounds insane to me :-)…

It happened to me for a few days but then it stopped. I also find that if I go on a night out and drink a fair bit of alcohol with it I get bad gas But that might be the beer more than anything.

If I eat nothing but Soylent for two years, and then one day I eat spicy chicken wings and a big ribeye steak, won't that cause my system to freak out? No one knows. I imagine it will be a bit upset. But it would get used to this other diet within a…

Wo find ich dein aktuelles Rezept?

Ok great. I'm in Zürich tomorrow (4. June) and on Monday (9. June). You can email me at gabriel.leuenberger@hotmail.com

Wow, I just looked up their website and I can't believe the range of flavors that they have listed. I had no idea this sort of product was available. I might have to try some of these. What sort of amount did you need to use for the flavor to come through…

My human stomach and digestive system have been processing the food I've been eating my entire life. I wonder what will happen to a stomach and digestive system that no longer is asked to digest anything solid. Will that cause some digestive functions…

There is always something to be said for a little "recharging" now and then. If that's a meal, great. If it's meditation, going for a walk, a brief nap, or playing with your cats (my personal favorite!) then that's all equally valid. =) Humans definitely…

This would seem to make sense from a systems point of view. Soylent appears to be extremely efficient in terms of delivering on a set baseline of nutrition. Most highly efficient systems are not resilient - that is there is not a lot of "slop" or inefficiencies…

I'm trying to gauge how long it will take them to ship out the next batch of orders when they are finished with the 9-12 week shipments.

I did keto the last time I needed to lose weight. 6ft1 male here 23 yrs old. went from 235 > 175 before on keto. 1.5 yr later im back up to 215 from eating horribly(spending 15 dollars at taco bell per visit etc.) I decided spending the money upfront…

The thread Another Official Soylent Experience segued into a topic I spend some thoughts on as well and which i like to share. Im looking forward to yours. [FYI: I am a dutch, enthusiastic DIY-soylenteer for about a year now. About half of my nutrition…

Thank you for your reply. I don't know yet how long I will stay in this Ketofood, my weight is almost optimal but I don't want to consume flours again if possible. About the improvements in texture, today I blended my one-day pre-soaked mix for several…

**Orders placed before 5/6: Currently shipping orders for 2 months of Soylent.**Orders placed after 5/6: Shipping in 10-12 weeks from order date.**If you ordered a total of more than 2 months of Soylent prior to 4/25, and have not received a shipment…

More shipments going out today! Pictured here is a box of People Chow Plus going out to @warnett, my first repeat customer, and a box of People Chow Plain for @rebecka_flatt. Other boxes of Plain going out today not pictured.

This is a good question. I think there is some guidance as I believe there is an RDA for 2500 calories as well (but I'm having trouble digging up a specific source, I just see it on all of the Bob's Red Mill labels. There are obviously upper limits…

In my reading over the last couple of weeks, I keep coming across articles written about Soylent, a new food product that has been designed by tech entrepreneur Robert Rhinehart. Soylent, so named (as a joke) for the gruesome science fiction food substitute…

Really loving the recipe, the flavour is great. I'm finding I really cant drink 1/3 of my blender beakers worth in one go which is great for me as I'm a chronic over eater. I mixed a serving for breakfast and it took me to about 1pm to actually finish…

The question I would ask is what are the RDA for a 3000 calorie diet and how do they compare with a 2000 calorie diet? In other words, do I need to ingest 1.5x the amount of iron if I need 3000 cal? And if not, does 3000cal of Soylent put any of the RDA…

Treat soylent as you would normal food. Soylent, in it's 2000 calorie formulation, just provides a nutritional base. If your activity level is higher, you need to supplement your diet with additional nutrients just as you would have to do with normal…

Densities of dry goods vary between brands and even between batches so that would be very difficult to do. I would recommend weighing out the components the first time and then seeing how that measures out volumetrically based on the item and how hard…

It's the tourists' Soylent: a thoroughly bland stew of chicken and green beans that looks postcard-perfect when it's set on the table bubbling and golden from the overdose of turmeric, but perplexingly simple on tongue—under-salted, under-spiced, and…

Superior is also subjective. I mean, I really doubt soylent has a superior taste to normal food, and its also debatable whether it is superior to a healthy diet, as much as an improvement it may be over a typical diet. Also, imagine if vegan's went around…

Please let me clarify that I was not suggesting anything nefarious. Not sure how you got the impression that I was suggestion something wicked or criminal was taking place on the site. I tend not to trust people who are aggressively marketing their product…

Sorry, been really busy. Early results are pretty good. Some flavors don't come through very well, or require so much flavoring that they start to taste kind of chemically, but there are several that are absolutely delicious. Pralines and Cream is my…

In light of the rather long fulfillment times assuming I place an order for Soylent today when will my credit card be charged? Will I be billed immediately or only when my order is shipped? Thanks.

Ok, email me at gabriel.leuenberger@hotmail.com

Hi, I'm about about a week into this and it's going pretty well - not hungry and actually enjoying the flavor. Thanks for posting the recipe. The only issue seems to be - I'll try to be delicate here - the toxic gas. Has anyone else had this problem,…

The calcium is not vegan.

The vitamin pills are not vegan

And it was pretty much a disaster. I started with the people chow recipe and purchased everything from the Amazon link. Except I neglected to notice that the potassium was sold through another vendor, so I am missing that. I figure I can throw something…

The calcium supplement is not vegan

All the DIY soylent recipies are variations of the original one / their concept is not substentially different. So the only one actually having enough treshold of originality might be the original Soylent recipe. Then again, nutritionally complete powders…

I've been hearing more about soylent recently, and decided I should try a week over the summer. However, I've heard there have been large delays in orders for small quantities. Is it likely I would receive a 1 week supply by august, or is it viable to…

I'm just happy to see such a marketplace exist, as it means the S/soylent concept is setting up deeper roots. Personally I'm very happy with official Soylent and not adventurous enough to try anyone's DIY, but then I'm not trying to go totally 100% Soylent…

I don't give a crap about the law, I care about common courtesy. I would also argue that these are more akin to chemical formulas and significantly different than a recipe for conventional food. Given the context, as well, I'm not as concerned about…

Hey, where did you buy chia in Switzerland? I've been looking for it for some time. Thanks.

Those recipes are the intellectual property of their creators Recipies are not protected by copyright law, at least not by German law! (and I guess US law won't be any different, see link at the bottom)There is not enough threshold of originality for…

Has anyone else experienced this kind of change or is this just a marketing ploy?

What is an easy way of increasing the amount of calories in a DIY soylent mix, without the cost getting really high, and with keeping an acceptable ratio of carbs/protein/fat Some background: i am a somewhat active 17 y/o male, and the 2000 calories…

Kevlar hasn't been responding for a few months, so I'll give you my review. I tried this recipe, noticed some problems and managed to fix most of them. I've been using it for 2 weeks now (with 1 meal per week non-soylent). Since I'm looking to gain weight,…

The sodium content on this is not even close to accurate.

I'd also be sure that you have Rosa's blessings on using their 1.) Marketing material 2.) Product concept 3.) Community links 4.) Websites 5.) Educational material 6.)Diy website in particular . Those recipes are the intellectual property of their creators…

I received a similar request as @shadowhawkxx, I suppose for the same reasons, and I think his above post pretty well covers it. I'm glad to see some of the folks around here showing some entrepreneurial spirit. I wish them well, and will enjoy watching…

Er... Cross-posting this here, as it seems perhaps more appropriate for this discussion: shadowhawkxx said: So as (I guess) one of the forum's more regular posters, I've been asked by @Spaceman to share an opinion on the new DIY marketplace. Overall,…

Text post as to not karma whore. A few regs were selling their DIY soylent on the discourse (which was a pretty messy set-up, truth be told), and they came together to make a sort of farmer's market: http://www.powderedfoods.com/ I am not one of them/not…

So as (I guess) one of the forum's more regular posters, I've been asked by @Spaceman to share an opinion on the new DIY marketplace. Overall, some of the phrasing and description looks a little rough around the edges, and it could probably benefit…

I am playing around with the soylent diy maker. Is there a way to rearrange ingredients after they've been added?

I've tried everything from cake batter to skim milk, and I can't seem to choke it down. So i've been grilling mine into little protein pancakes and just eating them instead. I'm using a slightly modified version of people chow with more protein, a little…

Second call (nay - make that demand! Hand them over dammit!) for your cookie & brownie recipes. I've got a bug up my butt (eww) to bake something out of Soylent now that we have plenty of it again. A cake, brownies, and cookies are the candidates.…

I would like the option to be able to enter how much sugar an item has when adding it as an ingredient. Someone mentioned in one of my topics that sugar is a form of carb. Any way to seperate the carbs or have the ability to see how much sugar we are…

Chocolate>Organic>Original and the original wasnt bad.

Let's congratulate Jason Li*****ton, the first buyer!

I just got my trial packs here in KC on Saturday. Havent tried them yet but I will soon. The more options the better. I cant wait for my official Soylent to get here. But in the mean time I might want to try someone/something else. I think it will be…

Thanks guys for direct speech. Your critical suggestions help me to earn that all kind words in the end. The marketplace is NOT INTENDED TO COMPETE WITH SOYLENT.The Marketplace is made to compete with regular food. My own experience and the experience…

Curtis2011 said: it's important to realize that many successful products are indeed polarizing towards some audiences. Couldn't agree more here. This is one of the main reasons I believe Soylent to be an absolutely seismic shift in the world. If…

I don't think that the producers of a product are even the ones to decide if their product is superior or not. If it is, the fact will be known by the majority of people because IT IS superior and not because they SAY IT IS superior. Apart from that…

But we are talking about marketing here. Are you proposing that Rob tries to sell Soylent by saying "oh it's just average food, nothing special about it". That would be a terrible plan. Because if your food is superior, you are implying that his/her…

People absolutely take aides when it comes to food. The anger I've had directed at me when I decline someone's offer of, or explain that I've never had meat, pizza, a salad, or countless other things is absolutely out of this world. People will take…

If you tell someone you are eating superior food, it will more likely result in a unnecessary discussion and in the person trying to convince you that your food is not superior, than when you just call it (nutritionally) complete food or whatever else…

yeah I got that, i was merely pointing out that your goal of zero excrement is not achievable: sp1d3rx said: If there is excrement, then perhaps Soylent has more than is required, and whatever is being excreted can be removed from the inputs so that…
