Does all soybean oil contain omega 3 and/or 6 acids? Iin the people chow recipe it has a fancy looking bottle with the acids, and was wondering if a generic bottle from walmart would provide the same benefit, but its not listed on the label

Hello, I am using People's Chow 3.0.1. according to the recipe on the DIY site. I made no substitutions, and have added some vanilla extract for taste. I've been experiencing some weird side effects this week that are concerning to me. I'm feeling…

Hey guys, Using diy.soylent for two days now and while im feeling fine I experience some heartburn in the mornings and throughout the days. Anyone else has made that experience? Greetings!

I'm not personally a user, might be interested, but that all hinges on the above. I understand there's a certain level of customization you have access to when ordering this type of product, but I don't know what types of materials go into the bits that…

Just curious. My first batch was incredibly gritty and actually irritated my throat. I suffered through it, but I was wondering if anyone has tried mixing theirs with hot water to any success. Are there any issues with using hot water? I don't mean boiling…

Soylent sounds like a dream come true for me, but from my understanding, it derives much (if not all?) of its nutrients from artificial chemicals/compounds. What are these compounds? Most people I've read are reporting positively about their Soylent…

I replied and said I don't need a scoop to see if I could get it delivered earlier. That was over a week ago. They did say I could pick it up though, very tempting but out of the way.

If you ever want to try another whey protein, I found this one to be pretty mild tasting and used to use it in my DIY (which I gave up on long ago). I'll probably end up mixing some of it into each batch of my official Soylent when it eventually gets…

I had a feeling that Soylent was causing the delay. I know that Crowdtilt already had the Soylent and probably already had the t-shirts. Then the Soylent guys decided to add the scoops and ten days later they still don't have them.

Soylent is a nutritionally complete liquid food. Soylent is a nutritionally complete powdered food. Just add water! And some oil. Soylent is a nutritionally complete, nearly vegan, sustainable / low environmental impact, hypo-allergenic, nearly kosher,…

Done, thank you. Cheers.

As a matter of fact I just checked my email and here is what it said. Matt LeBel5:37 PM (56 minutes ago) to bcc: me Hey All- Just an update -- we're still waiting on the Soylent measuring scoops to arrive. I'll shoot out an update / tracking numbers…

Spaceman said: It seems nobody received yet...Me too, though they said of 2 days shipment... Didnt you read the email they sent you? They said that they were going to wait for Soylent to send them their scoops and then send the Soylent. Spaceman…

vanclute said: According to the USPS website, the small flat-rate box (which I suspect may fit 14 bottles) would be $5.80 inside the US. @vanclute - I have several people to ship Soylent "samples" out to once my order arrives. Any idea if the $5.80…

It seems nobody received yet...Me too, though they said of 2 days shipment... Lucky-15, how do you think - will we get it before the end of the week?

Soylent, the unfortunately named food substitute — named after the fictional Soylent Green, which was made out of human flesh — is now available for online sale, and it is just as depressing and redundant a food phenomenon as it sounds. The tech / hacker…

Thanks @gilahacker - yes, I'd be happy to make some DIY for you, @indianleopard. Let me know if you're interested, and we can talk more over PM. And yeah, good idea about saying "Mexico" instead of "USA".

@indianleopard - @axcho could probably make you a batch. @PurpleLizzard - You should probably update the title of this thread to say "shipping to Mexico"

Ah, I understand what you're saying now. You're in favor of a more bland category name instead of a standout one because you think it'd be unfair to Soylent to battle on two fronts. Without a deep knowledge of psychology, and perhaps some A/B testing…

FlipFlop said: Comme tu utilises deux protéines différentes, la whey et les protéines totales, je me demandais si tu prenais les deux à la vanille ou seulement une seule car le goût vanillé serait trop fort ? Pour le moment je n'en utilise qu'une (la…

I'm a bit of a newbie on Soylent, going on my third week now and feeling great. I'm also walking two miles each day just before lunch. I am using the People Chow (Tortilla Perfection) recipe. I used corn flour for the first two weeks and just yesterday…

I think "designer food" vs "vintage food" is most the apt categorical classification. There is already a competitor to soylent called Ambronite http://ambronite.com and both.can compete in this category. For example: if a vintage food like salmon is…

I can be an intermediary until you have a higher trust level. I'll PM both of you and pass the stuff back and forth.Edit: I sent both of you a PM, and it looks like it created a type of private thread. You two should be able to work it out in there.

Yeah, I can't figure it out either haha. Could make a throwaway email account or something and just put it on here, then give a real one with it. Or IRC or something. 2014 baby, woohoo. Do you have a scale? I don't. I'm cool with you picking it up then…

It's a tempting proposition: drink Soylent, a food-replacement product that gives you all the calories and nutrients you need to go about your too-busy-to-cook day. It can save time and reduce your agricultural footprint. But is replacing real food with…

I can't figure out PMs in this system!! Just not seeing a button for it. Anyway, ping your roommate; I'd actually like three or four people on it. But two or three would be OK too. Drop me a ring when you're certain whether he's in or not. I'm OK…

(Newser) – The makers of Soylent say their product takes the stress out of trying to eat well by simplifying the process: Just drink the stuff, get all the nutrients you need, and skip actual food entirely. Farhad Manjoo of the New York Times gave it…

Salut @FlipFlop ! Est-ce que tu utilises la recette de Tronce ou est-ce que tu fais ta propre tambouille ?Pour ma part, je commence les tests goûts et textures ce samedi (j'ai commandé les macronutriments et je vais tester plusieurs variations de la…

Looks like it's got a bunch extra of most stuff, but I probably won't eat 2200 odd calories like it has, so it seems fine to me (not that I would know haha). If you'd like, I could try and rope in a roommate of mine, we could split it into 1/3 portions,…

I like this formula here: http://diy.soylent.me/recipes/bachlore-chownexus-blendcytogain But some of the ingredients have a 150-day (or much more) supply. I don't want items sitting around until they expire... If i could split these by at least 50%…

Salut @Tronce ,tu as dis la dernière fois que tu utilisais des protéines à la vanille pour améliorer le goût. Comme tu utilises deux protéines différentes, la whey et les protéines totales, je me demandais si tu prenais les deux à la vanille ou seulement…

I just spent more than a week experiencing Soylent, the most joyless new technology to hit the world since we first laid eyes on MS-DOS. Soylent is a drink mix invented by a group of engineers who harbor ambitions of shaking up the global food business.

Howdy, as the title says I'm about one week in on DIY [keto soylent](http://diy.soylent.me/recipes/quidnycs-ketofood-for-ongoing-ketosis). Here is an observation I thought was interesting. So, I was on (and off and on) a keto solid food diet. I have…

Pas mal pas mal... A quand le 20h de TF1 ^^ ?

Salut @Tronce !Yeah c'est génial Bravo !A bientôt.

Hm... When you say 'a very long time' what kind of time frame are we looking at? I have 8 weeks of Soylent ordered, so I doubt it will be terribly long before I get mine, but I might be interested.

I originally ordered a week. Before things locked I added one month, bringing my total to 5 weeks. Julio said it should charge two weeks before shipping. It just charged today. Just figured more information never hurts and anyone in the ballpark who's…

http://diy.soylent.me/recipes/test-209 I had a hard time using any of the premade ones because I live in a small city in Northern Canada (no big box stores). So this recipe is based off websites that will ship to me and items that I can source locally.…

I'm so sick of dealing with making food. My shipment can't come soon enough, I was stupid and only ordered a couple of weeks :( I feel like it'll be another 4 months before I see mine at my door. Post your hype and sadness about playing the waiting…

Yeah I'm wondering the water ratio as well. I find that it has a texture, but nothing I would ever call "gritty"... and I'm pretty damn fussy about texture. I've heard both that a blender made it frothy and somewhat hurt the flavor, and that it makes…

Here's my recipe: http://diy.soylent.me/recipes/robs-version-of-quidnycs-ketofood-for-ongoing-ketosis The title says it all. I'm having issues with my DIY recipe, and I was hoping people might have some tips. I went and got all the ingredients from…

What's your water to powder ratio? Adjusting that may help with texture.

I've spilled a lot of virtual ink on Soylent over the past year—I count thirteen pieces, including the five-day experiment from last summer when I ate nothing but the stuff for a full week. This, though, is probably the last Soylent-specific piece that…

You can live on Soylent alone, Mr. Rhinehart claims, though in practice he said customers would most likely use it to replace just their “staple meals,” by which he meant most of the junk you eat every day to fill yourself up. Mr. Rhinehart argued that…

I am looking for someone in the Twin Cities to split a batch of one of the Soylent formulas online. It would be a formula that most closely mirrors the USDA recommended values. The one I have in mind costs $400 for a batch of ingredients that would last…

I went to give blood today, and was rejected solely because I was on soylent (DIY based off of people chow). They understood it was healthy (after a 10 minute discussion) but said they needed me to have eaten solid food, some meat and potatoes. Just a…

How about a blender ball? That's what I use for my DIY...

The particles in Soylent 1.0 are by far my biggest issue with it. I'm doing all the right things WITHOUT resorting to investing in a blender. Massaging the pouch before opening to eliminate clumps Adding oil only after having added water and shaken…

If you want, you can add caffeine to your DIY. I do. I put 100mg (0.1 g) in with 200mg of L-Theanine. I got the caffeine first and it did make me a little jittery since I had been off my drug of choice, Pepsi, since I started DIY. I think about 2 months.…

Hi. Thank you for your interest. Lamentably Im basing my operations in Mexico and I have not been allowed to ship powders to the USA, therefore I will be selling only within Mexico. Im sure a keto soylent will be available soon in the USA. QuidNYC is…

it's a sugar alcohol, in moderation I'm sure it's fine but this gives me pause: http://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2014/01/whats-in-those-haribo-gummy-bears/283162/ From the Xylitol wikipedia page: As with other sugar alcohols, with the exception…

I use xylitol in my DIY in addition to chewing xylitol gum.

I'm going to remove the whey protein. It's the one I use when I go to the gym and when I bought it I wasn't really worried about the taste as I saw it as a necessary evil. Now that I may have to live on it for much longer than expected, I'll have to go…

Do you know yet which specific ingredient lends most to the offending flavor? Try tasting them individually to see what you find most revolting and experient with different brands when you find out. I know some olive oils are much better than others,…

The last is a good point. I always wipe that residue away when I'm done pouring. Since I pour basically once a day, this works well for me.

Wouldn't surprise me to find quite a few musicians in here... anyone want to start a "share your Soundcloud (or whatever) link" thread?

The Sterilite pitcher is NOT spillproof. They're a decent pitcher, but they can even leak when you shake it too hard. I don't like the way that the pour spout and lid interface- there's overlap, so whatever you have can dry on the pour spout and gum up/glue…

To be fair, some people may not be able to use their supply since it shipped at an inconvenient time and it only helps everyone to put it up. This was the case for @Jeff_Ex who I bought mine from, and he sold it at a reasonable price to boot! Side note:…

yeah, totally not fair to everyone else that those ebayers can get a constant supply to sell on ebay making tons of money while the rest of us wait for our first orders

3 meals a day? Constant sip? Beer hat? All in the morning till you feel like you wanna burst?

Where are you seeing it for $130/week on ebay? All the completed listing I see for 1 week of non-vegan Soylent are in the $250-300 range. I can't believe people are willing to spend $14 per meal, which translates into $42 per day! I would expect prices…

I plan on using this for two meals a day and cooking one slightly carb heavy vegetarian dinner each day. I would appreciate any input. Thanks! http://diy.soylent.me/recipes/lennys-version-of-superfood

I'm not certain this pitcher is airtight, but it is pretty close. I definitely hear a pressure pop when I open it the first morning after mixing it (IE the temperature has dropped in the fridge, reducing the pressure in the container). However, I do…

I like the Takeya Airtight pitcher because it is, well, airtight. I can't imagine what some spilled Soylent fermenting in my trunk on a hot summer day would smell like. I do want something insulated, though, in the 1-day size, to keep cool. Just ordered…

If anyone was interested, I've found that this pitcher is actually quite a good pitcher. I happened to have two on hand from a previous purchase (I bought them at Walmart years ago I believe). They are BPA free and actually seal pretty tightly. I do…

I found that sucking on a square of chocolate that is 99% cocoa helps immensely with removing the flavour off my mouth after consuming my abomination. Also, no more hunger pangs. I took a glass of it at 9am, more or less 500 calories, and am now, 12…

Redid the recipe with Lecithin this time. I had half of it for breakfast and I'm definitely feeling fuller. I suspect that's because for breakfast my stomach isn't yet expecting much solid food so I sort of got away with it. The flavour is between horrible…

Hey I was interested in purchasing your DIY keto Soylent. Please let me know how to go about getting it. Thanks!

this is what i came up with for a cheaper masa, switiching the protein to a pea/rice/soy mix from truenutrition and subbing cia seeds for the expensive oil i purposefully went a little under on the carbs and over on the protein because i will be ting…

I don't see a need at present for it in any of my recipes, but have seen that many Soylenteers prefer to chew xylitol gum.

Soylent, a California-based product, claims to be able to accomplish just that: nourish your body with everything it needs, with no food substitution necessary. The food substitute was created by software engineer Robert Rhinehart, and its first shipment…

Soylent 1.0 uses Sucralose, which appears to be harmless especially in the quantities used in Soylent. But check out Xylitol. It has a number of health benefits and no known toxicity in humans. Xylitol on Wikipedia Is this a thing for the DIY crowd?

As long as it isn't called *Soylent*, it's okay I guess?

Including a logo sticker in every package is an awesome idea. Apple does that with every product. I recommend you also include one of just the "hexagon S" logo, instead of (or in addition to) the "lowercase soylent in a rectangle" logo.

Congrats!!! Really looking forward to hearing how it goes. Just a suggestion based on my own and others' experiences... don't make yourself miserable just to stick to some arbitrary 100% Soylent goal. If you find on occasion that you just plain want…

@Sriracha, that's of course hoping that it doesn't explode in your freezer before it has a chance to cool down.

I'm creating a ketogenic recipe at the moment which is 99% complete - apart from a very low phosphorus count. I can't find any information on my current Whey protein having phosphorus in it, and I do not want to take the risk of assuming it does. I know…

Ever since getting a vitamix blender last year, I've been really interested in meal replacement shakes. I absolutely love the idea of soylent, as I eat mainly for sustainance and don't want to spend time shopping, prepping, cooking, clieaning if I can…

I am looking into using isomaltulose as a very low GI carbohydrate source, but the best deal I can find is at 10$/pound. Does anyone know of any cheaper or bulk sources? The only way I have found to get a better deal is to order 100 kg from China at…

Gotcha, yeah I'd ultimately love to see Soylent on Amazon since we do so much of our shopping there already. RandomMrdan said: On a side note, I think I've seen a number of your videos on YouTube... you and your wife have a online blog/website right?…
