Complete Foods News

I'm really looking forward to this adventure. It will be awesome to see how a slight change in nutrition acquisition will effect this 39 year old's health.

I can't emphasize enough: Yes, Soylent, when made properly is safe, and significantly healthier than the food most people in the world eat (including me right now); but, when it is improperly mixed/applied, it can result in a visit to the hospital, or…

Same issue with chomeVersion 25.0.1364.160 Ubuntu 12.10

That would actually benefit me as I need to gain weight. I hope this project will evolve into variations for people's varying needs.

Hello all I'm running Opera 12.14 on Ubuntu 12.04, and in the upper right corner there is a green "1" above the notifications icon. The problem is that no amount of clicking, mouse overing, double clicking, right clicking, tabbing focus there, and/or…

Yes, I have tried to do it by myself but it's not going really well. I have two main issues: 1) I can't seem to find an appropriate source of fat. Olive oil as Rob suggested just tastes awful! 2) My soylent version does not make me feel full. So I crawl…

It would be good to know which parts of the Soylent mixture would have to be adjusted to fit an individual and respective amounts to step up/down. Also it would be useful to know how to keep the mixture calibrated over time when the body's need changes…

I have been for 3 weeks and it's going excellent. Strange I thought Discourse had an option to "reply as a new topic" because this deserves its own topic and not the Meta introductory post. I don't see it though.

i've been trying to get in touch with rob for awhile now as to the recipe and instructions. i signed up to be a tester and have yet to hear back from him. my questions are more as to are there any specific steps in the mixing process, just like baking/cooking,…

I'll admit I am not a patient man. Usually what appears to be patience is just the end result of being incredibly busy. Trying to get together a safe formulation of soylent based on the information in the blog post seems like a risky venture. If there…

If you want to know technical differences, the quantity of certain ingredients are very different. For instance you can buy a very "complete" multivitamin (this also applies to meal replacements) with 100% of the FDA's daily value for many micronutrients,…

Awesome that you started a forum about soylent. I am the Host of the Techno-Optimist podcast and featured soylent a few episodes ago. I did a radical body transformation 2 years ago, 350lb down to 200 and competed in the Ironman Triathlon last june. I…

Could you state some reasons that these are your favorite books? In particular why would they be preferable to other biology books? I'm thinking we can start something like the list of best textbooks at lesswrong.com for biology books.

OK - I'll join in and I'd like to tweak a recipe with people's inputs My weekday nutrition plan: Vitamins in morning One Source Mens (2 capsules) link Potassium Gluconate 595mg Calcium Carbonate with Vitamin D (1.2g) Magnesium with chelated Zinc…

would like to get it out there that it should be as scientific as possible and for that there is an issue with the GDA many types of foods. I'm not sure that the carb to fat to protein ratio is right. I've read a few papers that put down saturates but…

I feel as though meal replacements that are already on the market either are not made to replace all of an individual's meals or are not made to satisfy the nutritional requirements of an active metabolism. I have not extensively studied all meal replacements…

At the time of this writing, the notifications don't work. I have a small 1 indicating that a notification is available to me, however clicking it triggers the error "GET http://discourse.soylent.me/notifications 404 (Not Found)"

This has been on my mind since I first started reading about Soylent. What are the major differences between the product you hope to produce and what is already available on the market? Meal replacement shakes are huge business and exist in a wide variety.…

A very nice site I've stumbled upon is http://examine.com/. You can look up a wide variety of substances along with research papers on their effects. Most of the supplements have a nice table showing the various results of the studies (eg effect on…

I'm having trouble finding where the option is to create a new linked topic, but it seems like the best way to keep this topic organized is to create sub-topics for the specific ingredient you have information or questions about; I'm sure sub-topics will…

I would recommend filing this description under a new category definition for a new category: SiteBugs (I thought Bugs first, but wouldn't want some to confuse it with the insect variety). That way, Meta can be for any general discussions, while the…

I figured I would attempt to introduce this thread to track the intricacies of the evolving ingredients list for those who want to personalize their own recipe, or for those that already do who want to share their specific reasoning for certain adjustments…

The three generally accepted "satiety" hormones are: Cholecystokinin, Ghrelin, and Leptin Cholecystokinin (CCK) seems simple enough. When the small intestine detects macronutrients CCK is released, binding to CCK receptors throughout the nervous system,…
