I've been shifting over to using rice protein (as inspired by Soylent, and exemplified in my Schmoylent recipe) so I guess this just gives me one more incentive to continue the trend...

I will as of now try and remove my whey protein source if it's from a ultra pasteurized source and replace it with ether a low dAGE Whey or use a blend of mainly soy and pea protean. i recommend others to reconsider the use of whey in the DIY recipes

I would like to bring forth the attention to dAGE to the Soylent community as it could be a major threat manly for the DIY Population as we often have whey as our main protein source, as it contains a big amount of dAGE in it compared to "normal" mule…

Actually, that was a joke, but thanks for your opinion. As long as people fail to see that we indeed are not separate from one another and are one organic whole, it doesn't matter what fucking sociopolitical structure we live under, we are still going…

Tomorrow it begins! Will be putting videos together, and tracking what I can. Feels good to have it here, and I decided I am going all in on the first day, might get smelly though, haha. soylenthere.jpg540x960 81.7 KB soylenthere.jpg540x960 81.7 KB…

hey there! I somehow goofed on the niacin content of the gnc max: check the ingredient in my modified recipe, it will make that go green for you.

you do know you don't need the msm powder as the sulfur is in the whey protein.

I'd prefer to be able to pick as well. USPS is the only company I can get deliveries to my house 7 days a week, UPS delivers to me Wednesday and Friday and Fedex doesn't deliver to me. Currently, I'm using someone else's address to receive my Soylent,…

STOP!!!! REMOVE THE CORN MEAL IMMEDIATELY, YOUR GUT FLORA CAN'T DIGEST IT UNTREATED

Its such a shame to hear about fedex in this light, because that Tom fellow had such a hard time on that island with Wilson, and now this. If only he had a few customers orders of soylent wash up on the beach, that would have been handy.

ey lad, hur vet du de andra närings innehållet av ärt proteinet? har du testat att använda whey protein istället och kunna kommentera vad du hade yckt om skillnaden, sen varför har du en soy/ärt blandning?

i recommend you to use a blend of iodized mineral salts

1) I wish there was a way to simply get a blood sample taken locally, and then ship it to a US lab. 2) I've heard that potassium citrate is fairly strong in taste though, have you found that? Gluconate seems to be essentially tasteless. Although I'll…

Soylea said: So far not feeling full has been my biggest problem. I eat a large amount of soylent for each meal to feel full. Have you tried watering the Soylent down more? This is what I do. I mix the Soylent like normal. Then I pour about 250ml…

I noticed that I could go to work without messing around with breakfast. Also that my energy was consistent all day long. I didn't have crash between meals like when on solid food. Of course I had no issue filling the extra time with work, family and…

Ease into it, it will help minimize the gas and other effects. I just got my shipping email too and it should arrive sometime next week.

Just for reference: 100%FOOD contains 500mg Sodium per bottle (1.5g per day), so you do not need to add extra salt to it.

Oops - meant 60 x 300mg tablets - imagine paying $23 for 300mg of it :S

I've been taking this for a little while now and feel much better from it (only 1 portion a day, so only 1/3rd of it as I wanted to start slow and have encountered a few negative side effects). I've started looking at Choline Bitartrate which is one…

Hey there. I've considered crushing up the flax seeds, but yeah, everything goes into the blender minus the pills. You can get some decent models for 5,000yen - mine's pretty cheap.

Oops -- looks like i edited one of my earlier responses instead of actually replying. Here goes: Yeah so after I made my adjustments it turned out that the manganese was SUPER high. I poked around and nobody seemed to think this would be a problem but…

Sugar is for taste and a few more calories.

I have the same problem. My reorder defaulted to my paypal email address which is different than the one I originally purchased soylent with. My reorder was on 8/11.

Anyone else run across this feeling of days taking forever now? I noticed it immediately but attributed it to housesitting. This whole first week every day drags forever. A couple factors here: I'm a computer nerd that loves that feeling of losing myself…

r_soylent,Thanks for checking out the recipe and getting back to me. 1) Not really, I do have a list of things I would have liked to get checked like vit D, iron, leptin and insulin resistance, etc... but the sad fact is Canada seems to be very against…

For me, small sips throughout the day really do help, even though I would prefer to drink a large quantity and then nothing for a few hours. But drinking more than a small amount at once brings on the bubbly guts. I'm using a Contigo insulated bottle*…

I just started to explore the http://diy.soylent.me/ page and i have run into something weird: i am pretty tall 1.96 m (or 6´5´´) and i weigh 90 kg. But somehow the only things that changes with the nutrition calculator are calories and with that protein,…

No problem first day, blew the wallpaper off the bedroom walls day two. Two Beano with each meal of soylent for the next two weeks, then one each meal, now one with breakfast. No more major problems. I am 100% soylent on one day and 66% the next.

hmm, intresting. Have you always had a hunger feeling because of the lower bulk of soylent? it could be you need more "mass" and or calories like adding more outpoured in it?

And hopefully us Soylenters can help improve this situation.

No worries. Its going pretty well for me, other than an unexpected increase in hunger alongside energy. The energy would be a good thing if it didn't keep me awake at night... haha.

Thank's for the links. I'll have to set aside some time to check them out...

i maybe missed it, but how is it going now for you?

I shake mine up without a blender. I bought this carafe http://www.amazon.com/Rubbermaid-Carafe-Leak-Proof-2-quart-1878491/dp/B003EYUZLI/ from the Container Store. Washing is super easy, and so is mixing up a day of meals. I just add the oil first, then…

I'm not sure about the max dose of Potassium Citrate, but it is the only source of potassium for the recipe. The USDA recommended amount is 3.5g of potassium so you need 6g of potassium citrate to get enough.

My understanding, and quick google check, is that Whey is considered a complete protein meaning it has all of the essential amino acids. I did follow your link (thanks for posting) and was very surprised at how low the worst ones were, but in general…

I can't wait for my first comment! ...Oh wait, that'll be me.... FIRST :D

Yes, the amazon prices seemed to climb for a lot of ingredients after this recipe got popular. In this case just go to your local walmart, HEB, etc. You can still find 4 lb bags between 2 and 3 dollars.

I was going to say, there's a few good cleaning tablet options. Denture tabs work, and Camelback sells their own, which also work great. (I've got a Camelbak Mule - love it!) That said, I'd just keep the water in it. Soylent is a meal; water is for hydration.…

4-5 months? I'm hoping for 1-2 weeks by now for 1 week backers. Curious how you came up with that estimate, or might as well be correct.

Got my Soylent this morning. I ordered 2 weeks in April. Already had my first two glasses. This stuff is good. I had to stop myself from guzzling the whole pitcher so that I could ween myself onto 100% over the next week or two. And that's coming from…

It would be sad if that were the only way, but it's great that it can be an option. A lot of people are never going to want to give up conventional food for many good reasons; a lot of other people (it'll probably always be a minority) are just as happy…

I had just been reading of other 2 weekers getting their Soylent and getting the slightest bit irritated with not having mine yet when I got the shipping email. I had it delivered to my doorstep today. I'll be starting a 2 + week experiment tomorrow.…

I agree, 30%+ of Americans are in need of cheaper food that is also healthy. Food is a human experience though. People sit around and eat together. It would be sad if the only way to get adequate nutrition is over 100million Americans to live on a liquid…

What time are you having dinner @nwoll27?

Hrm, this is frustrating. After having looked through a *lot* of DIY soylent recipes, this one seems to be the best fit for me. However, I live in the US, and I'd love to be able to source these ingredients locally rather than paying a lot for international…

Ordered 1 week off the website after the original funding campaign closed, about mid-may 2014. Just got my "confirm your shipping address" e-mail. Looks like my fulfilment time is going to be about 4.0 - 4.5 months on a first time order for a one week…

Some people mentioned Beano. Heard of it?

Now at 386 lbs from 408 lbs after 2 weeks (22 lbs) Still able to go about a day and a half on one pouch of Soylent. I drink a LOT of green tea; about a gallon daily.This has keep me satisfied over all. I think without the extra fluids I would have hungry.…

Ooooohhh okay got it. Thanks for the review, good info!

1.0, the real stuff. Someone here was selling a week's supply on eBay and I took them up on it.

Or make a few bucks on eBay...

Looks like somebody wanted to try it, but not wait 4-5 months.

At first i was hoping it was just a coincidence but the low grade headache persists two days now. Maybe it's the potassium? I don't think its the artificial sweetener since I've had it before.

Yeah. And it seems to me I've seen posts from people who tested their blood sugar awhile after consuming Soylent and found it spiked too high. At some point Rob mentioned they were going to do more tests to determine the GI of Soylent 1.0, but I don't…

I started going it when I went to a higher fat consumption, and consequently higher water needs. I didn't experience it before that, though.

That being said, our existing governments are far from ideal. I just don't think anarchy is a practical alternative to achieving a form of ideal society. Ideal in a commonly accepted, subjective sense. There's no such thing as an objective ideal, technically.

I would double check that quote from @rob. This is from Sept. 2013 and at that point they may have still thought they would be using maltodextrin made from tapioca which has a lower GI than maltodextrin from corn.

@casssaxx thank you for letting us know about this. I apologize that this is the service you has to deal with. We are escalating this issue with Fedex and hope to have a resolution soon. Anyone else that has a similar issue please pm more with more information…

I gave up waiting for my Soylent to arrive and tried to make my own. As I said, i made [People Chow](http://diy.soylent.me/recipes/people-chow-301-tortilla-perfection), but the grittiness of the masa is a bit too much. I was wondering if oat or rice flour…

In addition, I'm 15, about 150-155lbs, and 5' 11".

And that is one of the reasons I dislike FedEx... Mine came in similar shape, but at least I had all my boxes.

Hey all, I've been interested in Soylent since I first heard about it since I think it'll be easier and healthier than my current diet. As the title says, I'm worried that it might not be healthy for me because I have Type 2 diabetes. I currently take…

@JulioMiles @MattCauble This is how my Soylent just arrived at my house. I told the driver that there was one box missing and he told me "take it or leave it". You can also see a big foot print on it where some one was walking on it. You can see from…

When I started doing DIY, I was drinking a lot more water than I had before. I would wake up in the middle of the night and have to pee. I almost never did before. After a little while I believe my stomach got smaller and bladder got bigger. I haven't…

Religion is the biggest, most harmful superstition, after statism. And I'm anarcho-capitalist, to be more precise, although it is a strain of libertarianism.

Well I got the "confirm your address" email for my one week order! Says to confirm by the 10th and everything looks good on it so I'm guessing that my order is finally getting close to happening!

Libertarian Christians--that's the best!

Thanks for your decidedly non-wimpy foray into Soylent Land. Happy feeding!

OP -- have you accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior of your soul? Asking for a Friend ... (Thought this post needed some religion to go along with the politics! 🙏)

That's what I just said

Not impossible, but maybe it has nothing to do with salt after all. (It could even be entirely coincidental with the Soylent of course.)

DarkbyDarkWest said: To a degree, yes, but that attitude comes from the circular logic cycle "The corporations are too powerful so we need a more powerful government to regulate the corporations." Corporation is a legal fiction constructed and enforced…

Yes. I added the recommended amount. Also later in the day I had some salted cashews. Maybe i need more salt than other people?

I have no clue to what product that translates in my country, if any.

Bananas and nuts can supplement that as well. These make excellent pancakes / crepes and when slightly burned taste like churros.

They've said they negotiated a better rate with FedEx by using them for all their orders.

Did you add the extra salt to your Soylent?

No way that is every going to be clean again. I have a hard time just cleaning my thermos after Soylent has been in it.
