ive only just got into soylent, ive tried this for a while and it is a chore to eat, the odd flavourings really don't help so ive substituted all the natural ingredients with a multivitamin containing nutrients from natural sources, ive found a way to…

I received my month's worth of Soylent about a week and a half ago, and just made my last bag out of a weeks box. I think at this point, I don't think I can continue to eat Soylent. I've been unable to "ease into it" as the suggestions provide. I won't…

My diet is fairly healthy. A lot of fruit, whole grain breads, and most workdays I have a Fiber One high-fiber bar. I don't think the quantity of gas on my regular diet is much less, but at least it's usually odorless.

Hello- I have 13 days worth of Soylent available. If you are still waiting for your order, I can send you this supply. Send me a PM so we can figure out the most cost-effective way to ship it to you. It was $130 for two weeks, so subtract one day…

Agreed, but I can't find the sulfur content of an egg anywhere online. 180mg Sulfur/55mg Egg makes no sense. How can you get more sulfur than the amount of egg you started with? Hopefully someone is better at google than I am and will supply us with a…

Adding banana extract is great!

Hey guys, day 16 is up. fitting-pajamas.ghost.io Soylent Day 16 - A Change of Pace Today has been an uneventful day. I discovered last night that today is Labor day and that I had the off. There goes my structured work…

Hahaha, yeah I'm not strong enough . Free booze and food at beach resort is so very tempting. I've been thinking about the sacrifices that are necessary to achieve 7% body fat. It takes some serious dedication and saying no. I may have to start saying…

Please check your PMs.

It would be a shame to inflict mustard gas on a group of hurricane survivors . I've noticed similar experiences reported, including my own. You mentioned that your previous diet was high fiber. Was it generally plant-based and healthy, as opposed to…

Please tell me how you could ever get that I want to be moved up the shipment line by my original post. I very, very clearly stated that I simply wanted to be upgraded to a subscription, and that for my first shipment to be that 1-month supply. I never…

I've been blending everything lately, but this is clearly too much fiber for me. I'm going back to blending the greens and juicing the others.

I asked because OneOfMany07 had suggested in the comments to Quid's "Ongoing Ketofood" that raw cacao may still be heated to acrylamide-generating temperatures by the sun-drying process: http://diy.soylent.me/recipes/quidnycs-ketofood-for-ongoing-ketosis…

I was 2-week supply purchaser, so I got my official Soylent 1.0 just a few days ago. I had read of the bloating and smelly gas problems some people experienced, so I decided to ease in with two half days of Soylent, then switch to full days for the remainder.…

When @JulioMiles or @MattCauble sees this we should get an explanation for how you can do that.

No problem at all, you too :) I trust you were able to find the paste of the reply ok?

There is controversy over canola because of its GMO and processing with Hexane. I am trying to produce a recipe that is as non controversial and non allergenic as possible. Using this recipe you should be able to replace everything with Organic Non GMO.…

Thanks! This is why I tried hip hop Abbs I love dancing since I started a few days ago I have had more energy!!

Hi Ruipacheco, as Johnp_ already pointed out, this is my linkedin profile: http://nl.linkedin.com/pub/pablo-pena/2a/60a/9a83Feel absolutely free to get in touch at any time. As for your second question, we've tailored our vitablend to fit the RDAs of…

I really appreciate the time you took to reply! Thanks a lot. I'm still researching about the whole thing. Best of luck with your soylent journey!

oh vielen Dank für die Information :) dann werde ich mein Rezept mal überarbeiten ^^ EDIT: ich habe mich bei der Angabe definitiv mit 2000 ng auf 100 ml verrechnet ^^'

I think he meant that he would rather just get a month's worth when it does come in. Not to try move up the line.

I think they only have one Pablo Pena working at Joylent right now: http://nl.linkedin.com/pub/pablo-pena/2a/60a/9a8

Thanks for the report - should be fixed now.

I just canceled my 14 bag subscription and was going to re-subscribe for 28 bags. It looks like that isn't a great way to solve this problem. On the customer portal page at that point there wasn't any way to place a 28 bag order. When I returned to…

I've been having this for a little over a week for ~2 meals a day. I feel pretty good. It tastes a lot like Cocoa Pebbles which is awesome.

PenaAbellan said: Hi everyone, Pablo Pena here new Head of R&D at Joylent. Can we see a LinkedIn profile? This is meaningless as it is. Our current vitamin/mineral blend has been custom made for us and therefore poses close to zero risk of creating…

Since an excess of protein does not go into muscles (our body has an upper limit for that) - I think that people just looking for loose weight options. Studies show that people on low-carb diets lose more weight and faster, than people on low-fat diets……

That is great idea, @asympt it would prevent less profitable single bag orders or thereabouts.

How are you getting the protein powder at that price? It looks to be considerably more expensive than listed.

See the above comment about this. If you follow the pastbin link you'll see all the details, but basicly you want to divide the protein 70:30 between the pea and rice. When I actually get my hands on some rice protein I'll adjust the recipe to reflect…

I'm not too familiar with nutrients in general, and I was wondering if someone could elucidate this to me. Looking at the nutrition facts, People Chow 3.0.1 has 156% the recommended daily serving of choline, which would be 858mg. The recipe says to add…

I recently received my batch of Soylent 1.0, and I am also finding this to be the biggest problem with the product. The sandiness/grittiness is a real distraction and an impediment to enjoyment. I follow the included pitcher-preparation instructions…

I get the same thing in Firefox. Just click in the Ingredient box and you'll only get 1 popup.

When clicking on the amount field for an ingredient, two pop ups are spawned and you can't enter a new amount in, you must use the + or - icons if you want the adjustment to be saved. True for iOS and ChromeOS. ChromeOS also renders the text in buttons…

My Soylent finally arrived (yea!). After drinking the first days supply plain, I added 2 tbl of the Malt powder to the second batch along with a little chocolate syrup and I really liked it. I think it tastes much better, the malt gives it a much better…

I make one meal at a time. 150g of soylent in the blender, 150g of ice, 350g of water (probably a bit less than the recommended amount of water). Then I blend on the smoothie setting, and stop it a few seconds after the first speed increase.

Is is alright that micro-nutrients such as potassium and magnesium and the like are the same between the ketogenic and non-ketogenic diets? I've read (mostly from reddit) that people on a ketogenic diet require more of these nutrients to prevent cramping…

I did a double-take this morning when I went to my recipe page. Pretty spiffy looking! Much nicer layout than the recipe editor for gandering. I must say this site has some impressive programming and usability behind it and it is great fun to use. Thanks…

I also want a 3 week supply. I see myself switching monthly from 4 to 2 and back unless they fix this.

Hi everyone, Pablo Pena here new Head of R&D at Joylent.The old formula (which was developed by Joey himself with little to no prior knowledge of food technology/Nutrition) has now been adapted to overcome these setbacks. Our current vitamin/mineral blend…

I made a big long reply to this but it doesn't seem to have shown up. Hmmmm, it seems to be links that are killing it. If you go to pastebin using this code you should find it: JxQpXeeq

So I'm morbidly obese, and am hoping to make soylent part of a new healthy life style to correct that. Does anyone have advice for recipes or any general advise for using soylent for this purpose? Thanks in advance!

Hi @Koningsbruggen Order #1222 from August the 11th... No shipment followup has been provided so far, nor any answer to my several emails (I've tried every single email available on the website...).So, I'm wondering when I will get my shipment? Are…

I've just posted a fairly significant update to the DIY site. You'll notice that [Recipe page](http://diy.soylent.me/recipes/people-chow-301-tortilla-perfection) look a little different now. Here's a list of updates: * Added 'Nutritional Facts' to the…

If that were possible I think a lot more people would be doing it..including myself...

http://fnic.nal.usda.gov/fnic/interactiveDRI/ Put in your stats and it should give you an idea of your DRI profile

Love the new look and the nutrition label on the right.Great redesign and thanks for all the work you do for the DIY crowd.

My DIY has now progressed to the 1.1 stage and I am happier than ever with it, I can't see staying with Soylent, there are just to many compromises. I haven't had any gas or headache issues, and no problems with sugar spikes causing hunger in a few hours.…

As long as they pack a week's worth into a box, the number of bags ordered should at least have to be a multiple of 7.

Any word on international deliveries (3 months) from the original campaign? Long time without any emails.

Per site policy, selling soylent is not allowed here. This topic is now closed. New replies are no longer allowed.

Well might try separate it into fine particles somehow? It would be gritty though.

How about this: Let customers select # of bags? Subs can be certain user selected # of bags per month too. Perfect for people who do NOT use Soylent for all meals for example.

Vitamin K is supplemented using Pine Needle tea.

Loving the improvements! You're gonna make me get back to writing recipes just so I can play with the new site. 😊

I'm in a similar boat. I ordered the official Soylent to a US address, but am still waiting. Meanwhile, I've gone the DIY route, and am intending to go more or less 100%, once I work out the kinks. One of those kinks is gas / bloating. Almost the effect…

Yeah I just gulp it down, after all one of the main reasons for me is time management. Yeah I'm at about 90%, so I don't even bother with the oil as it's such a small quantity that I figure I get enough of it from the normal food.

Yep this is my permanent recipe, I'm very happy with it. I didnt go with People Chow originally mostly because I've heard about people not being able to tolerate the masa texture/taste, whereas oats are quite palatable. I made this one because of logistics,…

Notes in the Overview is PERFECT. The ability to reorder ingredients in the edit recipe is great. The slider bar if I'm not mistaken was in a different place? At any rate it is great now. The Nutrition Facts panel in the Overview is splendid.…

This is rad Is there a way to unset a volume for a given ingredient? Some of my items now say "cup" in them even though I never actually set a volume. Others don't, not sure what the difference is between the two items though.[edit: seems that editing…

Love the new look. The DIY site is what I like best about Soylent. It's a whole new way to think about nutrition for me. The DIYs I've created with it have me feeling the best I've felt in years. Thank you! As for additions, amino acids are at the top…

I'd rather eat a dirty sock.

I've just posted a fairly significant update to the DIY site. You'll notice that Recipe pages look a little different now Added 'Nutritional Facts' to the right of recipes. Items go red if under the target or over the max. Easier to read ingredients…

@unsynchronized I tried mine over breakfast/lunch over 2 days (except for people chow) so I could get a feel for what its like to eat it during the work week. My review/thoughts follow below (I had never tasted any soylent type products so apart from…

meat shmeat. toss in tofu!

Yep, teveel ijzer voor langere tijd is niet gezond. Misschien het recept wat aanpassen zodat je minder ijzer binnenkrijgt? De behoefte van ijzer is voor vrouwen zowiezo anders dan voor mannen.

Got it working, finally. Created my account, info was already in there and I was able to update it.

You can just click my username, then click Private Message to PM me. I might already have received enough requests, though.

Seriously, you think THAT vacation was more fun than staying home and drinking Soylent? You are a weak-willed loser. 😉 BTW does your company have any openings? 😃

High temperatures can denature a bunch of the vitamins and amino acids found in multi-vitamins. Also, melted gummy liquid hardens very rapidly back into gelatin form, so I have no idea how that would mix with soylent. It'd be a fun experiment but I don't…

You might be able to melt the gummy down to a syrup and then mix it in... I don't see a reason not to try at least.

Update. I've been eating about 50% soylent and adding a banana to it to get some form of potassium in order to not die of potassium deficiency. I've been feeling kind of weird whenever I drink soylent like I'm having problems digesting it. Also had an…

@JulioMiles I placed an order on 5/15/2014 (order number 6016) for a 1 week supply of Soylent. I am one of the unlucky people who got the delayed e-mail, which sucks, because I really want to get this Soylent in my hands and in my body. Is there a way…

While I appreciate the team's concern for taste, I doubt that they did enough testing with a sufficiently diverse sample of people. Many people on the forum, myself included, find that Soylent 1.0 is way too sweet for them. If a sweetener is absolutely…

How do I PM you? try PM me please

I had tried that with peanut butter cookies, but there were so many of them I don't think I can realistically eat them all in one day... Although, I suppose if I kept extra ingredients to a minimum it might not be a whole lot of them... Maybe I could…

I serioulsy doubt "Drug traffickers" would put cocaine in a baggie and label it "protein powder" and think they'd be "good to go."

It's been 5 days since my last posting guys, sorry about that guys. I was on a retreat and was occupied Friday and Saturday. This weight loss journey is a lot trickier than I had anticipated and it's not Soylent's fault. Here is a recap of the last 5…

According to feedback to our 21 flavor Set - the best options to make it more yummy are: Chocolate (not raw cocoa - it's too boring, but chocolate mix) Strawberry (natural or freeze dried) Shredded coconut Blueberry (natural or freeze dried) You may…

I have 5 weeks worth of actual Soylent to sell. I will take orders in any multiple of one week. Please PM me; we'll figure out pricing there. The main issue is that I don't know how much shipping it is going to cost me; it might also cost different…

I think it would be hard to disperse a gum and you will need to swallow it in parts.But if you swallow - why not to swallow multivitamin you have?

In my attempts to make my own diy soylent, I found that the multivitamin, for how little of the overall mass it represented, made a significant negative impact on the texture and flavor of the end result. Has anyone tried using gummy multivitamins instead?…

I'm not sure if this kind of problem has come up for anyone else so I thought I'd post here and ask: I'm a backer and received my initial 4 week shipment near the end of June. I've just finished it and wanted to reorder so I went to the web page and…

But as someone who did not receive a notification regarding a delay... Got my "address confirmation & delay notification" email yesterday. 4-6 additional weeks estimated before my product will be delivered. So, from the outside, it looks like they're…

I tried Soylent for the first time today and it is definitely too sweet for me. I am glad that I am not the only one. The fact that it is an artificial sweetener is a separate but potentially equally important issue. I think that separating ingredients…

I haven't subscribed yet because I'm still waiting on my original 2 week order. I guess cancel, then resub the 1 week and then 2 week, etc. That'll be my only option.

I thought about switching my subscription amount periodically but on the customer portal web page there is no option to change the subscription size. The only option is to cancel the order. How did you change your subscription size?

How many ML of Sunflower Oil should be added? There seems to be some missing values in the table. Thanks!

Saturated fats from MCTs aren't really a huge concern, as the lipid length is much shorter and the melting temperature below body temp, unlike most other long-chain triglycerides. (Interestingly, meta-reviews have come out recently in highly credible…

Know what would be cool.. if they actually put these updates in highly visible areas.. or atleast pinned it.. the only thing thats been pinned here is the moderation update which is completely useless for people wanting to actually know about whats going…

@JulioMiles suggested to me (I wanted a customer sub) that I should do 2 weeks and then switch my sub to a 1 week for the following month. Same could be achieved here, go with the 4 week/month and then switch to 2 weeks. This will get you a 3 week supply…

I agree, I'm going through about 4 bags a week, so 21 days would be a lot closer to what I need than 14 or 28.

Beano didnt work for me but quitting trident helped quite a bit. http://ericmnichols.blogspot.com/2014/08/3-weeks-on-soylent.html Any other recommendations?

@Foulzor one month orders placed before May 6 have all ostensibly already been shipped. Yours must have fallen through the cracks. Tagging some key individuals so they can look into it: @JulioMiles @MattCauble @ana

Yeah, well, the whole TSA thing is pretty ludicrous when you get right down to it. Logic doesn't exist in TSA Land.
