At some point in our evolutionary history, there was strong selection pressure towards making salt so appealing to our palette. As such, I do think the importance of salt towards healthy metabolism is probably underestimated. We know that sodium is…

I just wash it out. Problem solved.

Sigh. Tell me about it! In oh so many ways ....

I hear. In the same fix. Get a notice that 'your order will be shipped soon' but that has gone on for months. NOT HAPPY

Out of curiosity, what was the vinegar for? Why'd you add that?

Thank you so much for being a guinea pig here. Gives me the confidence to potentially "waste" an entire day's worth of official Soylent to see about the cracker making potential of it. I'll get around to it as soon as I can, and report back here.

How was your hunger level on the Low Carb Chocolate? Did you have many cravings when doing 100% food?

Are you suggesting only mixing 1/2 a batch for the first few days and supplementing that with meals? Your comment about only 1L is ambiguous.

Some people's hypertension is salt sensitive, some not so much. If you aren't hypertensive, you probably aren't salt sensitive. Cardiologists recommend limiting your salt intake to 1500 mg if you've had a cardiac event. If you haven't, and you don't have…

Your 1-2 week reorder-shipment privilege as a repeat customer doesn't start until your original order is shipped. (A lot of us who are still awaiting our first taste of Soylent 1.0 would just order some more, if it would be shipped in 1-2 weeks because…

I had emailed and asked this question several months ago.. the answer they basically gave me was : We're not sure exactly where it will end up in the shipping queue, just re-order after you've received your first order.

I just ordered everything off this list from amazon with a few exceptions. I already have some protein powder and carb complex that I'll use and I traded the salt substitute for some sea salt that I like and the soybean oil for coconut oil. These may…

I saw a recent post where someone asked if a backer were to place an order on the main Soylent website, would that order be considered a new customer, or a returning customer. I believe the VP of Marketing, or something similar, replied to the question…

Thanks @Muggle for objective review. That's good that you liked Low Carb Chocolate. It seems we found a pleasant way to loose weight...

Dash of Salt Does No Harm. Extremes Are the Enemy. Even after adding an extra 400mg of salt (1/4 Tsp), The Soylent I'm consuming is only giving me about 1500mg of salt per day (I'm eating about 1500 calories of Soylent each day). According to the article…

Hrmm.. if only there were a way to directly contact the soylent team.. like sending a message directly from me to them.. as if, I could create a digital letter with my name on it and assign it to be delivered directly to them.. Oh well, guess we'll just…

Een eigen preparaat zou wel echt ideaal zijn! Maar ik kan me inderdaad voorstellen dat dat prijzig is. De stoffen zijn wellicht ook allemaal wel gewoon voor consumenten los te kopen, dan zou je het ook zelf kunnen doen. Maar dat zal wel weer een heel…

Cool thread. Reminders: A lot of these add-ins bring calories. If you're a "Soylent to lose weight" person, pay attention to that. Remember the salt. Salt suppresses bitters and brings out many other flavors - even if there's not enough salt for it…

Die Idee mit den Supermärkten als Bezugsquelle finde ich super - machst Du noch weiter mit der Rezeptur? Ich glaube die Multivitamintabletten von Aldi haben das beste Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis.

What I've been doing that works really well is adding peanut butter chocolate powder that can be found at your local grocery store (I get it at Walmart) and a banana and blend it, the powder is nice because it is only 45 calories a serving (which you…

Heh. I know the feeling. I was wishing I'd done 4 weeks when all those people were getting theirs lol

Ik zit hier ook een beetje mee, je leest veel berichten dat synthetische vitamines niet goed zijn, dus met dit recept zou dat dan toch leiden tot een tekort? Eigenlijk is dit het enige wat me er van weer houdt om over te stappen op "drinkbaar eten". Heb…

Dang! I should have ordered 2 weeks. I ordered on the same day, but only 1 week.

I ordered a months worth in the beginning of May and still haven't gotten my order. Its annoying that they instantly charged me, yet over 3 months later still nothing.

Disgruntle with Hyman somehow transmogrifies to a political issue with you, anti-LIBRULL shrillisms. Ick, yuk. Get a life, and start eating real food maybe.

Enter Soylent, the gulp that sustains. Its primary components are a powder made from maltodextrin, rice protein, oat flour, and more vitamins and minerals than mid-century food scientists ever managed to pack into a loaf of Wonder Bread, plus a liquid…

After my first day, I have to say that it taste great - minus the cayenne lol. I had to put very little cayenne in todays mix, and it taste really great. I also put some Stevia Extract in my mix as well.

Zutaten, die man einfach ersetzen kann: - Natron = Backpulver, gibt es quasi überall, für diejenigen, die keine 5kg-Packung von Amazon wollen. Besser wären allerdings Bullrich-Salz oder Kaiser-Natron, die reines Natriumhydrogencarbonat darstellen. Im…

I assume eating only 1500 calories of Soylent a day means I am getting about 75% of my RDA for all the other nutrients. Is there any way to tackle this, other than switching to a home-brew, until Soylent makes a female version? I am absolutely loving…

I saw one or two posts from a while ago in the /r/soylent archives about palatinose, but it seems to have stagnated and fizzled out as an idea since then, why so? As far as I can tell, it seems to be in every way a superior carb source. Low GI, mild…

So I came across this Soylent stuff and I was intrigued. I looked into buying it from the main website until I saw the waiting period. So I looked at the DYI section and found this recipe. http://diy.soylent.me/recipes/people-chow-301-tortilla-perfection…

Joylent has the sweetness of when you add too many sugars to tea or coffee. It's probably much less than soda drinkers consume but it makes it taste unhealthy to me. It makes me wonder if going by the RDA the right thing to do; is the RDA the recommended…

Bedankt voor je bericht, ik heb je aanmerkingen genoteerd. Zodra het wat minder hectisch is gaan we weer verder met de ontwikkeling van de formule. We hopen uiteindelijk een eigen vitaminepreparaat te kunnen laten maken waar we uitsluitend de kwalitatief…

Wij gebruiken een productieproces die heel veel lijkt op die van een bakker die meel-mixes verkoopt (bijvoorbeeld voor 'omas pannenkoeken' oid.) We moeten het productieproces nog vastleggen en op de website posten, het is echter erg hectisch op het moment.

Het recept op deze website is 1:1 het zelfde als de man afvallen versie. Het onderlinge verschil tussen de versies zit hem puur in de hoeveelheid maltodextrine, super pea, wei en fine oats. Ik zal de ingredienten nog een keer nalopen op de webshop, wellicht…

I'm 37 and in decent shape and started with 2 of my 3 m3als being soylent for a week. I had exactly the same effects. The first 2 days I felt fine, super full every time I drank it, but overall, my energy levels were normal. By the 3rd day, I felt…

Did you add suger just for the taste factor?

While you wait I suggest you don't eat fast food heh (wish I could tell myself that and listen) it will still be a few months before you get your Soylent since you placed your order so late :3 would suck if the fast food ended you the day your Soylent…

Up hill is one of the hardest task for legs that are not trained for it gj

August 25, 2014. It has been just over two months since I placed my order. It feels like years! I've been eating fast food every single day. I feel like I am waiting for the Wonka golden ticket.

I'm trying to find a reliable source of bulk powders and whatnot within Canada, reason being that generally most of the US Amazon products can't ship here.

If anyone's interested: I've been using this recipe for about 80% of my week day meals (weekends I eat out a lot with friends) for about 2-3 months straight. There is definitely a huge difference on days where I eat "normal" foods and snacks and no…

Oh, and I'm 20# down, mostly due to the keto-focused large lunch/dinner salad, but I credit the diy soylent with keeping me going until lunch! Texture is thick and a little 'chewy' from coconut meal, coffee, and flax -- I consider this a major plus,…

Since July, only for breakfast/AM. Lunch-dinner is protein+salad+fat spread out over afternoon/evening. Felt a little groggy the first few days (as to be expected with the keto plans) but that was *very* mild and now I feel normal!

I absolutely agree with you. My problem was incorrect/insuffcient training leading up to the race. I've already formulated a partial plan for next year.

So I have been on official Soylent for about 13 days now (about 95% because of my birthday or else it would be 100%). Anyways, the only craving I have had is a craving for texture. I have found a guilt free way of getting your daily crunch especially…

I`ve heard the same about flax oil too. I would put straight fish oil but I`m afraid that would taste very bad.

Seems pretty easy. I just plugged in a ratio popular among vegan protein drink enthusiasts (never thought I'd get to say that) and flattened the amounts of the vegetables I've been using. It should allow more choice with vegetables and fewer supplements.…

Thank you! I definitely would not have tested it with that level of rigorousness (since I didn't know how all of that worked). I'll skip the vitamin c the day I test it.

Yeah, I guess you could soak/sprout beans/grains and turn them into a drink. Sounds like a lot of work to me. The 10 ingredients in the amounts above supply 100% of everything, so no powders (or sprouting) needed. More work to eat food in solid form…

I have tried emailing.

You've inspired me to move further toward whole foods. Why not soak (or sprout) beans and grains in place of powders? They have the added benefit of supplying pantothenic acid, choline, and other micros. I'd still probably puree, dilute and drink. That…

I personally have no problem with you posting a review here. In fact I think it has MORE value here because people can feel safer about it's validity and purpose for existing on a neutral platform as opposed to the companies own website. Thats just…

Don't forget with Soylent you will not be dealing with spoilage. I can feed myself (and my family) for less then $3 per meal. The big problem though is that the cost of the items going into the meal is only part of the story. I have Spoilage issues…

A note on this - I have looked into the oat flour thing and a cheaper option would be to buy plain rolled oats and put them in the blender to make oat flour - you could end up paying $20.00 less (than the $39.00 oat flour) if you look around. (Correct…

Thanks so much!

Jop, sind teilweise wirklich sehr hoch. Würde deshalb auch davon abraten. Leider gibt es kaum Tabletten mit "wenig" Vitamin D

I never received this late July e-mail everyone is talking about. Am I missing from the shipping queue? I ordered on 5/5/14, and I confirmed my pledge, and I got the pledge confirmation e-mail on 5/8. No communication since then. Checked spam. Is this…

Cool experiment - thanks for sharing. Looking forward to watching your progress. Do you try to spread the ingredients out to all meals, or do some just get eaten all at once? And do you save some of it for between-meal snacks?

I ordered a one month supply of soylent before the christmas of 2013, at this rate they wont have the product to me before this christmas. We even did a reorder last month, because they are taking so long, and not replying to my emails, so we ordered…
