This is still a work in progress - although at present its fine to use, but I change it almost on a daily basis to suit what I need/want with a eye on latest studies and cost as well as taste and availability. If you want to ask me anything, do so, but don't be a dick.

If anyone from UK, wants to "swap" a days worth, let me know & show me your recipe, always keen to try new things. Tried

  • Official Soylent
  • Joylent

Notes are for me, so excuse the rambling.

  • V1 least said soonest mended. MultiVit can be crushed, Vit Capsules are powder inside both can be added to mix, but may be best just to take them mid-day.
  • V2 Not sure on what % I want for Macros, FAT/Carbs/Protein, but less carbs is always good for weightloss, too much fat will affect texture a lot. Need to finesse it a bit.
  • V3 Way too much Spirulina, now reduced by 50%, want to keep it in, but may take separately.
  • V4.2 Trying this today 25/10, will make up 1 days worth, and see. Going to go down to 1400Cal, and have to reduce thickener.

  • V5.0 Big change: 50% nicer taste (for me anyway) Removed rice protein, maltodextrin, corn masa, and most of the olive oil. Increased the oats, coconut oil, and added some sucralose I had, (will update that to a proper sweetener when I sorce one.) Spirulina is just there so I can use it up, makes it green, can be removed with no problems.

  • V6


Sweetener,

Flavour

  • Vanilla see below, will use for now as and when needed @ £15.87 for a full litre it won't affect the price significantly to merit adding to ingredient list just yet....
  • Chocolate, will try some caco on a small mix and see how much is needed to change flavour.

Vanilla Essence: (Actual)

  • 1ltr of Vodka £10.47
  • 50 Vanilla pods, (ebay) £5.40 Split, scrape, and put everything in bottle. Mature for 3months with shaking when remembered. Decant your awesomeness, and top up with fresh Vodka as needed.

TODO

  • Salts - need the exact info for the two salts, if they have any other micronutrients..
  • Why does Multivit have so much Pantothenic Acid?
  • Some Links seem to be broken, will redo
  • Magnesium - is a little low on my "nutrient list", may increase (more oats) but not sure yet.
  • Storage, 1 days worth (shaker*three) seems to fit ideally in 1 small springclip jars, £1each, Best if spring removed and lid upside down with seal placed in lid groove. Storage for 5kilo amounts need to be sourced - plastic buckets seem a good idea
  • Add other weird and interesting foods I found.
  • Reduce Cost
  • Special Meal once a month for sake of sanity and to look forward to see Gnote images
  • Try pea protein or some other just to see, if its better than rice for flavour
  • Include some Probiotics (gut flora health)
    1. Yoghurt - DIY from live cultures
    2. Kombutcha
    3. Kvass
  • Split into a savoury and sweet version?

Savoury Cyberboost (half a days worth)

  • Garlic
  • Fenugreek
  • Turmeric
  • Dill
  • Fennel
  • Basil
  • MSG?
  • All the salt, no sweetener
  • Grow herbs in garden

Sweet Cyberboost, as now. (half a days worth)

  • None of the salt
  • Sugar or sweetener
  • Vanilla or chocolate, or fruit blended....(what can I grow?)

Weigh Notes, may be easier more precise to use scoops than my scales...

  • Choline Bitartrate 1 x level MP Plastic Scoop (mini) weighs 0.4g (*3p/day=1.2g)
  • Spirulina Powder 1 x level MP Plastic Scoop (small) weighs 3g (*3p/day=9.0g) Need measures for salt (my scales only 1gram accuracy)

Lab Reports I'll be looking into false claims made by the labels of products such as the well used Kirkland multi vit https://labdoor.com/report/kirkland-signature-daily-multi

Also things like Bulk Powders calcium citrate claim that their capsule provides (125% RDA of Calcium) http://www.bulkpowders.co.uk/calcium-vitamin-d3-vitamin-k1-capsules-1000mg.html Unless your a 6month old baby needing 200mg then this is just marketing lies, Actual amount due to the amount of Calcium in calcium citrate means you are getting 200mg. Less than 25% of the RDA of 1000-1300mg.

I imaging there will be a lot of other discrepancies too, best to be aware of them so you can make allowances.


Fat:

  • Coconut Oil Cold Pressed, Virgin, Well thought of, and possibly other benefits
  • Olive Oil - Supermarket finishing off what I had left over from muggle food - will replace with a better researched make later
  • MegaOmega, for the Omega's

Melting coconut oil, mixing it with other two, and after a blend, it was still mixed in after 8hours in fridge, so no worries about coconut solidifying, so a full days can be made at once. (I use 3 containers for that and drink as needed.)


Carbohydrates:

  • Oats - Check micro's only fat fibre protein is confirmed

  • Maltodextrin - Not sure about this, just using it as a Carb filler and to diversify the sources

  • Corn Masa - Again only reason is my preference for diversification,
    single food source is asking for trouble.


Protein :

  • Whey Powder, Has a lot of nutrients, there are so many makes that I just picked a random one for now.

  • Spirulina Powder, Interesting, but expensive, will see how this pans out. (don't start off with 20g like I did, its an acquired taste.... lol, and very green)

  • Rice Powder, Seems to me that this would be less processed than Whey, so may be preferable, more research needed.


Taste - Texture - Other:

  • Vanilla, for taste, I like it.
  • Raw Honey, its Antibacterial and a Demulcent.
  • Xanthan gum -Suspension of particulates, thickness adjustments. (may not be necessary, but have some so will use it till its gone.)

Recipe Notes:

  • My preference is for multi ingredients, despite the higher initial cost and the longer prep time. Sever different sources leaves a lot of resilience in the recipe not only from a cost/resource standpoint but also from a safety (food scare contamination, overdose) and Nutrient (different product variety ) aspect

  • Need to change the Nutrients list to include info gained from different countries, take the best from several and research why the values are different, then use logical reasoning to determine which one is best suited. See Sweden and other Nordic Countries.

  • Be aware that some nutrient lists or recommended RDA would have political and/or monetary roots. Look up the latest average life expectancy per populace and take there diet's into consideration.

  • These are the things I took note of while making my own Nutrient list for this recipe - anything over would be due to specific personal requirements or because of the absorption rates of different chemicals in concert with each other. Or because that's just more convenient due to price, but would not go over any hard limits that I found.

  • This is only a limited list of nutrients, there are thousands of them, and a lot of the foods here depend on several different sites for their complete listings of nutritional data as its' not listed on the packets or available from the manufactures of the products, so don't worry too much about the numbers being exact, take it with a pinch of salt, that's 0.485IU of sodium.... =p

.----------

Fibre: Historically 100g per day was not excessive, due to our ancestral diet, so may need to increase fibre more than I have. Will check stools and see, unless you want to check them?


General FAT research Notes

Omega 3

  • alpha-linolenic acid (ALA)
  • eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)
  • docosahexaenoic acid DHA

Omega 6

  • linolenic acid (LA)
  • gamma-linolenic acid (GLA)
  • dihomogamma linolenic acid (DLA)
  • arachidonic acid (AA)

Omega 9

  • oleic acid (OA)

Ratio of Omega 3 : Omega 6, should it be changed to better reflect popular opinion that Omega 6 is inflammatory and also takes away from the body's processing of Omega 3

Some say 1:1 is best Others that a 4:1 is historically better and presently what is found in animals (but other due to the evolution of different diets ie omnivore for humans, that we get don't need more than we get from the animals we eat) How much ALA / DHA do we need, and what's the best source?

"Plant-based omega-3 oils are not acceptable substitutes for EPA & DHA in seafood.
Less than 0.5% of the omega-3 oils in those supplements will be converted into EPA & DHA."

But is EPA & DHA converted on a "need only" basis by the body. (which has all the ALA it need in early childhood) conversion of ALA to DHA depends on zinc, iron and pyridoxine

http://lipidlibrary.aocs.org/processing/marine/index.htm

Fish Oil Extensively processed from waste fish (heads and scrap even non-fish sealife) High possibility of rancidity in the oil, esp in capsules where it is masked.

Polyunsaturated fat is highly susceptible to oxidative damage

Sources Many months reading, from research papers to general online research, inc google alerts for any new info on the nutrients. Even when you look at studies done, by say a MIT Scientist specifically on Fat's and their implication in the diet, you can be lied to and misled by them.


Notes removed due to length

  • General Carbohydrate research Notes
  • General Protein research Notes
  • General Vitamin research Notes
  • General Sweetener research Notes
  • General Mineral research Notes
  • General Psychology of liquid food research Notes

Due to the society we have built ourselves everyone has a vested interest in increasing their wealth, so opinions, research funding, even political leanings of the university that did the study you're reading that was lobbied by a food industry giant, are suspect and full of contradicting information.

And even when you find something that the majority of the respected scientists agree on, this truth, is only temporal. Just time based and in a few months or years it will be found in error and even dangerous.

So... well there is no truth, only opinion, which is one of the reasons for the diversity in this recipe, you can only trust the results of experimentation you do yourself, so I guess your the study group and the scientist, but at least your goals are honest, good health.
