On Saturday I tried my hand at baking soylent. I attempted 2 recipes: cookies and muffins. The cookies are rather bland, the muffins are better but way too much work. I might make the cookies again but with some baking powder as suggested in the comments. Here’s how they turned out: The cookies come off […]

So I’ve been on DIY “soylent” (People Chow 3.0.1) for 2 weeks now, let’s see how it’s going. Not bad. So this last weekend I went on an outing with my wife and had normal food for dinner and breakfast, then some more muggle food on Sunday. I was starting to miss the plain simplicity […]

So I wanted to do a video of mixing up a few days’ batches of soylent. Mostly I wanted to do this video because it’s the sort of thing that would have saved me a bunch of time and spilled powder when I was starting all this but also because I made the claim that […]

So I completed 1 week of drinking soylent all week. I did have some other food (a piece of pizza, a little soup, some biscuits and gravy) which combined are about 750 calories for the week. While not insubstantial, it was less than 5% of what I ate. I wanted to log my results so […]

Nothing much to note, and that’s a very good thing – I think. I ate a little bit of normal food yesterday, but for the most part am happily subsisting almost entirely on People Chow DIY soylent. OK, one thing to note is that yesterday and today I was sated enough drinking 1/4 of the […]

As I said in my earlier post: although Max says it tastes like tortillas, personally I think the new 3.0.1 formulation tastes like Tamales. I really like tamales (and tortilla chips). The texture of the corn flour as I drink it reminds me quite a lot of eating tamales too. Seriously: if you were to […]

So I finally finished off the last of my pre-mixed 2.3.0 and can now move on to the new formulation. As I said earlier, the big change in the new formulation was the removal of the almond meal; along with new corn flour and some tweaked amounts of the protein and other stuff. Allegedly the […]

Another update for soylent. So I did eventually get hungry. Right around 21:00 last night, my stomach felt empty and I wanted to eat. I thought that it might just be that I was thirsty since my mouth felt dry. So I drank a bunch and it (mostly) went away. The odd thing was when I […]

Well, I’m back to the original Almond meal and there’s not a noticeable difference, guess that was a wasted $12. Seriously this is so much better when I put in the right amount of water! Speaking of water, I’m apparently extremely dehydrated – that or something in the formulation is tinting my pee yellow, and […]

So my biggest problem so far has been the acid reflux/heartburn from the bits of almond sticking to the back of my throat. I thought it might be the brand of almond meal so I got the stuff that was officially recommended and tried that out. Somebody also noted that I was using WAY too […]

So on Monday I got all my ingredients (finally – I ordered it all on Jan 1st). I mixed up three batches Monday night and concluded that I need a better scale. The one I have has .1 g increments, I need one that has .01 increments. I didn’t see specific guidance for how much […]

I’m giving DIY “Soylent” a try. Mostly as a simple way to manage calories and eat better nutrients. I’ll assume you have no idea what “Soylent” is (hereafter I’m going to omit the quotes) so in a terribly brief summary: It’s all the essential Macro and Micro nutrients a human needs to be healthy, mixed […]

INTRODUCING Pina Colada Keto Chow That’s right, we’ve gone tropical! Our Pina Colada has: 0.77 net carbs. (The traditional drink has around 32, and a fraction of the nutrients.) No added sugars (compared to a whopping 30 grams in a traditional pina colada). The refreshing, sitting-on-the-beach-and-it-feels-like-heaven flavor without the accompanying hangover! This delightfully sweet flavor […]
