And I am still going strong.
I'm about to contact Soylent.me to cancel my subscription for their product (which is not estimated to arrive until the end of the year -- if I'm lucky). This decision was difficult for me because it means that I will need to continue purchasing and tracking my ingredients and then monitoring my consumption and bodily effects.
Reasons are twofold:
-Shipping for Soylent 1.0 is iffy thus far and many subscribers and Kickstarter backers have been waiting for over a year for it. I splurged on the monthly subscription (~$350) on July 21st and, shortly after that, the estimated shipping time on the website went from 10-12 weeks to 4-5 months. Stoppages in production have happened already and I, personally, find that instability to be very vexing.
-Soylent 1.0 is built around a 2000 calorie diet and is not intended for weight loss purposes as it has not been testing for that. As I am utilizing the adaptability of the Soylent medium to produce a low calorie and ketogenic food substitute, switching to a higher calorie blend would likely make me very unhappy. I'm thoroughly enjoying the changes in my body and I am not ready to switch back to a "normal" calorie lifestyle.
Since I've put so much work into making a blend that not only works for me body but also tastes good to me, I will be continuing my DIYS mix. It's consistent and I control it completely.
I'll likely put in an order for a few bags of Soylent 1.0 after I cancel my monthly subscription just so I can taste the differences.
