Day 3 of Solyent Sammn

Well, I didn't manage to drink half of yesterday. I wasn't as thirsty, still carb hungry, tummy did some weird stuff... When I got to go, I got to GO! LOL

I'm gonna drink the remainder today, but there are alot of Chia seeds in there - DAMN. I hate them! No more or only ground. They do sell them pre-ground, I will go that way next time. Oh and the mix is supposed to be ok for 2 days (or a least the normal Solyent you can purchase is ok for 2 days).

I also think the near 1 gallon of fluid has been both helpful & a pain (in the bladder). Damn.... pee much? But yeah - made some blueberry roobus & yerba mate tea sweetened w/ whipped honey. Nice :)

For S & G, I got on the scale. I went to the doctor last Friday (plus weighed myself before I went to see how accurate my scale is - it's very close) I was at 261.7 lbs Friday. This morning, 257.1 lbs! OMGee..... I am not recording this yet, not until I see if this is real or what.

So the next mix will have no flour (gritty), no chia seeds (or rather 5g of ground) and 1 serving (34g) less of protein powder (maybe). I would add masa powder, but I have issues with corn (my stomach doesn't like it one damn bit), so if I end up striking the chia seeds, I may have to suffer through the gritty coconut flour.

Day 2 of Solyent Sammn

Ok, well I didn't finish the whole mess, got about 3/4'ers of it in during work. Had a nice dinner but was muchie (carb hungry) later & had some cake. And I found out it made me thirsty - i got in nearly 1.2 gallons of water in yesterday and was still thirsty when I went to bed.

This morning I realized I forgot to clean the large blender for the Ninja system, so I put everything in the Tayeka bottle w/ a Blender Ball. It mixed up well, but the seeds are more whole than yesterday's mix. I either need to grind them with my mortar & pedestal or leave them out. Yuck... 3 more days of them.

Also found out this stuff is crazy high in fiber - you poop ALOT. LOL ! And it's smelly, but I have a bottle of Poopourri that I snuck into work - :} it works.

Today with the whole seeds, it is a little harder to get down, but not bad. I just try to drink it as fast as I can before the glass gets warm. It HAS to be cold to tolerate.

I've been thinking, if I keep at this, I will be able to tweak the taste some - less cacao powder and different flavored protein powder. I think next time I will get ON's Banana Cream - that is a great flavor to start with, with some chocolate - YUM!

Sammn's Solyent day 1

Well,  this will be the official first day of my solyent 2/3rd. Still having troubles with the chia seeds & the coconut floor. I have already made the workweek days (stored in 1qt mason jars) otherwise I would tweak the mix again. But I will for next week... Less chia & no coconut flour,  plus made from back the protein powder some.

LOL - yes, you read that right. Solyent Sammn... and no it's not made from freshly ground Sammn's (there aren't that many of us out there). Rather it's my food replacement DIY mix based from the offical Soylent blend. And this is not a WHOLE day replacement, rather my breakfast & lunch for the work week. I don't think I can just drop real food 100% right now, especialy since Le Hubs will still want dinner.

Everything you need is ( here ) if you want to read up on it. The DIY forum is  here ].

The following values are for the "normal" version (not the values in red - that will be next version). 

Calories = 999, Servings = 2 (22% Carb, 35% Protein, 43% Fat{need to adjust this}
Total Carb = 62g, Dietary Fiber = 35g
Protein = 100g
Total Fat = 55g, Sat = 26g, Poly = 2g, Mono = 10g, Omega-3 = 4g, Omega-6 = 1g
Cholesterol = 108mg 

It's a chocolate cinnamon mix, not too strong, but thin & gritty. Plus, those chia seeds... OMG, I need to grind those into powder. Next time I buy powder, but for now I need to figure out how to grind them. I'm thinking coffee grinder. Plus, I need a better scale, I have a  "ONYX Digital Kitchen Scale" and it's not that great. This is the replacement they sent, because the first one failed 2 months after I got.

I use my Ninja blender to mix this up, I'm storing it in a VacuCraft contain (air-tight) until my Takeya bottles come in (2qt size).

When I tweak my mix, I'll repost the new version & report on how it tastes.
