Joylent day 3

Hello /r/Soylent and others!

Yesterday I couldn't write the day 3 blog, because I was watching the game downtown (we lost at penalties from Argentina :'(  ). Here's day 3 on Joylent.

I want to start with the tip I got from /u/asympt, who gave me a tip to eliminate the gritty feel. He told me to store the pitcher in the fridge overnight. It did work, somewhat, but it's not entirely gone. Nonetheless a great tip!

Food flavoring

The food flavoring I ordered came in yesterday! It was a very tiny bottle (3.7ml / .125 fl oz) with highly concentrated melon flavor. I bought it online for 1.75€. I had to put in around 6-8 drops to really taste the melon over the Joylent (that's about a quarter bottle!). It did taste like melon, which was nice, but I'm not sure whether it is viable to keep doing this. It raises the cost of each meal by aprox. €0,40. I will experiment in the future with different tastes, though. I'm very curious to know how the coconut flavor works out.

After drinking it and how my body reacts to it

There hasn't been any change, really. I feel just fine, energy levels are normal. That might go up in the future, we'll see. I read online that people had a bit of a headache at the start of their diet, but that hasn't happened to me so far. I drink a lot of water next to the Joylent, so that could be it.

With the food flavoring it was a little it easier to get down, because it also tuned down the taste of the Joylent itself, which I experience as pleasant.

I also put the Joylent in Tupperware containers, because I don't think those zipper bags are that handy after all.

Phone call

Yesterday around 4 PM, I got a phone call from some mobile number. It was Joey van Koningsbruggen, the man himself! He told me he was asked for making an item for Nieuwsuur , a major news company in The Netherlands. He knew me and my roommate were following the Joylent diet so he asked me if him and I wanted to participate in an interview. Of course we wanted to! Quite excited about that as well.

That's it for yesterday. I think I'll leave gaps now, between the days, as I think there won't be as much change between every day from now on. As always; leave me any questions/feedback in the comments, either on reddit or down below.

Cheers!

Tom
