In other Soylent news, the powdered foodstuff has a new "version release":
Soylent founder Rob Rhinehart has continued to update Soylent's formula, tweaking the contents and altering the micro- and macronutrient blend in response to user feedback and also actual science and lab-work. The latest change, to "version 1.4," is the most significant since the product's launch: in addition to ditching the often leaky bottles of oil, the amount of soluble fiber has been greatly reduced, from 10g per pouch to 3.9g; the total amount of fiber has been reduced from 30g to 16g per pouch.
Other changes include reduced portion size (the pouches indicate 4 rather than 3 servings), a smoother texture, a more neutral and less dough-like flavor, and less "butt stuff." Why? "Some people's gut bacteria are not accustomed to the soluble fiber."

Why? According to the article about ketogenic diet (and according to my own experience for some month), I don't. I get some because they are nearly unavoidable in order to get minerals and vitamins (even green vegetables like spinach and broccoli have some, and milk/cheese is also not free of them), but other than that the idea is to let the liver create ketone bodies [wikipedia.org] from fat. These can be used by the body similar to carbohydrate.

I guess you're right. Their website is still broken but I see a lot of ketogenic soylent recipes here:

Somehow I seem to miss a point there. Following the link quidnycs-ketofood-for-induction-phase-ketosis [archive.org] shows me the nutrition of the recipe, but not the ingredients. Nor did i find the ingredients anywhere else yet.

I noticed that on that same recipe. Some of them have traditional ingredients listed on the "Notes" tab, like this one:

Unfortunately, apparently none of the keto-recipes has a list of actual ingredients. Maybe I can publish my own set and get some feedback there if they fix this page.

The archive is months old, so if the site begins working again there should be more content.
