The Diet to End All Diets
The Shangri-La Diet is now available to the world. It's like a diet pill in book form. No one need ever be fat again!
I know all about the Shangri-La Diet because last fall I found the book proposal. I tracked down the author, Seth Roberts, in an attempt to return it to its rightful owner. Turns out it was lost by his agent at Starbucks, where they were no doubt enjoying sugar dissolved in hot water instead of banana frappuccini or hot chocolates with whipped cream.
Of course, in the name of science and svelteness, I tried the diet. Yes, it's disgusting to ingest those Shangri foodstuffs, sugar water or flavorless oil, but it's less disgusting than lots of things, like, say, food poisoning. Shangri-sugar, I called it. Or Shangri-Lite oil.
Remarkably, the diet works. You swallow the stuff and you don't feel like eating. Actually, you actively feel like not eating. You forget to eat, just like Calista Flockhart. It's a kind of not hungry that you've never felt before.
I've been checking out the book's sales on amazon's list of top sellers. From 15,000-something, it soared to 5,000 something, and is now fluctuating around the 200 to 300 mark. I set the over/under on when it will hit #1 at Memorial Day.

That captures it. Just like I used to eat half a pizza and then look around for another box of pizza to eat, I now eat a slice and feel like avoiding the rest.
I have a Turkish diet site ..And if you let I will publish this in my site :)

I guess it's a "Different Strokes for DIfferent Folks" idea. Inherently, the idea doesn't sound unhealthy, but I wouldn't want to try it myself, you know?
I'll have to check it out later.

I worry about diets like that, because surely it's just not healthy to not eat? You have to eat.
The problem is not eating, the problem is the food we're eating. Eating two boxes of pizza is simply just not good for you. You should rather eat chicken at that rate. Once you start eating healthy food, you also find yourself eating less than before. That's because healthy food inspires healthy living.
Really. If you're going to take these sugar 'pills', it's probably best to do it like once a week or something, to help you concentrate on focusing on tasty health food instead.
You’re saying that all we need is swallow the stuff and then we won’t feel like eating again. I wonder how that stuff taste. I hope it’s not like eating dirt.
