Editorial Review:
Psychologist and professor Seth Roberts has spent years analyzing why most diets don't work. A maverick with a curious mind, and a yen for self-experimentation, he started by asking a simple question most experts haven't tackled: What makes us feel hungry in the first place? After scouring the scientific literature and tirelessly testing various theories and practices, Roberts hit upon a simple, effective strategy for controlling the body's internal "set point"- that is, the thermostat that controls weight gain or loss. The solution was counterintuitive: By taking two daily servings of either extra-light olive oil or plain sugar water, he took control of his appetite, with astonishing results. Roberts lost thirty-five pounds in only three months, and he has kept it off for five years. Since then, others have replicated these results, and formal clinical trials will soon be under way. With the publication of this unique and groundbreaking book, Seth Roberts's program will be available to anyone who wants to lose weight-a little or a lot-and keep it off. The Shangri-La Diet includes specific instructions for tailoring the program for individual needs and goals, as well as expert tips, variations, success stories, and an illuminating explanation of how Roberts devised the diet and why it works so well. A diet program simple enough for anyone to try, The Shangri-La Diet has the potential to radically change the way we think about weight loss-and deliver remarkably easy, sustainable results.

Average Rating: 
Rating: - Fun read for a scientist
The diet works for me-- 20 pounds in 10 weeks and holding steady nicely. Not sure how much is a direct effect of the oil, how much is reduction in snacking due to constraints on taking the oil, and how much is behavioral awareness due to dieting.
I also enjoyed the descriptions and discussion of formal research results a great deal, perhaps because I am a quantitative psychologist.
Rating:  - Just another failed diet idea
Is it possible that there's secret diet where people are losing tons of weight and it's not the news of the decade if not century?? Um. No. Because this diet isn't a diet. It's another scam. Drink sugar water, lose weight. Drink oil and lose weight. Please. Don't buy into this crap. Eat an appropriate amount of calories for your size and activity level and stop putting money into this scam author's pockets. If this worked, the stories on every news channel would be non stop. You don't hear much about ... Read More
Rating:  - Really works
I started the Shangri-La diet three weeks ago and I'm already down to 225 from 245. I'm never hungry after small meals and I haven't felt this good in years. As an added benefit, this is the only "diet" out there that will save you money. The same dinners I used to eat in one sitting now last me two or three meals and I always have a doggy bag full of leftovers when I go out to eat.
The SLD regimen sounds strange at first but this book explained it well enough for me to try.
Rating: - It works. Really.
I've been using the oil for about three weeks and it seems to be working. I eat anything I want but I get full or even feel stuffed on less food. I've lost about 8 pounds with no deprivation which is good because I don't do deprivation.
If you try it, don't tell anyone because they will think you are crazy. Wait until they ask what you are doing to lose weight. Until they see the results, they won't believe it. Good luck.
Rating: - It's a revolution. Period!
This "diet" instantaneously started to work and continues to do so. It is simple, cheap and very efficient. See for yourself. Start today.
