I had lost my focus for a couple of years. I was so sick and tired of having to watch everything. I ended up gaining a lot of weight back.
I recently started the Shangri-La Diet. I have lost over 5 pounds. More important, I have focus again.
I take 1T of ELOO in the morning before leaving the house. I swim. I have something, usually a small, homemade smoothie for B-fast. I take another T of ELOO at 11am. Just after 12, I have lunch. Recently, it's been a can of soup or a salad or something. Before, it would have been 2 hot dogs and fries, or soup and other stuff. When I get home, I have been havin 1T of refined walnut oil. Dinner portions are much smaller. Before bedtime, I try to take one more T of oil, avocado.
The thinking of the diet is to consume at least 2T of flavorless oil a day, up to two more T if you need to. I put the oil in a small container with some cold water and drink it down with an additional water chaser.
I eat less and crave less too. I consider this a godsend, as my orthopedic doctor really wanted me to have lap-band surgery to get control of my weight so I could get my knees replaced.
I'm glad it works. I don't really care why it works; it just does.
One day before SLD, I checked my B-fast & lunch calories and I was close to 2000 (that was w-out dinner). And, I thought I was really improving my eating that day. Now, I think I may get 300-500 calories for lunch and maybe 300 for B-fast (not including the calories from the oil) (120 per T)
