Here is a nice endorsement of the Shangri-La Diet by Ben Popken. A very interesting aspect of what he is doing is the use of photographs to fool himself — or not — that he is being watched.
The taking and uploading of photos helps keep me honest. I know that if I fall behind, I have to announce it. Not many people are watching it but just seeing a few views here and there helps reinforce the idea that I’m being monitored.
Photos of his weight, for example.
