Michael Blowhard has an especially vivid description of Life With SLD:
It took about a week for the appetite-suppression part of the Shangri-La experience to kick in. . . . It was a funny and bewildering moment when it did. I reached out for the usual additional forkful — and my hand stopped in midair. Nope, didn’t feel like it — and back my fork came, empty. My brain was thinking “What the hell?” but my body was saying “Had enough.” My instincts were speaking — only they were saying something different (”Enough”) than they usually do (”More! More!”).
