My dad has diabetes, and I casually got Amazon.com to send him the Shangri-La Diet book. I left him a message saying (still very casually) “I came across something that you might find interesting. The book is in the mail. Talk to you soon”.
A few weeks later he (casually) mentioned that he had started the oil, and was now physically incapable of overeating.
A few more weeks later, and he reports that he is unable to finish his breakfast in one sitting – he has to eat half, go work for a few hours, then finish his breakfast.
I’m elated.
My father has been compared to Homer Simpson. Both in the “get thrown out of Pizza Hut on all-you-can-eat night” and in the “awwww, my stomach hurts… I shouldn’t have eaten that packet of gravy that I found in the parking lot” departments.
From the SLD forums.
Great story, I’ll be sure to check out this diet plan. If it can work for Homer there’s hope for me yet! : )
