One way to do the Shangri-la Diet is to drink sugar water. This can cause your blood sugar to go too high if you don’t drink it slowly. Dr. Edward Pooley, a UK doctor, has noted that in the UK you can buy FibreSure, which is powdered inulin, a flavorless soluble fiber. Adding it to the sugar drink should slow digestion of the sugar. It is also sold in the United States.
FYI, in the US it’s called Fibersure. Thanks for the tip–I’ll be trying this as soon as I can get my hands on it. Never could tolerate the oil.
