I like this set of posts about the Shangri-La Diet, especially this:
I had to borrow a black vest for the prom I worked last night. Twenty pounds ago, that vest would have NEVER fit this monkey.
I give credit to my kettleball, and the Shangri-La Diet. When I mentioned the vest situation to the crew during set-up the new guy chimed in, Oh yeah, I lost 40 pounds on Shangri-La. Got a few more to go. I don’t even bring it up to people any more. I’m tired of being told I’m crazy and that it sounds like it wouldn’t work.
Why do I laugh?
Seth, yours will be the last laugh.
I secretly laugh too when I see so many of the people who sneered at Shangri-La who are still overweight, still dieting, still hungry, while I have gone from 160 lbs. to 116 lbs. in one year and loved every minute of it.
“…after I read a NYT article on his research and findings. It just dang ol’ made sense…in a twisted way.”
“You add flavorless calories to your diet twice a day. Don’t have anything with flavor (not even brushing your teeth or chewing gum) for an hour on either side. And that’s it.”
“..Also, two words: shot glass.”
That’s exactly all I did, with some nose-clipping, and without trying to improve something that was already excellent. I also now have skinny pants.
Who wouldn’t laugh? It’s so simple, it’s hilarious.
Thanks, Darkhorse. That’s nice to hear. At a party today I learned that vaccination was once controversial. Which supports your point.
