Diet commercials.Diet pills.Diet books.For millions in the world, the search for the silver bullet to battle the bulge is a constant one.
Berkeley psychology professor Seth Roberts says he tried several diets for years but never found a lasting solution.
He said, " I drank a lot of water and lost weight, I ate less processed food and lost weight, I ate food with low glycemic index and lost weight and I ate sushi and lost weight."
Robert´s quest eventually led him to the Shangri La Diet - a diet that he has developed over 15 years of self-experimentation.
"I take one tablespoon a day of extra virgin olive oil. That´s for me for other people it could be different. An when I´m in cafe I have a cup of hot sugar water."
Thats right! A diet as simple as taking tablespoons of oil and drinking glasses of sugar water in between meals to quell the urge to continue to eat.
" When I discovered the effects of the sugar in the water I lost 35 pounds in
3 months."
Roberts who weighed 200 pounds eventually lost 40 punds. And his friend, Michael, lost 80 punds in 6 months
