The Olympian is a newspaper in Olympia, Washington.

My gosh, Seth, are you really 52?  I never would have guessed it.  You look maybe 35, tops.

Oh, um, the article.  Yeah, I'm not surprised.  Professional dieticians seem to be particularly threatened by your ideas.   And too many people seem to need the advice of so-called "experts" before they can make up their own minds about what works and what doesn't work on their own bodies. 

Heh heh.  You Berkeley radical, you.

How interesting that the woman from Enzymes, Inc. thinks that enzymes, instead of SLD, are the answer.

A mere coincidence, no doubt.

From the article:

Weamer and Schaetzel-Hill are skeptical of the psychology and highly suspect about the use of fructose and olive oil.

"There's no magic in taking olive oil and sugar water, other than the olive oil is a fat so it gives you a sense of satiety," Schaetzel-Hill said. "The oil takes longer to leave your stomach, but there's no magic in it."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

Hmmmmm!

 Seth,

Did you promise "magic"?  If so I missed it.

Oh, so eating fat (french fries, hamburgers, cream) will give us all satiety, and so cause us all to lose weight. Yes, I can see how well it has worked here in the US! Maybe the magic is that it somehow does not work except in the case of SLD. That is, she meant there is no magic in SLD, but there is magic in the normal Western diet that is causing so much obesity ;-)

I did write her, and she is using the SLD.  Should be interesting.

I wrote the article's author, not the quoted person.

I'm curious if she is able to make the diet work.

This is actually a fairly positive article. The reporter felt the need to get quotes from other experts for "balance" but gave Seth the last word, and semi-refuted the nutritionist's line about "eating for the long run" by pointing out that Seth has been doing it for five years.

I'm at a loss to understand why people think you can't keep doing SLD for the rest of your life, anyway. I mean, if you're doing Atkins, you're gonna eventually want a frickin' bagel or, God forbid, dessert, and that can pose a real risk to your weight loss. But it's not an issue with SLD. And it's not as though a little oil or sugar water poses any kind of real long-term health risk.

People are hit over and over again with the message that fat and sugar are bad.  The diet uses them in blatent and obvious form.  Forget that what you are really doing is having the equivalent of a candy bar once a day, that just happens to cause you to lose weight instead of gain it.

And, people who diet are conditioned to think of diets as temporary, which distorts the way they think about SLD/SLIM.  A diet is something  you do to hit your ideal weight, then you go back to normal ... except you don't.  Which we all know.

But they just don't understand, and won't until they try SLD/SLIM and their minds slide into alignment and out of the insanity that is fighting your set point.

I notice that some of the "experts" in the establishment are starting to talk about Lifestyle Changes that are necessary to lose weight and keep it off.

To me SLD is a Lifestyle Change. So why do all these "so-called experts" have such a problem with something that actually delivers what they are advocating?

Seth , I read about this program , don't want to use the word diet. I was on a low carb and lost 50lbs. I started to eat a few carbs again and have put 10lbs back on, can I mix the two teaspoons of olive oil with OJ or non sweetened green tea thank you  :lol:
