The Shangri-La Diet > General

Is it possible to do only the oils?

(1/1)

Mazzy_Star:
Is it possible to do SLD and reach goal using only ELOO (or other flavorless oil).. and NOT doing the other extra-credit methods such as nose-clipping, crazy-spicing, eating flavorless food, eating one food at a time, etc.?  Has anyone been successful using only the flavorless oil to reach their goal weight? (Or is it pretty much a "must" that you will need to incorporate the extra-credit methods?)

If you were successful using only the oil, how much weight did you lose to reach goal?  I have about 100 lbs to lose. 

I'm wondering if it's at all possible.  Thanks much!!!

Hi,

I noseclip my ELOO out of habit, partly because I had a noseclip when I started and partly because this routine allows me to try other oils when I want to.

The rest of the time I eat a calorie restricted diet, but not any of the other extra-credit methods you mention.

In the 17 months using the method I have lost about 70 pounds (so far).

Cheers

I roll old school (as the hip hop generation would say)

I've never used anything other than ELOO and never nose clipped. Well actually I tried canola oil and sugar water and found that ELOO seemed to work better for me for unknown reasons. Tried nose clipping. It caused a painful popping in my Eustachian tubes so I stopped that after 2 tries.

I lost slightly more than 70 pounds.

The nose-clipping, as I see it, it different from the rest of the things you mention.

IMHO, not smelling/tasting the oil is a sine qua non of the SLD. I don't hold my nose, but have learned to close off my nasal passages while imbibing, which prevents me from smelling the oil.

I do the oil and sugar water, and am presently losing about a 1.4 pounds a week (have lost 24 lbs over 4 mos. on the way to losing 50).
