I googled ELOO and got nothing... I bought some Flax Seed Oil, - but it was bitter. I could take it down with no problem, but BITTER is a flavor isn't it ? I used some peanut oil,- it seemed to be pretty bland; so I reckon it is okay. Flax Seed Oil ? Thank You Mike What is ELOO? I googled ELOO and got nothing…

The way it works is, you wait one hour after a meal and have a tablespoon of (tasteless) oil or so. It's going to have the same weight loss effect of breaking up your large meals into a bunch of smaller ones, too. There's a quote that goes, "If you want to weigh less, you've got to eat more -- more often that is, not more food." In my estimation, that's part of what makes the Shangri-La Diet effective -- you are having small oil "snacks" throughout your day. Additionally, if the purpose is to train your body to dissociate taste from calories, you'll be much more effective at it if your body has multiple infusions of tasteless calories throughout the day than one before bedtime.

My first couple of months, while I lost twenty-five pounds, I would wake up at night with hunger pains, I just did not feel like eating either. I also found that if I drank water and waited, the desire to eat would often pass after that. I needed more fluid than I was getting. Wish you luck with the emotions. I found an oa.org group (not very typical I've discovered since) that really helped. I sure had a lot of emotional turmoil and ended up having to deal with it all without food to bury it. Was a rough seven or eight months. But I went from over 240 to under 170 in about ten months on the diet. Do wish you well.
