Inspired by a re-reading of this post by Kathy Sierra, I’ve decided to give the Shangri-La Diet a try. It may be total hocus-pocus, but I don’t really see a down side to giving it a try; taking a few tablespoons a day of extra-light olive oil or flaxseed oil isn’t going to hurt me (in fact, both offer health benefits), and the potential for positive improvements in my eating habits is pretty significant....
