Psychologist and professor Seth Roberts has spent years analyzing why most diets don't work. A maverick with a curious mind, and a yen for self-experimentation, he started by asking a simple question most experts haven't tackled: What makes us feel hungry in the first place?


After scouring the scientific literature and tirelessly testing various theories and practices, Roberts hit upon a simple, effective strategy for controlling the body's internal "set point"—that is, the thermostat that controls weight gain or loss. In lowering his set point, Roberts was able to lose thirty-five pounds in only three months, and he has kept it off for five years.


With the publication of this unique and groundbreaking book, Seth Roberts's program will be available to anyone who wants to lose weight-a little or a lot-and keep it off. The Shangri-La Diet includes specific instructions for tailoring the program for individual needs and goals, as well as expert tips, variations, success stories, and an illuminating explanation of how Roberts devised the diet and why it works so well.


A diet program simple enough for anyone to try, The Shangri-La Diet has the potential to radically change the way we think about weight loss—and deliver remarkably easy, sustainable results.

      Turning heads in the scientific community, a psychology Ph.D. who studies health and weight control discovered that spoonfuls of sugar or olive oil make people eat less because they feel more satiated. He says that lasting weight management requires a gradual adjustment of our internal "set point." Certain food flavors, especially processed foods, push up our "set points" (making us want to eat) while natural foods and calories with little or no flavor (such as fructose water) push them down. Alan Sklar is an expert at narrating self-help programs. Here he pushes his voice into a youthful range that sounds great as he presents the author's revolutionary ideas with understated dignity.
