Argue if you like, but I heard it on a podcast, so it must be true. Anyway, they have an interview with Seth Roberts, author of the Shangri-La Diet, which I never got around to reading last weekend -- and probably won't be perusing over my vacation next week.

All in all, very interesting stuff. Oilive oil and sugar water as the key to weight loss. Also, something about the flavor of food making you fat.

Wait, can I have possibly read that right?

He claims that he lost weight in Paris because the food tasted different. The author of this book might offer a different possible reason.
