Stephen Marsh on the Shangri-La Diet
For the paperback edition of The Shangri-La Diet, I made a graph of Stephen Marsh’s progress this morning. Here it is:
Stephen sent me a fax of pages from his notebook. It was thrilling to type the dates and weights into my computer. Here was someone slowly returning to health. Eventually the rest of the world would find out about it.
More about his progress.

I can only say it was a return to life, not just health.

It’s heartening to see such dramatic weight loss and return to life and health. It’s now 7 years and 42 days since I started actively applying Seth’s theory, and I can report that I’ve lost 30 pounds and kept it off for more than 6 years; 70 pounds for 2 years 8 months; and 90 pounds for a year and a half. I’m currently 95 pounds lighter than I was on November 1, 1999, goig from 280 to 185. I’ve gotten rid of high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and incipient diabetes. I sleep an hour and a half less each night, have a huge amount more energy and enjoy having a body a lot more than I once do. I also enjoy life more.
So I’m in debt to Seth’s ability to grasp some deep truths about biological and psychological reality, particularly about the relationship between taste and hunger, and his willingness to share what he learned. I hope and expect that within a few years, what he figured out will be widely recognized and applied…
Cheers,

BenekeMethod — now that this might get revived with the link I have to say that your story really inspired me and gave me hope. I’m currently around 180. I’d adjusted my weight up a little, but it has slipped down some. I’ve got a cushion I keep because I’ve known to many people who slipped in to anorexia and for other reasons, but I had the same feelings: I’ve gotten rid of high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and incipient diabetes. I sleep an hour and a half less each night, have a huge amount more energy and enjoy having a body a lot more than I once do. I also enjoy life more.

Thank you Tim, for having been there when I needed an example.
