I'm just going to put this here because I was rather annoyed, after the fact, not to have been warned*: Drinking oil straight (which I tried for the first time this morning) is disgusting. It made me want to puke, although fortunately this had worn off by the end of the one-hour window when I wanted to eat. (Also, then I had a perfectly typical lunch which I enjoyed a normal amount and did not feel less motivated to eat than usual.)
*My model of what things are and are not disgusting to eat straight predicted this, but my model of how people talk about diets predicted that if it was in fact that disgusting, it would be a listed drawback of the diet.
On a related note: Swallowing 15 rather large Omega three capsules doesn't make me want to puke at all. I use them for the macro-nutrient load at times even if I have never officially gone on the Shangri-La diet. Swallowing with water is easier but not required.
Yeah, I'd probably find swallowing even a large number of pills less unpleasant; does that (in theory) work just as well? Are they expensive?
In theory? Who knows? I'm sure Seth Roberts could speculate something on the spot more impressive than I can speculate. But from the reasoning I've heard they should be better.
I haven't noticed them being expensive. But I spend a bit on supplements in general. I consider it a hobby. Let's see... maybe 5c a capsule? Well worth it though. My brain loves me for it. (The first 1 per day anyway, the rest it looks at me and says WTF?)
