She tried Shangri-La at my suggestion, and experienced the appetite suppression, but with no weight change. That seems even stranger for Roberts's theory than it just not working.

This is indeed peculiar. For how long did she attempt the diet, if I may ask?

Around two months. She is trying it out again, but this time in conjunction with another diet because even appetite suppression alone is helpful.
