Haven't heard anyone talk about the Shangri-La diet in ages. I did a slight variation of this for awhile way back in my 30s at it worked great. Recently testing this out with OMAD but haven't been doing it long enough to see if it is workable. I'm in my 50s now and a lot of things that worked wonders in my 30s do not work as well as they once did.

I'm going to try this because I recently fell off the OMAD wagon, and it usually takes me 3 solid days of white-knuckling it to get back to it feeling natural without wanting to eat during the day. Wondering if some plain celery or olive oil can ease the transition.
I'm going to try it with my omad diet because I only remember to take my supplements if I do it in the morning, but some are fat soluble, and the zinc can cause nausea on occasion, but if I get any carbs in the morning I get hungry. Some mct oil or light olive oil seems perfect. The toothpaste thing seems problematic. There are some bland ones, maybe I'll switch.
I don't think toothpaste is a problem for me, maybe because I associate anything minty with medicine instead of food.
Since plain celery has very few calories, I doubt it would help much. It seems to me that you're really fooling your body somehow when you're feeding it calories with no flavor.
