Well, goat chili contains beans I think? Beans are a great appetite stopper also: slow-digesting fiber. The protein in the goat too. Protein is known as an appetite-stopper (although like I said, eggs and fish seem to be the most efficient: I don't know about goat, I haven't had it but once). Seems like you keep picking really healthy appetite stoppers!
I don't know much about the diet, but if it's about *taste*, how about eating something bland that is NOT an appetite stopper? Maybe the ultimate test would be a plain cracker or simple bread, with no salt. (according to the writup, the Shangri-la diet includes ANY foods?).
And on the other side, make something fish and/or eggs, but lots of good tastes. (Thai food!).
The goat vs. fish experiment will be interesting though. One of my theories is that mammal meat has either neu5gc or something different about how heme iron is absorbed, which mess with the metabolism. Iron is known to mess with insulin resistance, and it is over-absorbed in some foods apparently. This could be because of mammal meat (eating "red meat" is associated with high iron levels: fish is not) or because of iron-added foods (most starches in the US). Chili powder though, interferes with iron absorption, so that might make the goat meat NOT an appetite inducer in terms of iron absorption.
BTW, my own theories on why Fast-5 works is that I think it changes your gut health. Having a nice period with no food, the gut can do "house cleaning" and change the bacterial mix, which also affects iron absorption The cells get loaded with iron and they slough off during house-cleaning maybe? And the new cells can then work better, preventing overload in the next meal.

Last night, an hour after I downed the olive oil, I had 3 hard boiled eggs with a pat of butter on each one, a can of sardines in olive oil, and a sheet of nori. Not hungry at all for the rest of the night. Get this... not even a desire for beer or wine!! I'll try it again tonight but with a pound of goat chili to see if the eggs and fish may have had anything to do with it as Heather suggests... this is becoming interesting. :)

Tonight I'll have the oil and water, wait and hour, and then have the same meal as I had last night and see if I'm not hungry afterward. I'll report back tomorrow on how I feel. Wish me luck!
