An interesting idea, but I don't know why it should work.

These associations, Roberts believes, lead the body to raise its weight <A title="Set point (medicine)" class="new" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Set_point_%28medicine%29&action=edit">set point</A>, like a thermostat, triggering hunger and storing the excess calories as fat against future scarcity.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Shangri-La_Diet&oldid=113954522">To bring weight under control, Roberts advocates consuming small amounts of very bland but calorie-dense foods, such as extra-light <A title="Olive oil" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olive_oil">olive oil</A> (not to be confused with <I>extra-virgin olive oil</I>) or sugar water.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Shangri-La_Diet&oldid=113954522">According to Roberts, this practice dissassociates flavor from <A title="Calories" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calories" set="yes">calories</A>, convincing the body to lower the set point, suppressing appetite, and thereby inducing weight loss without hunger.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Shangri-La_Diet&oldid=113954522">According to Roberts and other practitioners of his plan, the diet's appetite-reducing properties are dramatic, often nearly immediate, and sustainable. </blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/95FF0E20-2956-4521-81DB-C65777657B88/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
