On Wednesday Stephen Marsh and I appeared on The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet to talk about the Shangri-La Diet. The clip, alas, is no longer available. There were two critics: a doctor and a dietician. A friend of mine was amused by the doctor’s belief that because someone from Berkeley had criticized the diet it couldn’t be any good. Discussion in the SLD forums. Before the segment, the producer said to me, “What happens determines the length. If it’s interesting, it will be longer. If it’s boring, it will be short. That’s just the reality.” It was really short. If she hadn’t told me that . . . I felt bad for a while but other people convinced me it was okay. I’m pleased by the publicity, of course. Overall, I like the show; I like its focus on everyday issues and problems.

Two other diets were covered in the previous segment : The Flat Tummy Diet and The Warrior Diet . The author of the latter wasn’t pleased .
