I lost about 20 lbs in 6 months doing it a few years ago. I did find that I had less inclination to snack or eat large meals. Then I increased cardio, stopped the diet (why? I don't recall), and proceeded to gain it back (while doing 3+ hours/week of cardio). I've tried various things with limited success and been meaning to try Shangri La again. Personal anecdote, post hoc ergo propter hoc, etc.
