This edition's pretty new; 2015. Had been poking around Keel's author page at Amazon, and went ahead and got both this and The Book of Mothman, both Colvin-edited, as they weren't yet available in Kindle format.
Opened Invisible Diet this morning. Now, it intimates that it will involve subconscious re-programming....and after reading the "Warning from the author and everyone else" that is right before the first chapter, I did indeed stop at the end of the 2nd chapter - for the moment. Tongue-in-cheek though it reads, I'm wondering if the 'warning' is an actual part of the book's process - in that it's a notice to the reader that one will need to be patient and follow the steps in order, instead of charging arrogantly ahead, demanding instant gratification. (IE, that if you do roll your eyes and go ahead and binge-read the book, you're not really that interested in learning about the recommendations.) And/or the author had decided that the integration of the knowledge that he compiled needed an appropriate processing time, hence his injunction to space out the reading of the chapters. Which would make that warning some sort of test of the reader's natural level of counterwill...
Or perhaps I'm reading too much into this and the 'warning' is just another example of that typical Keelian humor?
