A few years ago, I ran across a 'revolutionary diet' called the "Shangri-la Diet", and decided to try it - with absolutely no effort beyond *swallowing 2 tablespoons of coconut oil early each morning*, I lost 27 lbs in three months. The weight did not come back. I lost all food cravings, and could easily just stop eating the minute I was full. I didn't exercise.

Wow.
I just did a cursory check of the PubMed database and there's virtually nothing on the biological effects of abstinence. In other words, I couldn't find an experiment where even basic biological measures were taken on a group of people before and after a period of abstinence. This seems like obvious science, especially since, in America, many family planning groups (usually with a religious association) advocate abstinence.
One would think that perhaps even the Catholic Church might have commissioned such a study.
