snake diet = low calories diet = loose weight

So just lower your calories and you will loose weight

A lot of fat people aren't just fat. They're food addicted. Telling them to CICO is like telling a bunch of heroin addicts to just take less heroin and they won't die. Not to mention it's pretty hard to beat the caloric deficit of eating nothing.

Compliance is critical on any diet. If it's hard to voluntarily comply to something if the option and craving to cheat is there at all times. When fasting for longer periods of time the hunger hormones dissipate (this is known to anybody who has ever fasted).

With fat people who are addicted to food it's easier to get them to eat nothing and drink saltwater (look at all threads online, most are having a good time of it) than eat half cups of oatmeal and a fistful of broccoli every three hours.

Not only that but the snake diet gets results. A woman lost 200 pounds in a year on it. No exercise. 200 pounds. That's better results than the sorry fat bastards on The Biggest Loser except she's actually keeping the weight off and didn't require a 10k/month coach to slap her into doing 8 hours of cardio a day.

I think everyone is a food addict by nature , eating is a moment of pleasure .

Yes snake diet works , but also if you eat low calories meal every 3-4 hours can work too . Because with snake diet , sometimes when you fast for long time , you will eat a lot once its time to eat.

Fasting has more benefits then caloric restriction as far as I understand... But IDD you run the risk of gorging when you stop your fast, some discipline is necessary

I have done fasts in the past, drinking tap water and coffee, and they fucked me up pretty bad.

You really start to feel like shit in a hurry when you have no electrolytes in your system. Water fasts work, and you might look great, but you feel prepared to die. Good luck sleeping.

It sucks when you have to nix a method of easy weight loss and falsely attribute bad effects to fasting when the problems were something else entirely.

But drinking salt water makes the whole thing extremely easy. There is no urge to gorge when you break the fast. Try it yourself. I already lost eleven pounds scale weight since starting this shit a week ago.

I imagine you gorge when you're shredded or close to it but anybody who is lean and doing time restricted eating can get away with murder diet-wise.
