    OMG This is possibly the worst diet I have seen. According to the website you have to starve yourself for 48 hours consuming only the "snake juice" which consists of
    Water
    Potassium chloride
    Sodium chloride
    Sodium Bicarbonate
    Magnesium Sulphate

    To keep your electrolytes up!!!!

    (I have not put in the amounts or some other info as not wanting to encourage anyone to try this recipe)

    Then you do what they call "tight" re-feeds then you repeat the fast for 72 hours. It is basically a starvation diet.

    Seriously OP this seems to me to be an awful and damaging thing to do to your body.

    PLEASE DON'T DO THIS.

    ETA This from the FAQ on the website

    Q Isn’t fasting the same as a calorie reduction diet?

    A "No. The Snake Diet focuses on the duration between feeds. The Snake Diet addresses the question about when you eat. Calorie reduction diets are food-focused diets that focus on what you are eating. These are two very different concepts and trigger different bodily reactions."

    WHAT? Seriously? This is complete bull crap. Of course it is a calorie reduction diet the people promoting this should be banned from advising people how to eat as this is just encouraging you to take longer and longer between eating, starving yourself and damaging your body.

    This sounds awful. What is wrong with 138 pounds??? I am at 158 and happy. Life is short. Be healthy and enjoy. Eat real food.

    I’d be more worried about the food then the fast.
