The Snake Diet is an extreme intermittent fasting diet founded by self-described fasting coach Cole Robinson. It promotes fasting and then eating in a brief one- to two-hour window. While the Snake Diet website makes numerous claims, including tighter, clearer skin, a revved-up metabolism, and reversal of type 2 diabetes, the diet’s founder is not a qualified healthcare professional , and these claims aren’t based in scientific evidence.
Can the Snake Diet help you lose weight? If you were used to eating multiple meals a day and switched to the Snake Diet, you’d likely lose weight. But don’t take that to mean that it’s a good idea. As a registered dietitian, I’d recommend avoiding the Snake Diet. While other forms of intermittent fasting have been well-studied, you can’t apply the findings to the more restrictive Snake Diet.
