Description
The hypothesis of this diet is that if you go longer than 3 hours without eating the body goes into starvation mode. On this diet, the dieter eats at very specific times (7 am Breakfast, 10 am Snack, 1 pm Lunch, 4 pm Snack, 7 pm Dinner and then a three hour break before going to bed 10:00 pm). You don’t need to give up your favorite foods. You also don’t need to exercise. The founder says that you will continue to loose weight as long as you stay on the diet.
