> By "dietary regimens" are you talking about intermittent fasting? I find it hard to believe that "not eating for 16 hours a day" is "without any effort", or less effort than "not snacking" or "not eating smaller meals". As someone who used to weigh a lot more, I think you'd be surprised. The first couple days are a little rough, but after that you're just not very hungry during the day. In contrast, "eating smaller meals" fucking sucked. You're still hungry, you've already gone out of your way to obtain food, and now you have to stop and keep going on with your day. Remember that people don't get fat being used to eating appropriate size meals.
