@Knittingbandmom - I cant find the Low-fat acidophilus milk....soooo black it will be :sad: But actually I am fine with that. It's is just a mental thing right. From day 18 I will drink skim milk.
Try Kefir...it's delicious and thick and available at the health food store.You can have up to 2 cups I believe. I haven't had any yet since I LOVE eating the yogurt!! it works!0 -

Thank you so much ladies for letting me join you even though I have already started Just wanted to share my good news so far and it's been pretty easy. I am doing a lot with cut up chicken in water plus seasonings and tons of veggies that I found in the refrig, turning it into chicken, super thick, mega soup and it's all free food!! Helps me when I feel hungry and the yogurt is such a treat!! I feel good and so far so good.

Okay, so now for my first day report...
First thing this morning: The hot lemon water made me so nauseous (spelling..), I don't know about you guys????? I said tomorrow I will try it again and if it is still like that, then I will drink it in cold water. Hope that will help me.
I was so stuffed with lunch. I had a HUGE chicken salad and yup I could not eat it all...... I had my apple at 2:30....I hope that will be okay too
So tonight it is veggies and again chicken.
I could not find any turkey. Here in South Africa it is not so easily available. I also could not find the kefir you all talk about, so it is black coffee for me.
Green tea; I bought a pack of Lipton Green tea with mint. I also drink green tea capsules. So I think I am good on the green tea deal hehehe.
I took my before pictures too. And measured.
Weight today: 129.1 kg / 284.02 lbs
I think I pretty much am sailing through day 1. Please let me know how the rest of you are doing?
Also, do you think we should start a new thread or a group?
Cherio! :drinker:0 -

Kefir is like a yogurt and often times found in the yogurt section. It's thicker than milk but very tasty. There are ways to also make Kefir homemade but it's not nearly as tasty as the real stuff. Perhaps you can order it online but then shipping to Africa can be expensive I am sure. It's at most major health food stores...but again, I don't know the source availability for you. Plain yogurt though is delicious too!! Way to go on your first day. I also had a fruit a little past 2 and I don't think that is a big deal. I know one gal who had it at night with her yogurt and continue to lose....good luck on the first week!0 -

Sometimes I prefer not to weigh in everyday....it just works better for me.
Happy day everyone!0 -
so far so good !
Weighing in next Sunday. Can't wait to see how much I lost.
What is everyone doing for their 17 min exercise? I am thinking a 20 min zumba session !0 -
Just got up, took my measurements and weighed, ready to go! I went shopping yesterday for everything I need....this really does seem doable. I've been doing some reading online and have found many good reviews on this program, some indicating that this is more than a diet but more the way we should be eating anyway. As for exercise, it's really hot here so I think I'll start with swimming but will probably move more towards walking or biking. Probably mix it up a bit.
Well, off to start my day with hot water and lemon, I'll let you know how that goes Slim! And yes, I think it would be helpful to start a group for this since it can go a while.
Good luck everyone!

walking works for me. I'm back in a flash so no thinking much into it.
What are you eating today?
I'm going to bake a whole chicken .....can't beat the price either. .89 at the grocery store a pound!!
So delicious taken off the bone into a bed of mix salad and veggies with yummy FF dressing!! Load it up!!0 -
I am not following it to a T so modifying it a bit.
Today's menu:
Coffee with creamer. I know bad but I am not giving it up.
Breaksfast: 2 eggs with 2oz ham, spinach and swiss cheese
Lunch: Protein shake with fat free milk
Snack: strawberries and grapes
Dinner: 6 oz chicken with homemade minestrone soup (carrots, zucchuni, green beans, tomatoes, white beans)
Snack: fat free blueberry yogurt
Weigh in this morning: 142 lbs. I woke up with my monthly visitor so I am up this morning as to yesterdays 140 lbs. So I am thinking its water weight.0 -
Oh and for my exercise I am doing T25, so 25 min of exercise instead of 17.0
-
Okay day 1 didn't go too bad.. i forgot the lemon and hot water and i was starving around 3pm so I have to remember to bring in a little more to work to eat so it doesn't happen again...ohh I done more than 17 mins exercise as I walk to work and back so looking at around 1 hour...bring on day 2 that's all I can say 0
-
I didn't seem to be very organised I must say. Missed the water and lemon this morning, but did have a green tea and some fruit this morning.
For lunch had tinned salmon and lots of veg.
For dinner had Cajun chicken breast and lots of veg, and had basmati rice by accident. Only had about 25g.
Had 10 glasses of water.
Had fat free bio yoghurt and sugar/ fat free blackcurrant jelly (yummy)!
I've been shopping, so have the lemons ready for the hot water first thing in the morning.
I thought that I would find it really difficult not having a snack or two today, but I wasn't tempted.
Exercise was an hour of Bokwa this evening, which really burns calories, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I have faith that I can keep this up for another 16 days, YIKES! The tester will be at the weekend when I'm not so active, and tend to get bored, so I will have to remain active and busy to divert my attention from alcohol and sweets and chocolates.
Anyway I've got my camomile tea here that I'm sipping before going to bed. I'm glad it's the end of day 1.
See you all tomorrow. zzzzz :-)0 -
Forgot to say, my weight was 210 pounds today, starting weight! Got to get down 2 dress sizes by my nieces wedding in 5 weeks!
Thanks for all the food tips and advice, that was really helpful!0 -
Are you getting to 1200 calories? I still have 166 more to go and can't think of anything to eat.... ugh. I ate a ton today too !0
-

I was just thinking the same thing! I'm not hungry at all and am sitting at about 1000 calories. I don't think I'm going to worry about it for a while and see how it works out.
By the way for exercise I've been jazzercising 2-3 times a week which is an hour each but on the off days I'm going to try and ride my stationary bike in the house. I'm in Dallas and it's 105 degrees here today - for real. Ugh.
@Slimbettie - I think a 17 day group would be fantastic. I'm in and again, I'm so glad you started this up. Your timing was perfect.
***********
For my update - I went shopping on Saturday and my son didn't want to wait to start so we actually started yesterday. This morning I had lost a pound and he had lost 4! He has had a weight issue since 2nd grade. He's 19, 5'7, and weighed in at 340 pounds. He was thrilled and motivated by the 4 pounds let me tell you. We both gagged on our lemon water yesterday too but this morning it was better.
Here is what we ate yesterday and today:
Sunday:
Breakfast - 2 scrambled eggs with 1/2 grapefruit
Snack - Chobani Greek Yogurt - coconut flavor
Lunch - chicken breasts marinated in fat free italian dressing and baked with parmesean cheese sprinkled on top.
Snack - apple
Dinner - Chicken Chili made by cooking 1 lb chicken breasts and shredding, and adding 1/2 cup diced red onion, 1 can rotel tomatoes, 1 can diced tomatoes, 2 chicken bouillon cubes, 1 cup water, 1 tsp cumin, 1 tbsp. chili powder, and a little salt & pepper. I found this on the internet and she had added 1 packet knor veggie soup mix. Since I had a packet and the carbs were not too bad I threw that in too and it was fabulous. We topped it with some fat free cheddar.
Snack: Chobani vanilla fat free yogurt with 1 tbsp cocoa powder (the non sweetened baking kind) and 1 packet of Truvia. This was a pretty nice little chocolate fix.
Monday:
Breakfast: 1/2 grapefruit w/truvia sprinkled on top
Lunch: 2 cups mixed salad greens with tomato topped with a drained can of tuna in water and 2 tbsp. fat free ranch dressing.
Apple
Snack: Yoplait Greek Fat Free Peach yogurt
Dinner: Rotisserie Chicken from Kroger - about 4 oz, and a cup of green beans.
Snack: I had another vanilla yogurt mixed with the cocoa powder - I thought it was that good yes
Tuesday Plans:
Breakfast: 2 hard boiled eggs
Snack: strawberries or red grapes
Lunch: Probably a salad with left over rotisserie chicken and fat free italian dressing and a pineapple flavor yogurt.
Snack: Orange
Dinner: Cajun Catfish (a little olive oil with mixed seasonings rubbed on and baked) I found the recipe on The Doctor's site for 17 Day Diet. If you google 17 day diet the doctors recipes and select the result that pops up for C1 you will see it and a ton of other wonderful ideas there.
Snack: Probably a second yogurt. I'm out of the vanilla now so no more chocolate for a while
I weighed and took measurements but need one of my teenagers to slow down long enough to take a picture for me.
Weigh In:
C1D1 - 191.4
C1D2 - 190.20 -
Ok, first day is done. I was well below 1200 calories today. After lunch I felt so stuffed I just couldn't eat much more, had to force some chicken for dinner. I think it was an affect from the green tea. My last cup of tea this evening went down much better....I think I was steeping for too long. Did it quicker the last time and found it a much better taste and easier on the stomach. I'm feeling much better now. Made the chocolate yogurt desert tonight...yummy! I think tomorrow will go better.0

Helloooo all you beautiful ladies :flowerforyou:
I don't have much time for a long chat, but just wanted to say hello and wish you all a great day. I am on Day2 and it is EASY! I had the lemon juice water with cold water today. Went down a dream....hope it will have the same effect as the hot water, cause I just wasn't up for the yuk feeling I had yesterday morning.
I am feeling a burst of energy this morning. Thought I'd be a bit sluggish, but not.
I had a quick read through the conversation. My calorie intake is in fact 1300. My goal is 1400. So I am good on that. I would guess for you who don't reach 1200 at least, I would be worried that you body might go into starvation mode. So have some more proteins...I know it's difficult if you are so stuffed. Ask me, I was so full at lunch yesterday.
Anyone who wants to take charge and create a group for us please feel free.
Great day to all of you.
Cheers xx0 -
I had 1230ish calories yesterday but I was not hungry with all those veggies and stuff. Its hard to eat more when veggies barely have calories, lmao. I tried byt eating more protein. 0

I will try to get a group set up on my break.0

Yea...bring food to work is good..
If you can avoid being starving I think it helps stick to the plan even better too.0 -

Wow, already 7 days are gone by. It went fast and I like that I can eat on this diet too. But I do feel it's key to eat as often as I can when I can and not to get to hungry so I feel good.0 -
Hi everybody, I am beginning 17 DD tommorow and am so happy to find some others that are doing it! I am pretty excited I think it looks like a very healthy plan. Was wondering if anyone knew if Avocado was allowed in cycle 1? I don't see any mention of it being allowed or not allowed.
So for tommorow what I have planned is:
Breakfast: Smoothie using kefir, greek yogurt, strawberry, peach, spinach. I will try it first and if it needs some more sweet will add a packet of truvia.
Lunch: Chicken salad (made with tzatziki, onion, celery, red pepper) wrapped in lettuce, an orange, carrots and ranch dip made with greek yogurt and some ranch dressing seasoning
Dinner: Balsamic marinated chicken breast, bruschetta tomato mix (tomato,onion, basil, garlic), grilled asparagus
Does this sound like it stays w/i the scope of cycle 1?0
