    It was way too restrictive for me. I think I lasted 17 hours. Srs. It's another low-carb type diet that works because you've created a calorie deficit.

    You can have the same results creating a deficit and eating a wider variety of food, but that isn't very marketable so books and diets like this pop up every January.

    I only lasted 17 seconds. It was too tight.






    The restrictions, you perverts.

    Actually... they don't work. Or, they work temporarily while you follow them.... but once you go back to eating the way you did before, the weight magically comes back.

    Isn't it funny how that happens?

    A very close friend of mine has used the 17 day and has had great success. It's not really a 17 day thing, it has different cycles to it, where you are eating clean healthy food. You go through the cycles and continue on for however long you like. She took the success from the 17 day cycles and went to into a steady clean eating on her own. She has lost about 50lbs and looks great.

    Thank you for your kind response.:smile: 50 pounds is amazing! I just need to lose 30 and was hoping the cycles would help me reprogram my eating habits.

    So you took the ONE response in favor of this diet and are running with it?

    Good luck to you

    I was thanking the one person that wasn't a rude judgmental jerk.

    I'm sure there are people that have tried it. They may have even had success with it. The problem with diets like this is they are not sustainable. What happens after the 17 days to ensure the weight stays off and you don't gain it all back? A lot of times we want results fast. My thoughts are, I didn't gain this weight in 17 days (6 weeks, 90 days, whatever), I'm not going to lose it that fast either.

    As simple as it sounds, maintaining a moderate calorie deficit will do so much more for you than any "special" diet. You will lose weight slowly but you will be able to keep it off easier. Many people on here are doing it and succeeding. It really is that simple.

    Hey, OP, what about this response? Why not acknowledge this one, too? It is neither rude nor judgemental.

    Sadly, I'm pretty sure I already know the answer. Best of luck to you.

    I'm on an everyday diet. I eat whatever I want, every day. I just eat in the amount of calories where it is enough to fuel my body, but also enough of a deficit where I will lost weight. After I have lost the amount of weight I want to lose, I will continue to eat whatever I want, every day, but in the amount of calories where I will neither gain nor lose weight.

    Sorry it took me so long to respond. I am a busy Woman with a career and Family. Boy how I wish I didn't have a life or any friends so I could spend all day of MFP looking for different ways to be a *kitten* rag!
    If you Google the 17 Day Diet you will get an overview of the 4 cycles of the 17 day diet,which has very few restrictions outside of No Booze
    no sugar except fruit sugar before 2
    no processed foods
    no refined carbs.
    Pretty much identical to the diet Diabetics have to follow. By the time you are in the 4th cycle you can eat whatever you like in moderation.
