17 Day Diet

Have anyone tried the 17 Day diet?? If so how good did it work for you??

It has the word diet in the name, and the "17 day" thing implies something temporary, so it pretty much fails my litmus test

I have been on the 17 day diet since June 1. I am currently on round 2, cycle 1, Day11 and have lost 15lbs. I am very happy with this diet. It's easy to follow and I have been pleased with the results. So far it's working!!!!

No - I have spent too much money through the years on stuff like it. I am doing MFP now - my pace, my way, with great support from friends. I have found that works best for me. Good luck if you do try the diet though.

Doesn't that make it a lifestyle and not a 17 day diet?

I'm with the others. MFP is a lifestyle change, and I've lost 29 pounds in 60 days doing exactly as this site instructed. Not a fad, just better food choices/habits, and fitness.

I started my weight loss journey to a healthier me back in mid-March, and I started with the 17 Day Diet. I bought a treadmill, and I needed something to help jump start me into eating more healthy. I did cycle one and cycle 2. I did follow cycle one pretty much to a tee, but I didn't follow cycle 2 exactly. I lost 15lbs in 4 weeks, but..... I was pretty sedentary and 80lbs overweight when I started, so... I think no matter what I did I would have lost 10-15lbs anyway.

However.... what I did notice after the first 17 days is that I did not crave any sweets, salty or carbs like I used to. Cutting a lot of that out for 2 weeks is just what I needed. I have not followed the diet since then.... although it is pretty standard stuff.... eating healthy protein, fruits, veggies, etc. I have been following MFP and exercising, and I have averaged a 2lb / week weight loss since.

You can try it to jump start you, but... again... if you really want to lose weight and keep it off, you have to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

I've never done it, but a co-worker did and she's so tiny now! She's been doing it for awhile though and I think she's using it like a lifestyle change.

Nope, I just count my calories on here and exercise 5 days a week. I don't like the word diet. I found it is much easier to eat around my husband when I don't call it a diet too. I'm still losing weight and that's all that matters to me!!!

If you need a jumpstart on a lifestyle change, it may be a good one. Pretty good info in the book and it isn't a technical read.
