17 Day Diet Starting Feb 23

OK I've seen the word "detox" appear in several posts - what exactly does this mean? Specifically what toxins are you removing from your body?

The toxins from all the crap we've been eating....

You're body does this wonderfully on it's own

Yes, it most certainly does. But when you are eating healthier, it makes the job much easier for your body.

Exactly... Hence why we don't need to spend time or money on fad diets. We all know what is healthy... Eat clean and you're good to go.

Some of us need more structure than others. I guess you're one of the lucky ones that does not. I'm not going to argue about it--it works for me and I'm making a huge LIFESTYLE CHANGE. Bottom line, the OP was looking for support from others who are following this "diet". If you're not, then why respond?

What she said. I was just looking for the support of people who had already started, or were interested in starting. If you aren't interested or think its crap, thats obvioulsy perfectly fine, but please, don't waste your time on my interest in fad diets!

I started it the first of the year, lost 22 lbs so far. First phase was tough but now its not too bad. I tried not to think of it as a diet but a change in eating habits which helps. Good luck and keep it up, once the clothes start getting too big it comes a lot easier.

I agree with what you say. I too thought I was eating clean but with no structure and I was not losing any weight. After doing the 17 day diet I seem to have some discipline, I'm not hungry all the time and I'm losing weight and finally feeling good about myself.
