Today is my day 1. It seems to be good so far. My thing is bread, cheese, and ranch. It's going to be difficult for these 17 days for me. I believe it will be do able though.

You can have some low fat cheese on foods (like Parmesan or cottage cheese.) I sprinkled a little parmesan on my egg white omelette this morning. Gives the taste of cheese without loading it down with fat.0

Yes, I used parmesan cheese on my egg whites as well.0

It's a book. You can probably Google it, though it may be better to have the book copy for all the details.0 -

Happy New Year! I am also starting today. I've been working toward starting for the past few days, and today is going to be great. There are a good deal of alternative choices I can choose bc my problem is bread, cheese, ranch, etc. I have been using parmesan instead of regular cheese. Also baking things instead of breading them.0 -
Good morning, and Happy New Year! Today starts my Day 1! So far I have had my warm water w/ lemon.... yum! I am eating my first serving of fruit (an orange) and plan on getting in some greek yogurt, spinach salad, and grilled chicken in later today!
Quick question, this is my second time on the 17 DD (I lost about 25 pounds in the summer) and I am trying to remember the 'rules'. Is it no fruit after 2:00 and no food after 7:00? Am I remembering correctly? My book is packed away because I am currently in the process of moving. Can anyone help me out? Thanks!

Yes to the no fruit after 2. As far as no food after 7 I will have to read over it again.0 -

This works for me: a spoonful of cocoa powder (baking kind) mixed in with plain or vanilla greek yogurt and a little Stevia. Tastes like eating cheesecake filling. Really. 0 -
I'm hungry!!!! I'm really active ( running/ kickboxing etc....and I go back and forth up 5 floors working in a hospital) . Definitely have to up the ante. I'm getting hungry at night. I need to add something to this diet. I eat 3 meals and two snacks. I get my fruits, veggies, probiotics and protein but geez I'm still hungry at night.0

Since you are active are you netting your Cal's? You may not be getting enough Cal's being highly active.0 -

I don't think you're supposed to be highly active in phase 1. I'm pretty sure Dr. Mike recommends no more than 2 blocks of 17 minutes of light activity per day, because there's not enough complex carbs and varied protein sources, though I did leave my book at home. Maybe you could follow the PMS exception week, or skip to phase 2?0 -
I re-read it, i decided I'm modifying it. I'm following the general principles but I enjoy exercise and activities too much to limit it to 17 min. I used the content to help me change my diet choices.0

So what Cycle 1 recipes have you all come up with or tried that are good?
I came across a post where a woman mentioned putting pasta sauce on her green beans as a sub for pasta. I used the frozen longer green beans from trader Joe's. I tried it with a low sugar artichoke tomato sauce I found at the organic market. Then, I added in a diced turkey/spinach patty I made. It's not a total sub for pasta, but it was pretty good.
I plan to use the turkey sausage recipe on the doctors page and put it in a quiche or just form it into patties to eat with egg whites in the morning.0 -
Today is my day 1. So far, so good after I made it through the afternoon headache and starvation with a spinach salad, grilled chicken, cucumbers, and fat free ranch dressing!
SW: 232.8
GW: 200 then 180 then 170
I am praying this works and determined.0 -
Glad everyone is up for it! My thing is making thru cycle 1,but I did fine yesterday. I've been SICK today not able to eat or keep it down so I will do better tomorrow. I've got to get better!0

Hardest thing I've found(aside from hot lemon water) is the green tea. I've loathed green tea for years, and I wasn't sure I could do that part. But I found that Lipton's green tea with acai, dragon fruit, and melon tastes nothing like green tea
That's my tip so far.
As for the lemon water.... I can't drink it really hot, but lukewarm is better than cold, right?0 -

I haven't been doing green tea or water with lemon. I've got to get groceries. I can do room temp water though.0 -
My boss has lost 45 pounds doing this, so a couple of us in the office bought copies of the book as well. Mine came today although I probably won't start until Saturday or Sunday because I'll need to shop.0
-
I hope you feel better soon! If I don't have enough veggies in the house I start to cave into temptation. Can you at least hold down water? Enough fluids can help kick start this thing, I think.0

Day 2! I feel great, and I'm surprised that it hasn't been as hard as I imagined, but I have been missing my rice...
For dinner last night, I made an awesome chicken stir fry & wrapped it in lettuce. So good! But I need to find more recipes because I know I'll get tired of eating salad & stir fry pretty quick..0 -

Hi all! I haven't been eating much since I've been super congested. It's hard to stuff your face when you have to breathe through you mouth. I'm on Day 6 and have lost 7 lbs so far. I'm hoping my appetite doesn't come back too crazy when I feel better.
I guess the good side of being sick is I can't separate the 17 day diet detox feeling from the sinus stuff.0 -

Hey chick! I guess most of us are sick. Feel better! I started over and am on day 3. Lost 5 lbs so far.
I believe my body is cleansing all the impunity out.
Anyone else have a cleanse from the 17 DD? Might just be me bc I'm sick.0 -
Hi everyone! I'm on day two and have really struggled today. I am craving sugar so I am trying to stay out of the kitchen/break room! I am hoping the cravings die down quickly! 0

I went grocery shopping today with all of the children in the area who were out of school. I'd forgotten that it wasn't just my kids out of school, you know? I'd also forgotten that my treat when I get home with out losing my mind is a homemade mocha and a truffle.
I had green tea.
It just wasn't the same, but it was pretty good.
On the plus side? My husband said, "I know I said I was going to buy wine today, but I also know it would have been a hard temptation to resist for you, so I didn't."0 -

If you can get past the first few days, you've got it! The cravings will go away soon.0
