    What happens on day 18?

    On Day 18 you start the second cycle of 17 days. And after that cycle you start the third cycle of 17 days. And after that you repeat the process unless you've hit your goal weight and then you move into "cycle 4" which is maintenance for the rest of your life.

    I'm not on it, just giving information I've found from the book.

    Wow, Love that you asked if anyone else is doing the diet and you get bunch of negitive remarks. Kudoos to you for just passing up McDonalds and other fast food!

    I wouldn't necessarily call them negative. A great many people on MFP like to think of diet as a noun rather than a verb...they look at diet as a lifestyle, not something to be started and then stopped when you've reached some arbitrary goal. I would be one of those people. When I finally stopped with the fad diet nonsense and started actually looking at my calorie intake...well, that pretty much changed my life. I and a lot of others have learned that it's pretty important to actually know about calorie goals and proper nutrition...what a serving of something actually is, etc if you want sustained, long term success. Most fad dieters yo-yo up and down...I know, I was one for years. I'd always have some good success initially, but always return to my old bad habits.

    I started the 17-Day Diet a year ago. My husband bought the book and we stayed on it together. We both lost about 10 pounds each and kept it off for nearly a year. I failed to go back to the beginning phases, though. Therefore, I stalled at the 10 pound loss. In October, I started the Ideal Protein Weight Loss Plan. I have lost an additional 25.8 pounds and over 30 inches. That makes me just 14 pounds from my goal (pre-menopausal) weight.

    I feel that the 17-Day Diet gives a great eating plan that makes you feel better. I will keep what I learned from that book in use after I phase out of the Ideal Protein program. My body thrives on the probiotic yogurt! One of the few things I miss on Ideal Protein.
