17 Day Diet

The more I read and understand about food and the lifestyle choices I make everyday in regards to food and exercise the more these kind of 'Diets' annoy me.

HOWEVER - that's just me. If it works/ed for you that's great.

If you're looking for a quick weight loss solution then I HIGHLY recommend this "diet". It truly does work. I only did one round of the accelerated phase because I didn't have much weight to lose & I lost what I wanted too lose.
Had I continued the entire 3 phases I know I would have definitely lost more... I actually recommend this diet (I have the book explaining how it works & the cookbook that goes with it) & I've loaned it out to a few people because I think it works that well.

She actually sent me this:

Cycle 1 - Accelerate 17 Days

Diet will consist of lean proteins, vegetables, low sugar fruits, probiotic foods, and good fats. Starchy foods such as potatoes, legumes, brown rice, corn, and oatmeal are not permitted on this cycle, but remember…it’s just 17 days.
Enjoy fresh fruits and veggies as much as possible. Frozen and canned verggies are fine, in moderation. They must be unsweetened though.
Do not eat any fruit after 2pm. Fruit is a carb. If you eat carbs in the evening it’s harder for the body to burn them off bc you expend less energy in the evening. Those carbs may be stored as fat.
Avoid alcohol and sugar in order to help your body eliminate toxins, improve digestion, and burn fat.
Probiotics boost the immune system and promote gut cleansing bacteria. They are also thought to help burn fat.
Eat slowly and until full, don’t overload your stomach.
Drink eight 8oz glasses of water a day.
Start off every morning, as soon as you wake, with a hot glass of water with juice from ½ lemon squeezed into to. This gets your digestive juices flowing.
You can have black coffee (can sweeten with truvia) and tea. It’s actually recommended that you drink green tea with every meal to get in 3 servings, which is beneficial. However, you don’t have to do this.
Exercise at least 17 minutes a day.

Lean Proteins: Protein stimulates the reduction of body fat. Eat all you want of the following proteins during this cycle.
Fish (salmon, sole, flounder, catfish, tilapia, canned light tuna in water)
Poultry (chicken breasts, turkey breasts, ground turkey, eggs)

I have noticed that people are very negative here, they must be hungry. I feel if it works for you go with it. The 17 day diet does work but only way to know that is to of tried it. Stop the negative and if you don't wanna do it DONT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You people must be sadists...just saying. I mean, why? Why torture yourself? I don't get it.

Actually, that would make them masochists. The jerk-weeds that peddle this schlop are the sadists.

I've been drinking for 17 days straight.
