    I don't know what this diet is... but it'll take a lot more than 17 days to get used to a new lifestyle.

    I agree that you can't accomplish anything significant if you limit your diet to 17 days. Think of it as the first 17 days of the rest of your life.:bigsmile: Otherwise, it is a waste of time.:cry:

    Please don't! I tried it... COMPLETE WASTE OF A BOOK! It's not enough to sustain anybody... You will be hungry, Very very hungry. Just my 2 cents.

    I started this diet 2 years ago. In July of 2011 I weighed 230 pounds. In December of 2011, I was down to 173. Then in January, I started working a 2nd job and I wasn't able to follow the diet. Within 8 months I gained 40 pounds back. It is important that you stick with the diet and realize that it's a lifestyle change and you will be successful at it. I started the diet again in mid June of this summer and I am down 15 pounds. Add me if you like.

    A calorie deficit is all that is needed to lose weight. When something is labeled "diet", "detox", "cleanse" or anything else that promises fast results, it is a fad and nothing but a waste of time and money. Learn new behaviors that can last the long run.

    I believe the point is instead of doing a fad diet, why don't you just eat in a caloric deficit, exercise and make that your lifestyle... It has worked pretty well for me and other on here.... Best of Luck.....

    Agree 100%. Besides, MFP members will be here to help when she comes back and says "Help, I regained all my weight back."

    why would I want to follow a complicated fad diet?

    it will work but lots of people are unable to finish even the first 17 day cycle.
    it cuts out nearly everything and is pretty hard to maintain.
    good on you if you can "cold turkey" cut sugar, carbs, caffeine, but most can't.
    try your best to eat clean but don't kick yourself or give up if you can't do it all in 17 days.
    baby steps make lifestyle changes and solid progress. i think that's what is the mantra on these boards.

    p.s. please try to ignore any snarky comments. most people on here are helpful and supportive. there's just a HUGE intolerance for people who are either just starting out or haven't picked up the standards of this group. good luck and hang in there.

    Geeez I'm sorry I asked the question!!!!! Trust me I hate diet's! Hell I know there are no magic pill to lose weight!! I am looking at this as a life style change in my life. I know the way to be successful is calories in, calories out. I am in no rush to lose my weight! Slow n steady wins the race
