Hi everyone...I am on day 12 of the 17 day diet. I have lost 9.5 pounds so far. I would like to lose 30 more. Any one else tried this diet yet?:smile:

    What will you do after the 17 days?

    I've done it in the past. I only did phase one. I found that just tracking my foods and excercising worked for me but I've heard from many others that this worked for them since it isn't really a "diet" but taking out certain foods.

    Unless you are going to follow this diet forever I would suggest switching to something that is sustainable.

    I have known a few people who have done this diet and reached their goal weight. When they got to where they wanted to be and started eating normal again they gained the weight back.

    Don't look at a diet. Change your lifestyle. A diet will only give you temporary results where an actual lifestyle change will give you lasting results.

    I did ALOT of research of that yesterday! What a coincidence!

    Did you feel it was very strict/difficult to follow?

    would love to hear your experience on it.

    to answer the question- there are different stages. After the first 17 days, you go to another stage.

    It sounds a little extreme to lose so much weight in such a short time ? Each to their own I guess but this sounds a proper challenge :noway:

    I'm using this diet as a kick start...I was already exercising 5-6 days a week. I do piloxing, turbo kick, step, RIPPED and had minimal results. Now I can see the difference which will motivate me to continue.

    it is a great program to follow to help change the way you view food and start eating much healthier. its not just for 17 days, its 17 day cycles. i think there are 4 of them, then you can repeat. the last cycle is maintenance and is very much just a healthy balanced diet.
    I did it for two weeks and felt great, then i fell off the wagon. im finding counting calories and increasing my fruit and veg easier. the first stage of the 17 day diet is very limited.

    This. Exactly this.

    There is no "Kick start my metabolism" diet, or anything else. And if you're doing this much of a restrictive diet and jumping into alllll kinds of workout programs all at once, get ready for burnout.

    I agree about the first phase. I can't say that I followed it to the letter. But its still working.

    it is actually a healthy eating plan that teaches you to continue to eat healthy, as long as you get through all 3 phases, lose the weight you are wanting to lose, and then go into the maintenance phase, which is basically clean eating with planned cheat meals certain times...People are so aggressive when you mention the word "diet" on here...it is so annoying. lol. Yes, the word DIET is in the program name...however, it is just a way to eat clean and healthy long term. For those who say they know people who did it and then the people gained back weight or whatever, that would be because they didn't continue the healthy lifestyle. Anyone on any eating plan/diet/or who just eats, if they over eat, especially the bad stuff, then it just doesn't work...People on here counting calories, guess what, you are on a diet!!! hate to break it to you. lol
