Hi there!

I am starting the 17 day diet on Monday and would love to get some folks together to support each other! Who's in?!

    Can I ask why just 17 days? What happens after 17 days? Sounds like a fad diet to me, which never seem to work for the long term, but good luck I gues...

    I've heard about it. Is it like a cleanse or just to get back on good eating habits?

    on Day 18 you start cycle 2.

    This eating plan gives a good boost to weight loss...it's not easy to follow strictly and yes I would say some of the weight is water weight but the rest is not.

    It is not a cleanse it gets you on the road to healthier choices...

    The only thing I will say is that after cycle two it really is best to just start calorie counting as it doesn't prepare you for maintenance really...

    I noticed another thread just now about the same thing if you ladies want to join them.

    The word "diet" and number "17" threw me off too-- However from everything I read the reason they refer to it this way is simply because it is cycles of foods... Each lasting 17 days
