    This plan is great so far! I have lost 7 pounds in the first 6 days and I feel great. I wonder when my progress will slow down, but enjoying it currently. It definitely is a lifestyle change and not a real diet since you can incorporate foods back in slowly throughout.

    I've done this diet before, as well as the South Beach diet, Fast Diet, even "7 day quick weight off Oriental diet"! This is the one I go back to because it's the simplest, I know I'll lose a lot of weight in the beginning, and that motivates me to stick with it. I know losing a pound a day is not sustainable, but eventually you will begin to lose fat if you stick with this. The initial weight loss makes you feel a lot better, not bloated, and energizes you to continue. As others have said, it has 4 7-day cycles, which gradually get you to eating a normal, maintenance-type of diet. You can gain the weight back easily after any diet if you start eating too much junk. I don't think rapid weight loss in the beginning makes you gain weight back faster, unless you only had the equivalent of that water weight to lose. Anyway, I've lost 7 pounds so far and am really excited!

    I am really excited to say this really worked for my daughter she lost 27 lb in 4 months, so that motivated me to start . So far I have lost 7 lb in less than a week

    I have started this diet 3 days ago. I am a nurse, and a couple Dr's I work with had success on it, so I am trying it. The first day I had a headache and was a witch. I was also soooo freaking hungry. I am using MFP in conjunction with the diet, and limiting my calories to 1200 a day. This is only for a very short time while I am detoxing off the sugar, and detoxfying my body. ( the first 17 days).I am eating so many veggies and lean protiens, so even though 1200 doesn't seem like a lot- after being on it for 3 days my body is adjusting and not being hungry. I was living off fast food and drinking way too much. I am excited!!!!!!!!!!! I will update this after the 17 days is over.

    My husband and I did one cycle of the 17 day diet in 2012.
    I lost 16lbs in 17 days and he lost 26lbs in 17 days.

    I personally found cutting sugar out the hardest for me since I am a sugar addict.
    But after a week we both felt great! More energy, better sleep, flatter bellies.

    We are starting again this month.

    The book is easy to follow with the eating plan and recipes.

    This thread is from 2012...The last post before you was in 2014...

    Maybe start a new thread about this - this one is pretty dead.

    The 17 plan is SAFE and Works Quickly, the first 17 days....you feel good and they incorperate most of your favorite foods as you go along building your eating plan every 17 days...but YOU NEED TO GET THE BOOK...and just follow the plan, you can mix it up if say one day you don't feel like the breakfast lunch or dinner they are setting up for you....you can go to another day in that cycle and say Yes I want that instead......its the best diet Ive ever been on....can't figure out how to post a picture i guess ill have to sign in under my phone....:)

    Quick is not necessarily better. Or good. Or recommended unless you're 400+lbs and have serious life or death concerns.
