    Is this the diet devised by Dr. Mike Moreno? You have four cycles to work through.

    Cycle 1: Accelerate. Encourages rapid weight loss, cleansing and fat burning. Discourages fat storage.
    Cycle 2: Activate. Resets the metabolism.
    Cycle 3: Achieve. Develop good eating habits, re-teach yourself how to eat carbs.
    Cycle 4: Arrive. A combination of the first three Cycles. On weekends, enjoy your favorite foods.

    Hi. My mother is doing the 17 day diet. I don't know too much about it, but I will see what I can find out for you.

    Are you going to Vegas this March ?? Just curious since we are going on the 18th of March !

    just like any diet plan should be repetitie for more that 4 weeks. You want to change it up because your body adapts very well and very easily.

    I just got this book.. very interesting. Basically 4 cycles. The first is the most stringent; basically lean protein and certain veggies only are allowed, no carbs at all. The 2 & 3 cycles gradually add & allow for other foods such as lean red meat and certain carbs and then the 4th cycle is a maintenance type cycle.

    I didn't realize when I ordered it that you're basically not allowed carbs for the first 2 cycles, 44 days total. I don't know how well I'm going to do with that, I already know that it will be next to impossible. But I am going to make my own modifications and allow a very small amount of carbs and only the correct types (whole grains, oats, brown rice, etc).

    Here's the link....

    The cycled eating plan features four distinct phases that are intended to burn fat, reteach you how to eat and most importantly, reset your metabolism so that it works efficiently and smartly.

    But because of its quick weight loss results, you may not see long-lasting weight loss success with The 17 Day Diet unless you permanently alter how you eat.

    This will be like our 8th trip, I think. We love it. Feel free to email me if you have any questions about Vegas. I know more about that than diets. Hope you have a great time !!

    The diet is actually pretty easy so far. I'm not 'hungry' but still craving junk foods (of course!) :ohwell: You can fill up on unlimited lean proteins and veggies from the list; I'm loving the 2 fruits and 2 yogurts per day...but miss the sweets & chips lol. I lost 5 pounds in the first 4 days (yes...lotsa potty-times) and right now I'm on day 7 and not weighing myself because of my period. :grumble: Looking forward to the next cycle for the whole grains!!!

    Forgot to add that you can find out a lot about the diet and how people are doing by going to TheDoctorsTV.com message boards.
