Why Fasting does not Work for Long Term Weight Loss

Most people will try to lose weight fast by not eating. When you try to lose weight this way, your body goes into starvation mode. While you will likely decrease your calories and will reduce your weight for a short time, you are slowing down your metabolism.

When you starve your body and slow down your metabolism, your body will store anything you eat because it will expect that you will starve it again. Eventually, this will lead to weight gain rather than weight loss. This is why it is important to speed up your metabolism by eating.
How the 17 Day Diet Works

According to Dr. Moreno, this diet plan works by confusing your metabolism. It does this through four cycles of altering the amounts of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats you eat every few days. Each cycle has a different goal. The four cycles are:

1. Accelerate – This cycle promotes fat burning, cleansing, and quick weight loss without storing fat.
2. Activate – This cycle resets your metabolism.
3. Achieve – This cycle teaches you good eating habits and shows you how to eat carbs the right way.
4. Arrive – This cycle combines the first three cycles.

Why Clean Eating?

This diet plan promotes clean eating, which includes avoiding sugar, process foods, and other unhealthy foods. Eating clean can not only help you lose weight, but it can completely change your life. Eating clean can be the hardest part of the entire diet plan because eliminating the foods you love can sometimes simply be too hard to do. The 17 day diet plan will give you tips on how to make this transition easier.

If eating clean is so difficult, then why is it important? Basically, the phrase “you are what you eat” comes into play. When you eat junk and processed food the majority of the time, your body suffers. When you decide to eat whole, natural foods, such as: fruits, vegetables, lean protein, and complex carbohydrates, your body thrives.

Some basic guidelines to practice when eating clean include:

* Eliminate refined sugar
* Make healthy choices
* Eliminate alcoholic beverages
* Eat breakfast every morning
* Eliminate processed foods
* Increase water intake
* Increase natural food intake

The book also promotes exercise. For continued success at losing weight, you will want to follow the 17 minute exercise plan daily.

While losing weight at a fast pace has not always been the best avenue to take for long term weight loss, this diet plan actually tackles the obstacles of losing weight fast by “confusing” your metabolism.

The great news is you can eat the foods you love on the weekends with the 17 Day Diet. This diet plan can work for long term weight loss if you continue to follow the plan throughout the year. You will not find this book in stores. The 17 Day Diet can only be purchased through its website.

I want to try it.. Dr Phil never really suggests any diets, but he did like this one quite a bit.. it may be worth a try.. let me know how you like it!!

I saw this also on The Doctors & the before & after of the people who did it. I found the book on amazon for cheap.

Im totally getting this book!

From what I could find out, it looks like the Eat Clean Diet but on a 17 day schedule with rotating a variety of unprocessed food, and no preservatices or refined sugar.

My thought is that you could just follow the 6 small meals a day plan and eat clean, just change up your food every few weeks so you don't get bored.

People can be very clever with advertising.

Thanks for the info Iam waiting for my book I cant will start clean eatingnday I wait to get started.
Monday I am jus tgoing to start clean eating.

I am on the 17 day diet and on day 16 now. I really like it!

Bump...I just saw this on Dr. Phil today (perhaps a rerun?) Anyways, I was interested in hearing how people are doing with this diet. Is it worth a try?

That's great! So you've lost almost a pound a day? WOW! I think I may have to give it a try. Are the power cookies something sold in stores or a recipe? If it's a recipe and not too involved, would you mind posting it? I have an 11 year old I'm trying to convert to healthier eating...and I'm willing to trick him into it!

I absolutely LOVE this diet

I started on January 2 and have lost 27 pounds so far. It's SO easy to follow!

That is amazing! Good for you! I have been doing some diet research and so far, I am leaning towards this one. I have a Kindle so I can get it 22 seconds flat but I just want to make sure I buy the one that's going to work! This one looks like keeper!

Hi all,

I started the 17 day diet 10 days ago. So far the diet is easy to follow - however I have a couple of questions.

Is anybody taking the probiotic as a pill? Or Green tea as a supplement? How much Truvia are you using? I noticed the book mentioned parmesan cheese during the activate cycle, however there is no mention of "how much" or how often. Has anybody been successful drinking more than 2 cups of coffee per day?

I have lost 3 pounds - however the scale bounces up and down every couple of days. On the sample meal pages, 1-2 packet of truvia is included. Under condiments, it says Truvia is allowed in moderation.

I am using Truvia in my morning coffee (6-8 cups) , and I have replaced my afternoon coffee with 2 cups of green tea (with Truvia). Other than that, I am following the diet.

I am trying to loose 15-20 lbs. It is just SOOOOO frustrating. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
