    I started the 17 Day Diet today (and found this website when searching for a free food journal). So far so good! Actually felt quite full after dinner, but think I'll have a small snack (ff yogurt with sf jam mixed in) before bed since I'm starting to feel hollow... Nervous about mid-day tomorrow since I'll be out running errands---too easy to just pick up something to eat!

    Loving all the support and suggestions here!

    I understand this book is more of a lifestyle change, but does is allow you to introduce carbs back into your diet? I have heard of other diets where if you stop eating the foods it recommends all your weight will come back. I am not talking about falling off the good food wagon and gorging on junk, but I want to learn better ways to eat then choose my own foods without sabotaging my diet.

    On day 2 today. This morning I weighed myself and I lost 3lbs! 3lbs in ONE DAY! Holy cow! I actually feel pretty great. Last night was rough, I'm a nightime snacker, but I got through it and today I feelt great. That 3lbs loss helps :D I haven't seen the scale budge in a year!

    Yes, carbs are re-introduced. I think that happens in Cycle 3.

    I have to keep seeing a loss to stay motivated... but I'm excited. I just need to eat more.

    Check out the article on USA Today's website regarding the new "low carb" diets. The nutrutionist is definitely not a fan...

    Hi everyone!! So I guess I started this 17 day diet yesterday but I cheated myself. Today it is back on!! I think that trying to start this while having PMS might have been a bad idea lol. Im a carb freak and damn this is difficult lol. So im not a huge fan of salad, especially with no meat in it, so is that ok to substitute the salad with scrambled egg whites? I think I have too much fruit on my list today but that doesn't seem too bad to me. I have to change a couple of things around with this diet, is that ok? Need a little help!! (My diary is open if anyone wants to look at what I have logged for today to see what I plan on eating)

    I am going to be getting this book soon and wondering what people are doing for breakfast that does not include eggs? I am not a egg eater and most diets have eggs for the breakfast meals. Any ideas?? Thanks

    Yogurt & fruit. The book gives some general guidelines and sample menus too.

    I'm so glad I finally found a group on here doing the 17 Day Diet. Mind if I join? I am on C1 Day 6 today. I've lost almost 5 lbs already. (Could be more, but I started TOM yesterday so I could be retaining some fluid). I am so excited I'm finally dropping weight and I am not having temptations either.
    I haven't gone over 1200 calories any day, but I am super satisfied and haven't been hungry since day 2.
    I'm really loving what we can eat, because I like healthy food anyway, but having a guideline has just helped me immensly.

    Hey Guys!!!

    I started the 17day diet the second week of february...I have lost a total of 34 pounds! I think it is a great diet. In fact i hate calling it a diet...it is a lifestyle change! I have gone through the first 3 cycles and have since gone back to the first cycle again, since the 4th cycle is a maintain cycle! Good luck on your journey with it! I hope that you like it. Just stick to it, it is simple and it will come off! I still have another 87 pounds to lose, so i will be on this diet for a while! We are in it together! Good luck! Let me know if you have any questions about it! It is pretty simple! :)

    Have a great day!

    Is it ok to have extra fruit to fill the hunger pangs?

    I don't think so. You are supposed to keep your fruit servings to only 2/day. And none after 2pm. You can fill it with more protein or more veggies.

    Wow! You've done awesome! I'm wanting to lose a total of 55 lbs, so at that rate it won't take me long. I'm loving this way of eating as well.
