May I ask which fruits your eating every day? just wondering which were best?
Strawberries! They're at every roadside stand here and so dang delicious! Had red grapes last week too (well, & kiwi & honeydew as I was finishing up what was in the fridge but...) Did I mention I really strawberries! Enjoy!0 -

I'm on day 13 of the 17-Day diet Accelerate phase. I'm tagging along in this forum to compare results with the rest of you.
My first week was great -- not hungry, good weight loss -- enough to keep me motivated.
My second week was challenged by spring break and travel to Florida with my kids. Still, I did not cheat. I managed to fit in all of what I needed and eat little that I shouldn't.
For those of you with the migraines: Drink more water. You may be experiencing a detox symptom. Plus, you may be suffering some caffeine withdrawal if you are accustomed to having coffee or caffeinated soda several times per day. Migraines are a classic symptom of chemical withdrawal. It could even be related to formerly-favorite foods that are no longer allowed.
Good luck to everyone following the methodology of the 17-Day Diet. I personally am not using the recipes in the book, but have created my own plan from the criteria he provides (I have little time to cook for myself, and I typically do not like other people's recipes).
So nice of Dr. Mike to teach us a better way,
Awesome!
Keep us posted on your results!
Good luck!

I see the fruit list includes grapes and prunes. Do you think a small amount of raisins ( 1/2 of 1/4 cup) would be ok in my yogurt? Think I'm going to initiate this plan, I would like to lose 8 lbs by end of June.0

I am on day 8 of cycle 2, and I have stopped loosing, I'm not really gaining either, I'm just teetering at the same weight, did I plateau? I am wondering if anyone that has been, or is on cycle 2 could give me some advice. I am going to stick it out till the end of this cycle, and if i don't go back to loosing weight, I think I'll start at cycle 1 again!!
I am so close, only 8 lbs to go!!!!!!!0 -
Day 12 is here of c1..... moving right along, can't drink all my water until we get back to ILL, as I don't want to have to go in the airport or the plane, so I will not drink as much today...packed my dinner, had to make a bagel think sandwich with turkey on it, not suppose to eat carbs, had no choice, couln't think of anything else to bring with me...bringing some carrots tho...
have a good day... hope I don't retain too much water...

Natalie, I made a bunch of lettuce wraps one day using turkey and tomato. Just wrapped it up in big lettuce leaves and chowed down. I probably had 8 of them and the lettuce has 15 calories vs. a bagel which has ???? plus the carbs. Just a thought for next time. They were pretty yummy!0 -
Hello Everyone! I am going to start on the 17 Day Diet later this week and had a question. Are you allowed to have deli meat? The book didn't really specify as far as I could see. I love Boars Head reduced sodium turkey and it makes a quick salad/meal so much easier.0

This diet sounds very intriguing. I am going away on vacation in June and I want to be at my goal before then so I can just maintain while I'm there. (Going to England and expecting to be challenged with the food available...please bust this myth if possible!!)
I am seriously considering starting this..the success stories are quite convincing..0 -
Was wondering is anyone interested, who's been following this for awhile, who would mind opening their food diary to give some menu ideas, no criticism allowed of course!0

I wish you girls that are losing weight would open up your diarys so we can see them.0

For everyone who hates green tea...
I FOUND THE MOST AMAZING GREEN TEA EVER!! It tastes awesome, like juice!
Found in the tea bag section at your grocery store..."Good Earth" Green Tea with Pomegranite and Cherry. I personally like iced tea better than hot tea...so I boil 5 cups of water...pour over 5 tea bags...steep for 10 minutes and then add 2 cups of cold water and store it in a pitcher in the fridge One glass + one packet of truvia = AWESOME!!
Try it!! You''ll love it.0 -
I am also considering this.
I don't COMPLETELY hate green tea, but I love oolong - would it be so bad to substitute oolong? (For those unaware, green teas have no/little oxidation, black teas are mostly/fully oxidated, and oolong teas are in the middle.)
Also, are there any cheese-lovers doing this? How are doing without cheese? Do you get to add it back in later, like the carbs?
Thanks, everyone!0 -

Thought I remembered reading something about how dried fruit has the sugars concentrated... (taking fish oil-supposed to help the brain ) Don't really see how 1/8 of a cup would really through the whole diet off though. Maybe try it for a week? It is all about messing up your metabolism the first 17 days though. So that might have something to do with avoiding the dried fruit. I don't remember seeing prunes though. I'll post more after I consult the book0 -

I don't even drink the green tea most of the time, or take green tea pills. I did have a cup and a half today though. I'm still losing weight without drinking it as prescribed in the book.0
