The 17 Day Diet

I started taking ONE potassium pill 500 mg, took the first one today, will see if that helps...
I am no where near the required 3500 mg per day of potassium, I did notice that while tracking my food on MFP.

just ordered the book & i am going to give this a try. If I could get down to 130lbs (a healthy BMI) I would be less worried about the pre hypertension I had last fall at 150lbs. If it works I want to pass it on to my mom too. She has been trying so hard- good diet a lot of exercise for over a year and hasn't lost more then 2 pounds. I have been doing turbo fire with good results- I love it and I am a bit worried there won't be enough cals in phase 1 for me to keep doing it. I can not stop the turbo fire or i am afraid i will not pick it back up again after this first phase. I guess we will see. Good luck all!

There are going to be times where you want to cheat, but I can tell you for the most part, eating clean will diminish your cravings significantly. I really do love healthy food and I have enjoyed eating this way immensly. I really could see myself eating this way for life. The book really does transform your thinking about food and eating. Don't be intimidated, really! You CAN do it! You have a lot of people here for support as well.

Thank you! I like eating healthy too. Bad food has something in it to where it makes you want to eat more bad food. it's hard to get back on track once you're off. how long have you been on the diet and how much have you lost?

I'm nearing the end of my first 17 days and I have lost almost 6 lbs. Which I actually think is great considering I have had 4 cheat days (couldn't resist the Easter candy!). If I had stayed completely on the diet, I probably would have lost more. But before the 17 DD, it would have taken me 2 mths or more to lose 6 lbs. I kept teetering back and forth. I still have a few days left on C1 and am hoping I can stay completely on it and lose a couple of more lbs.

OK people, the Breakstone liveactive cottage cheese is VERY GOOD! our walmart has the big containers but i bought the single servings just to check it out first. YUM! It's not runny at all, very thick and tasty! I may have to still get the single servings because i would want to eat more than I'm supposed to! I like yogurt but it's a nice break from that.

I am new to this website what is the 17-day diet and where do i find this information at for it... I am very interested in it also...

:happy: Hi all

I am on C1 D7 and as of this morning I am down 6 pounds. I am so excited, this really encourages me to press forward. I went grocery shopping for the new week and pick up a few more veggies to snack on during the work week. I am truley hoping that during my next 7 days I see a 6 to 10 pound lost.

Good luck to the other 17DD participants...:happy:

Hello all!!

Today is my first day on this diet. I decided to give it a try after reading through so many positive reviews within this thread.

Good luck

Hi All!

I am on C1D3 and am down 2 lbs!!! The first day I had a headsche in the afternoon, and was craving crabs- I didn't give in!! By day 2 I I wasn't craving anything sweet/craby in the afternoon (my hardest time) and I didn't feel hungry. I have been excercising about 30 minutes a day on the elliptical machine. Excited to see the progress after just two days!! :happy:

p.s. my NSV-went to the movies this weekend and didn't eat any junk (i popcorn) took some veggies (jicama is my new frerind, yum!!!).

Awesome for the first few days!
Good job at the movies too.
This lifestyle change will be challenging...but you can do it!
Good luck!
