It's a public forum, therefore anyone can come in and give an opinion. Having an opposing opinion does not equal negativity.
However, it's January, so there are a lot of people reading these threads. The people who have been here a long time (me) and have done it without any special diet (also me) try to let the new people see that the old tried and true method of eating in moderation and moving a little more does actually work. Restrictive diets like these rarely work long term. Who wants a life without pizza, cookies, brownies, or margaritas? Not I.
Mmmm... pizza, cookies, brownies and booze. I'm IN!0 -

Instead of a 17 day diet, you could eat at a calorie deficit and lose weight. Magic.0

I first heard of the 17DD in December when it was listed at the top diet of 2014. I created a group, and I am hoping to recruit others who are interested in giving this shot! http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/101325-17-day-diet-2015
BRIEF SUMMARY ON THE DIET (in case you're unfamiliar like I first was):
The 17 Day Diet was created by Dr. Mike Moreno. The diet is centered around four 17 day cycles:
Cycle 1: Accelerate- the rapid weight loss portion, which helps flush sugar and fat storage from your system
Cycle 2: Activate- the metabolic restart portion, with alternating low and high calorie days to help shed body fat
Cycle 3: Achieve- a phase that involves learning to control portions and introducing new fitness routines
Cycle 4: Arrive- a combination of the first three cycles to keep good habits up for good. On weekends, enjoy your favorite foods
**HOPE YOU JOIN!**
Flushes sugar and fat storage from your system? LMAO who believes such nonsense?

Fat cells never go away, other than liposuction. And sugar (carbohydrate) storage never goes away, which is a good thing because you need carbs to run the body.ChristinaLeeConway wrote:Cycle 1: Accelerate- the rapid weight loss portion, which helps flush sugar and fat storage from your system
Your metabolism does not need to be restarted. If it's stopped, you're dead.Cycle 2: Activate- the metabolic restart portion, with alternating low and high calorie days to help shed body fat
If you eat less than you burn, you will lose weight. Alternating low & high calories will only slow that.
This is the only useful part. Skip the others and just keep doing this.Cycle 3: Achieve- a phase that involves learning to control portions and introducing new fitness routines
Enjoy your favorite foods all the time, just in reasonable amounts.Cycle 4: Arrive- a combination of the first three cycles to keep good habits up for good. On weekends, enjoy your favorite foods
Not sure what your point is...If you're not interested just keep going on your merry way. I wasn't trying to spam anyone. I have nothing to benefit by asking people to join this group other than making friends with similar weight loss goals...
The point is that there are a lot of new people that "just want to lose weight" the quickest way that they can - they often don't realize that there are no shortcuts and that the best long term results will come from a reasonable calorie deficit and exercise. When you follow a strict plan like this you'll end up craving all of the stuff you're giving up, lending towards a better chance that you'll fail. And as others have said, once you hit day 18 and start eating more calories that were allowed during the previous 17 days, you'll gain everything back, if not more.
There are some of us that would like to see the new people learn the right way the first time, rather than to be lead down a path that will only lead towards frustration and failure.0 -

its because a lot of people are looking for a "quick fix" or something that will help them lose weight rapidly. Also, high and low calorie days is not a lifestyle, its an eating disorder0 -

There's no negativity on this thread... Opposing opinions DOES NOT equal negativity. Plus, it's a public forum. If they didn't want opposing opinions, then this thread should have never been created. Since it was posted publicly, then you don't get to choose who has a right to post. Public = everyone has a right to post.0 -

Double like!!Avoid fad diets, and avoid people peddling very questionable "science".
Eat real food, in reasonable portions, and exercise at least 30 min/day.
Fat cells never go away, other than liposuction. And sugar (carbohydrate) storage never goes away, which is a good thing because you need carbs to run the body.ChristinaLeeConway wrote:Cycle 1: Accelerate- the rapid weight loss portion, which helps flush sugar and fat storage from your system

No need to come here and be rude to these people or try to display your superiority. Let these people lose weight how they want and you can lose weight how you want. That 'fad diets fail' line is a little tired because the fact of the matter is, no matter the method of losing weight, a lot of people gain the weight back eventually, so don't act like you're superior for following one way over the other.0

17 Days of Fail Diet?
A simple rule everyone should follow is if you want to do something to lose weight and the name of it is "[insert random words] Diet", you should probably avoid it.0 -

Because a lot of people do fad diets that are hard to follow, overly restrictive and lead to bingeing.
The people giving advice on this thread have successfully lost weight, maintained or both. It would behoove people to take their advice to heart.0 -

^This. It's like the diet equivalent of the Donner Party. A lucky few might make it, but the vast majority of followers will ending getting lost in the vast wilderness of *kitten* that is out there. Just because you want to lead them doesn't mean everyone else needs to sit by idly and watch.0 -
Just a quick warning. I did this diet, lost weight. Gained it back at the end and then some. It did not help me develop good eating habits. Please consider avoiding this diet and working instead on creating a caloric deficit without gimmicks.0
