    The hubby does it with me as well... it's easier to follow when you have the support. Keeps you from "cheating" when you have that help. I'm on phase 2 week 2 now and the hubby lost 20 lbs already. I have lost 5 and some change... but I have been hitting the gym with weight training so I'm hoping my lack of weight loss is muscle gain:) always take a before pic so you can put a new pic side by side to see your progress... especially when your having a rough day.

    You don't gain muscle in a calorie deficit.

    Also, is this sustainable? Why not focus on moderation and staying within your calorie goals for long term success.

    Claims of the 17 Day Diet:
    • Burn fat, day in and day out.
    • Optimize your digestion and nutrition.
    • Flush toxins and unwanted fat.

    For example, Phase 1:
    Accelerate
    Cycle 1
    • Rapid weight loss cycle
    • Jumpstart your metabolism
    • Flush sugar and toxins from your body
    • Trim belly fat, thigh fat, and other stubborn fat

    LOL. Do I need to say anything else? All of this was taken from http://www.drmikediet.com/the-17-day-diet/body-breakthrough/sp/body-breakthrough.html

    Lol I started with muscle. And just kept up the same routine of strength training while making the life change in eatting. So instead of starving I just eat more veggies and lean meats. So I am doing both.. muscle gain and calorie deficit, to help loose extra body fat.

    I did the 17 day diet about a year and a half ago and lost about 45 lbs! Fell off the wagon for a bit and gained 20 back. :( But I've loosely started the diet again and so far I've lost 15 lbs of the 20 I gained back. I loved being on the 17dd :)

    People typically continue on with different phases.

    If I had chosen a food plan that was unpleasant enough that I'd need to gripe about it, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to stick to it.

    this diet is pointless and stupid. just like every diet
