in Health and Weight Loss
Hi everyone! Is there anyone who's on the 17 day diet and seeing results? I'm on day 4 cycle 1 with no cheating and have only lost .8 pounds. I have a pituitary Tumour so I'm wondering if that's in the way of seeing results? *PLEASE REFRAIN FROM RESPONDING IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THE BOOK* I AM NOT IN THE MOOD FOR AN ARGUMENT :)

    Food for thought:

    What happens after day 17?
    Is this diet teaching you a healthy sustainable way to eat that you will be able to sick to once you hit your goal weight? If not, than it's extremely likely that you will regain any weight lost

    No, I haven't read the book. I'm not going to argue with you. Just giving you some things to consider.

    You can't measure weight loss results from day to day like that. Weight fluctuates a lot short term. True weight loss is a slow process - you can expect to lose up to 1% of yor body weight per week, but you won't necessarily see it as a drop on the scale every week.

    Have you spoken to your doctor since you have a medical condition. I dont think people on the internet are qualified to help your situation.

    I'd be inclined to agree with this, too. The other thing, though, is that it's only been 4 days. As with any diet, patience is key.

    Yes i have! And they told me to continue with a healthy diet which is what I am doing and I'm just reaching out to the web to see if anyone else is on the same boat :)@4legsRbetterthan2

    Hi thank you for your input it's 4 cycles of 17 days the last cycle teaches you how to maintain your weight loss. I was curious to see if anyone was currently on it. And I found the book to be so helpful in terms of education and what we put in to our bodies. :)@shadow2soul

    Thank you so much for that! I needed to hear that!

    4 days is not nearly enough time to gather reliable data. When was your last *kitten*? That could make a big difference. I guess if you only have 17 days I can see why Day 4 is making you anxious. How much weight have you got to lose?

    Ok, then as already mentioned you probably just need to wait some. I never see changes on the scale for 2 weeks after changing my diet. I just dont get the pleasure of the amazing starter drops alot of other people do.

    My life stinks :(:wink:

    What if you haven't lost the weight you're aiming for after 68 days? (I'm two years in and still not at goal).

    If you haven't reached your goal weight, they recommend that you do the cycle all over again until you do.

    Sounds no different from the 15 or 16 day diet.

    You started 4 days ago and have almost lost a pound? What's the problem?

    Fad diet leads to unrealistic expectations?

    OP, you should really only be expecting to lose 1-2 lbs per week. Lots of fad diets and commercial workout programs advertise by saying "you can lose up to 7 lbs per week!" or some such nonsense, but unless you are very obese, anything more than 1-2 lbs per week is probably just a water weight fluctuation. And no matter what random diet you follow, weight loss isn't linear, and depends on how many calories you eat, not on which diet you follow.

    The best thing you can learn is patience. If you give up whenever you don't see rapid weight loss, you will never reach your goal. Take care of yourself and good luck :drinker:

    I'd skip to the end of the book and read about how to maintain your weight loss. If it's a way of eating that's sustainable for you then great.

    Most experts agree that to maintain your loss you should eat pretty much how you ate to lose. So finding a sustainable diet is far more important than finding quick weight loss, at least for me.

    Yes, but the same fad concept just a few days difference.

    Op- another thread does exist about someone on this program I think she mentioned "peeps" in her post.
