New/ trying 17 Day Diet

what do you mean by "the 17 day diet"? Is there a diet plan out there I haven't heard about or is it a personal goal of yours? Just curious, because I could always use a diet guide/inspiration. Thanks!

If it's the same "17 Day Diet" that I tried here in the UK, it was bloody hard!!

It was cutting out Carbs, Caffeine and only eating certain foods off a list. The first couple of days were an absolute killer, I couldn't get to the Gym, I just didn't have the energy to want to move. My head was all fuzzy and I could barely concentrate.

By about Day 6 the fuzzyness lifted and I started to feel like a normal human being again - but I still didn't have a major amount of energy and I was really missing my Gym time so I stopped doing this diet.

I have to be honest though and say that I am losing more weight being on here, logging my foods AND eating carbs! The only good thing is that the 17Day Diet helped me curb the Soft Drink cravings a bit, I am definitley drinking more water.
