17 DAY DIET USER REVIEWS

This is the greatest diet there has been and it does WORK if you eat what he tells you to eat and don't cheat. Healthwise, it makes you feel so much better and it is because of what you are putting in your mouth. - Carol 8/15/11

This diet is nutritionally sound and includes eating mostly whole foods, lean protein and probiotics. I feel great and lost 7 pounds in the first week! - Lori 8/8/11

This is definitely the best diet. It's really not a diet, its a lifestyle. This is the stuff we should be eating anyways. I love it. I feel so much healthier on the inside if that makes sense!! - Colleent2

DIET and NUTRITION

Dr. Moreno's The 17 Day Diet is a cycled eating plan that alters the amounts of carbohydrates, proteins and fats you eat every few days. Divided across four phases, each is designed to accomplish a different objective: burning fat, resetting the metabolism and teaching you proper portion control and hunger signs.

This clean eating plan avoids sugar, processed foods, fried foods and other heavy dishes, but it does teach your body to crave and nourish itself through healthy eats like turkey and asparagus spears and other cleansing vegetables.

Dr. Moreno also shares tips to avoid holiday weight gain: He encourages you to pre-diet, which means to eat a healthy dinner before you attend holiday parties or other festive occasions that are food-focused. And when you're at the party, choose only two to three of the healthiest appetizers. You're also encouraged to stay away from the buffet table and say no to festive desserts and candy.

Some of the meal plans look like this:

Cycle 1:

* scrambled egg whites with grapefruit and green tea
* large green salad with tuna and balsamic vinegar and olive oil, with green tea
* grilled chicken with steamed or raw vegetables, with green tea

Cycle 2:

*

Dr. Mike's Power Cookie, fresh peach, and green tea
*

chicken salad, brown rice, sugar-free fruit-flavored yogurt
*

grilled salmon with steamed vegetables

Cycle 3:

* whole wheat toast, hard-boiled egg, grapefruit, green tea
* grilled chicken caesar salad, whole wheat toast, fresh fruit, green tea
* roasted pork tenderloin, mixed salad, green tea

Cycle 4:

* scrambled eggs, grapefruit, green tea
* grilled salmon on lettuce bed, green tea
* ribeye steak, caesar salad, baked sweet potato, two glasses red wine

Are there any restrictions or guidelines for what foods to eat, caloric intake, etc?

So, does this diet require you to eat the same thing for 17 day phases x 4? I am on the HCG diet and the food is BORING!! I am doing the 21 day round and ducking out! I, too, will now spend the next 3 weeks resetting my body to accept starches and sugars by not eating them....NOT FUN.... and then spend 3 weeks after that testing different sugars and starches just to make sure they agree with me and me not gain.... but, I started this and I plan to finish it to the end. This diet looks a lot like what I am doing, without the drops. The food is pretty plain, because I really didn't apply myself or take any type of initiative in cooking flavorful foods, but ... all the same, the same foods everyday gets really difficult. Well, it is for me, anyway. But, coming from a pro HCG'ER , I say that if you want to do it... go for it because the final decision comes down to .... YOU . I know what it is like being stuck at 1 # for 2 solid weeks even though I pounded out hour after hour every week on the treadmill. You have to do what you feel is right for your body and for you. Good luck to you!
