  • Eating lean protein is good for you and should sustain you. Eat carbs in moderation and choose foods with healthy fats. Use Turkey meat instead of beef when cooking. You can still have your fulfilling protein without all the unhealthy fats and calories. Make sure you drink plenty of water and exercise. It really has made a…

  • I was never a big breakfast person before I started the 17 Day diet, and started logging my foods in MFP. I've noticed that I feel better and eat better throughout the day if I eat breakfast. I usually eat breakfast with protein so it sustains me a bit longer, and then about 9:30 will have a Yogurt of some sort to get me…

  • I love Wine too, but I have to say, I've only had 2 glasses in 18 days. =( I'm afraid to slow my progress, but I would really love to have a glass here and there. I know red wine is better for you, but I prefer Reisling. Cheers Reba971.. =)

  • Try green teas with other flavorings. I bought a green tea with blueberry & pomegranate, and its great. Plain green tea can be a bit hard to swallow. Keep up the great work everyone!!

The next cycle you get to add in more foods from these lists including lean red meat and alternate between cycles 1 and…

  • I don't have my book here, but I don't think it recommends alcohol until Cycle 3. The servings are 12 oz beer, 5 oz wine, or 1 1/2 oz of hard liquor.

  • Trejon I agree with you about needing rules to follow. The food lists make it so much easier to buy the things you need from the store and stay within those limits. I read an earlier post of yours about having headaches. You may not be getting enough protein. Try a boiled egg in the morning, that seems to stave off hunger…

  • Yes, I love the 17 day diet. It gave me the jump start I needed to start losing weight. Today is my last day of Cycle 1 and I've lost 8 lbs as of Monday 18th. I've tried so many other diets and always fall off the wagon after the first week, usually due to hunger. But with the 17 day diet, there is so much variety and…
