Hi. Not sure if you stuck with the 17 day diet for the length of 3 cycles. When I followed it couple years ago, I had the lightheadness a day or so, headaches for first 6-7 days, then I was fine. Prior I had regular pop, chocolate, and lots of other carbs so it took a few days to get over the need for them. Hope all worked…

For me, weight is partly a problem, but likely as indirect. When I lost weight in 2011, I was able to move more and then with that the stiffness lessened. Consequently, I had fewer issues and able to complete more each day. There are fewer days where I am down and out mostly. I have been lucky, I still can work and do…

I would like to see at least something posted on website and a brochure at locations of restuarants that are not really a chain. Some places have a list or an icon near an item that indicates it is less than X calories. I use calorie guides at places when they are available.

I have non fat yogurt and sugar free (smuckers is my brand) jam for flavor, with truvia when I am cutting the carbs. One serving of 6 oz with 2 tbls of jam is about 100 cal. But having it in am, I can see that it would be too much. I have had fruit. Sometimes I would have lowfat string cheese (I prefer the fit n active…

I have considered WW from time to time, but I think I will stick with MFP due to comments. I have looked at the biggest loser site that can cost money depending on what you want from it. Anyone have experience with that one?

I have never been in your situation, and I do not envy you. Do you have a hobby or interest that you have been meaning to try? Maybe it will be mentally stimulating and make you forget to eat. Would your doctor allow any kind of stretching or arm chair exercising? Not the same, but something is better than nothing. Good…

Oops my reply got into the quote box. Sorry.

I do not like the taste of asparteme. Splenda is okay, stevia ( prefer Truvia taste the best) seems to taste more like sugar to me. I tend to eat/drink only if I like the taste of things. I can not stand the taste of diet pop. There have been studies (per an article I read one time) that asparteme is not good for you and…

I would not be able to say no very well either. My strategy if there are several things that I must have, I take about a tablespoon's worth. Enough for a taste. Try another trick--for every high cal thing (small portion), drink about 8 ounces (1 cup) of water . Maybe the water will fill you up and also start early flushing…

Hi. I did the 17 day diet starting Feb 2011. I went through 2 rounds of cycle 1-3 from Feb to June 2011. I lost from 174 to 136. Most of it was lost in 1st round. Then I ate close to cycle 3 and 4 most of the time mid summer until holidays 2011. I did gain and lose about 8 or so at that point to present. I went on a new…

Hi. I went through 2 rounds of cycle 1-3 a year ago Feb. I lost from 174 to 136. Most of it was lost in 1st round. Then I ate close to cycle 3 and 4 most of the time mid summer until holidays 2011. I did gain and lose about 8 or so at that point to present. I went on a new round 17 days ago and lost almost 5 lbs. I will…

I have a hard time reaching 1200 at times with the 1st part of the diet plan I use (17 day diet) But I do eat a lot of lower carb veggies (at least 40% of intake), low sugar fruits, lots of lean protein (about 30%), and some probiotics. Gradually I add whole grains. A lot of these take longer to digest than processed foods…
