17 Day Diet

Frequently Asked Questions

1. QUESTION:
   What can I eat the first 17 days of the 17 day diet?
   I really am interested in the 17 Day Diet as seen on Dr. Phil but can't afford to buy the book right now. Does anyone know what things I can eat for the first 17 days? I will try and get this book after the first of the year.

   • ANSWER:
     The 17 day diet is simply a crash diet. The first 17 days you eat NO carbs. You only eat low carb veggies, eggs, and meat and drink water. The weight simply falls off due to lack of carbs which is the main bodies source of fuel. The next 17 days you slowly add in carbs but you maintain, on this diet you will always need to be carb conscious and the first 17 days are the only days you lose any weight. So if you need to lose more that 15lbs I wouldn't recomend this diet.

2. QUESTION:
   Does anyone know anything about the 17 day diet?
   I just would like to know about how much a person will lose on the 17 day diet after completing all four cycles. I know nothing is typical and it all really depends on your beginning weight, your frame size, whether you actually do the diet correctly with out cheating.... I guess I'm just asking if anyone could provide me with about how much you could lose per cycle? Any information would be helpful!

   • ANSWER:
     I have been on the diet for 3 days and lost 3 lbs.
     My sister is just starting cycle 3 and lost 16 lbs and inches!
     once she is done with cycle 3 she will redo cycle 1,2 and 3 until she reaches her goal weight.
     I will also. I don't see any reason to cheat and I have not felt hungry as I have with other diets which
     caused me to quit them.
     The support on facebook and there is also a Yahoo group is great and I plan on living like this from now on it is easy with this to change the way you eat.

3. QUESTION:
   During the 17 Day Diet, can you use SPLENDA in the power cookie?
   I'm on the 17 Day Diet, about to start Cycle 2. Can I use SPLENDA in the power cookie instead of TRUVIA? Does it make any major difference? Thanks!

   • ANSWER:
     I have no idea what the 17 day diet is. I mean I know its a diet but that's all. I haven't checked it out.

     But in answer to your question, its like replacing bottled water with tap water.
     They both have 0 calories. So, yes, go ahead and substitute

4. QUESTION:
   How much have you lost on the first 17 days of the 17 Day Diet?
   My Doctor said that some of her patients have lost 50 pounds in 4 weeks on this diet! Im starting the diet this coming Sunday.. So im pretty excited btu tell me your thoughts about the diet!

   • ANSWER:
     In the first 17 days I lost 17 pounds. This diet works... and it really teaches you how to eat. I started this diet at 338 lbs desperate for some help. After Cycle 2, I went back to Cycle 1 because of the amount of weight I have to lose. I have been on this diet for 11 weeks and I have lost 43 pounds.... it's definitely encouraging! Good luck!

5. QUESTION:
   Does the 17 day diet work if im not overweight?
   Hi im a 20 year old female and am having trouble losing the last 5-10lbs I weigh 120lbs and im 5 feet tall. I wanna get down to lowest 105..but basically 110. I have been reading about this diet and I know I can do it..but does it work still if im not overweight? Thanks! And any tips you have please feel free to leave them!

   • ANSWER:
     Ehm, may I ask you why do you want to try this diet? Your body mass index is 23,4 which is absolutely normal. I don't get it. To answer your question, it depends on what you want to achieve. As you are not overweight, it will be hard to get down those 10-15 pounds. Requires some starving. I don't advise you to do it.

6. QUESTION:
   Anyone knows when you start loosing weight on the 17 day diet?
   Or is there a reason why this diet may not work?

   • ANSWER:
     You should start to see a loss of a few ounces per day. What might speed this along is a walking program or some other exercise program.

7. QUESTION:
   I am going to start the 17 day diet next week. Can I have protein shakes and bars on this diet?
   The bars and shakes are low carbs.

   • ANSWER:
     yes, you can use them as a meal replacement. I use a bar and a whey shake from http://www.buybulkwhey.com and it works great with eating a well balanced diet as well.

8. QUESTION:
   does the 17 day diet really work?
   im trying to lose weight and i go to the gym everyday for about 4 months now, and wieght does come off, but im at some sort of plateau where it just stops ; im starting to switch up my workouts to help that, but i was thinking about trying the 17 day diet b/c ive seen it on dr phil and the doctors.. can someone please tell me if it really works from their own experience or refrences? thanks!

   • ANSWER:
     The 17 Day Diet WORKS! It is amazing and I am positive you would be pleased with the results from the diet. I started the diet, desperate for some help, at 338 lbs and in the first cycle (17 days), I lost 17 lbs. I have been on the diet for 11 weeks and I've lost a total of 43 pounds. And you know... it's not that hard! I am never hungry either... good luck

9. QUESTION:
   Do you know anything about the 17 day diet, or others diets designed to work in short, fast cycles?
   ..like links to them so one doesnt have to buy the books?
   hmm, I can tell mostly this will be answered with bogus spam links, so maybe skip the link and just tell what you know.

   • ANSWER:
     I started the 17-Day Diet on Monday morning... I've lost 5 lbs since. It's not a crash diet or a fad diet... it's a lifestyle change. The results are definitely fast but for the results to be long-lasting, you won't ever be able to return to "normal" eating habits, which for me, included a lot of starchy, sugary, fatty foods.

     As a side note - there are other perks to the diet - I'm already sleeping better and experiencing less pain in my knees and back!

10. QUESTION:
    Where can i download the 17 day diet ebook?
    I've searched everywhere, legitimate sources and torrents. The only ones I could find to buy it from wouldn't accept my card type, and the other wouldn't sell outside of USA.

    Also I'm finding a few cash links, which are annoying because 9 times out of 10 they don't work or the file is corrupt.

    • ANSWER:
      Fad diets, starvation diets, fasting, gimmicky weight loss devices, and diet pills do not work. Any diet that is temporary will only produce results that are temporary at best.

      Losing fat any faster than about 4 lbs a week is impossible. Any additional weight you might lose would either be water weight, or your muscle atrophying.

      The only way to lose fat is a complete lifestyle change where you stop doing what made you obese in the first place and adopt healthy eating and exercise habits for the rest of your life.

11. QUESTION:
    Anyone have success with the 17 Day Diet?
    I had a baby 4 months ago and am trying very hard to lose the pregnancy weight. I have read wonderful things about the 17 Day Diet & am seriously considering purchasing the book and doing it. It is all about clean healthy eating, so it looks like it will be a good one to try.

    Anyone else try it with or without success??

    • ANSWER:

12. QUESTION:
    Does the 17 day diet actually work?
    I've been thinking about trying it, but I have no idea if I should. Has anyone had an experience with this diet? and if you have did you see any results?

    • ANSWER:
      Yes, the 17 Day Diet is amazing! I started the diet at 338 lbs ( a lot to lose...) and in the first 17 day Cycle, I lost 17 lbs. I have been on the diet for 11 weeks now and have lost a total of 43 lbs. It's not that hard, it takes time to get used to... but if I can do it, anyone can! Good Luck

13. QUESTION:
    What is the 17 day diet? Does it work?
    I just heard about this 17 day diet and was wondering if it has worked for anyone? Do I have to buy the book or is the diet posted somewhere? I really don't want to spend the money on something that may not work. Thanks

    • ANSWER:
      SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM!!!!, all it teaches you is to eat more fruits and veggies, drink more water and cut out the carbs. and portion control, you can easily do that your self with out the book.

14. QUESTION:
    I was wondering if anyone has bought the new 17 Day Diet that was shown on Dr. Phil a few weeks ago?
    I'm considering buying it, but I've spent so much money on diet books I'd like to get some information on it first. I was wondering if it has a lot of hard to find foods listed in it, and also if it has recipes. And, of course, if it has worked for anyone? Thanks in advance.

    • ANSWER:
      Mazey,

      I get such a kick out of the names of the diets. What happens on day 18? Do you go back to how you ate before? Losing weight is a life style change. No magic diets or pills, no fairy godmother to anoint you with a new body. And, here's the hard part... it takes... wait for it... work. We've not been taught good healthy eating habit so consequently we're mostly fat and without a solution.

      There are a couple of things you can do.

      Firstly, eat a balanced diet for your individual metabolism type, the right proportions of proteins, fats and complex carbs. You can find out about your type for free at several sites on the Internet or you can type in Google "easydietforlife diet-assessment" without the quote marks to get to a good one.

      I would suggest being active rather than exercising. Walk for 30 minutes, swim, ride a bike, that sort of thing. You could even check out burst training, it's real quick and very effective.

      If you want to learn how your body functions so you can eat properly for the rest of your life read the ebook “GOING FAT2Lean.”

      You will get how our bodies function, just how Mother Nature intended us to feed them.

      What you can do immediately is the following:
      *Stop drinking all sodas
      *Drink half your weight in ounces of water daily
      *Stay away from all "white" foods (they are simple carbs that turn into glucose easily) - bread, pasta, white rice, white potatoes.
      *Eat three meals a day and 3 snacks a day.
      *Don't eat anything 3 hours before going to sleep.
      *Don't eat any fast food
      *Shop around the perimeter of your market. Stay away from packaged foods.
      *Take a good multi-vitamin, omega-3, CoQ10, and a good antioxidant every day.
      *Do not count calories. It's a myth. The body counts nutrition.

      Keep us posted!

      Good luck,

      RICK

15. QUESTION:
    Is the 17 day diet okay if your breast feeding?
    is there a section for breastfeeding moms? anybody try it?

    • ANSWER:
      Honey, breastfeeding IS a diet!!! You'll have plenty of time to shed weight after you stop breastfeeding. If weight is a big issue for you, make sure you get regularly, stay well hydrated, and get plenty of rest. The demands of breastfeeding are gonna work your body, even when you're sitting still!!! A walk everyday won't hurt, plus it'll keep you from feeling overwhelmed with the demand.

    • ANSWER:
      The best place I found for questions about the 17 Day Diet is Terri Sinclair's Blog/Facebook page-- she has amazing support for the 17 Day Diet and there are rumors that she'll be expanding to other diets as well-- but I can't guarantee that.

      THERE'S EVEN A RECIPE FOR PIZZA ON HER SITE THAT FITS THE DIET!!

      Here's a link to her pages:

17. QUESTION:
    What does the 17 day diet ask you to do?
    I don't care if it works or not, I just want to know what it is.

    • ANSWER:
      i heard that it is a belly fat losing diet my aunt did it and lost 22 pounds in a month... it mostly just tells you what you can eat then what you cant it has like 3 phases and the first phase is like chicken eggs fruit and like no carbs then it keep adding as you go through the phases... i is a fat losing diet.

18. QUESTION:
    is the 17 day diet okay if your breast feeding?
    or does the book have a section for if your breastfeeding? i want to try it, but i dont want to waste money on the book if i cant do it for another year or so.

    • ANSWER:
      You should not diet when breastfeeding as it’s hard enough to eat a lot while looking at your thigh fat melt like snow in the sun.

      Do not waste money on any book. Request any book from your library and they’ll have to order it (that’s your taxes dollars at work) then you can borrow the book for free for about 2 weeks or give it back and borrow it again or pay 10 cents a day for more time to have it or just buy it if you want to have it for good.

19. QUESTION:
    17 day diet book, does it work?
    Hey, so my sister and I are deciding if we should try the 17 day diet book that is often recommended by Dr. Phil. Has anyone ever tried or bought this book? If so, does it work? I want to lose around 10-15 pounds and I was hoping this book would help. Also a little side question:
    I'm severely addicted to ice cream , so would it be better or worse to subsitute ice cream for diet coke? It would help me get off of this addiction without adding the calories. Thanks

    • ANSWER:
      Thank you experts! Randy and I, both, tried The 17 Day Diet and couldn’t agree more. Truly, the above medical advice is the base line we follow for our good health. Oh, we have tried a few diet trends. But in the end we always agree, “Let’s just stick to eating healthy and exercising.”
      Randy and I may agree with the experts, but that’s not to say that The 17 Day Diet is a flop. We did learn some new and valuable information we’ve added to our eating habits (probiotic yogurt is awesome for you, but that’s another blog). Let me tell you a little about this diet and our experience on it…
      The 17 Day Diet is Doctor Michael Moreno’s strategy for rapid weight loss. It’s based on 3 cycles, each lasting 17 days, plus a 4th long-term maintenance cycle. Moreno claims whether it’s 10 pounds or 100 pounds, this plan can help you lose weight quickly, avoid the dreaded plateaus, and revamp your metabolism.
      Cycle 1 is what Dr. Moreno calls the “accelerate cycle”: includes eating lots of lean protein, cleansing vegetables such as broccoli and cabbage, and low-sugar fruits such as berries and apples (no fruit after 2pm), healthy fats (olive oil, flaxseed oil), low-fat yogurt, water and green tea.
      It prohibits many foods including most fast foods, fried foods, processed foods, starchy carbohydrates such as bagels, pasta, crackers and white bread, and fruits such as pineapple and bananas.
      Moreno writes, “Most people can expect to lose 10 to 15 pounds during the first 17 days.” And I do think this is true for the most part, if those people have the will power to follow cycle 1 to the tee.
      Randy and I started out on cycle 1 “ok,” but truthfully, we gave up after day 4. The menu was too restrictive. Both of us were physically tired and drained of energy. This was terrible, considering we have 2 little kids and a baby to keep up with. We were moody, even a little shaky sometimes (I think from low blood sugar). This had to be the result of lacking in calories and cutting too many healthy varieties of foods. It was obvious that this cycle wasn’t balanced nutritionally for us, and as a result, we caved.
      Those 4 days were not without some success though. We did lose weight. I lost 4 pounds and Randy lost 2 1/2. But, 4 pounds in 4 days? That’s a pound a day and to what expense!?!
      Needless to say, Randy and I did not move onto to experience the next 3 cycles. Kathleen M Zelman, MPH, RD, LD, an expert at WebMD, offers a detailed explanation of these cycles, how they work, and how to eat while following them, please see WebMD. I found her review to be very informative and on spot when describing the book.
      Please check out the link provide above, read more information about the book, and decide for yourself if this diet is right for you. With some preparation and serious dedication, it really could help you lose weight quickly. I will give Dr. Moreno credit for addressing such willpower and other issues like emotional eating, portion control, and identifying food triggers.
      All in all, Randy and I do think if you are determined to lose weight fast and are mentally prepared for the rules of The 17 Day Diet accompanied with lots of support, you can lose weight and fast! For some of you, Dr. Moreno’s plan may fit. I cannot say we didn’t lose weight, and in all fairness, Randy and I did not see it through to the last cycle. Considering our 4 day experience, though, even with the success of losing weight, we still agree, “Let’s just stick to eating healthy and exercising.

20. QUESTION:
    how much weight can you lose on the 17 day diet?
    I was just wondering how much weight do people usually lose the first 17 days of the diet because i really need to lose weight and i was curipus on how long it might take me to lose the amount i need to lose

    • ANSWER:
      I started the diet this week and love it! I've lost 5 lbs in 2 days! I know that won't be my normal rate of weight loss but it's promising and keeps me motivated... It's a commitment though. If you're not committed to it, it won't work.

21. QUESTION:

    • ANSWER:
      I have four children and I know how hard it is to lose weight. After the birth of my fourth child I nursed her for 12 months. So this means 12 months of sitting on the couch and eatting. I am 5.4 and I got up to 215. I am still in my 20's and couldnt walk upstairs without having to stop halfway to take a breather. Well that was 2 years ago and I am now 132 lbs. Although it is not super skinny I did it by walking for an hour every morning with arm and leg weights on. I also joined weight watchers. This is the best program. Unlike the dr phil 17 day thing this teaches you how to eat right. It will help you maintain your weight loss. Good Luck. "You can do anything you set your mind to"

    • ANSWER:
      I lost 4kg in 17 days by going to the gym every morning for 1-2 hours (burning around 300-400 calories) but I still ate what I wanted. It wasn't a plan or anything, its called exercise. It feels great.

      Depends on the Barbeque sauce and how much you use.

      Is the chicken all you'll eat?

      You need to add veggies and other protien, just eating chicken isn't the best.

      You need fruits and veggies.

28. QUESTION:
    What am I doing wrong on the 17 day diet?
    I have been on the 17 diet now about 14 days. I am very proud to say that i have stayed on this diet and followed the plan exactly layed out in the book. The first week i had huge success! Inone week i lost 10 pounds, so natually i was feeling pretty good about the diet. Finally i had found a diet that worked for me. Now i am on week 2 and nothing. I still follow the diet exactly layed out. I work out 45 minutes a day. I have not lost 1 pound more. I know that 10 pounds is huge, but i thought i would continue to lose by following the diet.I am about 3 days away from starting 2 cycle. I was hopign i could find some other people on this diet. I have looked all over the internet for forums or QnA's on this diet and have come up empty handed. Hopefully someone reading this can answer a few questions. First question, is it normal to lose that much and then nothing?? Will i start seeing more weight loss in the 2nd cycle? Also i am concerned because i have not had a bowel movemnet in 4 days. I ahve got a lot of feedback blaming this on the green tea. Has anyone else experienced this? I want to continue on this diet and i will finish it out for the 4 cycles. My goal was was to lose 50 pounds. Starting off at 10 pounds loss it great, but to go a whole week with out losing anything has me discouraged! Any feedback from anyone? Anyone else experience these frustrations on this diet? Is it normal to lose a lot of weight and then nothing? Any advice would be welcome! I want to stay on this diet and lose the 50 pounds. Still i am discouraged since I have went a whole week of staying at the same weight no matter what i do. Please help. ANY FEEDBACK!!!

    • ANSWER:
      Question: "What am I doing wrong on the 17 day diet?"
      Answer: DIET
      Healthy eating for the rest of your life with maybe (!) occasional "treats" may help + regular exercise.
      Sorry, but that's the only way to lose weight and keep it that way.

29. QUESTION:
    anyone ever tried the 17 day diet??? did it work?
    so i heard about the 17 day diet where you reduce your carb intake, and basically live off eggs and veg.
    anyone tried it?? did it work?? is it dangerous??

    • ANSWER:
      I haven't done it. I have heard about it but don't actually know too much about what's involved other than it's low carb.

      I think you will find this link helpful, people on a forum are talking about it there's a few pages, some people are doing the diet others not, there's a varity of opinions on it (the first few replies to the op could be ignored)

30. QUESTION:
    I am on the 17 day diet by Dr. Moreno. Can someone tell me if I can have shirataki noodles on the first cycle?
    Can one eat fat free dressing on salads and have tofu? thank you all?

    • ANSWER:
      I don't think you should...during the first cycle you should abstain from starch products to get best results...however, shirakaki is low in carbs so it is probably the best option if you are really really craving noodles. But if possible, I would wait until the second or third cycle since this cycle is specifically for cleansing which requires proteins and pro-biotic foods mainly.

      And yes I believe you are allowed tofu; as for the fat-free dressings - I would avoid because they still have a decent amount of sugar/salt...opt for balsamic vinegars/dressing instead?

      Best of luck!!

31. QUESTION:
    Should i try the 17 day diet?!?

    • ANSWER:
      I used the workouts around 3-5 times a week and managed to lose 20 lbs just by eating simple recipes like chicken breasts cooked on the stove, cut up and put in a wheat soft shell fajita with spinach and taco sauce. Delicious.

34. QUESTION:
    has anyone tried the 17 day diet?
    I am thinking of trying this diet has anyone had any success with it? Is it hard to stay on?

    • ANSWER:
      I think any diet that makes you "eliminate" food you like is going to fail. What seems to succeed is eating reasonably healthy, but also eating what you love, but all in smaller amounts. If you currently eat a plateful of food at each meal, eat 2/3s of a plateful instead. You will absolutely lose weight, and you will be able to sustain it forever because you are still eating what you like. Any diet that tells you can't eat certain foods is doomed to failure because human nature is to want those "forbidden" foods. The Twinkie diet shows clearly that calories are what count, not what you eat. What you eat affects your health, of course. But calories, in any form, are what affect how much you weigh. Eat whatever you want, in smaller portions, and you will lose weight. (P.S. Exercise also has little effect on weight - you can lose a few pounds through exercise, but not much. Exercise also is for health, and looks, not really for weight loss.)

    I was just wondering if anybody has tried the 17 day diet, and also what can you eat on it, and how does it work. They have a website, but they do not post anything about the diet online.

    • ANSWER:
      I saw "The Doctors" today and they were talking about it. You basically eat all the veggies you want, 5 servings of fruit, lean meats-grilled chicken, turkey, low fat ice cream, 1 square of dark chocolate, and boiled eggs. Basically, eat whatever you want (other than junk food) but in moderation. Good Luck =)

37. QUESTION:
    Anyone try the 17 day diet?
    I'm considering buying the 17 Day Diet book and trying it out - I'd like to hear anything about it. Thank you.

    • ANSWER:
      This diet is not a fad quick diet. If you look into it you'll notice it goes for as long as it takes to lose the weight by repeating the first 3 cycles. Once you are at the weight you want you go to the fourth cycle which basically teaches you portion control. I love it, I started 2 days ago and the lunches arent that great but both dinners ive had are awesome. The book is an easy read an I lost 2 lbs in the first day. There is a lot of green tea and water though, and the first cycle is very strict, but it is worth it. Not only do you lose weight but you feel better. In 2 days I wake up feeling refreshed instead of groggy and bloated. And it def doesn't leave you hungry at all! your plenty full. I highly recommend it

38. QUESTION:
    17 day diet book and cd?
    What exactly is the 17 day diet based on? Low carbs? Small portions?

    I just want a little background on it - since I would like to try it. It was featured on Dr.Phil and The Doctors.

    • ANSWER:
      Sorry hun I didn't see that but I know that Zumba does a 10 day work out and diet plan as part of their online shop. Its really good exercise alone and I mixed it with a different diet.

      just be careful on fast track diets as they can make you lose loads but if your not exercising you will gain it quickly again after the diet has stopped. And they should only be done for the length of time stated and not longer.

49. QUESTION:
    17 day diet and slimfast products? and excercize question?
    I've been kinda hungry and craving anything with sugar while on this diet (5th day today), wondered if i can have a slim fast shake in sub. of a meal possibly followed with some veggies? or maybe a slim fast bar for energy right before volleyball practice? (I'm 16)

    Also a 17 day diet excercize related question: on the diet it says at least 17 minutes of excersize per day. Do you think this is enough excersize: Monday i have volleyball practice from 6pm-8pm (which usually includes heavy conditioning, its club v-ball). i also have vball thursday nights from 6-8.Tuesday-Friday I work at a pizza restaraunt from 11:30amish- 2:30pm ish (wed. i start at 9:30am) and I'm on my feet all day sometimes running to answer phones and such. But saturday is my lazy day i usually don't do much, and sunday i have church. So i guessmy question is do i get enough excersize daily from being active at work, or do I need to like run or do additional excersize on non-vball days. I might be stupid for asking this but: since i work out for 2 hours straight 2x a week intensely, does that make me active- semi active, will my normal weekly routine help me lose weight? (sorry for this intense rambling paragraph, blame a.d.d )

    • ANSWER:
      slimfast doesnt work. the second you stop using it you will gain all the weight back... =

      but your exercise routine appears to be enough work. try to walk more during the day too that could help

50. QUESTION:
    17 Day Diet vs. P90X?
    so i made a bet with my friend about who could get more ripped. I'm 14, 5"6, 152 lbs. he's doing P90X and i'm doing the 17 day diet, but i'm also doing 48 hours football workouts + 15 2 a days. Who will probably win and what can i do to help myself?
    and im a D-Lineman so i'll be doing a whole lot of weight lifting plus a fair amount of conditioning

    • ANSWER:
      As a defensive lineman your caoch is gonna want you to be big and bulky.P90X will make you small and sleek so while you are definately going to have more muscle than him his muscles will show better(a skinny man with a little bit of muscle will have six pack abs and cuts showing every individual muscle.A 250 pound line baker that benches 470 pounds will still have a flaby stomach and arms that are big and firm but looks the same as a fat man arms.If you want to win the bet you should change it to who will be stronger.Challenge him to bench press or arm wrestle.But dont challenge him to a push up contest cause im prety sure i see them do it with one arm and sometimes with their feet in the air in the video.Good luck!
