Hi! I just started and am on day 3. I'm really liking it and have seen a 3lb loss so far.
For the people who asked, there are four 17 day cycles. On cycle one you only eat lean proteins, cleansing veggies, 2 low sugar fruits before 2pm, 2 yogurts, green tea, hot lemon water (which I skip) in the morning, and lots of water. You can also have fat free cheeses and lots of different condiments. It's working for me. It's not so bad if you're creative. Today, I kinda wanted carbs, so I just made mashed cauliflower (using fat free sour cream that's allowed) along with ground turkey breast patties cooked with onion and mushrooms. I added a little steak sauce.
The first phrase should break you from carb/sugar addictions. It'll be the hardest, but you'll also see the biggest weight loss. The book says 10-15 lbs in phase 1.
