Hi! Anyone still doing the 17 day diet? I started today. Looking for currently active folks and possible starting a thread for us for the new year.

I'm combining this thread with another similar thread in the Low Carb Section.

Hi Cece, Today is Day 4 for me!

Beaka, have you done this diet before? Any advice or tips about staying on track or what has helped you the most?

Me too! I just went to the grocery store yesterday and stocked up on veggies/meats/berries.

I hope this works for us.

Hi everyone, I just started the 17day diet (Day 1 today!!) and looking for advice and tips! I am looking for the support to stay with this and be able to support others and bounce back and forth ideas and recipes. Last yr I did Atkins and it worked well but was definately not a lifestyle chnage and i gained almost it all back. i hated not having fruits and yogurt and that is what interested me in the 17DD. I did have a question on excercise as the book noted 17 min of walking 2x a day. I read somehwere you shouldn't over exert yourself with excercise on this diet in stage 1 due to low calories. Is this true? I want to follow it correctly and see results and I had planned on going to the gym 5x a week and most classes are strenuous so would be a lot more than a brisk 17min walk. I need to lose 26lbs and will do ANYTHING to get there!! I get so mad at myself for putting this weight on and really need support to make this happen. Thank you to everyone and i wish you all the best!

Hi, I started this diet on 1/1 and have lost 11 pounds so far! Loving it! I have at least 30 more to go

Hi, all! Sorry I hadn't checked back on this thread. I've just finished Cycle 1. I had a couple of cheats and lost 9 lbs. It is hard the first few days, but you'll definitely see results if you stick with it.

Any other people out there doing the 17 Day Diet? Today is day 14 and down 10lbs! Very excited and love this diet so far!!

good morning! I finished cycle one a couple of days ago and feel good so far in cycle 2, I have lost almost 14 pounds since 1/1/13, but I know a lot of why I feel better is no more diet sodas! I do have an occasional unsweetened iced tea or half a cup of coffee a couple days a week, but I have cut out pretty much anything else artificial in my diet, all of the whole fresh foods are what is most appealing to me. I hope you all are doing as well too. I have a cruise in 2 weeks, so I feel like I'm going to do well until then for sure, but I am so afraid to get too far off track on my trip.
