I can't find any threads on this diet, which surprised me after The Doctors and Dr. Phil endorsed it. It seems pretty reasonable to me, since you are only restricting grains for the first 17 day cycle, and can eat unlimited lean protein and non-starchy veggies.
Today's my Day 1. Any input or thoughts? I'm scared because my diet history is pretty lame, but I just HAVE to do something, I'm up to 246 and the carb cravings/addiction are/is out of control!

I repeated 17dd 3 times. I got good results.

I was just reading an article on it this morning. To me it looks like a modified low carb diet. Low carb has always worked for me in the past, so I am thinking of giving it a try too. I am thinking of trying it from thanksgiving through new years to help me though the holidays. If it works then I may just stick with it.

There was a long post for the 17 DD and its gone now. Its great and I love it..
