There’s a reason this diet has become so popular and it isn’t just because Dr. Phil raves about it on his show. It also isn’t because the 17 Day Diet book was a New York Times best seller. The reason is because people all over the country have been losing over a pound a day while on the diet and they have been keeping it off even after the diet is over. This Dr Phil 17 day diet program doesn’t just give you another run of the mill diet but it helps reset the body’s metabolism so that the weight stay off.
Dr Phil only promotes this diet but it was actually created by Dr. Mike Moreno. He found that the body’s metabolism starts to slow down after 17 days of dieting and after that the weight loss can dramatically slow down or even come back. His solution to this problem involves a 4 cycle plan in which the diet is constantly changing up in order to reset the metabolism and prevent it from slowing down.
Although most of the weight loss occurs within the first 17 days of this diet there is actually much more to it than just 17 days. Each of the 4 cycles consists of 17 days. There is a simple 17 minute workout program that goes along with the first 2 cycles and then increases to 45 minutes on the 3rd cycle. It is a very simple diet and easy to follow.
The best thing about this diet is the fact that it changes often so you aren’t stuck eating just the same foods day after diet like many other diets. It can be hard to stay on a diet if there is no change. Towards the end of the diet one can even have “reward” meals on weekends to break up the diet. This way there is something to look forward to.
If you have searched through other diets and not been able to find one that works, remember that everyone’s body reacts differently to different programs. Don’t lose hope. There is a diet plan out there that you will succeed at if you have patience and persevere. The 17 Day Diet book can be found at most major book stores or online for about $12 paperback. So the cost of trying this diet is very minimal compared to many other diet plans that may cost upwards of around $100. The only thing you have to lose with this diet are those unwanted pounds!
