The plan recommends 2 fats, 20 min walks, 8 glasses water, and 3 servings green tea daily - these I did not follow. By the end of this first 17 days, my energy was returning and I was resuming my workouts. My stomach had drastically shrunk.
Thanks for posting this, I have been curious about the 17 day diet. Unfortunately, it's once again a diet that doesn't work with me. I'm a vegetarian and I'm allergic to eggs.
Diet plans that say they are vegetarian friendly are not. I was on Nutrisystem a few years ago and was doing awesome, I was actually down to the weight I should be. Then they "improved their meals". Upon reading their new ingredients, every single "Vegetarian friendly food" had a base of chicken or beef broth. That, combined with the upheaval of a move from California to Indiana, my eating habits went back into the gutter.
Yesterday I flunked on eating and exercise. This stupid summer cold is kicking my rear. I spent most of the afternoon asleep on the couch. When I got up, I felt so bad, I stuck frozen pizzas in for the girls.
I'm getting my car this afternoon. Sis is gonna pick us up and then we are going to the movies and the Dunes. I think I'll drop Sis and the girls at the movies and I'll go to the veggie stand as I am seriously out of veggies and fruit. These girls can out eat me! They do love fruit and veggies though!
