How 17 Day Diet Works


17 Day Diet - The 17 Day Diet, featured on Dr. Phil and The Doctors TV show, is here just in time for the holidays and your 2011 New Years resolution to lose weight.

How the 17 Day Diet Works

According to Dr. Moreno, this diet plan works by confusing your metabolism. It does this through four cycles of altering the amounts of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats you eat every few days. Each cycle has a different goal. The four cycles are:

1. Accelerate – This cycle promotes fat burning, cleansing, and quick weight loss without storing fat.
2. Activate – This cycle resets your metabolism.
3. Achieve – This cycle teaches you good eating habits and shows you how to eat carbs the right way.
4. Arrive – This cycle combines the first three cycles.

Although it does promote quick weight loss at first it’s based on lean proteins, vegetables, fruit and eventually whole grains.
Achieve: “Good” carbohydrates are introduced into the body
Arrive: A lifestyle eating plan that combines the first 3 Cycles
