The 17 Day Diet

Everyone trying to lose weight is looking for the fastest results. In truth, losing weight extremely fast can result in the weight returning shortly after you end your diet. Many people gain the weight back after reaching their goals. Losing weight gradually is championed among many as the best way to lose weight, combined with a great diet and exercise routine. This will lead you to you goals and keep the fat off after the diet is over. Dieticians have been saying this for a long time and it’s true, but now we see the 17 Day Diet has arrived and many are not sure what to think. How can you really lose enough weight in 17 days?

The creator of the 17 Day Diet, Mike Moreno, states that his diet can be summed up in two easy words, quick effects. This diet program was designed to achieve quick results to burn fat consistently throughout. It uses an expertly designed balance of exercise and nutrition to accomplish this goal.

However, the 17 Day Diet will continue past 17 days. The diet is made up of three preliminary phases then a perpetual end that will continue once you reach your target weight loss. The very first 17 day period is called the Accelerate phase and is designed to promote quick weight loss by removing glucose from your blood, as a method of reducing body fat. The second 17 day phase is named the Activate phase. This phase is designed to confuse your body by altering the amount of calories you eat daily. It’s called metabolic confusion and the idea is that if your metabolic system is kept in a confused state, it’s never allowed to get comfortable and burns fat at a higher rate. To keep the body confused, you adjust your eating habits every 17 days.

The 17 day diet consists of a total of four steps. Lets take a look at them below:

• Accelerate Phase – During this phase of the diet your caloric intake is reduced to 1200 calories a day. It’s estimated you may lost 10-15 pounds during this phase of the diet, much of it water weight. This is the most difficult phase because of the low level of calories you are consuming.
• Activate Phase – Changes to your metabolic system are made during this phase of the diet. You are also allowed to eat a slightly higher amount of calories. The way this phase alters your eating habits confuses your metabolic system, promoting increased fat loss.
• Achieve Phase – Your will power will be seriously tested during this phase of the diet. You will teach yourself how to eat healthy and learn about how to eat carbohydrates properly without over indulging. It’s also estimated you may lose 2-3 pounds of fat during this time.
• Arrive Phase – This is the last phase of the diet and you must take everything you’ve learned and combine them all together. Eating healthy foods and combining them together. You are also allowed some treats on the weekends.

Dietictians conclude that eating a healthy diet, while losing weight gradually, is the best way to lose weight, and maintain a healthy weight. The creator of the 17 Day Diet, Dr. Moreno, disagrees with that conclusion. Through his many years working in the diet industry, Dr. Moreno has concluded that fast weight loss is possible, but you must work towards a sustainable and healthy diet along the way.
