So how many of you ladies have made yet another New Year’s resolution to lose weight? I don’t know about you, but I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve vowed to lose all that excess weight…only to end up piling on even more! So for those of you who are looking to find a way to finally kick off your weight loss plan this year, the book might be just the thing for you!

Recently featured on various TV shows including Dr Phil, Dr Oz, and The Doctors, the 17 Day Diet book authored by Dr. Mike Moreno, is yet another diet book that promises to help you lose all that and keep it off. But here are 5 reasons why this one may actually work:

17 day diet

1.

The 17 day is based on what Dr Mike refers to as “Body Confusion”. The plan says that you need to vary the diet every 17 days to keep your body confused and prevent it from getting accustomed to the same diet. This keeps your metabolism guessing and operating at a good pace.

2. Four 17-Day Cycles

The Diet plan involves four cycles, Accelerate, Activate, Achieve and Arrive, each lasting 17 days. Dr. Moreno says that you can lose up to 12 pounds in the first 17 days on his diet. But to lose even more, you actually have to do two more cycles of 17-day diets followed by a fourth cycle to help you maintain your weight loss.  The first is the most challenging with more food restrictions, but by the fourth you’re allowed to introduce your favorite foods back into your diet, in moderation.

3. Eliminates boredom and plateau

Two big challenges in weight loss plans are boredom and plateau. Dr. Moreno’s 17 Day Diet eliminates both of these issues by continually varying your calorie count and the foods you eat.

4.

The magic number being 17, the diet plan also includes 17 minutes of exercise every day.

5. Sample

The 17 Day diet book also includes sample meal plans for each cycle as well as a recipe section with tasty, easy and healthy food options.

People who have tried the 17 day diet plan say that they stayed motivated throughout because they saw early results and did not feel hungry and were actually energized. Sounds too good to be true? Well, no harm in trying right? You never know…it might work wonders for you! You can buy the 17 Day Diet Book and the DVD, “The 17 Minute Workout,” for $29. Will you give it a try?
