How to Lose Weight Fast | The 17 Day Diet
I just lost 15.2 lbs in 17 days. Yes, I ate food. A lot of it in fact. Yes, it is healthy. I decided I would take a break from my normal posting to talk to you about my story because I thought some of you might be interested in learning more and maybe trying it out for yourself. Let me tell you all about this program designed by a Dr to help you know how to lose weight fast.
***** I feel like I should mention here that I am in NO WAY being compensated for this post. I purchased this book because of a recommendation from my aunt. Since it worked for me I thought you might be interested in it as well.
Let’s start with a quick back story. Between the time that I miscarried at the end of August and December 29th, my hormones went crazy. I gained 12 lbs in that time and my emotions were like a roller coaster. I wasn’t been able to get pregnant again and I was feeling poorly about the way that I looked and felt. I decided that I needed a change.
December 30th, I began the 17 Day Diet. It is a very easy to follow and straight forward plan that helps you to reboot your metabolism to burn food and fat in a way that will help you lose weight. Reading through the book, it almost sounded too good to be true! In the book it explains how everything works and why it works, and it also mentions that people will typically see a weight loss of 7-10 lbs in the first 17 day cycle. Armed with my new information and my fridge stocked with fresh food, I was ready to begin.
The first 3 days I had headaches. I could tell that my body had been addicted to sugar and I was going through withdrawals. I was determined to keep going though. I needed a change. So badly I needed to change. I pushed through and by day 4 I was feeling clear headed and more energy. At this point, I had lost 5 lbs! It was working! I was motivated and excited to see what the next 13 days had in store for me.
Everyday when I woke up, I would weigh myself to see the progress. By the end of the first week, I had lost 9 lbs. By the end of the second week, I had lost 11.5, and by the end of the 17 days I was down 15.2 lbs total.
I can’t even tell you what a difference it has made in my life. I feel better about myself and the way I look. I fit better in my clothes. My hormones are much better balanced, and I just feel good about the way things are going.
For comparison’s sake, here are some photos for you to see the difference. The first picture was taken on January 2nd, just two days after starting the 17 day diet. The second picture was taken on day 16.
I still have another 15 lbs to lose to get down to my ideal weight, but I am confident that I will get there. The 17 Day Diet has four cycles and I am starting cycle two today. I am determined to get to where I should be and following this plan is working for me. I will check in with you again in 17 days to let you know how things are going, and I might have a giveaway to help you reach your goals as well in the next week that I think you will like. If you are interested in learning more about the 17 Day Diet, you can buy the book on Amazon for $17 which in my opinion is totally worth it.
If you have any questions about anything, please let me know. I am more than happy to help and share the information I have learned. I will be sharing bits and pieces of the next 17 day cycle over on Instagram if you would like to follow along more closely.
It sounds like I would like to try this…..
What does the diet consist of? No sugar? Like a low carb diet?
The diet basically consists of unlimited amounts of lean proteins and veggies (non starchy), 2 servings of fruit, a probiotic like greek yogurt and lots of water. They have a list of food that you can and can’t eat in the book and it is very straight forward. Hope that helps!
Awesome! Maybe I should pick this up since I head to Hawaii in two weeks! 🙂 You look great!
Lucky! I wish I was heading to Hawaii! It might be a little tricky since you are supposed to follow it for 17 days, but you could try it out for 2 weeks and see what it can do for you. You already look great, so maybe it would just help you feel better about the way you look (which is always worth it.) Let me know if you decide to give it a try! I would love to hear how it works for you!
I am intrigued! I was about to start WW again b/c I have almost 60 pounds to lose. 🙁 🙁 🙁 It has worked for me in the past, but not this FAST! Maybe this could jump start me before my SIL’s wedding. However, I am terrified about those headaches! I get BAD headaches already, and frequently. Not sure if I could handle more on top of it…. :/
It is definitely worth trying! Who knows, maybe it is something you are eating that triggers the headaches currently? The headaches went away after 3 days when my body was used to eating well. I am sorry that you get headaches already! They are the worst. My mom and sisters get them a lot as well, so I can totally sympathize with you. They can be debilitating. Good luck, and keep me posted if you do decide to give it a try!
That’s awesome Jonie! You’re always gorgeous. I think I need to try this. Thanks for the info.
You are so sweet Leanne. Thank you! This would work for you because it is totally gluten free!
I’m like Lindsay, do you totally give up sugar, or just some? What exactly do you have to give up?
