"We've all pledged, promised and bullied ourselves to eat better
and exercise more, but so many times even the best intentions fall
short. I incorporate healthy habits into my work and home life and
you can too." -Dr. Mike Moreno
If you need to shed pounds fast and in a safe, effective, and
lasting way, this is the book for you! Unlike many diet programs
that starve you down to size, Dr. Mike Moreno's 17 Day Diet relies
on proven methods to help you take weight off and keep it off for
good-whether you've got 10 pounds to lose or 100. His revolutionary
program adjusts your body metabolically so that you burn fat day in
and day out. The program is structured around four 17 day
cycles:
Accelerate-the rapid weight loss portion that helps flush sugar
and fat storage from your system
Activate-the metabolic restart portion with alternating low and
high calorie days to help shed body fat
Achieve-this phase is about learning to control portions and
introducing new fitness routines
Arrive-a combination of the first three cycles to keep good
habits up for good. On weekends, enjoy your favorite foods!
Each cycle changes your calorie count and the food that you're
eating. The variation that Dr. Mike calls 'body confusion' keeps
your metabolism guessing; this means that you can expect big
changes in the first 17 days alone!
This is not a diet that relies on a tiny list of approved foods,
grueling exercise routines, or unrealistic calorie counts that
leave you hungry and unfulfilled. Moderation and proper portions
are key factors in the 17 Day Diet-the trick is to figure out the
foods and routines that work best with your real lifestyle. That's
why the book is filled with tips for how to avoid the usual food
pitfalls like holidays, eating out, or even just a tempting candy
jar. Along with a comprehensive explanation of how each segment
works, every phase comes with an extensive list of foods, recipes,
and sample meal plans to help make grocery shopping a breeze.
Because of the diversity that you are allowed from the very
beginning of the program, there is a way to make this diet work
with almost any food allergies you might have or what cuisine
you're used to eating.
The 17 Day Diet is a simple plan that gets big, long-lasting
results if you stick with it and let Dr. Mike help you along the
way. Whether this is your first attempt at dieting or your
fiftieth, you must believe that you can do this. What matters now
is focusing on your goals, identifying what you need to get there,
and taking action to begin the process. Your health and happiness
are important, so stand strong, believe in yourself, and let your
17 Day Diet begin now!
