Anonymous asked: How have you lost this much weight? I've been looking into the 17-day diet recently. It doesn't seem like a crash diet because it's all about whole foods and lowering sugar/bad carbs. I'm 5'3" and 165 or so. I really need to lose 40 or 50 pounds... I feel so unhealthy and I'm desperate to escape sugar addiction in a healthy way. Thank you!

Answer:

I’ve lost it all by following the 17 Day Diet.
And that’s exactly correct! The 17DD doesn’t starve you, it just cuts out all the bad stuff and taking you back to the basics.
With each cycle, you re-introduce foods back into your body. [Complex carbs, etc.]
It’s surprisingly easy to do because it still gives you TONS of food choices.
For sugar, you get sugar through yummy fruits. Also, fake sugar. [The book reccomends Truvia] One of my favorite recipes is a sliced up apple, cinnamon and Truvia. Just pop it in the microwave for a minute. YUM.
I would definitely buy the 17DD book if I was you, it has been the best choice of my life.
And, hun….
GOOD FOR YOU! Realizing that you want to be serious about losing weight and going out there and doing it is the best step that you can take!
YOU GOT THIS. And as Dr. Moreno says….”Just give it 17 days”. The results you see will push you to keep going!
