Unlike most diets, the author of the 17 Day Diet book, believes that this diet will help you lose weight rapdly without compromising on the nutritional quality of your meals, your health and vitality. He promises that when you’re on this diet, you’ll be full, energetic and motivated. He also explains that the 17 day diet is high in fibers for several reasons. Curtails food intake by stimulating release of appetite suppressing hormones. As a result you feel full. They take longer to chew and you therefore burn more calories chewing.

     The first cycle is called ACCELERATE because its purpose is to trigger rapid weight loss in a healthy manner by mobilizing fat stores and flushing water and toxins from your system. If you reach your goal after first 17 days, you can go straight to cycle 4. If not, progress to cycle 2. After you achieve your target weight. you can revisit this cycle if your weight goes out of control, . 

This cycle is expected to do the following:

1. Reduce carbohydrate intake slightly so that your body goes into fat burning mode
2. Correct improper digestion
3. Provide rapid weight at the start so that you have the incentive to keep going.
4. Get out sugar, sweets, refined carbohydrates and other substances that cause spikes and dips in blood sugar. Once you’ve broken the cycle, your body will not crave them anymore.

Some of the guidelines for this cycle include

1. Eat till you’re full. Use your hunger/fullness meter
2. Remove skin from your chicken before eating
3. You can eat egg whites without restriction. Not more than 4 egg yolks a week
4. Do not eat fruit after 2 pm
5. Buy a variety of vegetables
6. Drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day
7. Wake-up drink: squeeze a half- lemon in a  glass of water
8. Exercise at least 17 minutes a day. If possible, get in 2 quickies. Exercise boosts your metabolism for a few hours afterwards.
9. Drink green tea with every meal.

Food choices for this cycle include the following:

I. Lean proteins
