Seventeen Day Diet Review

this diet

When it first aired on popular television shows in November of 2010, the seventeen day diet quickly gained popularity and that made it one of the most popular diets in 2011. To this day, this plan still continues to gain attention amongst weight loss goers. The review you’ll find here reveals things you may/may not have known about this diet.

If you want to know how this diet works, here is the quick explanation: Metabolic confusion, a dieting trick that makes your body raise it’s metabolism levels and increase fat burning. This is the real secret to the seventeen day diet. Metabolic confusion is achieved through changing how you eat every certain period. But how does that happen with this diet?

Simple: For 4 periods, every 17 days, you’ll change how you eat. In other words, for 17 days, you eat a specific meal plan, according to the seventeen day diet. Then after 17 days, you switch to a new meal plan and do that for another 17 days. This continues until you have done this 4 consecutive times.

Though most people think this diet is 17 days long, the truth is it’s actually 68 days long. There are 4 cycles to this diet, each 17 days as mentioned earlier and the reason being is that based on the theory of this diet, every 17 days, your body resets it’s metabolism and if you change from one meal plan to another every 17 days, you’ll confuse it, thus causing metabolic confusion to occur, and in turn weight loss.

Now this doesn’t mean that once every 17 days you’ll lose weight, that’s just not true. You will lose weight while being on a cycle and although weight loss results vary, the biggest weight loss results occur when you change to a new meal and make metabolic confusion occur.

Most people are familiar with the Master Diet Cleanse and might be wondering if this lemonade should be used for quick weight loss. The Master Diet Cleanse originated in 1941 when alternative medicine proponent Stanley Burroughs created the plan to cleanse and eliminate toxins from the body. Since then, people have been using the cleanse for not only it’s detoxifying benefits but also for quick weight loss. Some celebrities have even used forms of the diet including Beyonce, Liv Tyler and Kym Johnson from Dancing With The Stars.

But celebrities are always doing crazy diets for the red carpet and to be ready for the spotlight. Is this diet something that the average person can do too? Maybe not in it’s original form. You see, the original diet consisted of only drinking a mixture of lemons, cayenne pepper, water and maple syrup for 10 days. There was no eating so users were most likely losing just water weight and perhaps muscle too. Sure, they lost a lot of weight, but at what cost to their bodies?

Nowadays, there is a better way to try the Master Diet Cleanse by getting all of the ingredients in a pill form. With this plan, dieters can take the pill for 14 days and possibly lose up to 17 pounds but they also get to eat real food. So there is no starving and eating food keeps your body just burning fat, not the muscle we want to keep.

So what are the benefits to this? First of all, your body gets a good cleaning out. Lemons are naturally detoxifying and help to clear your system. Next, you will lose weight quickly. While losing weight quickly might not always be the best way to go about it, sometimes people just need something fast for a wedding or an upcoming event that they don’t want to feel puffy and bloated for. Lastly, some people who cleanse have reported clearer skin and a clearer mentality.

It is because these diets are often unhealthy when in fact you still need to maintain a well balanced diet in any weight loss program.
