For Your Rapid Weight Loss
Introduction The 17 Day Diet is made up four Cycles which aim to promote fast and healthy weight loss through these four core ideas: Accelerate, Activate, Achieve, and Arrive. Each Cycle lasts for 17 days, during which a person is given a list of approved foods that he or she must strictly adhere to for the success of the program. The secret of this program lies on what is known as body confusion that is achieved through the changing food patterns throughout the four Cycles. This body confusion is a way of preventing the body from adapting to the metabolic properties that allow you to burn more fat faster. Cycle 1 is the initial 17-day period that will keep you away from all the starchy foods, sugars, and carbohydrates that you know and love. It is considered to be the strictest of all the cycles, but also allows the most weight loss as it cleanses the body of unhealthy carbs that result to all those extra pounds.

Furthermore, this cycle stimulates the bodys metabolic rate, allowing it to burn up fat and calories faster. The good thing about this first cycle is that while you may be deprived of all the pasta, breads, and sweets that you have grown to want and love, it does allow you to eat unlimited amounts of certain proteins and vegetables, keeping you from depriving your body of the nutrients that it needs. Here is a list of some of the most delicious recipes that you can try out during your Cycle 1 period. Breakfast Recipes Breakfast Bowl This breakfast treat is easy to do and very filling.
