No crash dieting. No starving. And a weight loss of 10 to 12 pounds in 17 days. That's what the best-selling The 17 Day Diet: A Doctor's Plan Designed for Rapid Results promises. The question: will it work for you?
The author, Dr. Michael Rafael Moreno, is an M.D. who practices family medicine and has appeared on Dr. Phil and the Doctors with weight loss tips. On his 17-Day diet, you'll enjoy lean proteins, fruits, veggies, and small amounts of grain. Plan to drink a lot of water as well.
What's great about this diet: Dr. Moreno does recognize the need for variations. There's an entire section on the "cultural" variation, to incoporate ethnic cuisines, and even a PMS Exception Diet, which helps with PMS problems. For those who crave more struture, Dr. Moreno also has created a companion workbook.
