New weight loss plan, ‘The 17 Day Diet’, goes viral

Washington, Apr 8 (ANI): A new diet plan that promises to help people lose weight for a lifetime has gone viral, after appearing on social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter, and even on DVD.
Dr. Michael Moreno, the diet’s creator and author of the book, ‘The 17 Day Diet’, said people who follow his plan will achieve results that will last for a lifetime.
The plan has four cycles, with each cycle consisting of 17 days where dieters vary the carbs, proteins, fruits and other kinds of foods they eat in order to stimulate their metabolism and promote weight loss.
Moreno said each cycle unfolds in 17 days because that’s right before the time when the body starts to recognize the diet as a habit and metabolism starts to slow as a result.
While the diet doesn’t completely eliminate certain foods, there are some dos and don’ts.
Use spices. Use fruit instead of sugar. Use garlic, and cinnamon, and choose mustard rather than mayonnaise. And no fruit or certain types of carbs are allowed after 2 p.m.
Greek yoghurt is a big component of his plan, and diets get to eat a cookie for breakfast.
“I think this diet is probably the only diet that is for everybody,” ABC News quoted Moreno as saying in an interview.
“And that means whether you want to lose five pounds for your high school reunion coming up, whether you want to lose 150 pounds, or whether you’re just comfortable with who you are and how you look and your health and your weight, as it is.
“This is just a way to not only focus on the scale moving, but it’s focusing on good, proper digestive health,” he stated. (ANI)
