The 17 Day Diet - Reset your metabolism and transform your body in just 17 days

Kinshasha talked with Dr. Mike Moreno about his 17 Day Diet weight loss plan that was initially created to avoid the holiday weight gain. The beauty about the diet is that it can be used at any time throughout the year to shed a few pounds.

Every 17 days you’re changing what you’re doing. "We call it metabolic, or body, confusion,” Dr. Mike explains.

There are four cycles:
•Cycle 1:
Accelerate. Encourages rapid weight loss, cleansing and fat burning. Discourages fat storage.

•Cycle 2: Activate. Resets the metabolism.

•Cycle 3: Achieve. Develop good eating habits, re-teach yourself how to eat carbs.

•Cycle 4: Arrive. A combination of the first three Cycles.

On weekends, enjoy your favorite foods.
