Self-Help Diet
“We’ve all pledged, promised and bullied ourselves to eat
better and exercise more, but so many times even the best
intentions fall short. I incorporate healthy habits into my
work and home life and you can too.” –Dr. Mike Moreno If you need to shed pounds fast and in a safe, effective,
and lasting way, this is the book for you! Unlike many diet
programs that starve you down to size, Dr. Mike Moreno’s 17
Day Diet relies on proven methods to help you take weight
off and keep it off for good—whether you’ve got 10 pounds to
lose or 100. His revolutionary program adjusts your body
metabolically so that you burn fat day in and day out. The
program is structured around four 17 day cycles: Accelerate—the rapid weight loss portion that helps flush
sugar and fat storage from your system Activate—the metabolic restart portion with alternating low
and high calorie days to help shed body fat Achieve—this phase is about learning to control portions and
introducing new fitness routines Arrive—a combination of the first three cycles to keep good
habits up for good. On weekends, enjoy your favorite foods! Each cycle changes your calorie count and the food that
you’re eating. The variation that Dr. Mike calls ‘body
confusion’ keeps your metabolism guessing; this means that
you can expect big changes in the first 17 days alone! This is not a diet that relies on a tiny list of approved
foods, grueling exercise routines, or unrealistic calorie
counts that leave you hungry and unfulfilled. Moderation and
proper portions are key factors in the 17 Day Diet—the trick
is to figure out the foods and routines that work best with
your real lifestyle. That’s why the book is filled with tips
for how to avoid the usual food pitfalls like holidays,
eating out, or even just a tempting candy jar. Along with a
comprehensive explanation of how each segment works, every
phase comes with an extensive list of foods, recipes, and
sample meal plans to help make grocery shopping a breeze.
Because of the diversity that you are allowed from the very
beginning of the program, there is a way to make this diet
work with almost any food allergies you might have or what
cuisine you’re used to eating. The 17 Day Diet is a simple plan that gets big, long-lasting
results if you stick with it and let Dr. Mike help you along
the way. Whether this is your first attempt at dieting or
your fiftieth, you must believe that you can do this. What
matters now is focusing on your goals, identifying what you
need to get there, and taking action to begin the process.
Your health and happiness are important, so stand strong,
believe in yourself, and let your 17 Day Diet begin now! Dr. Michael Rafael Moreno, better known as “Dr. Mike,” is a
graduate of the University of California at Irvine and
Hahnemann Medical School (now Drexel University). Following
his residency at Kaiser Permanente in Fontana, California,
Dr. Mike moved to San Diego, where he now practices family
medicine and sits on the board of the San Diego Chapter of
the American Academy of Family Physicians. In 2008, Dr. Mike
launched “Walk with Your Doc,” which he participates in
every Tuesday and Thursday morning before his workday
begins. The program began when Dr. Mike offered to walk with
a patient to motivate her to exercise and has since grown
into a thriving community Dr. Mike takes pride in being
viewed not only as a doctor, but also as a friend and
confidant.
