Dr. Mike Moreno 17 Day Diet Plan

Did you like the Hcg pellets? Did they work better then the drops.. i sent the e-mail to a few of my friends and they are all getting some.. i like the 1 penny shipping..

Amy, I am so sorry I didn't get to you before now on the fondant. I do know how but I usually buy mine pre-made and then paint it (food coloring).

Here's the one I use when I make it myself.

My real whole name is Frances Ellen but I got nick named "Francie" years ago and it stuck. My maiden name is Grisham. Yes, I am related distantly to the author John Grisham.
My Dad had a brother named John also. The author John G has a brother named Jim and so did my Dad. The author John Grisham wrote a book called the Painted House-- and was a movie. That place is only about 30 minute drive from where I live. It's based on a part of his life when he lived there growing up.

Edited by: CD5551790 at: 5/14/2011 (16:32)

so something must be working

glad to were clothes .. !!!

Yep, true weight is first thing in morning after potty and with no clothes LOL

Me too i love to swim and no way to do that for me in the winter not enough money for the gym we tried that but with 3 kids and sports heck with 3 kids who has any $$ have a good one my friend.. You know what i am almost 5 lbs heavier on my doc scale and you know what it is i am clothed LOL i am so funny some times

I always lose weight better in the summer so I am really hoping to make great strides with it when school is out and there's not so much going on.

Sorry Francis i know how hard it is not to eat.. I went to my doc and i am pretty much a square one again.. 225 i have that i just got down to 218 and back up.. i am saying that is it Tom LOL i just wish that i could stop with them all together.. i can go 6 month then have them again for a few months .. My Doc told me that could go on for years well thanks for that information.. any way to much information i am sure..

Why can some people lose weight with not that much work i hate that i have to work so hard for every pound.. I know your the same way.. I am worried about my daughter watch me struggle with my weight and she is like mom i so do not want to get fat. Well thanks sweet heart i did not think that i would but i did.. I was always the skinny kid what happened.!!!!!

Well, the great shot in my knee is doing what I call the nasty dance with me LOL It was a steroid of course and you know what that does as far as your appetite!!! Yep, it hit me last night like a ton of bricks. Having to work so hard not to eat the house!!

i may have to see if i can get some i need all the help i can get.. i got the cinnamon pills and my D.D. and i take them and there great.. they help with keeping your blood sure on track and my D.D. have lost 5 lbs in just a few weeks.. she do not need to lose any more but she is young and wants to lose 5 to 10 more her doc said it was fine for her i just do not want her to look to thin or starved.. her doc talked to both of us about her diets and wanted to make sure that she was eating like she should.. She is at home no telling at school..
got low fat cottage cheese or fat free i can't remember.. having that with peaches yummy.. for lunch.. salad also with a ton of veggies..

You can still lose just doing 17 Day though. I'm just doing HCG to give me extraa boost

out of the hcg and not sure if i can get any more right now.. need money for son and daughter.. My daughter b-day and money for son if he makes it to state in track..

Breakfast
2 eggs boiled

Here is a recipe from SP that we could tweak a bit.

recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detai
l.
asp?recipe=300231

Instead of ham, use low sodium low fat sliced turkey breast. 2 of these would be our serving then add fruit and you have breakfast!!!

I may do it using liquid egg substitute and liquid whites mixed. Also I would add a tad of no sodium salsa to the egg mixture and Mrs. Dash Southwest Chipotle. I love spice!

I loved your 2 cents worth Francie!

Since I am supposed to eat gluten free as much as possible, this is really a good plan for me, especially the first 2 cycles. I don't miss the bread & pasta much at all. I sometimes mix my berries, yogurt & some vanilla protein powder in blender and make smoothie for breakfast.

There is a recipe in the book called Mike's Power Cookie. I am wanting to try that.When I have time, I'll post the recipe here for anyone to use. In fact, I could scan all the recipes from the book and copy and paste them here.

I will do Cycle 1 & 2 alternating until I have lost what I want then will go on with Cycle 3 & 4.

Cycle 2 adds some grains back in like brown rice, certain beans I think, whole grain oats maybe. I don't have the book in front of me.

The book needs to be read all the way through so you will understand every aspect and why.

SP posted a blog about it and really sort of blasted it. I put my 2 cents worth in.

www.dailyspark.com/blog.asp?post=is_
th
e_17day_diet_for_you

Here is what I commented:
I am using this PLAN and it works for me. It is a very good plan for someone who is limited on strenuous exercise. It is also great for diabetics. It is also good for celiacs and carb sensitive folks. There are many things in this PLAN that SP failed to talk about. Just because it doesn't measure up to SP measures, doesn't mean it isn't good and won't work. Different strokes for different folks!!! My MD recommended it to me!!!

Sounds like a pretty easy plan to follow Francie. It sounds like alot of food especially if you can eat liberal amounts of protein. Good idea with the chicken parm!

Here is a good way to fix chicken breast

I call it Chicken Parmesan without the pasta

1 chicken breast grilled
low sodium veggie salsa or low carb spaghetti
sauce
Kraft fat free Parmesan- shake on kind

grill or broil my chicken breast til done. Then put 2 Tblsps of sauce on it and Parmesan then put in oven under broiler for couple minutes
serve with a big salad

Some people on this Plan use the Miracle Noodles and have no problem. I really don"t care for them..

Edited by: CD5551790 at: 5/3/2011 (12:49)

it all depends how much protein and veggies you eat. book says not to track but I try to
book says to as many veggies from list as you want and liberal amounts protein at lunch and supper

don't forget you have to have 2 fruits and 2 yogurts or 1 yogurt and 1 live active cottage cheese or other probiotic food
eat all fruit before 2pm. book explains why

Looks like you girls are doing great planning out your meals!

Francie how many calories a day does that all add up to?

sounds great Amy!!!

Yoplait light peach yogurt
a bunch of grapes about 15 in total
lunch is a salad with turkey

dinner is going to be a stir fry of chicken breast and a ton of veggies..

Francie that was me i am shopping today.. i don't eat eggs so turkey sausage i will get some of that for me today.. i hate getting food just for me but i have to.. i love fruit and vegges so that is not going to be a hard one for me.. at all.. I am so glad that the east candy is gone now.. i am not at sorry to see it gone.. peanut butter eggs yummy.. heck anything Choc .. I have my D.D. b-day on the 20th and i know that that weekend is not going to be a good one.. She wants a bowling party.. i told her only a few friends .. B.B.Q. on Sat.. her b-day is Friday but her party is on Sat.. She wants ribs and chicken.. and all the salads and ice cream cake.. going to try my best not to over eat and blow it ..

i am in my friend we can do this

Edited by: AMYLOVESTZU at: 4/30/2011 (18:04)

We don't actually have to record weight here in the morning, if you don't want to. Just keep track of it.
We'll record our LOSS on Sat. morning. or each day if you like but I am going to each Sat.

The first time I did cycle 1 I lost 10 pounds in 17 days!!! I had some issues that set me back but am now ready to go for the goal line!!!
Let's GO for the GOAL!!!

Good luck with it dolls! I will be following your progress and cheering you on!

This is a very healthy plan for losing weight. It is very good for diabetics.It is very good for anyone It is easy to follow.
Meal plans are all laid out but you can do your own as long as you follow what you are supposed to eat. There are also recipes in the back. It is set up in 17 day cycles. Each cycle is 17 days long. If you want to get the book and read it, you can get used copies on Amazon.com. I think Walmart may have it also.

Amy and I are going to start this on Sunday. Anyone is welcome to join us. WE CAN DO THIS!!!!
