Today I started the 17 day diet. I haven't abandoned WW, I'm just looking for a way to speed up the weight loss and get me past my plateau. The day started out fairly easy and wasn't much different from what I normally eat on a regular WW day. It wasn't until around 1:30 this afternoon I started feeling REALLY bad. I got a really bad headache, I was tired, and I even felt nauseous. After talking to a few co-workers (one of them is doing the Dukan Diet and the other the 17 Day diet) and they explained to me I was experiencing the "detox" part of the diet. I even talked to our school nurse and she told me I was probably experiencing a sugar withdrawal because apparently sugar addiction is real and I suffer from it! So, after eating low carb, low sugar meals all day I don't feel that bad. I started feeling better around 5, had dinner and then went for my 17 minute walk. So far so good, the books states that if I follow the plan for the first 17 days I should be able to lose 10-12lbs...fingers crossed!
