Well, like anyone I was intrigued by the idea of a 17 day diet. Really? That's all it takes to conquer obesity in America? How could we have been so foolish?
But then I found out it was really four cycles of 17 days, and I thought: this guy's been watching too many late night infomercials: "Just four cycles of 17 days each..." but the 68 day diet just doesn't sound as sexy.
You can do the 17 minute workout, get the 17 day meal packages, spend a great deal of time thinking about why it isn't the 15.7 day diet or the 18.33 day diet. When you watch Dr. Moreno defend the 17 there really isn't any reason why the other two numbers wouldn't work. Wouldn't part of a day be better at confusing the body?
In the end, it's one more young, healthy male doctor explaining to middle aged women that they just need more discipline when really it's a matter of hormones.
