Created by Dr. Mike Moreno, the 17 Day Diet attempts to help people lose weight by keeping track of what goes into their bodies. The claim is that this diet can help people lose up to 12 pounds in just 17 days. The diet book was not very popular upon its release, but it took off after Moreno made appearances on multiple daytime talk shows.

The key to the 17 Day Diet is changing the amount of carbs, proteins and fats that people eat on a day to day basis to make their metabolisms work faster. Moreno claims that this type of short term approach is actually more effective than long term weight loss plans since people will know exactly what they need to do every step of the way.
