Dr. Michael Rafael Moreno, the creator of the
17-Day Diet, believes that it takes 21 days for your body to become accustomed to a new habit, but that at 17 days, the metabolism starts to slow down at any changes you make. So he
devised a plan in which you change your diet every 17 days, by varying the amount of fruits, vegetables, carbs, and protein that you consume, as well as adding 17 minutes of exercise into your routine every day and starting your morning with
Dr. Mike's Power Cookie.
