This book makes sense and has a flow to it. If you want to make it "easier" and honestly eat horrible I would go backwards with it. Starting the 3rd phase then 2nd then, 1st so your slowly cutting out the red meats and carbs etc. instead Of adding them in every 17 days :) love that it's simple menu

Day 12 of cycle 1 and I'm down 10 lbs, even though I have been ill. I haven't worked out each day and I have been taking medicine including cough syrup for most of that time. I have stuck to the eating plan, though. Plan is so easy to do. I got the app too. In three months of trying to lose weight, this is the best time I have had. I have counted calories, gone super low carb, average low carb and had meals delivered. The 17 day first is a sustainable plan.
