Welcome to my blog where I'm trying to consolidate as many recipes for the 17 day diet as I can. I've been on the diet for 17 days and I love a lot of the recipes that are out there, mainly on the doctors tv show website. The problem is these recipes aren't arranged very well. You can search for something specific, but not for a general term like vegetables or breakfast. If you try a recipe, I would love for you to comment. I've tried a lot of these, but not all. I hope this helps any of you who are trying out this diet - I love it!
