So my Aunt Laura is doing The 17 Day Diet and lost 26 lbs already. My family is all abuzz about this and my mom, sister, sister-in-law, and brother-in-law are all doing it. I jumped on the band-wagon and bought the Kindle version of the book. It makes a lot of sense. It is actually 4 cycles of 17days. The 1st cycle is pretty much a detox to get you off sugar and bad carbs but surprisingly you can eat as much as you want of lean protein (fish and chicken) and veggies and 2 servings of probiotic (yogurts, miso, etc) and 2 serving of lower sugar fruits. I plan on starting it as soon as I can get rid of the stuff I can't eat. I decided to start making recipes that I will be able to eat during cycle 1 because I have to have flavor. This is the first one.
Greek Yogurt Tuna Salad
1 7 oz can of tuna packed in water, drained and flaked
1 cup of plain Greek yogurt (I used FAGE)
1/4 cup of peas
1 stalk of celery sliced thin
1 green onion sliced thin
1-2 tbsp of dill weed
dash of garlic powder
1/2 tsp of kosher salt
1/2 tsp of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
mix everything together and let it sit in the fridge overnight.
I had this in lettuce wraps for dinner last night and am having for lunch over a bed of greens today. Flavor is much better today.
I think you could also omit the celery, onion, and tuna and use this for a veggie dip.
