While weight loss is important what's more important is the quality of food you put in your body - food is information that quickly changes your metabolism and genes.
'The 17 Day Diet' keeps your body and metabolism guessing. I call this 'body confusion.'
If you continually diet you are putting your body in a quasi-famine situation. It slows your metabolism down and breaks the thermostat. Diets don't work. They don't help you understand why you're eating more than your body wanted in the first place.
I don't think people should have boundaries put on them by themselves or society or another gender because it's our birthright to experience life in whatever way we feel best suits us.
