17DD Cycle 1 Chili

Kevin and I have recently lost a combined total of 50 lbs by doing the 17 Day Diet.  I have never been successful dieting before but for some reason, this diet worked for both of us.  I HIGHLY recommend it. 

Not only did the diet help us lose weight (and keep it off), but it also taught us how to cook our own delicious meals.  We no longer crave eating out (unless it is cuisine that we can't make ourselves) and we are proud to have people over for dinner.

Here is a recipe that we learned early in the diet, from the 17DD board on The Doctors website, that we'll keep making for years.  A nice healthy chili.  Who doesn't love chili on those cold winter nights?  (I can't find this recipe on the boards any more so I'm typing it out for you here).

Cheers!
