1. Advantages of GM diet
This
7-day diet plan was developed for the employees of General Motors. The
main aim of this program was to attain good health and fitness. A look
at the major benefits of the diet should be enough to convince you of
its importance and success:
Lose 5kgs to 8kgs within 7 days
Reduces flab from the tummy area
Adds natural glow to the skin
Rids the body of the toxins and you actually feel light and happy
The
diet plan will sound outrageously cruel, but it becomes easy to follow
if you complete the first two days successfully. By successful
completion, it is obviously implied that you resist every single urge to
break the diet regime. However, you must get a nod from your doctor
before attempting this diet.
Here’s the day-wise GM diet plan (along with a cheat-sheet)
Day 1
Only fruits, with the exception of bananas, litchi,
mangoes and grapes. Eat lots of watermelon, melon, pomegranates, apples,
lime, oranges, strawberries and any other fruit that you like. Eat 20
times a day, if you want to, but only fruits.
**If you feel yourself craving for salt, then a tiny-winy ‘hajmola’ tab will help immensely. less
Day 2
Only
vegetables. Begin your day with one boiled potato with a tea-spoon of
butter. For the rest of the day, eat only raw, boiled or otherwise
cooked vegetables without oil. Don't eat more than one potato for the
day. You can eat cabbage, carrots, cucumber, gourd and other vegetables.
Add basil and oregano seasoning to them to make them more edible.
*If you make it through Day 2, then half the battle is won!
Day 3
Basically
a combination of Day 1 and Day 2, which means you can eat fruits and
vegetables of your liking, but no bananas or potatoes. Eat to your
heart’s content and don’t forget to drink a lot of water.
Day 4
Bananas
and Milk. You have the liberty to eat almost 6 bananas and have up to 4
glasses of milk. Though, you were told that bananas lead to weight
gain, in this diet, the bananas act as a source of sodium and potassium,
since your salt intake during the GM diet had reduced considerably. You
can even have the highly diluted, yet yummy vegetable soup (tomatoes,
onions, capsicum and garlic). It is such a respite after the three days
on fruits and vegetables only. less
Day 5
Another feast day where you can eat sprouts, tomatoes and cottage
cheese (paneer). You could also eat chicken or soya chunks. Supplement
your diet with the wonder soup. Increase the intake of water on account
of the urea formation.
Day 6
Similar
to Day 5, so you can eat sprouts, cottage cheese, chicken, soya chunks
and other vegetables. No tomatoes. Supplement your diet with the wonder
soup.
Day 7
It
is the last day and you must be feeling very light and happy. This day
you can have fruit juice, a bowl of rice or half roti, and any vegetable
that you want to eat. If you are trying to lose to weight for a special
occassion then you should try this diet at least two months before
that. Also, you should maintain a gap of three to seven days between
subsequent regimes.
