GM Diet

Thanks for your response. The lost about 3lbs in the first day itself but these diet things are so difficult to follow or stick to! Will have to look up the low carb regimes.

Well the panic to lose weight with my latest cholestrol report. Hence the diet frenzy! But what you say is right. Anything extreme is awful. I was feeling so weak after the first two days that people around me panicked and asked me to stop the diet regime.

Hmm...not good. Just make sure you are getting plenty of fruit and veggies. Whole grains, oatmeal and a touch of protein. You will do fine. I have faith in your ability to bring yourself to the healthy state you want to be in.

Thanks for your kind words. Hopefully I can stick to a more healthier diet and maintain a healthy life.

The GM Diet is a rapid weight loss method aimed to detoxify and cleanse your system. It is spread over 7 days. While following this diet program, you are advised to stay away from alcohol and consume a lot of water. Day One, you can consume fruits as much as you want or can except for bananas. Some say that consuming melons alone can reduce upto 3-4 lbs on your first day. (If you leave this mid way- you gain that back;) tried and tested!)
Day two cooked or raw vegetables. As bland as possible. Day 3 is for fruits and vegetables. no bananas and potatoes.Day 4 is Banana Day eat upto 8 bananas and drink 3 glasses of milk. Day 5 and 6 small portions of meat with 6 tomatoes. if you are a vegetarian you may have to look at something to replace the meat with the same nutrient value. day 6 can use any vegetables. day 7 is feast day. eat brown rice, juices or veggies. you can repeat it next month for better results! If you last the 7 day diet, it would be better to start and maintain healthy eating habits or you would go back to where you started!

I could never do it! After eating all fruits, I can see loosing weight the first day, but I would think that after you eat again, you will gain it back. The veggie day would kill me!!

This is really ludicrous. I would not do this at all. You don't have to put your body through this kind of abuse. The solution is NOT to go on a diet you can't live with the rest of your life.

:) People who have tried it say that the first three days are the most difficult ones to stick to. Once you pass that stage, you will hang on till the end. Well, speaking for myself, the day of raw and boiled vegetables makes me want to gobble up a few wafers!!

Well day two just made me hallucinate about food and more food.i too am buying the idea of eating healthy than following a stringent diet.

I just responded to a post that gave me a good idea. How about chosing a day of the week and live on jfruit juices and milk shakes all that day? You can use skim milk and sugar substitutes. That´s a body clean diet I like

I completely agree with you. And though I gave this up twice, I have now started on a healthier diet. I panicked seeing my cholestrol report and then the ideas started pouring from internet, friends and family. But I see your point. Thanks.

Thank you for telling me you are eating healthier now.. I was worried about you. I'll be getting my cholesterol checked in July... it's not too high, but doc hopes it will be lower with more weight loss.

Thanks,

Cookie

all the best for your cholestrol check.

Thanks oyenkai for the recipe. Will try it.
