Expressing Our Lifestyle

Day 1

Day 1 was supposed to be only fruits day. Started the day with an apple. Then did a 45 mins workout before lunch. Though its not advisable  to do heavy workouts during this diet plan. Simple aerobics is fine. Had some melon and grapes for lunch and ended the day with a fruit bowl. Its natural to feel tired by the end of the day so dont strain yourself with heavy tasks, keep this week simple and the magic is never let your self go hungry because thats when you crave.

Day 2

Wake up running to the weighing machine. It shows 3.5lbs less. Yipeeee !!! Done be over whelmed girl , its not your fat its your water weight that you have lost. But still seeing a figure that you have not seen for months is encouraging. Then started the day with a big boiled potato. Worked out for 45mins before lunch and had Ridge Gourd for Lunch with boiled green plantain  ofcourse sautéed with some onions , salt and chillie powder. Had Cucumber salad for snack and ended the day with cooked mushroom sauteed with onion , salt and black pepper . End of the day started to feel tired ! Craving strike’d back ! McD , Taco Bell , KFC keeps running through the mind. NOOO! Im going to do this !

Day 3

Yipeee !! I weigh 4lbs less than what I started. I pray it should not be my water weight, but still its encouraging to proceed further. It was a fruit and veggie day. Had the same menu of Day 1 and Day 2 combined.Still I did my 45mins workout. Good part of the day was I was not tempted like the first 2 days. I had some boiled corn that made me feel stuffed. Free Calories aren’t they!  I definitely felt a bit difference in the way I looked. I was tempted to wear my favorite pre pregnancy outfit which I didn’t fit for 2 years. GOOD NEWS! I fit into them !!!! not that they looked as perfect as before pregnancy but still it was able to fit into them, which I didn’t before 5 months. I was totally overwhelmed and motivated for Day 4.

Day 4

Great! I lost 1 more pound. So I’m 4.5 lbs less than the day I started. Good God don’t add these up at the end! Its a tough day of all the 7. All you have to eat is 3 cups milk and 8 bananas. I had 1 cup of milk and 1 banana at each meal, I had the wonder soup + banana in the evening. When I ate my first banana it felt like heaven, by the time I ate the last one I was bored. Still was trying to make it up through the diet. I wasn’t feeling tired because banana is so so rich in calories. It was boring though! By the end of the day I wasn’t craving but was depressed. Food Food Food! Then thinking about those beautiful dresses that didnt fit me for almost a year made me go further to finish it.

Day 5

Good news again! I weigh 5lbs yesterday. I had to eat 6 tomatoes with 1 cup rice (vegetarian version) . So here i went creative. I did a diet version of Tomato Biriyani with 1tbsp oil, 2 chille, 1/2 tbsp ginger garlic paste, 1/4 tbsp chille powder, 1/4 garam masala. Im not sure if I could do it or not but still I thought it was not a bad idea. It was a treat ! after 4 days of depressed food. I went to Khols just to try out some outfits. I was suprised I went down a size. Ended up a $50 bill.

Day 6 and Day 7

No good news ! I broke the diet ! Because Day 6 and Day 7 were weekends. I felt I was going to die if I was going to do it . So I gave up ! Still I was happy I was able to do it for 5 days being a first timer. I ended the diet with 5lbs. Im not sure how much is going to re-bounce but im going to watch out what im eating and atleast I wanted to hold up to 3lbs.

Keep visiting my webite, Im going to post how my life changed after  GM Diet and the DO’s and DONT’s of GM Diet.

Every mom who delivered a baby always wants to shed away those extra lbs that accumulated during her pregnancy. Im one such new mom who wants to get rid of those love handles.  I heard from one of my friend about this GM Diet, she tried it and lost a few lbs. So I thought why not take it and see some results. They say GM Diet was formulated by General Motors for its employees.  Its a 7 day diet and you can expect to lose around 10-15 lbs. I read a lot of pros and cons of this diet but still I wanted to give it a try.

1. Day 1 :You can eat any fruit any amount. Avoid bananas though as they are rich in calories. You are advised to eat a lot of melons. Your body will get ready for the rest of the program.
2. Day 2 : All you eat is only veggies , raw or cooked, all your personnel favorite.No banana. Start your day with a large boiled potato. Potato is for carbs and a veggie day is a calorie free day.
3. Day 3 : So today is another veggie and a fruit day. Still no bananas.No potato because your fruits are going to replace it.
4. Day 4 : 8 banana and 3 glasses of milk. Not necessary you need to consume all 8 bananas.
5. Day 5: 1 cup rice with 6 tomatoes  and drink 2 glass of extra water.
6. Day 6 :1 cup brown rice and vegetables .
7. Day 7 : 1 cup brown rice , vegetables and fruits.

During any part of the diet you feel tired you can consume the GM Diet Wonder Soup. You are strictly advised to consume 10 glass of water. So this is all about the GM Diet my next post will be about my experience with this diet.
