Many people know about the famous GM Diet; for those who don't know GM diet, it is a diet plan originally created for the employees of General Motors (that's why the name GM). GM diet is a 7 day diet plan, if you follow it religiously you could lose anywhere between 2 kg to 7 kg in 7 days. No kidding!!!
I did it once. I lost 5 kgs in 7 days, but gained back 2 kgs, so overall I lost 3 kgs in 7 days (not bad huh). It worked for me, I am sure it will work for you too.
In this 7 day diet plan you follow a specific diet each day. You can complement this diet with a special cabbage soup. I will share the recipe of this special cabbage soup at the end of the post. Let's start with 7 days diets first .
Day 1: This is fruits day. You eat only fruits, nothing else. You are allowed to pick any fruit but no banana. It is advised to have lots of water melon and muskmelon on day 1 to boost your weight loss.
Day 2: This is vegetables day. You eat only vegetables, today no fruits. You can use little olive oil to enhance the taste of your cooked vegetables. Saute your vegetables with thin slices of garlic and herbs. Add lots of green leafy vegetables to your diet.
Day 3: This is fruits+vegetables day. You can have both fruits and vegetables, but no banana and potato. Sorry!!! But there are other tasty fruits and vegetables like grapes, apple, orange, mushroom which are very tasty and very healthy.
Day 4: This is a tough day especially for me because I don't drink milk and I don't like banana. Today you are allowed to have only bananas and milk. You can have up to 8 bananas. For people who love banana shakes, it's a treat as you can make yummy banana milk shakes.
Day 5: Congratulations, you are done with the tough days. 5th day onward it is much easy to follow the diet. 5th day you can eat upto 8 tomatoes along with protein like brown rice, fish, chicken, paneer. You can make yummy tomato rice along with grilled fish or chicken or paneer tikka.
Day 6: This is vegetables+proteins day. You can have all varieties of vegetables along with protein like fish, chicken, paneer, soya.
Day 7: Today is the last day of your 7 days GM Diet. Congratulations on reaching the 7th day successfully. Today is all about fruits and vegetables. But thinking that it is the last day of your 7 days long diet you would be very happy and excited. You would be enjoying your light weight, I am not kidding.
Now the recipe for the special cabbage soup...
Ingredients: cabbage, carrot, onion, tomatoes, celery leaves/stalks, green beans
How to cook: Finely chop all the ingredients and put in a vessel. Add water. Add less water if you want a thick soup or add more water if you want a soup with thin consistency. Let it boil for sometime. Garnish it with herbs and black pepper.
