My experience with the 7-day GM Diet:: 2

After my first successful cycle of the GM Diet, I went back to my regular diet. Of course, I made some permanent changes in my diet - I cut down on my daily intake of sugar and fried stuff. The first time I did the GM Diet in Nov 2012, I lost 4.5 kg. In the next 2 months, with normal diet and no exercise, I regained 1 kg.

So, in January, I did the GM Diet for the second time. This time, I did the non-veg version.

I followed the schedule below strictly. I had no tea/coffee/alcohol while on the diet. And, on all days, I had 3-4 litres of lukewarm water. Day 1:: Breakfast: Guava and Apple Lunch: Guava, Orange Dinner: Apple, Orange, Guava Snacks:Apple, Orange This was a very difficult day. I lack of energy was palpable. However, I made it through. Day 2:: Breakfast: One boiled potato with butter Lunch: Cucumber, Tomato, Carrot Dinner: Brocolli, Cauliflower, onions, green peas and carrots sauteed with one spoonfull of Extra Lite Olive oil and seasoned with salt and pepper. Snacks: Cucumber, tomato, carrot. This day was much better. Munching on carrots always make me feel better. Day 3:: Breakfast: Guava Lunch: Apple, Orange, Guava Dinner: Broccoli, Cauliflower, onions, green peas and carrots sauteed with one spoonfull of Extra Lite Olive oil and seasoned with salt and pepper. Snacks: Cucumber, tomato, carrot. This day was much easier. Day 4:: Breakfast: Banana Shake (1 glass skimmed milk+2 bananas) Lunch: Banana Shake (1 glass skimmed milk+2 bananas) Dinner: Soup (celery, cabbage, tomato, onion, green chilli +salt)+ 1 glass milk Snacks: 2 bananas This day was quite uneventful. Day 5:: Breakfast: Smoked chicken breast and 1 raw tomato (I had bought the ready-to-eat smoked chicken breast from a Deli. I just microwaved it the morning for a few minutes.) Lunch: Smoked chicken breast and 2 raw tomato Dinner: Smoked chicken breast and 2 raw tomato Snacks: 1 tomato The food was quite heavy and I didn't feel that I was on a diet :) Day 6:: Breakfast: Smoked chicken breast and 1 raw tomato Lunch: Roasted Chicken salad from Subway (no jalapenos, no olives, no pickle, no dressings) Dinner: 2 pieces of fish and sateed broccoli. Snacks: Cucumber, Carrots It didn't even feel like I was on a diet! Day 7:: Breakfast: Guava, Apple Lunch: One cup brown rice with green peas and carrots. Dinner: Broccoli, Cauliflower, onions, green peas and carrots sauteed with one spoonfull of Extra Lite Olive oil and seasoned with salt and pepper. Snacks: Coconut water This time, I lost 4 kgs on this diet. But, this time, the diet was more fun to do since I had included my favorite fruits and vegetables. Also, since I did the non-veg version, I was much more energetic. In the last 2 months, I did the GM Diet twice, and have lost almost 8 kgs in 2 months. I think this diet really works for me. Also, even without any physical exercise, I have been able to prevent the weight regaining process. Only down side is that, now, all my clothes are oversized :( I plan to do the GM Diet again in the near future. My target is to lose 10 kgs in the next 4 months - and keep it off!
