The GM Diet is a free weight loss plan that's been around since 1980s. Rumor has it that the management of General Motors has this diet created for their employees to help them lose weight. I've read that a spokesperson from General Motors denied any knowledge of this diet and it does seem a bit far-fetched to assume that GM had anything to do with it.Nevertheless, the GM Diet has remained popular and is still used today. It's a free 7 day eating plan made up of low calorie food combination. The purpose is to get you to lose weight fast.
GM Diet reviews and testimonials are mixed. Some report losing weight with this diet while others state that it is far too drastic to be any good for the average person. Once you see the full 7 day menu in this article, you'll see that this is indeed not an easy diet plan to stick to.
In addition to what you can eat on each and every day, you can also enjoy the GM Diet Soup which is made up of tomatoes, onions, head of cabbage, celery, and 4 Envelopes Lipton Onion Soup Mix with additional flavoring as you see fit. This soup can be eaten without limitation.
Here is the GM Diet menu:
Day 1: As many fruit as you like except bananas.
Day 2: Any cooked or raw vegetables that you like without any dressing. For breakfast you should have a baked potato flavored with very little butter.
Day 3: As many fruits and vegetables as you like. Bananas are still forbidden to eat.
Day 4: On this day, you can eat up to 8 bananas and drink up to 3 tall glasses of milk. Remember that you can also enjoy the GM Diet soup as much as you like.
Day 5: Eat 6 whole tomatoes and 2 servings of beef (10 oz. each). You also need to drink a high quantity of water.
Day 6: Eat as much beef and vegetables as you like with no limitations on type.
Day 7: Eat brown rich and vegetables and drink fruit juices.
There's little information about whether you can do the cycle again and if so, how soon after the first one is completed.
As you can see, the food is limited and the diet is low on calories. No exercise is mentioned, you only lose weight due to the nutrition.
As this is a restrictive diet plan, it may be hard to stick to the General Motors diet for a long time. However, this is not what this diet is for. It's for a very fast weight loss, not really for long term results.
