| Hi, I signed up this website just to share my experience with GM diet. I am someone who can put on weigt the moment I cheat on my food. But I am paranoid about being overweight and always keep watching what I eat - got used to not eating to my heart's content now. But still, to shed whatever extra I have put on over the year, I do GM diet once in a year. Today is my 3rd day of my 5th GM diet and these are my opinions and experiences. Opinion: like few of you, I also doubt how authentic is the information that, it was made for GM employees since it is not on the GM website. But doesn't matter because the diet makes sense to me. The key is, you got to love fruits and veggies to do this diet. Experience- I have not really lost the weight drastically (may be 2-3lbs from 124lbs) the way it promises, but I have observed that my body keeps loosing weight for a long term even after I get back to my regular diet (again- which I always watch). So, I think GM diet helps my system to gain an intertia to loose weight - which is what I need. Like everybody else, I do find it quite difficult (miserable) for first two days, but by the end of third day, all of my cravings are gone and I am as good as normal. (I am at the end of my day three and really glad that first 2 days are over) I had to cheat for my first two diets but I think I have got the trick now. Keep eating fruits and veggies before you get hungry. I keep all kind of my favourite fruits handy during the first day (I prefer melons and loups but staying only on those makes me feel miserable by the end of the day) and really stuff myself up. On day two, I make my salads and veggies interesting which again helps me stuff myself up (by using differnt combinations of veggies and using different 'less fat' dressings- Zesty Italian is my favourite which I use only for my GM diet just to look forward for it). Also bake vegetables with different seasonings. Lot of sprouts cooked in boiled water for 3-4 mins with favourite seasonings. Day three, combination of the above. Keep yourself busy doing things you really like to do. Once my third day of diet is over, my system really gets used to the change and rest of the days of my diet passes by like any other normal day. One more key point- don't think of covering up for your losses of food after your diet is over. Think of first two days if you get tempted. Keep the faith. PGN |
