General Motors Diet

I started on the GM diet today. And I feel GREAT! Many people I know have done it before and not gained it all back. I think this just might be the one "diet" worth doing. What do you think?

I find the hostility of these postings to be shocking.  Muktiray, good for you for sharing.  This is intended to be short-term diet in order to jump-start your fat burning metabolism and cleanse your system.  It works!  You get all of the nutrients your body needs, you can eat all you want, you drink lots of water and it works to cleanse your colon and allow your liver and kidneys to rid your body of toxins.  Of course on a daily basis we should all use common sense in our eating choices and this is not meant to be a long-term eating plan.  There is nothing wrong with a cleanse and this one is not nearly as radical as what else is out there (try 21 days of lemonade, maple syrup and cayenne pepper!  now that's silly).  In fact, it is very doable and is designed specifically to be giving your body specific nutrients in an intentional, methodical series.  People should be more thoughtful before they post such wildly hostile remarks.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought this! I know this is an old thread...but wow people. Come on. Is it really going to hurt you or anyone else to say great, good for you! I'm glad you're trying something new for yourself. Try it and if it works it works, and if it doesn't you live and learn. That's the best way afterall.

I feel like in "the real world" if people at work or at the store etc. came up to you and started talking to you about these "fad" diets and how they're going to try this or that or whatever and are really excited about it, most of you would NEVER speak to them the way you speak to some of the posters on here. Just come on. Why discourage people so much? Just get off your high horse. It's not like they're saying omg I figured out a new way to lose weight! Snorting coke for breakfast, lunch, and dinner! Go me!
