General Motors Weight Loss Diet

The General Motors Diet targets a weight loss of 7-10 lbs in seven days. It also helps in flushing and cleaning out toxins.

The General Motors Weight Loss Diet was developed for the employees of the firm. However, the diet proved so useful that the world cannot stop listing its benefits. Along with being a perfect recipe for a fast weight loss, it also helps detoxify and cleanse the system.

According to the diet, you must completely abstain from drinking alcohol. You should ideally take 10-15 glasses of water everyday as it helps flush out the toxins from your body. You can consume the following beverages - water flavored with lemon, club soda, black coffee - no cream, no substitutes and no sugar.

Important: No fruit juices before Day Seven.

Day One

Eat as many fruits as you want. No bananas though. If watermelon or cantaloupe is available, take huge quantities of it. Watermelon will enable you to lose 3-4 lbs on the first day. Day One would prepare the system for the week to come.

Day Two

Eat all vegetables - raw or cooked - of your choice in any quantity. A cooked vegetable does not mean vegetables made in curry or with spices. You can make food palatable by adding a dollop of butter or some salad dressing to it. This is taken for energy and balance. You can start the day by eating a baked potato but the rest of the vegetables consumed during the day should be calorie free and rich in nutrition and fiber.

You can also try sautéed vegetables. Boil the vegetables of your choice, once they are boiled drain the water out of them, lightly sauté them in a teaspoon of butter, add a little salt and you are done.

Day Three

A mixture of fruits and vegetables - all the salad that you can eat day! No bananas and no potatoes. Day Three prepares the system to start burning excess pounds.

Day Four

Eat up to 8 bananas and drink 3 glasses of milk. Day Four makes up for the lost potassium and sodium.

Day Five

Take small portions of lean meat or cottage cheese with 6 whole tomatoes. You can make a sandwich out of it. Increase your water intake by 1/4th. The meat / cheese are for iron and proteins and the tomatoes are for digestion and fiber. The excess water purifies the system.

Day Six

Eat unlimited amounts of lean meat (fish / chicken) or cottage cheese and vegetables.

Day Seven

Eat brown rice, fruit juices and all the vegetables you can possibly stuff! On this day, you will feel 7-10 lbs lighter from all the rinsing and flushing. Do not use white rice - use pulses for a protein substitute.

If this diet works for you, please follow it only once a month and not more than that. Eat enough when on this diet to avoid fatigue, tiredness and emotional distress. Do not curb your hunger!

Hi,

This is not the correct and original diet plan.

You have added wrong stuff like:

A) a sandwich on day 5. That is absolutely forbidden!
B)Lean Meat (fish or chicken) - both these do not contain enough proteins recomended in the programme.

Thanks
Shamita

#8 by Neeti, May 12, 2008
My husband and i are following this and are on day 4 with bananas. Who ever wrote it is doable...??? It isn't!!! Really difficult to live on that yuck soup...on day 2, in the evening both of us were feeling feverish and as if will faint. Apologies but i guess to work out every day with normal eating habits will help me more than this.
#9 by Hinal, May 18, 2008

#15 by Harpal, Jun 30, 2008
Ok finally i\'m doing this next week,should c how it will work
#16 by Reshma, Jun 30, 2008
I'm in the fourth day of the GM Diet...i think tomorrow is the toughest part, having to live with only tomatoes and water and some chicken as a teaser. The trick for starters is:

Store up enough groceries for variety.

Preferably, start your diet on a Friday so that you have the 2nd and 3rd day as a weekend so that you can grab anything you're allowed you eat easily and take rest whenever possible. Don't forget the 'water' clause- PLENTY OF IT.

Don't wait till you are hungry, for, that will make you really tired. So, eat everytime you feel a little lighter maybe about 2 hours after you eat(it may be even less for some). DIETING DOESN'T MEAN STARVING HERE. Eat as much as you can...no restrictions on that, especially when you work outside of home.

Have a partner/friend to movitate you all the while-it helps. Don't just give up- it is easy to give reasons.

Go walking or swimming/ atleast do some stretching to make yourself feel good, but do it towards evening so that it doesn't drain out your energy in the day- you could anyways sleep later in the night.

Sprinkle very little salt/spices(like garlic) if you cannot eat it just like that...but compensate that with some more extra water. You don't have to make it feel like its a punishment. You could make the same dish that you prepare at home(with minimal spices and no oil)-that will make it tastier atleast...surprisingly, you'll notice that your cravings will start coming down by day 3.

Will write more later based on my experiences hereafter :) Herez to Good Health!
#17 by Reshma, Jun 30, 2008
I think when the diet says sandwich on 5th day, it means a sandwich with chicken thinly sliced and tomatoes to make it taste better(no bread there)- this was original devised in the US folks.

Also, I don\'t know how far the rice would help...the GM diet specifies that the meat on 5th day gives proteins and iron. So, the chicken substitute should be some pulse(in less quantity)+ spinach or something like that and not rice- but in what quantity? That needs to be specified for vegetarians.
#18 by Rao, Jul 1, 2008

General Motors: Weight Loss Diet Program



The following diet and health program was developed for employees and dependents of General Motors, Inc. and is intended for their exclusive use. This program was developed in conjunction with a grant from U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Food and Drug Administration. It was field tested at the Johns Hopkins Research Centre and was approved for distribution by the Board of Directors, General Motors Corp. at a general meeting on August 15, 1985. General Motors Corp. wholly endorses this program and is making it available to all employees and families. This program will be available at all General Motors Food Service Facilities. It is management's intention to facilitate a wellness and fitness program for everyone.

This program is designed for a target weight loss of 10-17 lbs per week. It will also improve your attitudes and emotions because of its cleansing systematic effects.

The effectiveness of this seven day plan is that the food eaten burn more calories than they give to the body in caloric value.

This plan can be used as often as you like without any fear of complications. It is designed to flush your system of impurities and give you a feeling of well being. After seven days you will begin to feel lighter because you will be lighter by at least 10 lbs. You will have an abundance of energy and an improved disposition.

During the first seven days you must abstain from all alcohol
You must drink 10 glasses of water each day Day One All fruits except bananas. Your first day will consist of all the fruits you want. It is strongly suggested that you consume lots of melons the first day. Especially watermelon and a loupe. If you limit your fruit consumption to melons, your chances of losing three lbs. on first day are very good.

Day Two All vegetables. You are encouraged to eat until you are stuffed with all the raw or cooked vegetables of your choice. There is no limit on the amount or type. For your complex carbohydrate, you will start day two with a large baked potato for breakfast. You may top the potato with one pat of butter.

Day Three A mixture of fruits and vegetables of your choice. Any amount, any quantity. No bananas yet. No potatoes today.

Day Four Bananas and milk. Today you will eat as many as eight bananas and drink three glasses of milk. This will be combined with the special soup which may be eaten in limited quantities.

Day Five Today is feast day. You will eat beef and tomatoes. Eat two 10 oz. portions of lean beef. Hamburger is OK. Combine this with six whole tomatoes. On day five you must increase your water intake by one quart. This is to cleanse your system of the uric acid you will be producing.

Day Six Beef and vegetables. Today you may eat an unlimited amount of beef and vegetables. Eat to your hearts content.

Day Seven Today your food intake will consist of brown rice, fruit juices and all the vegetables you care to consume.



Tomorrow morning you will be 10-17 lbs. lighter than one week ago. If you desire further weight loss, repeat the program again. You may repeat this program as often as you like, however, it is suggested that you are allowed two glasses of white wine in addition to the instructions on the program. You may substitute champagne for white wine. Under no circumstances are you to drink any other alcoholic beverages with the exception of beer which is allowed. Any liquor (bourbon,vodka, rum) is forbidden. Cream drinks are especially forbidden. You may have an occasional cordial such as creme de menthe or schnapps, but you must always limit yourself to two drinks. If you wine, drink only wine that day. If you have beer, drink only beer that day, etc. Alcohol adds empty calories to your diet. However, after the first week it will help your digestion and settle your stomach.

G.M.'S Wonder Soup

The following soup is intended as a supplement to your diet. It can be eaten any time of the day in virtually unlimited quantities. You are encouraged to consume large quantities of this soup.

28 oz, Water, 6 Large Onions, 2 Green Peppers, Whole Tomatoes (fresh or canned), 1 Head Cabbage, 1 Bunch Celery, 4 Envelopes Lipton Onion Soup Mix, Herbs and Flavouring as desired.

Additional Comments

Vegetables as may be taken in the form of a salad if desired. No dressing except malt, white or wine vinegar, squeezed lemon, garlic, herbs. No more than one tea spoon of oil.

You have been given a recipe for the WONDER SOUP which can be eaten in unlimited quantities. This soup is a supplement while you are on the program and it should be a pleasure to eat. Not everyone likes cabbage, green peppers, calory etc. This recipe is not inflexible. You may substitute vegetables according to your taste. You may add any vegetables you like: asparagus, peas, corn, turnips, green beans, cauliflower, etc. Try to stay away from beans (lima, pinto, kidney, etc.), however, because they tend to be high in calories even though they are very good for you.

Beverages you may consume while on the program :

Water (flavoured with lemon/lime if desired).
Club Soda is OK.
Black Coffee. No cream or cream substitute. No sugar or sweetness.
Black Tea = Herb or Leaf.
Absolutely nothing else except the fruit juices which are part of day seven. No fruit juices before day seven.
How and Why It Works

Day One you are preparing your system for the upcoming programme. Your only source of nutrition is fresh or canned fruits. Fruits are nature's perfect food. They provide everything you could possibly want to sustain life except total balance and variety.

Day Two starts with a fix of complex carbo-hydrates coupled with an oil dose. This is taken in the morning for energy and balance. The rest of day two consists of vegetables which are virtually calorie free and provide essential nutrients and fibre.

Day Three eliminates the potato because you get your carbohydrates from the fruits. You system is now prepared to start burning excess pounds. You will still have cravings which should start to diminish by day four.

Day Four, bananas, milk and soup sound the strangest and least desirable. You're in for a surprise. You probably will not eat all the bananas allowed. But they are there for the potassium you have lost and the sodium you may have missed the past three days. You will notice a definite loss of desire for sweets. You will be surprised how easy this day will go.

Day Five, Beef and tomatoes. The beef is for iron and proteins, the tomatoes are for digestion and fibre. Lots and lots of water purifies your system. You should notice colourless urine today. Your allowance calls for the equivalent of five "quarter ponders". Do not feel you have to eat all this beef. You must eat the six tomatoes.

Day Six is similar to day five, Iron and proteins from beef, Vitamins and fibre from vegetables. By now your system is in a total weight loss inclination. There should be a noticeable difference in the way you look today, compared to day one.

Day Seven finished off the program like a good cigar used to finish off Victorian meals, except much healthier. You have your system under control and it should thank you for the flushing and cleaning you just gave it.

This programme is designed for a target weight loss of 5-6 kgs., per week. It will also improve your attitude and emotions because of its systematic cleansing effects. The effectiveness of the seven day plan is that the food eaten burn more calories than they give to the body in caloric value. This plan can be used as often as you like without any fear of complications. It is designed to flush your system of impurities and give you a feeling of well being. After seven days you will begin to feel lighter by atleast 10 lbs. You will have an abundance of energy and an improved disposition.

During the first seven days you must drink 10 glasses of water each day.

DAY ONE
All fruits except bananas. Your first day will consist of all fruits you want. It is suggested you consume lots of melons the first day, especially water melon.

DAY TWO
All vegetables. You are encouraged to eat until you are stuffed with all raw/cooked vegetables of your choice. There is no limit on the amount or type. Avoid oil and coconut while cooking vegetables. Have large boiled potato for breakfast.

DAY THREE
Any mixture of fruits and vegetables of your choice. Any amount any quantity. No bananas yet and no potatoes today.

DAY FOUR
Banana and milk. Today you will eat as many as eight bananas and drink three glasses of milk. You can also have 1 bowl of vegetable soup.

DAY FIVE
Today is a feast day. You will eat one cup of rice. You also have to eat six whole tomatoes and drink 12 glasses of water today to cleanse your system of the excess uric acid you will be producing.

DAY SIX
Today is another all vegetables day. You must eat 1 cup of rice today and eat all the vegetables you want cooked and uncooked to your hearts content.

DAY SEVEN
Today your food intake will consist of one cup of rice, fruit juice and the vegetables you care to consume. Tomorrow morning you will be five to eight kgs. Lighter than one week ago.

If you desire further weight loss repeat the program again. Repeat the programme as often as you like, however, it is suggested that you rest for 3 days before every repetition. You have your system under control now and it will thank you for all the cleaning you just gave it. Even more than a diet program it is good to follow this diet once in a while to clean your digestive system and remove toxic substances that have accumulated in the system.

Additional Comments
The most important element of the program is the 10 tall glasses of water a day you can also flavour the water with some lemon to make drinking easier. While on the program, take only black coffee and never more than one teaspoon of oil. Preferably do not use oil because the high caloric content. No fruit juice before day seven.

HERE IS WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR BODY WHILE YOU ARE ON THIS PROGRAM AND HOW AND WHY IT WORKS

Day 1
You are preparing your system for the upcoming programme. You only source of nutrition is fresh fruits. Fruits are natures perfect food. They provide everything you can possibly want to sustain life except total balance and variety.

Day 2
Starts with a fix of complex carbohydrates in the form of a boiled potato. This is taken in the form of a boiled potato and taken in the morning to provide energy and balance. The rest of the day too consists of vegetables which are virtually caloric free and provide essential nutrients and fibre.

Day 3
Eliminate the potato because you get your carbohydrates from fruits. Your system is now prepared to start burning excess pounds. You will have cravings which should start to diminish by day four.

Day 4
Bananas and milk. You are in for a surprise. You probably will not be able to eat all the bananas allowed. But they are there for the potassium you have lost and the sodium you may have missed the last 3 days. You will notice a definite loss of desire for sweets and you will be surprised at how easy this day will go.

Day 5
Rice and tomatoes. The rice is for the carbohydrates and the tomatoes are for the digestion and the fibre. Lots and lots of water purifies your system. You should notice colourless urine today. Do not feel you have to eat one cup rice. You may eat less. But you may eat 6 tomatoes.

Day 6
It is similar to day 5. Vitamins and fibre from the vegetables and carbohydrates from the rice. By now your system is in a total weight loss inclination. There should be noticeable difference in the way you look today compared to day one.

Day 7
You may celebrate with champagne. You may also have wine instead of champagne, but in all practical programs and in all surveys done to measure the success of the program.

More than one cup of coffee with milk is especially forbidden. Milk and oil add empty calories to your diet. Avid coffee lovers can console themselves with black coffee. However after the first week, it will help your digestion and set your stomach. The key thing to remember is that if you are hungry at any time, there you are not following the diet correctly. Almost all people give up the diet when they are hungry, because of the dieting. The secret of this program is that you should never be hungry. If it is a vegetable day, eat as much vegetables that you are never hungry. If it is the fruits day eat as much fruits that you are never hungry. You can take any amount of GM wonder soup on any day.

The following soup is intended as a supplement to your diet. It can be eaten any time of day in virtually unlimited quantities. You are encouraged to drink large quantities of this soup.

23 Oz. Water; 6 large onions; 2 green peppers; 3 tomatoes; 1 cabbage; 1 bunch celery, add herbs and seasoning as desired.

This program is highly recommended for women and men above 40 years age for whom excess weight is especially dangerous. Excess weight in women aggravates arthritis problem and leads to rapid joint decay. Pain and joint deterioration can be lessened by weight loss as weight loss removes the stress on the knee joint. Excess weight is the most critical factor in keeping good health and excess weight is responsible for the most problems including coronary disease, heart problems, arthritis and cancer among other serious life threatening diseases. Most serious health problems can be controlled by maintaining ideal weight. Daily exercise of 20 minutes is also essential. Do not tire yourself out but being regular in exercise and maintaining an ideal diet goes along way to ensure happy and healthy long life.

#36 by dmyb31, Aug 10, 2008
I was a bit skeptical of this diet....I can usually gain or loose wait pretty fast, but was unsure. I just started day 7 and have lost at least 8 or so lbs. This diet is a great and healthy way to loose weight as it gives you a new way to eat healthy. The only day that was tough for me was day 2. I felt weak (almost flu like) and didn't really eat that much. Went to bed early and woke up just fine. This diet is great and it helped and my girlfriend find new ways to eat healthy. By the way, on day 6, try a taco salad. Lean ground beef (cooked with just a pinch of taco seasoning, 2 diced fresh tomatoes, lettuce and a bit of taco salsa. It was great!!!!
#37 by dmyb31, Aug 10, 2008
P.S. This diet will work with no cheating!!!!! You can do anything you put your mind to and its ONLY 7 DAYS!!!
#38 by Gogol, Aug 11, 2008
I’m on Day 2. Yesterday at the end of the day I got a slight headache — could not drink all that water!
Others on Day 2 have you lost any weight so far? Those who are also on Day 2 and want to follow along with me for the rest of the 5 days, check out my GM diet experience on my blog.

best of luck you guys!

#39 by John Waats, Aug 12, 2008
Are Mangos allowed as part of the fruits consumption.

Regards
#40 by Jennie, Aug 12, 2008
I'm interested in trying this diet, but I HATE raw tomatoes and they are a big part of day 5. Anyone have a suggestion about how to substitute something else for them? Or, could I cook them?
#41 by Abby, Aug 14, 2008
hey,

i am doing this diet and today i am on my fifth day, but all i lost is 1 kg so far. how can people loss 17 pounds with this diet? or it depends on the person's body????
#42 by Azi, Aug 16, 2008
I have been strictly following this diet for the last 7 days, exercising aerobics for 5 days (30 minutes each), but I only lost 6 pounds. But, my co-worker told me that he lost 15 pounds. I am a bit confused, but all I can say is may be it depends on your body type or metabolism.

Regarding your question (John Watts), yes, you can use Mangos and all other fruits except Banana for the fruit days (1st day and 3rd day).
#43 by Lak, Aug 17, 2008
This "diet" is a hoax. Any diet will work for 10 days; the key is whether it will keep the weight off.

#46 by WWdebbie, Aug 26, 2008
I have done weight watchers for the past several years. I lost all I needed to and kept it off for 2 1/2 years. I turned 40 and did not follow as close as I should so...... I slowly gained about 13 lbs. I did the GM diet to jump start me agian. Lost 3 lbs. the first day and have lost a total of 7 by day 4. I plan to maintain the loss by going back on WW when done with this week. I love the Banana day.... Cut up and freez some bananas on night 3. Blend frozen bananas with ice, milk and some splenda...... SOOOOO GOOOD.
#47 by TMAC, Aug 28, 2008
I AM ON DAY 4 BANANA DAY...I HAVE ALREADY LOST 4 1/2 POUNDS AND I FEEL GREAT. IM GOING BACK TO WORKING OUT BECAUSE I NOW HAVE THE ENERGY TO DO IT. ALSO I HATE BANANA'S AND MILK BUT IF YOU TAKE IT AND PUT IT INTO A BLENDER WITH A CUP OF ICE(NOTHING ELSE) IT WAS GREAT. i DONT THINK IT WILL BE HARD TO KEEP UP WITH THIS DIET.
#48 by tmac, Aug 28, 2008

completed the diet 2 times now in the last 3 months... reduced in total 7 kgs.. GM is a good and an efficient diet plan.
one thing i have learned is that you need to watch what you eat once you have finished 7 days of dieting.. keep away from a lot of sugar, cholocates, fried...
not keeping the diet maintained and start to have fatty/junk food from day 8 onwards can lead to putting weight back again very easily...
also running, swimming and cycling can help loose an extra 1-2 kgs.

I am starting the GM diet today. I just hate eating fruits, but have got apples and orange juice to have today. I know juices are forbidden, but its a freshly squeezed orange juice, so I guess won't be that big of a problem?
I wanted to ask that having the soup...is it really that important??? Can't I get away with eating lots of cabbage?? Plz suggest?

I feel this is the best way of self control over your diet,thank god I was able to go through for the last five day's . Ifeel that surely by seventh day I will lose 7-8 kilos .

bad news - there is nothing like GM diet. GM has not approved it neither has FDA. there is no link with GM to it. bus naam padgaya hai to chali ja rha hai
good news - it works.. it does wonders... m on day one.. headaches of course come in the begining.. due to the blood suger level dipping suddenly.. banana day should make it fine...

cheers guys
#71 by luc, Oct 30, 2008
i did that once.
i dont go to office but i was already going to gym regularly .3rd day of diet ,i stopped gym as i lost all of my energy.
I dint feel like eating bananas whole day ,or rice-dry veg so was not eating even upto recommended levels and dint lose a pound like people saying lost 2 Kgs in 3rd day.then finally 5th day i lost my patience.
Even if its taking out body pounds, that is only because of starving and is not a healthy way.i had headaches and irritating feeling all the week.
#72 by lee2939, Nov 7, 2008

100% reccommend it.

more diets ...
#74 by Yuv, Nov 10, 2008
Hey I started this diet on Saturday (Nov 8) so far so good...have managed it without too many temptations except like 4 spoons of rice and a lemonade till now. Do u think I have mucked it big time or there's still hope for redemptions? No difference in weight till now?
Btw end of day 3 i had this craving for carbs, but got over with some veggies :(
Btw any substiute for bananas on the fourth day...i just hate them!
#75 by shobie, Nov 12, 2008

who os ever i've discussed bout this plan ppl ve been discouraging n v strongly suggested me not to go for it ....:(
but still il give it a try ....
wish me luck!!
jst one question .......is thr ne restriction on amount of salt n spices too??
#77 by Sheetu, Nov 17, 2008
Hey Sinni, good luck for your diet. Me too starting it on Monday for the second time. Just ignore other people\'s warning. If you follow it properly, you\'ll never have headaches or hunger pangs. Stick to the plan. Stock your refrigerator with all the veggies and fruits you can find. Don\'t skimp. Eat as much as you can of fruits and vegs. Don\'t cheat..
The first day is not easy as fruits are sweet and you would crave for salt. But you can have GM wonder soup anytime(I use lots of spring onion, coriander to make it tasty). Make a bowlful in the morning and whenever you crave for salt, have a bit of it. That will see you through the day without having to break any rules.
Never mind if you fail on the first day. Starting allover on second day is a lot easier because your body is getting into that rhythm.
A good technique to start dieting is to get mentally prepared by altering your diet 2-3 days ahead by substituting one meal with all fruit/salad.
During the diet I used to reward myself with a small chapati(no ghee) at night. It worked!
Strictly follow the water intake requirement. It keeps you feeling fresh.
For seasoning, use very little salt. As for the spices, within 2 days you\'ll become so fond of the natural freshness of foods, spices will repulse you.
