GM Diet - Final Result

March 11th, 2009

Though I have not followed through all eleven days as mentioned in the ebook, here are the results I have achieved at the end of my GM diet period:

Weight before GM diet : 82 Kilograms
Weight after GM diet (7 days) : 79.5 Kilograms

So, is this good? Can’t say. I believe the ebook course does work if taken sincerely through all eleven days of the course. However, one problem is that the food gets kind of boring as you go by. Or maybe I did not pay enough attention to details. I took plain raw vegetables on days I was advised vegetables. Or should I have cooked them well and had tasty food? I do not know. I should probably sit through the ebook again. But that is for another day when I am motivated enough to restart the entire GM diet program.

GM Diet - Day Seven

March 7th, 2009

Well, I am not happy with the progress. My stomach is craving for the delicious food I so dearly miss. It’s been six days since I started with the GM diet program. Have seen quite a bit of success so far. Some days, I was real cautious about how to manage my routine. Other days, I have given the actual GM diet prescription a miss and went about creating my own diet plan. So, to be fair, the diet has given me a little return for the little effort I put (or did not). I have lost 2.5 kilograms till now, which is good. Let me push forth what I did for the diet today.

0900 Hrs : Had brown rice mixed with baked potato smash. Wow, felt really good having rice after such a long time!

1315 Hrs : Four glasses of water till now. Now one nice glass of orange juice.

1345 Hrs : More rice…I am eating like a starved child…

1800 Hrs : Walked down the office to have a glass of grape juice. Without sugar!

2100 Hrs : Will eat more rice and half a glass of milk before I rest for the day.

GM Diet - Day Six

March 6th, 2009

Wow..It’s already day six..And I am yet to show much results..I have lost 2 kilos till now. I know its good, but still I am nowhere close to what was assured by the book. I am not complaining. I know I did not follow the GM diet prescriptions strictly. I just glanced through and made my own adjustments, but still I think it would work perfect if you follow all things as prescribed. Today is again meat stuff, and I am going to make my own adjustments yet again because I don’t eat meat. So, here is what I did:

0910 Hrs : Had one bowl of soya, and one carrot. I was just wondering that it’s been quite sometime since I had salt in my food! Blame the GM diet routine. One glass of water..

1200 Hrs : Two and a half glasses of water till now. Had a bowl of raw cabbage. I’ve become a cow! :(

1530 Hrs : Five glasses of water done. Had half a bowl of soya..Again, I know..

1800 Hrs : I so much wanted to eat egg. “Ok, just a few more days to go..”, I thought. But guess what, I ended up laying my hands on an egg-puff..Sh!t…

2100 Hrs : Will gulp in whatever water is remaining to be drunk for my today’s GM diet schedule, munch in a few carrots and cabbage and sleep.

GM Diet - Day Five

March 5th, 2009

I am not too excited today. I know I have not been following all that I was advised in the ebook as-is. But I think I was close enough. I did have sometimes more than what was advised, and sometimes less. So maybe that is the reason why I have not lost as much as I thought I should have. I have not lost much weight since yesterday. Anyway, I am continuing with the program. Anything I lose is bonus, right? So I will try to stick to the GM diet plan as much as possible. And anyway today, I have had to veer a bit off because today was supposed to be a day of non-vegetarian feast, and I don’t eat meat :(

0845 Hrs : Feast day. But, I am vegan and so it is going to be less celebratory. I am supposed to increase my water intake today by a couple of glasses, and also consume at least six tomatoes. So in the morning, I start with two tomatoes and quite a bit of soya nuggets. Come to think of it, this is all I am going to have for the rest of the day as well..ohh..

1100 Hrs : Not sure if I can have the soup today. Nothing was mentioned explicitly in the ebook. But I still had one large bowl of GM Diet wonder soup. I was supposed to have lots of fluid today, and I think this too will help.

1445 Hrs : Have been compensating for the less quantity food today with water. Anyway, my appetite is not what it used to be earlier. Had a bowl more of soya nuggets and two more tomatoes.

1800 Hrs : More soya..Have had eleven glasses of water already

2030 Hrs : I am planning to go to bed early. So will have two tomatoes, half a bowl of soya and a glass of water.

GM Diet - Day Four

March 4th, 2009

Wow…I have lost 2.5 kilograms till now!!! That explains why I have been feeling light over the past few hours..Now, this is great motivation for me to keep going. Besides today it is going to be interesting. Only bananas and milk. With that, unlimited quantities of what is called the wonder soup. I shall write a new post only explaining how to make the GM diet wonder soup made! So, here’s the day for you.

0900 Hrs : A bit late start today. Had two bananas. One glass of skimmed milk. The plan today is to split the eight bananas I am supposed to have today in pairs of two. And have the three skimmed milk glasses one in the morning, one in the noon and one in the evening. At all other times, shall have the GM diet wonder soup to supplement.

1030 Hrs : One full bowl of the GM wonder soup. Have it hot, it tastes tremendously delicious.

1300 Hrs : Have had three glasses of water till now. Had two more bananas. And half glass water.

1430 Hrs : One glass of skimmed milk.

1600 Hrs : I love the GM diet program. There is always something to eat and relish. Had one more bowl of the GM wonder soup.

1830 Hrs : Have had seven glasses of water till now. More GM diet wonder soup, not a great quantity, but thought let me drink a little more.

2100 Hrs : That’s an hour and a half from now. Will be having two bananas and one glass of skimmed milk then. Kind of a Balanced diet before I hit the sack for the day. End of Day four of the GM diet schedule.

GM Diet - Day Three

March 3rd, 2009

Today has been good. I am already feeling like I am losing weight. Haven’t checked it as yet. Will do it tomorrow. The past two days have been good. I have followed the regimen quite fruitfully (no pun intended). Now, five more days of GM diet to go. Today it was supposed to be a mixture of fruits and vegetables but without any potatoes or bananas. Great..Let me get started then..

0820 Hrs : Had two apples. It seemed like more than enough today. I just flashback to the first day..Looks like I am in the right direction. Yesterday did not have a proper frequency of water, I felt. It is extremely important to have good quantities of water for the GM diet to be effective. So I had 1.5 glasses of water.

1100 Hrs : One peeled cucumber. It has started getting hot outside, so it was inevitable but to have some cucumbers too. Makes you feel so cool. And one glass of water.

1400 Hrs : Wanted to have something fibrous. So opted for carrot (aren’t they one?). Had two raw carrots. Ever since I started this GM diet program, I am starting to opt for the raw varieties rather than the cooked ones. Have started to like them too..I had already had another 3 glasses of water till now.

1630 Hrs : My friend had got some oranges for me. Just had one in order to keep the foods going in. Was not really hungry though.

1900 Hrs : Have had eight glasses of water till now. Had one orange and one apple. My dinner is not over yet ;)

2000 Hrs : Busy chronicling my day’s story…

2130 Hrs : Will have another apple or so, drink the remaining quota of water and then go to sleep.

GM Diet - Day Two

March 2nd, 2009

Wow, yesterday has been great. I do not know if I am lighter today, but definitely hungrier. Well, not exactly hungrier, but my craving to the wonderful food that I am otherwise used to is getting on me. Nevertheless, I am determined to carry my GM diet through the period of seven days. So, here is what I have had today.

Today, GM diet prescribes all vegetables. No fruits.

0800 Hrs : Had two baked potatoes. I was not feeling much hungry before breakfast. But I guess the two baked potatoes that I had triggered the hunger. I was feeling quite a bit hungry when I finished it. But then, thought let me hold my consumption for sometime. Made it up by having a good 1.5 glasses of water.

1030 Hrs : Two carrots. I love having them raw, and used to munch one even as a young boy wathing mom cooking. So, when hungry, have carrots as much as you please! ;)

1400 Hrs : Tried to hold my hunger for sometime, and then again reminded myself that GM diet is not about starving yourself but eating the right food everyday for the week’s period. So, rushed in to have a good quantity of the vegetable stew that I had already got prepared.

1830 Hrs : One carrot. This besides I had a glass of water too. Two more glasses of water to go to complete my daily quota of ten glasses of water for the GM diet program.

1945 Hrs : That’s now..I am typing, as you can see ;)

2100 Hrs : Will have a bowl of raw cabbage and one carrot to complete my day.

GM Diet - Day One

March 1st, 2009

Today is supposed to be all fruits. For some specific reason, I was asked not to have bananas though. Anyway,I am not a great fan of bananas. Hey, did I tell you, no alcohol consumption throughout the GM diet program! okay?

So, for the GM diet today, I had all the lovely fruits I liked.

0800 Hrs : I had two apples as early as eight in the morning. I wanted to also have some milk or coffee, but was not sure if I can have them. So, I just thought I could restrict myself to just what I have been told. It is just a week, mate!

1100 Hrs : I was already hungry. I am a voracious eater and I am not used to this 2 apples a morning thingie..And besides, the GM diet never advocates you to starve..So, here I was, munching on a few melons at 11. As a matter of fact, melons are specifically advocated for you on the first day of GM diet.

1515 Hrs : LOL, this was not as bad as I expected, I was not feeling hungry, but I sure missed the spicy stuff that I otherwise fill my mouth with. Wanted to munch a few wafers of ‘Lays’…Ok, I was able to resist the temptation

1530 Hrs : I cannot control this. My craving for something spicy gave way to hunger. I had two guavas. I had all kinds of fruit ready! ;)

1845 Hrs : Dont know why I was trying to bear my hunger and starve. GM Diet is not meant to be that way. So, when the realization dawned upon me, I got my hand on an orange and another guava.

1930 Hrs : That’s NOW. I am typing this blog

2130 Hrs : Will have a couple of more apples and go to sleep after an hour or so.

GM Diet - Day Zero

February 28th, 2009

I was suggested to try the GM diet by my friend. This is not too difficult to try out since this does not require you to run a thousand miles everyday to burn calories or starve to death while you watch others eating and enjoying food.

I am told that I can eat full and as much as I would want to. Just that the GM diet has a restriction on what to eat and when to eat it. The GM diet is planned to span over a period of 7-10 days, so a week is something I can always cut down on things I eat if that can get me to lose some pounds of flesh that I have so unnecessarily accumulated. So let’s see how it goes..The GM Diet - Day One starts tomorrow!
