Since this article is very long, we have created the below table of content to allow you to jump to any section directly.

We are pretty sure most of you must be new to the term GM Diet. Hence, let us give you a brief introduction to this routine. The term GM diet came into existence somewhere in the year 1985. It is said that GM stands for General Motors (An automobile manufacturing company) and it came up with this diet plan to ensure that its employees are in best shape and health. GM collaborated with the US FDA and Department of Agriculture to study this diet plan and got it tested for efficiency at the Hopkins Research Centre. Now all this being said, there is no documented evidence that it was actually General Motors that came up with this diet plan. GM spokespersons have repeatedly denied that there is no such thing as a GM Diet Plan and hence, no one knows why it called the GM Diet plan. It is also popularly called as the Sacred Heart Diet or the Cabbage Soup Diet.

Now, if you remember, we said we will share with you the 7 Day GM Diet – “Indian Version”. The globally followed GM diet plan includes non-vegetarian components for its Day 5 and Day 6 diet plan. However, since many Indians have several restrictions when it comes to a non-veg diet; the GM plan was slightly modified and made vegetarian to suit our needs. With this simple substitution, we got the 7 Day GM Diet which turns out to be the best Indian vegetarian diet to Lose Weight.

How does the GM Diet work?

You might be wondering how one can lose about 7 kg of weight in just a week right. The answer lies in its ingredients. The diet plan follows a sequence and subjects your body to a different set of ingredients that boost your body’s metabolism and help in flushing out the waste and toxins i.e. a thorough detoxification. The ingredients have been selected such that they burn more calories and thus, avoid deposition of fat in your body. After 7 days, your body tends to have a rejuvenated metabolism and digestive system. You feel light, energetic and you are in a better shape.

Prepare yourself for the 7 Day GM diet

There are some things that you need to keep in mind before you start with your 7 Day routine.

• Water Intake:

One of the requirements for the success of the GM diet is excessive intake of water. Ideal consumption is to have at least 8-10 glasses of water a day. If you are not used to having large amounts of water then it might get difficult for you to instantly start having 10 glasses once on the GM diet. So, prepare your body for it. In a week or two prior to the start of the GM diet, gradually start increasing your water consumption. This will prepare your body for the targeted week.

• No alcohol:

The GM diet is basically a restart for your entire metabolism. It flushes your entire gut and thus, alcohol consumption is to be avoided. Alcohol causes water retention in the body and thus, it will drastically reduce the efficiency of the entire plan. Stop having alcohol at least a week prior to the targeted day so that your body is completely free of alcohol. While on the plan, have as much water as possible. Additionally, you can have Black tea or coffee and green tea without any added sugar.

• Stock your house:

GM Diet involves good amounts of fruits and vegetables. Hence, make sure that your refrigerator is stocked well for the upcoming days. It is advisable to have a variety of vegetables and fruits so that you get a holistic diet. GM Diet does not put a restriction on the consumption of fruits and vegetables. You can have as such as you want throughout the day. Hence, buy a good quantity for yourself. (We will share with you below the list of vegetables and fruits you should go for).

• Consult your physician:

GM Diet Plan subjects your body to something that you are not used to. If you are healthy and simply need to lose weight then this is a perfect way out for you. However, if you have medical conditions like diabetes, hyper or hypo tension, heart conditions, you are pregnant or a lactating mother, then it is better to consult your doctor before starting with the GM diet. Consult with your doctor what vegetables and fruits you can have, whether you can have your medicines along with such a plan etc.

• Exercise:

GM is a cleansing process for your body. You restrict certain ingredient and have certain ingredients in excess. To make sure that your body copes up with this well, try to exercise for around 30 to 45 minutes each day. This will loosen up your muscles and prevent any kind of fatigue. Start this routine a week prior so that your body is not cramped in the targeted week.

This is a detailed layout of your 7 Day GM Diet Plan – Indian Version or Vegetarian Version. If you are able to keep complete this successfully then nothing can keep you from losing 2 to 7 kg in just a week. It might sound miraculous, but GM diet is based on a very simple concept that if you burn more than you eat then you will lose weight. By limiting your food intake, you ensure that the body is burning all the possible accumulated glycogen and calories thus, promoting your weight loss.

Things to remember:

• 7 days complete one GM cycle. You can subject your body through as many cycles as you want. Just ensure that there is a gap of 2 to 3 days between two 7 Day Plans.
• Whether you are on a diet plan or not, you need to have sufficient amount of water. Keeping your body well hydrated is one of the pre-requisites of good health. Have around 8 glasses of water at least on your regular days. The more the better.
• It is better to have some amount of exercise each day to maintain a healthy body. To ensure that the effect of the GM diet stays for long, exercise for at least 30 to 45 minutes a day.

Pros and Cons of GM Diet:

Although the GM diet does a great job, it is not completely flawless. There are some pluses and some minuses as well.

Pros:

• • The biggest advantage is that the GM Diet Plan can be followed by anyone. Be it a student, a housewife or an elderly person. Since, it simply controls and modifies what you eat, its applicability is impressive.
  • Another positive thing is that, it surely has helped a lot of people is losing weight. Even though there is no documented evidence, people who have followed a GM Diet plan have definitely seen great results.
  • You have to rely on fruits and vegetables and sprouts that are easily available in a local market. Hence, preparing for the diet is not actually a hassle. Compared to the paid weight loss plans, GM Diet Plan is freely available on the net and the ingredients are not that expensive.

Cons:

• • The most bothersome disadvantage of a GM Diet plan is the bounce back effect. People have definitely lost weight while on the diet plan. However, once they resumed their regular diet and life, their body bounced back to the original weight. Thus, it can be said that even after the plan is over, you have to monitor your diet and lifestyle strictly to have a long term effect.
  • You may get headaches and muscle cramps in the first 3 days of the Diet Plan. Depriving your body completely of carbs and proteins in the first 3 days has its effect on the muscles. You need to be physically active to overcome the cramping.
  • While you do have a lot of fruits and vegetables, you deprive your body of protein and fats which are also very essential for the body. Hence, following a GM Diet plan repeatedly can definitely cause nutritional deficiencies.
  • The cabbage soup that is highly prescribed is very rich in sodium. Having large amounts for longer duration can again lead to nutritional deficiencies as increased sodium will cause excretion of other elements. Increase sodium can also be problematic hypertensive patients.

To sum it up, we would say that such a promising plan is definitely worth a try. If bounce back effect is a concern, then ensure that follow the principle of a healthy lifestyle and a balanced diet. It is not difficult to plan your dietary and exercise routines. You can do at least this much for a great and admirable physique right?

So what are you waiting for? Your dream physique is not that far after all. Get on the GM diet Plan and shed those extra kilos from your body in just 7 Days. We are sure that you can do it! All the Best.
