The title of this blog should give you an idea of what I have been doing the past couple days. I have been on the GM diet since Friday. I was planning to do the diet but not at this moment. A friend of mine kind of sprung it on me Thursday night that we were going to start it Friday.
So what is the GM diet? It was a diet that General Motors came up with for there workers. Each day you eat different things. Basically it is a cleanse and so far it has been for sure!
Friday was the first day. On that day you are only able to eat fruit, any fruit except bananas. You can drink black tea and black coffee but no fruit juices. They also say you should drink 10 glasses of water each day on the diet.
The first day for me honestly sucked. I love fruit but when that is the only thing you can eat you want everything that you cant eat! I wanted Chinese food that day just because I couldn't have it and I hadn't had any in over a month! Also that night every commercial seems to be about food. Normally a Friday night I will either go out and have a few drinks or we watch the food network. Neither one we could do. The food network would just be torture for us and going to a bar is a no no.
The second day was all veggies. We started the day eating a big baked potato. We could have a pat of butter which should have been about a teaspoon but we had about a tablespoon. It still wasn't enough butter for my taste but it worked. I also put White Cheddar seasoning salt that normally goes on popcorn on my potato. You can have any seasoning and it was really good. I took a very long nap that afternoon so I only had one other meal that day. I ate a can of artichoke hearts with a Roma tomato and mushrooms. It wasn't bad. Later we made popcorn cauliflower. It didn't taste anything like popcorn and I didn't like it. You put olive oil and salt over the cauliflower that is in bite size pieces and you bake it. I wouldn't do it again.
Today, the third day is veggies and fruit except bananas and potatoes. So far the day is going well but I really want a slice of homemade bread, just out of the oven! I think that is the one thing I miss the most. Bread! What I wouldn't give for a slice of bread right now.
So three days in and I haven't cheated yet. Tomorrow is bananas and milk day. I can eat up to 8 bananas. I thought about getting almond milk but I think I will just stop by and pick up a couple bottles of milk since I really don't drink milk anyhow. I don't want to buy something and have it go bad which it would. Tomorrow we can also have a cabbage soup. I think out of all the days on this diet the 4th day will be the worst. I cant think about being at work and just having bananas all day.
I will keep you all updated on how things go. You can lose anywhere between 10 to 17 lbs for this week that you are on the diet. Once the week is up you can do it again but not for several weeks. Hopefully I can stick to this because I don't think I want to do it again.
