The GM diet is a seven-day plan that involves a sequential consumption of fruits, vegetables, starch and meat. While it has grown popular as a diet fad, this diet at the same time has benefited different types of health buffs and diet enthusiasts and not to mention hardcore vegetarians and vegans.
Vegetarian Version Of the GM Diet
The typical GM Diet requires you to eat meat as part of the diet plan. Obviously this is not an option for strict vegetarians and vegans. This is why you have a slightly modified version, one that is completely vegetarian version of the same GM Diet.
The vegetarian version of GM Diet plan is used by vegetarians and vegans not only as a form of weight loss but as a maintenance method to keep the body slim and proportional. It is also great way to practice eating vegetables and limited amounts of meat until such time that the person on the diet finally gets rid of all meat and eggs in his or her system.
GM Diet Vegetarian Preparation
To prepare for the vegetarian GM diet plan it is important not to consume alcohol a few days before and during the diet schedule. This is because alcohol increases the body’s uric acid content which in turn leads to water retention and blocks the natural detoxifying processes from taking place.
Drinking up to 10 glasses of water is recommended for GM diet practitioners. Since they will not be consuming as much carbohydrates as they normally do, water would serve as their main source of energy throughout the day. Water also speeds up metabolic processes in the body and through this the unwanted pounds can be eliminated naturally.
To those who have already been through this diet plan, it is advised to take a 2-3 day break away before resuming the method. This is to allow the body to fully adjust to its new nutritional intake system and not get overwhelmed with the sudden change of events.
Schedule for GM Diet Vegetarian
Similar to the typical GM Diet, the vegetarian version of GM diet also requires you to follow a seven-day schedule
- Day 1. Only fruits. Just like in the regular GM diet, only fruits are allowed to be consumed on the first day. All fruits can be consumed in generous quantities except for bananas, as they are high in carbohydrates and potassium. Water intake should also be observed at 10-12 glasses during the whole day.
- Day 2. The second day involves potato and vegetables. A cup of baked potato would serve as the body’s main energy source for the day, and then it can be followed up with vegetable dishes during lunch and dinner. Vegetable soup is highly powerful during this day, as it provides all the energy the body would need.
- Day 3. Fruit and vegetables. Fruits and vegetables may be served the whole day, from breakfast to dinner, including midday snacks. Fruit juice can also be taken aside from water, although no bananas or potatoes are allowed.
- Day 4. Bananas and milk. Banana and milk combos may be consumed all day, with vegetable soup servings during lunch and dinner. Banana and milk may be taken in the form of shakes, during breakfast and midday snacks.
- Day 5. White rice or brown rice or legumes and tomatoes. Instead of beef, rice or legumes is used on Day 5. One cup of rice is good to last for the day together with tomatoes in order to induce cleansing. Also each meat replacement meal needs GOOD FAT like ghee, olive oil or butter.
- Day 6. White rice or brown rice or legumes with good fat and vegetables. On this day mixed vegetables may be consumed all day, together with one cup of rice.
- Day 7. Up to two cups of white rice or brown rice or legumes with good fat may be consumed, together with fruit and vegetable servings.
By the end of Day 7, you should be feeling much lighter and look more glowing. This is because the detoxification effects have already taken place and the body has already shed off at least 2-3 kg or about 10 lbs.

can i substitute chicken instead of beef?? or on the 4rth day am i not allowed to any any friut like water melon or cantaloupe only banana??
Hi, today is my 5th day of diet and I have lost 2 kgs. though I m very happy but was targeting for total 5 kgs. I am following the diet very strictly. but what happens when I cook something for family I take a bite or two to taste as it satisfies my inner desire to eat normal food. I know it is not ok but wanted to check will affect me adversely?
Also on 5th day when we have to eat 1 bowl of rice , I bowl means raw or cooked rice?
Hey, today is my first day of the GM diet. I’m 17 basically and i wish to lose around 3-4kgs! it took me a lot of time to gain the will power of doing this and i finally completed the fruit day! I just had 1 banana and 5 almonds and also I did a bit of exercise! Is it bad or manageable? Please reply asap! Can i continue ?
1 bowl of cooked rice…take 1 cup of raw rice which comes to be 1 bowl of cooked rice..sounds very less..hence, drink plenty of water to keep u satisfied
Hi..
I’m on my 4th day.. Very good till now.. Just a bit confused for the next 3 days diet..
For 5th day, I see you have replied to many question with replacing eggs for beef..
For my fifth day, can I have this?
Breakfast : 3 boiled eggs, with 2 tomatoes raw.
Lunch : 1 bowl of rice with 3 tomatoes and cucumber
Dinner : Paneer/Cottage cheese with tomatoes.
Lots of water of course..
Also, can I follow the same meal plan for 6th day and please suggest if any alteration is needed for 6th and 7th day as well. Thanks.
looks fine for days 5 and r, lunch needs good fat. Day 7, NO, please read that day carefully here, it is not like days 5 and 6
Yes you can use chicken instead of beef.
Nope – 4t day is purely Banana & Milk
sam u r giving answer to so may persons plese reply me
can i take tea with this plan
can i use salt with veg.
You can use salt, but as less as possible.
Hi Deep Sea,
I am following GM diet, i m on my 4th day today (banana n milk day). As mentioned in the diet plan i am not feeling hungry like i was feeling for last three days. But when ppl around me eat delicious food (Pakoda’s samosa etc) i feel very tempted. BUt i did not give up my diet
My query here is –
what is it after 7days.????
I have heard ppl telling that “you will loose weight for sure in GM diet but you will gain back the same once you start eating”
so i m really worried…..
I know if ppl start hogging everything which they did not eat during this diet later then they will surely gain weight (than before)
We can continue this diet plan for ever right..
so please suggest me a vegi diet plan after GM diet to keep up this fitness….
Can we have moong sprouts on vegetable days if yes then us there any limit to it and if salt and pepper ok with it
Can we have green tea at all?
NO, problem is when you say sprouts I think long green sprouts with no beans. Problem is folks on the diet eat beans with tiny little sprouts. If they are long fresh greens then yes.
I have allergy to bananas. Is there any substitute.
In place of milk, can we have curd.
For milk, should it be toned or double toned.
Hi Sandeep, milk should be skimmed(1%) or maximum semi skimmed(2%).
Curd is rich in fat. It should not be used.
This is great thank you for taking the time to figure out a vegetarian version of the GM diet. So many modern diets are off limit to vegetarians, so it is great to find one that is not.
Hi I was just wondering, since beef in this diet is for protein, can it be substituted for Egg whites or the non fried soya burger patties available in many supermarkets around the world? I feel a bit guilty since I had 4-5 quarter pounders of such patties yesterday. Is wonder soup an important element of the diet? And does one just shed water weight in this diet like some websites have published or is it something that one can maintain by eating healthy consistently?
The wonder soup is just to break the monotony of fruits or vegetables or whatever at the end of the day.
GM diet is not just a water-shedded-weight loss. There is no mention of restricting the water intake on any day. How can one lose only water if we are consuming at least 10-14 glasses of water every day, added with the unlimited quantity of soup and the water contained in the melons, fruits and vegetables? It basically acts on the principle of ‘negative calorie foods’ where you are consuming certain foods that demand more calories to burn themselves than what they provide themselves. High-fiber food stuffs you but doesn’t provide the required calories, instead demands more calories to burn themselves, which is derived from the stored energy-deposits.
Hi, thanks for doing this great job of putting together all the information about GM diet.
If possible please try to do the vegetarian break down for every meal of the day ( Like for breakfast, lunch and dinner ).
Hi There,
I have been following this plan from past 3 weeks. I have some questions. Please reply.
1. How many times we can follow this program?
2. What should be the gap in between?
3. I have not reduced much weight whic was 97 kg in the begining and now is 94 kg, but my waist size has reduced a lot which was 42″ in the start and now is 37″, also I have started getting compliments now that I am looking slimmer. Please tell me why my wieght is not reducing less?
4. Do I need to have Banana and milk together or can they be taken differently?
5. Do brown rice or cottage cheese provide same amount of protien as of Beef?
Hi Kanwaljit great u r able to follow for 3 weeks m tryn to start this diet plan tmrw onwards tried 3 times before could not do it can v hav tea n small amount of sprouts. N yes i had doule chin i exrcised a bit with neck n stopped havn pillow.
1. You are supposed to give atleast a break of 2 weeks between two diets.
2. In between have food that contains more fat and calories. If you are an India, you can have dry phulka or roti. Olive oil can be used but in very less quantity.
3. The minimum weight loss is 5 kgs and maximum weight loss is 8kgs. So, you got to be happy because you have followed diet properly and you can always repeat GM diet after giving a healthy gap between 2 diets.
4. I am right now on GM Diet and on 3rd day. Tomorrow is a day of Banana and milk. Unfortunately, I don’t like both. There is a south Indian dish called ‘Rasayana’ which is prepared by mixing milk, banana and sugar. it’s delicious. But in place of sugar, one can add sugar free tablets and have it. I am sure you will love it!
5. As I am a vegetarian, I don’t really have a clue about beef.
Cheers!
P.S. Also I have a double chin, which is not reducing, can you please provide an anwer how to reduce or remove it?

Richa,
Probably you are not following the diet properly. Eat what you are supposed to eat. Strictly avoid Restaurant food. If you don’t follow diet properly, you will end up gaining more weight than you were before. So, just take care because all these days of efforts should not go vain.
Use salt as less as possible.
Hello..I am interested in following this plan..but I am very much prone to acidity..so I am really sceptic about how would I be able to cope up with the 5th day’s schedule, wherein i need to be eating so many tomatoes…Any suggestions/ a way out to this problem while following the diet plan??
Ruhi,
It would be better if you consult a dietician before starting diet.
Take care.

Hello,
Please send me vegeterian GM diet plan.
Hello Prerna, here it is!
No crash dieting, only proper dieting
This is an extract of ‘weight loss diet’ circulated by many companies and banks among its employees in USA & India. This has proved to be the very effective program for weight loss. Hope this will be of much use to all those who are conscious of their weight and health.
WEIGHT LOSS DIET for 7 days (Tested by corporates)
This program was developed in conjunction with the grant from the US Department of Agriculture and the Food and Drug Administration. It was field tested at the Johns Hopkins Research Center and was approved for distribution by the Board of Directors of General Motors Corporation at a general meeting on August 15, 1995.
This Program 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 this seven day plan is that the foods eaten burn more calories than they give to the body in caloric value. This plan can be used as often as you like to 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 fell lighter by at least 10 pounds. You will have an abundance of energy and 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 consist of all fruits you want. It is suggested you consume lots of melons the first day especially watermelon and cantaloupe.
Day Two: All vegetables. You are encouraged to eat until you are stuffed with all the raw and 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 feast day. You will eat 1 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 or uncooked, in your hearts content.
Day Seven: Today your food intake will consist of 1 cup of rice, fruit juice and the vegetables you care to consume. Tomorrow morning you will be five to eight Kgs. Lighter than 1 week ago. If you desire further weight loss repeat the program again. Repeat the program as often as you like. However, it is suggested that you rest for three days before every repetition.
You have your system under control now and it will thank you for all the purging and cleansing 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 flavor the water with some lemon to make the drink easier. While on the program take only black coffee and never more than one teaspoon of oil. Preferably do not use oil because of the high calorific content. No fruit juices before day seven.
Day One:
You are preparing your system for the upcoming program. Your only source of nutrition is fresh fruits. Fruits are nature’s perfect food. They provide everything you can possibly want to sustain life except total balance and variety.
Day Two:
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 calorie free and provide essential nutrients and fiber.
Day Three:
Eliminates 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 Four:
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 sodium you may have missed the last three days. You will notice a definite loss of desire for sweets and you will be surprised at how easy this day will go.
Day Five:
Rice and tomatoes. The rice is for the carbohydrates and the tomatoes are for the digestion and fiber. Lots and lots of water purify you system. You should notice colorless urine today. Do not feel you have to eat one-cup rice, you may eat less. But you may eat six tomatoes.
Day Six:
It is similar to five. Vitamins and fiber from the vegetables and carbohydrates from the rice. 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:
You may celebrate with champagne. You may also have white wine instead of champagne, but in all practical programs, and in all surveys done to measure the success of the program, General Motors employees have always preferred champagne to white wine.
More than one cup of coffee with milk is especially forbidden. Milk and oil and empty calories to your diet. 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, then you are not following the diet correctly. Almost all people give up the diet when they are hungry. If it is a vegetable day, eat as much vegetables that you are never hungry. If it is a fruits day, eat so much fruits that you are never hungry. You may be bored of eating vegetables all day, but you should not be hungry. You take any amount of wonder soup on any day.
i am so anxious to lose my wait.in which way i can reduce my weight.please tell me fast
i am waiting………..
What is the GM diet plan for Jains who can’t eat potatoes and any ground root vegetables like onion, garlic, carrots etc
I have been following this plan last weeks. I have some questions. Please reply.
1. How many times we can follow this program?
2. What should be the gap in between?
3. Do I need to have Banana and milk together or can they be taken sepretly?
4. Can I take salt with potato and rice?
5.I feed my baby can this diet make any problem for my baby?
Dear Asmi,
1. You are supposed to give atleast a break of 2 weeks between two diets.
2. In between have food that contains more fat and calories. If you are an India, you can have dry phulka or roti. Olive oil can be used but in very less quantity.
3. I am right now on GM Diet and on 3rd day. Tomorrow is a day of Banana and milk. Unfortunately, I don’t like both. There is a south Indian dish called ‘Rasayana’ which is prepared by mixing milk, banana and sugar. it’s delicious. But in place of sugar, one can add sugar free tablets and have it. I am sure you will love it!
4. You can take salt, but very very little.
5. Consult your doctor before starting this diet as you are nursing your baby.
Cheers!

I heard that same weight is gained after a month is it true?
What should be the diet after GM diet? Shouldn’t we restrict to avoid gain or can we follow our previous food life styles?
Nice 🙂 are you still following ?
Hey this program is awsome.
Yesterday i finished 7 days of this diet.
I am very very happy, i reduced 5kg that too just due this diet, no workout.
Everyone should go for this diet not just to reduce weight, but there is awsome feeling after this diet.
This diet changes your habits as well, as before this diet i used to drink hardly 1ltr water in a day.
But after this diet i am drinking daily about 4ltr.
i am planning to do it again next week. 🙂
Awesome
can i take tea with this plan
Black Tea is allowed
hi i wan to loose my wt

plz suggesr me what shouid i do
stevia perhaps? based on your condition I am not sure…
can i eat 2 brown bread slice with tomato?
or white rice with curd?
on fifth day
on fifth day
No WHEAT! Wheat will cause weight gain and does quickly. It’s toxic to the body. You may not want to hear that, most don’t. Google and Read up on “Wheat Belly” if you want the science and truth behind it. Rice and curd is fine, each meat replacement meal needs a good fat replacement.
i wnte
d to use this veg diet plan but i dont know in which amt/quantity i have to take
Its Unlimited. Check my posts above, you will get to know.
Hello.. I m 25 yrs old and i m going to marry in dec. i want to have glow on my face and Lose 3 kgs only. Should i do this diet or not?
What about my weight after diet? Will it gain again??
100% of all diets, no matter which 1, if you don’t make a lifestyle change likely so. Now you seem to have a low goal. So maybe too much extra weight is not a problem so you may be OK then. Factors like this vary greatly per person, age, male or female and any other underlying health issues. One thing this diet is, it’s nutrient dense and all natural 🙂
hi
i want to start this diet any one want to join this plan to satrt with me

Pls answer me b’coz I didn’t find brown rice in my local grocery shop .
do v gain weight once this diet’s seven days are over?
its difficult yes, and the first few days of the diet are difficult indeed. but my main worry is what after the seven days are over if the body rebounds and i end up gaining double of what i will hopefully lose, then what?
please anybody who has done this diet and has had any sort fo experience help, because it will help many many people who are taking thia diet now are planning to do so in the near future.
If you don’t maintain the wight loss, the weight will bounce back. Stick to low fat and low calorie foods. Eat Dry chapathi with gravy prepared with less oil (Olive oil preferred)

Hi.
GM diet rocks. I am 40+ and I lost 6kg and almost one inch in a week time without any workout. I continued it to 5weeks and lost 17kg and 4inches. I was 130kg with 44″ waist and now I am 40″. Since lot to do to reach my goal of 36″ & 90KG.
Watermelons and cantaloupe are best fruits to shred weight n fat as they help you for water retention. I always priortize them during fruity days. If you want other fruits, combine them with oranges, apples & grapefruits. (Avoid grapes, peaches, pineapple & mangoes as they contain rich amount of sugar)
Day 4 is very important as I have noticed that most of the persons tries to escape bananas and milk. 6 – 8 bananas and almost one liter of milk is required this perticular day. It cover the loss of potassium and the sodium which you missed during 3days, so don’t avoid it. You can consume them as combo (banana shake) or otherwise too. Soup also plays an important role. Drink as many time as you can and without any limit.
Eat vegetables raw or cooked (without oil). In case you really want, use one tea spoon of Olive oil. Again I would say, try to avoid usage of oil during entire period you are following this plan.
Alongwith the diet I took organic green tea which helped me to lose weight and give me refreshing feeling throughout day. But remember, no sugar and no milk.
For fresh mind and body, it is always good to eat vegetables, but, for people who can eat meat will lose faster as red meat take time to digest therefore you will not feeling hungry soon. If replace Beaf with Mutton (lean meat). Chicken will not give you optimum results.
You can do it as many times as you can but between next cycle keep of gap of 2 – 3days. During gap days I love to eat grilled chicken or mutton kababs with brown bread.
Hats off to this diet.
Please share your experiences with other in this forum.

Hey All,
Contemplating on doing this GM Diet soon…..Read all the comments and this diet does seem impressive, I have tried this GM diet long back and reduced 2 kgs after 7 days (not a big drop, still encouraging), but after that my food craving increased many fold and I gained more that what I lost in no time…hence skeptical about doing it again all these while…but now, I am driven to the point of undertaking this diet again, as my weight loss venture is giving no results in the last 2 months and I feel really bad about it!!!
I have just one question? Alongside this diet, can I undertake physical activity like treadmill walk for 30-45 mins during the 7 days ?? is it a good idea??? GM dieting and walking parallel – will it tire me out ?? would I be putting lots of stress on my body trying to do both at the same time? experts, pls advice…if walk is not recommended, will just stick to the diet alone…Please respond early, as I am planning for this diet early in a week or two’s time.
Can I eat tomatoes on day 2???
hi, frnds.this is my 5 th day,i am actually taking not more than 6glasses of water on the all days and taken 2-3 piecesof tapiocka on day 3,is it ok? or it makes any probs…am doing sme exercises too with this(30 mins)
My wife is on this plan. Today is day two. Please guide whether on any day of the plan, any intake of salt is allowed? Whether tea with milk without sugar can be taken on any day in less quantity once/twice? Please reply early.

Hi. Let me know whether we can use white rice instead of brown rice, as brown rice is not available in my town.
Brown rice is better and healthier. White rice will add unnecessary calories as 1 cup is about 693calories. If u use white, maybe have half a cup or less
Please help
can Raw (vegetable) Banana add in vegetables?
And Is salt can use for cocked/raw vegetable during program? if yes any quantity restriction?
And Is potato use restrict for only once i.e 2nd day morning ?
One cup of rice means what is measurement?
regards
Srinivas
hi
can peas can add in vegetables?
thanks
spices r allowed in vegetable diet?
Am 24yrs old and my w8 is 56 i wan to gain my wight how plz help me
hi,
i tried this diet last week, i was unsuccessful in following it, please tell me the best way to do it, i am pure vegetarian and it is becoming tough for me to do this, please help, and i also wanted to ask:
1) if the brown rice is one cup cooked or uncooked on day 5, 6 and 7?
2) what else can we accompany with brown rice on day 5?
The brown rice should be cooked and you make Tomoto curry without spicy and little bit salt. You can have one cup of rice in morning and afternoon.
@Mission45 : Pls dont ask like these type of silly questions…….
just imagine can u eat the Rice (White or Brown) whatever it is without cooking….??
just think over it and ask the questions….. ok…..
stupid he’s asking about quantity. brown rice should b taken one cup and then cooked or after cooking u have to take it one cup. because there is lot of difference between cooked n uncooked quantity of rice moron. so u better read a question thrice before answering.
Hi,
I am 52 years old and having diabetes type 2 since last 10 yrs. Presently I am on Insulin. Shall I go for GM Diet plan for vegetables? I am salaried person. To follow the GM Diet plan shall I have to be on leave?
Regards,
Bharat.
Hi Bharat,
It is not wise to do the GM diet if you have diabeties. The first day which is full of fruits and the 4th day with banana and milk is dangerous for you. But, a friend of mine with a similar condition like you did something interesting and lost weight. She ate moderate regular food for breakfast and lunch with more vegetables, cabbage wonder soup and salad and 1 roti. At night she had only soup and some boiled vegetable and a small piece of fruit. She lost about 4 kgs in 15 days. I thought that was cool..
I do not drink milk, Can I drink almond milk or rice milk? Also what day can we start having the soup?
Hi,
It’s my day 3… I am feeling little bit week.
1. Shall i add dal with Tomoto on Day 5, 6 & 7 otherwise How can i have only one bowl of Brown rice?
I’m 21 year old. I feel happy Mentally & Physical after following this Vegetarian Diet Plan. Can I follow this plan without taking any break for short time, like 1-2 month? Or I have to take break? Is it necessary to take a break?
Hi Jariwala, You have to take minimum of 10days gap.
milk is not vegan! rice replaces the beef (well, not really as much protein…), but what to replace the milk?? I have searched all over the internet and have not found any substitution!!
I have already started the GM diet plan, for the 1st week I had brown rice on the 7th day but I didn’t like the taste of it at all..Can anyone please suggest an alternate for brown rice..?
Hi,
I am a vegan. What can i use as a substitute for the milk and meat? Can I use any non-dairy milk? Also, do you have to eat the soup or can you just do without?
Hi all,
i am on my 4th day of diet. I would like to know that can i have normal rice instead of brown rice on 5th, 6th & 7th day .
On 4th day can i other fruits like water melon also with banans also.
Please replu ASAP.
Hi,
I wanted to ask if we eat vegetable on Day 2, and it is cooked without oil but salt ,spices are added for taste.
Is that ok?
I tried following the diet earlier with a regular gym routine, but gave up on 3rd day.
i was feeling weakness without any carb intake.
Planning to take it up again as I have to shed a lot of weight in less time.
Also tell me if 3 days gap between 1 week of GM Diet is fine.
Suggest me the workout routine.
hi i am Sonal. i am goin to start it from coming monday!!

Day3 today !!! I am already down 1 KG. Its motivating…. 🙂
Hi.. I am very keen to follow this diet, I had even tried it many times but gave up on the very 1st day. I want to start this diet again, I just had few questions. If you can clear it, I will be highly grateful to you:
Day 1 – Can we have unlimited fruits including apple? And do we have to break it into breakfast, Lunch or dinner or it can be had any time?
Day 2 – Can we take boiled potato with salt or is it to be just boiled potato? And as mentioned do we have to take vegetable soups in lunch and dinner or vegetables?
Day 3 – can we have fruits and vegetables all day or break it into breakfast lunch dinner? And is there any proportion of fruits and vegetables, that needs to be taken?
Day 4 – I wanted to be sure about do we have to take the shake of banana and milk or do we have to take them separately? Because in non – vegetarian diet, it is said that we need to take 8 bananas and 3 glasses of milk. And milk should be skimmed or semi – skimmed? And do we have to take it only in the breakfast or in lunch and dinner with soup also?
Day 5 – 1 cup brown rice is for whole day or just a meal? and can we cook tomato and brown rice together so that it tastes good?
Day 6 – Same question – do we have to eat the meal all day or just at the meal time?
Day 7 – Rice, fruits and vegetables are to be taken together or 1 after the another?
I also wanted to know, if you could suggest what all should we eat in the mix vegetable subji and can we add spices in it? and OIL???????
And in wonder soup is there any vegetarian substitute for Lipton onion soup mix?
can i have glucose if i m feeling little dizzy
Hi,

Hello there, You have done a fantastic job. I’ll definitely digg it and personally suggest to my friends. I’m confident they’ll be benefited from this site.
Hi… I was 145 pounds. Today is my seventh day. I am 142.5 bounds. Just lost 1 kg. I don’t think this diet helped me in the weight reduction. I am not that satisfied with this diet. But I think there will be detoxification effect due to cleaning. So just contended with it but not so happy.
Wonderful blog! I found it while browsing on Yahoo News.
Do you have any tips on how to get listed in Yahoo News?
I’ve been trying for a while but I never seem to get there! Thanks
My husband following gm diet chart .today his third day.
today is my second day!! after following the first day strictly on more watermelon, small serving of papaya, small serving of mango….and did 10 suryanamaskaras… 🙂 i lost 1 kg…. i was 70kg when started want to reduce as much as possible.. cu tomorrow…
Good news, keep it up, make sure your eating though, as much of the soup and you need.
thanks for the encouragement….will try not to cheat today 🙂
oh ya… dnt mention my ten glasses of water (cheers)…. and cheated with three cups of tea (i feel i cant survive without that) and a small spoonful of biryani (i could not resist while cooking for the name of taste).
Happens to most of us, just get back on and go for it 🙂
No judging here on that account.
Hi All, Im on day 4. i did loose 2.2 kgs till now but between 2nd and 3rd day my weight is constant at 82.7. I started at 85 kg. Im following it strictly. I guess its water weight as i do drink lots of water. Lets see. Eager to check my weight tom morning.
Hi
I and my wife are very eager to follow GM diet plan for vegetarians..But We dont consume potato as we follow jain religion Is there any other alternative?? And one more thing i want to ask is it fine if we consume Basmati rice instead of Brown rice?? We live in Gujarat and we get fruits like watermelon, blackberrys, apple banana chickoo, pineapple, coconut, cherries, peaches Can you suggest which should be consumed and which not..
For potato substitute – maybe try celery root, taro? Also plantains.
The fruit? I would not do peaches and pineapple..
Hope that helps….
hi
today is my firsy day of GM diet….
SW: 205 lbs
CW:202 lbs
hoping to loose atleast 5 kgs..
Congrats, looks like you may be on route for a really good round.
Can i consume peas [ black eyed] during the vegetable days , considering it a source of proteins and fiber ? [ and I am a vegan ]
Since you are vegan, you just need to try it and see how it works. I don’t see why not, make sure you measure and do not overeat.
Hi all,
This is the first time I am doing this diet. I started this diet with 70.4 kgs and now todays is 5thday. so far its going good and already I lost 2.5kgs. I am vegetarian and following as said 1 cup of brownrice for whole day with tomatoes. But I guess I donot loose morethan this weight.Beacuse I will gain weight very easily. for the next days I will be consuming brown rice with either veg/fruits.
Please clear me doubt that do we need to take the wonder soup everyday or it is designed for particular days? PLease answer me if anyone knows.
eat the soup when you want, make sure you’re eating…
Hi, tode was my 4th day of gm diet. I lost 1.8 kg weight. Earlier when i did this diet i lost 4 kg in one week. But honestly this time i m cheating lil bit. First two days are more diff to pass but after its lot easier. Thanks gm diet.
I wanted to know whether once we follow the diet and lv in between will it increase our weight I’m planning to start the diet plan on Monday onwards so wanted to know is there any side effects by leaving it in between after once following the diet?????
can any one help me out with it??? I too badly wanna shed my weight
There may have been side effects yes leaving it, essentially any form of yo-yo dieting can cause issues. So stick to it this time, it is key!
I wish to start the diet from coming monday but i need to know sum thing .. am allergic to bananas as i have breathing problem what in place of banana i can eat . and can i have fruit juice along with fruit.. please reply
Please no fruit juice, you are essentially drinking tons of sugar and all of your calories. Look for a tropical fruit that is sold in your area. You just have to do the best you can but should be perfectly fine with a sub,
I am going to start this diet as soon as possible. I just had a couple of questions >
1) Can I avoid the wonder soup? Will it make any difference?
2) Can I eat fruits, vegetables, etc on the suggested at any time or it should go like breakfast, lunch & dinner?
As I am living outside I have some time problem.
Please reply as soon as possible.
1) You need the wonder soup to me, this is not a fasting diet.
2) I would try and stick to the allotted meals as much as possible, one reason struggle with weight is they fail to eat most of the day and cram their meals in the last few ours.
Today is my first day and I have also added green tea (a cup of warm / hot water and regular green tea bag) twice or thrice a day to improve metabolism.. is it fine ?
Herbal teas in my opinion should be fine as long as they have no sweetener…
Today was my1st day … Hv bn feeling tired n suffering from serious headache
hey …dn get worried…..dis is cz ur body is on detox…drink lots of water …u ll feel better..:)
Pink, this used to happen to me on diets, especially then because I used to drink lots of sodas ad caffeine. On the diet I came off and for a couple of days felt bad. Same can go for folks coming of sugar and such. Just a thought,
hey…i want to ask if brown rice n tomatoes can be cooked together ???????? n is it one cup of rice for the whole day????????
Heyyy I jst wanna start gm diet from tomorrow and I want to know that after 7 days do I gain back my weight which I losted in these 7 days and also I want to know that is it safe todo gm diet when we have bp and is it safe to do this diet when we are on medication
It can be cooked together and it’s one cup uncooked…
hello all…
I followed the diet before also…and today is my 4th day that is Banana and Milk…..
1.How many litres is 8-12 glasses of water
2. I had sprouts(mixed)along with lots of raw vegetables..2nd day and then
3. 3rd cooked black gram curry with pumpkin that too cooked with salt and green chilli..as well as melons
in between i had green tea with honey and lemon ..i am loosing weight for sure but the
now main question
A. is when can i use curd.B.can i use chapati in place of rice or white rice instead of brown rice
PLEASE DO REPLY AS TOMMORROW IS MY DAY FOR CARBOHYDRATES AND TOMATOES
Mona your questions are tough to answer. 1 – honey is not allowed. You care just drinking calories and sugar.
2 – water, the point is to drink water, it will be different for everyone, that’s why water rules are tough, like you always hear drink 8 glasses a day. In dieting yes, drink plenty, but don’t over do it. 3 – chapati has wheat, basically sugar to your body and is not mentioned at all in this diet. Hope this helps.
plzz……. explain this day’s diet as breakfast, lunch & dinner
Day 5. Brown rice and tomatoes. Instead of beef, brown rice is used on Day 5. One cup of rice is good to last for the day together with tomatoes in order to induce cleansing.
Day 6. Brown rice and vegetables. On this day mixed vegetables may be consumed all day, together with one cup of rice.
Day 7. Up to two cups of brown rice may be consumed, together with fruit and vegetable servings.
Hi ppl.. M starting this diet from tomorrow.. wish me luck… my current weight is 69 and my target after the diet is atleast 65 kgs…
Good luck Kriti 🙂
Hi,
Today is my 5th day. i didn’t get brown rice in local grocery shop. Instead of brown rice, i am taking sprouts with tomatoes. Can i use sprouts with vegetables for day 6 and day 7 instead of brown rice? will it reduce my weight?
If your’re getting enough starch/protein in the replacement it should be OK. Everyone need to please keep in mind this isn’t about what you want to eat and replace everything with but trying to stick to the diet as much as possible.
Hi, I am on Day 5 of GM diet, but today is a fast due to religious reasons. My questions are:
1. Is it okay to consume only fruits on Day 5?
2. Should I start from Day 5 or Day 6 tomorrow?
Please help
Tough one Sarita, if it were me I would totally fast and do day 5 the next, then 6, 7…
hey just a little query…can we add sugar to milk???
Gariuma, sorry no. Actually I would 100% stay away form sugar all together. Milk has enough natural sugars already in it. Sorry 🙁
Im drinking a cup of green tea with 1 tsp honey. Is honey okay for this diet plan? because some says honey aids in burning fat, and this is a natural sweetener.
I don’t recommend honey, well at least on this diet, sorry. So high in fructose. Never heard before that a high sugar product like honey would ever help in reducing weight. Plus where is the honey from? Is it organic/raw? Or is it from bees that are bottled fed liquid sugar? just some food for thought 🙂
Hi myself nagaveni. I wanna to reduce my weight. currently am 65kgs. Today i have started GM diet. 2nd day according to the Gm diet plan what vegetables i can have??(carrot, cucumber and what else)??
Here are some sample veggies
https://www.gmdietworks.com/general-motors-diet/gm-diet-day-2.html
Hi kevin,
Nagaveni this is.
Thanks for the suggestions.
Will anybody can how i can have brown rice on 5th and 6 th day means with what curry i can have??
do you mean how to cook/eat it. Spicing it up however you want is fine 🙂 I am not a brown rice person much, but usually do some sort of simple stir fry on it.
Is it ok to have coconut oil while on the diet as it doesn’t contain carbs? I don’t like to go a day without it.
Coconut oil is amazing actually bypasses the liver for digestion and has things in it that assist in weight loss. Never overdo it but yes have some ,it is 90% of what I use here.
My que is I m not eating rice since last one year nd I want to know which is best option for me in 5th day tomato with …..? Nd I m veggi ….so???

hi,
i am on my fourth day……………..can anyone pls help me with the fifth day diet for veggies………plsss
Hello Anish
Here you go with the diet for Day 1 to day 7
•Day 1. Only fruits. Just like in the regular GM diet, only fruits are allowed to be consumed on the first day. All fruits can be consumed in generous quantities except for bananas, as they are high in carbohydrates and potassium. Water intake should also be observed at 10-12 glasses during the whole day.
•Day 2. The second day involves potato and vegetables. A cup of baked potato would serve as the body’s main energy source for the day, and then it can be followed up with vegetable dishes during lunch and dinner. Vegetable soup is highly powerful during this day, as it provides all the energy the body would need.
•Day 3. Fruit and vegetables. Fruits and vegetables may be served the whole day, from breakfast to dinner, including midday snacks. Fruit juice can also be taken aside from water, although no bananas or potatoes are allowed.
•Day 4. Bananas and milk. Banana and milk combos may be consumed all day, with vegetable soup servings during lunch and dinner. Banana and milk may be taken in the form of shakes, during breakfast and midday snacks.
•Day 5. Brown rice and tomatoes. Instead of beef, brown rice is used on Day 5. One cup of rice is good to last for the day together with tomatoes in order to induce cleansing.
•Day 6. Brown rice and vegetables. On this day mixed vegetables may be consumed all day, together with one cup of rice.
•Day 7. Up to two cups of brown rice may be consumed, together with fruit and vegetable servings.
Can I take green tea during GM diet plan?
Green tea? No sweetener, and a couple of cups of you need.
thank u Mona Lisa….
wat abt the quantity of brown rice??one cup of uncooked brown rice and then cooking or is it one cup of cooked brown rice????
one cup uncooked, so you will be eating more than one cupped once it’s cooked.
thanks a lot
Hi… today is my fifth day and I am happy with the diet plan as I have lost 4kgs till yesterday. Hope to loose more keeping my fingers crossed. Thanks to GM deit
could you plz tell me plan for Day 5
•Day 5. Brown rice and tomatoes. Instead of beef, brown rice is used on Day 5. One cup of rice is good to last for the day together with tomatoes in order to induce cleansing.
•Day 6. Brown rice and vegetables. On this day mixed vegetables may be consumed all day, together with one cup of rice.
•Day 7. Up to two cups of brown rice may be consumed, together with fruit and vegetable servings.

Day two -Boiled cabbage and bottle guard(basically a curry prepared with less than a spoon oil)
Day three – Fruits of day one and vegetable of day two
Day four – bananas and milk
Day 5,6, and 8 – Only Brown rice.
Have more and more water – I take nearly 5 – 6 liters of water.
I did little bit exercise and morning walk(2 kms). I have also taken lemon tea thrice a day. and one normal tea(with less sugar) in morning. I can not live without tea.

Hi….1 question…brown rice like just the boiled rice?? nothing at all with it?? how many times a day??
Hi Pramod,
Inspired by ur commntz… I m n my day 3…
Day 2… i had 1 carrot, 1 green mango, boiled channa along wid beetrrot, plaintain…
Is dat ok…?
Seems a little light on Quantity, did you have any soup?
no..i dnt had soup….Is it must to be soup n some day…GM Diet ? or can i skip soup?
Can i ve egg white on day 6/7?
Well if you carefully read the diet the soup is the key to success, as well as not changing the diet a ton.
Hi … In day 7, can i ve fruits(apple, orange or pomegranate) instead of fruit juice…
yes
can i ve boiled corn on day6?
no
Hi Pramod….I cnt eat cooked cabbage…Tell me sme othr vegetables..? Plzz help…
thanks soo much for your diet plan pramod, It will surely help me…..tanks much
Thanks Pramod……it will definetaly help me. thanks much
tea fine if no sweetener, no nits, no dried fruit. Think long term on this, dried fruit and just concentrated forms of sugar. Beware …..
can 2 pegs – be taken in a day
2 pegs? what are they?
hey i stay in hostel and it is not possible for me to prepare the soup, vegetables and brown rice everyday. Can i prepare and keep in the fridge and have it for next two three days. one more confusion can i have carrots in vegetable and fruit juice without sugar. Can vegetable soup be taken any of these seven days.
Soup and rice should b fine in the fridge. Carrots no, not really. And no on fruit juice, loaded with fructose and high in sugar. I never recommend fruit juice ever. Sorry… 🙂
Hey, is Boiled potato fine instead of baked? can i skip potato and just take bottle gourd and cabbage with vegetable soup.
and one more thing juice home made i am asking not the packed one.
why no carrot i did not understand because we always use carrot in salad also. Its a vegetable only. I am on the second day of GM diet. Kindly reply soon.
khushbu bahgat – eat boiled potatoes, the same. Carrots? Well it appears you want them so go for it. But carrots have a different makeup to them than other veg. If you’r just eating a few then you should be OK. Your homemade fruit juice is full of fructose and your drinking all your calories without the fiber. NO good, sorry. You may want to Google this and study up on it some, but I suppose if you want your juice then you will do it anyway. But there is a reason it does not say go ahead and drink fruit juice on this diet.
Hi…. On the second day I had two breads…… Should i continue with the diet or start it all over again?
Saurabh, I would wait a couple of days and start over,,,, my opinion
khushbu bahgat, I agree with Sheri totally on the juice. On carrots if you’re just eating some mixed with other veg then fine 🙂
Thanks all for help. Kindly call me khushbu
I did not eat carrot any ways. I ate cabbage And bottle gourd. Tomorrow is third day so I think tomorrow I can have juice. Right. 2nd day successful.
khushbu, orange juice or coconut water fine in moderation, but other fruit, beware – all fructose, no fiber, bad idea, you really seem to like your juice 🙂
hey today is my fourth day of GM diet, I am having Banana and skimmed milk. I will be having 7 to 8 banana in complete day with 2-3 glass of milk. I am suppose to eat
5 Day: Brown rice(one cup) with tomato( cooked in pressure cooker) for whole day.
6 Day: Brown rice with vegetables.(one cup)
7 Day: Brown rice with vegetables and fruits(2 cups)
I am taking one time green tea and normal tea two times(1/2 cup) with sugar free.
Kindly suggest if any modification required.
khushbu, you seem to be lacking food in general, need more, the soup, etc….. Since you can’t eat soup, need raw veggies or something…
Hi
Today is my day 5, brown rice and tomato day. I checked my weight last night it was still the same although I am following this diet very strictly. My husband did it last year and said that the weight sheds on 6 or 7 day so you see the weight reduction on your last day. Is it true or the diet is not working for me? The other thing is can v have idlis on Day 5 instead of brown rice? I was feeling nauseatic so had a small cup of tea without sugar today morning, is it ok? Please advice.
Hi Taran……
This is the fourth time i am doing GM Diet(veg)
First time i did nearly 4 months ago – I reduced 2.5 Kgs
Second time i Did 3 months ago – I lost 3 kgs
Third time i did 1 week ago- I lost 6 Kgs
It is suggested that in between two diet programs there should be a gap of 2 weeks but just after 1 week i started again and today is my fifth day and – I lost 4 Kgs
One suggestion have more and more water………………..
Thank you for the reply.
I am having more and more water. Guess your response sounds encouraging. Any idea about idlis?
Hey. Today I completed 5 days today. I had 1 idly in the morning as brown rice was not prepared. From afternoon I had. 1 cup brown rice. But I think the quantity is so much to consume in a day. I had cabbage and onions also a little as u asked to eat vagetables. Kindly suggest if its fine.
Sounds good khushbu 🙂
I m on 6th day of diet. I m looking little slim but when I checked my weight no much difference. Why so. Do depresses today after cheking weight.
hey i am planning to withdraw now as i am not satisfied. Will it help me 6 days GM diet. Kindly suggest. And give me a proper diet with 7 days plan so that i can try after 2-3 weeks. Kindly suggest me with timings. Tomorrow i will have brown rice but will have few curry as i am going to my friends house tomorrow. Kindly suggest.ASAP
It is good you have slimmed down, you can retain weight for other reasons looking back on the diet or info you have posted it seems you have not really followed much as well. This makes it hard to help.
Ok. Can u give me a proper diet with timings so that I can follow that properly. And one more thing according to me I really followed the diet for 5 days.
5 days? It’s a 7 day diet. The website 100% lays it out for you, samples meals and everything, not much more I can do, sorry. 🙂
Can i have green tea in all the days in addition to water ?
Because i would feel that i’m having something hot and healthier.
Moreover, it will hydrate me.
Vignesh, water yes of course drink.
green tea plain no sweetener fine…
I am on 5th day of GMD.Lost abt 4 kgs. I did it before and had lost 5 kilos.(3 months ago).It really works but easy to gain the weight back if start eating junk food after the Diet plan is over.
I am on my 4th day of GMD, lost 2 kgs and counting more. Though I have not followed it strictly but keep the minimum standard. Not sure in long run the impact will sustain or not!! I am feeling happy, GMD rocks.
Can i have coconut water in the GM diet plan?
Yes, just don’t overdo it…
I have almost completed 2nd day of the diet plan and i just had half chocolate inbetween. will that affect the weight loss i am expecting?
It can yes so be careful,,,,
Out of seven days we can take Coconut water any day………………
Read each day carefully, each is very different. You can drink it on some just do not over do…
i hate eating raw tomatos…Can i replace it by fruits..?
No, tomatoes have no fructose, eat cooked tomatoes or another veg.
Can i add salt to veggies..? Can i ve plain cooked dal or channa in day of veggies..?
yes you can use say? I have no clue what you are asking with your second question, please expand.
can i ve channa/ spinach or dal in days of vegtables…day2, day6..?
Can i ve boiled corn as vegetable?
Can i add onion,spices ( no oil) to veggies?
yes on spices, maybe a little onion, no corn, you can sub the fish for beef.
can i ve sprouts/ soya chunks in vegetables day..?
can i ve paneer along wid rice in day 6/ 7?
Plzz reply…
Sprouts soya fine, eat paneer though at your own risk 🙂
Thzz u….
Hi…
can i add just spoon of moong dal( cooked) wid vegetables?
Can i add grated small amount of coconut to veggies..?
spoon OK of DAL, coconut in a small amount fine as well.
Hi.. I want to start gmdiet plan but i am consuming homopathy medicine everyday. Is it ok if i continue my meds with the diet?
Ask your doctor, it should not hurt the diet, but your doctor would be best to say if it will affect your meds.
Hi…
1 cup Brown rice on day 5-7, means cooked/uncooked?
uncooked 🙂
Thzz u…
Hope we wil get mre dan 1 cup after cooked…
How it is possible to eat uncooked?
it’s not, read what she asked, how do you measure it, cooked or uncooked.
Hello Neha,
Today is my 5th day of Diet Plan. As i am feeling very lightly.
But in the 4th day I consumed little bit sugar with milk and banana.There is a south Indian dish called ‘Rasayana’ which is prepared by mixing milk, banana and sugar. it’s delicious.
Is it OK ??? 😉 😉
Having banana with coconut and spices is one thing, but loading the already sweet banana up with milk and sugar. NO, NEVER and you may want to reconsider these things coming out of the diet. Milk has natural sugar in it, bananas tons of fructose, not to mention you added sugar. SORRY 🙂
I prepared that dish only with Banana, Milk, 2 Cardamom and one spoon of sugar. No coconut. 🙂
Well, coconut would have been great, sugar no…. Not sure you understand how bad sugar is, do some research on Google…. Hang in there 🙂

Day 2 almost over.. Feeling Hungry… I don’t think I will be able to go through Day 3….
Emotional hunger? If you are eating the soup you should be OK…. Well other than desiring goodies that you were used to having maybe…
Hi,
I want to start this diet from tomorrow. Just wanted to know two things.
1) can I use a pinch of black pepper (fresh ground) with boiled vegerables ?
2) On Day 5, can I use boiled tomatoes ? ot should they be raw ?
Regards,
Dinesh
1) yes on the pepper, spices are fine
2) Yes, that is fine on tomatoes
Admin..
Tomorow is my fifth dy..One cup of cooked brown rice is enough for a whole day? Tell me the schedule for morning afternoon and night?
https://www.gmdietworks.com/general-motors-diet/gm-diet-day-5.html
sub beef for rice, if you need a little more rice add another half of a cup uncooked.
Hi – I have been following thru this diet and I am confused about why brown rice is being prescribed for day 5 & 6 … how can it be a substitute for beef? brown rice is more carbs which get introduced on day 7 – shouldn’t beef be substituted with another protein like tofu, beans etc on day 5 & 6?
It does, but folks are quite picky and want to refine it down to just a few things, which is fine and up to them, Diet works best done right. If you want to use beans, tofu, etc fine, make sure it has some fat as beef would.
gotcha – yea I’ve sauteed tofu with very little canola oil so it does get some fat…thanks for the explanation….trying to follow diet as close as possible.
run from veggie and seed oils like that, go for olive, coconut and palm if you can 🙂
All else sounds good…
Gotcha….well I lost 5 lbs …. not bad considering it was my first time doing it … i had some goof ups along the way but next time I will be better prepared!
btw – since we know this diet works – I would be (and probably others too) interested in knowing the theory/philosophy behind the diet….I know we just follow whats said for everyday but would be good to know exactly why this leads to reduced weight.
Based on my understanding of it – it seems to essentially get us on significantly low carbs / low fat foods initially n then re-introducing carbs/fats in smaller portions but I’m sure there’s more to it than that.
Anyways, good info and very helpful for ppl trying to lose weight 🙂 Thanks!
Hey Admin…
I’m on the first day of diet. I’m trying this for the first time in my life as I any diet plan didn’t help me. I’ve some queries.
1)Can I continue my yoga, aerobics and jogging with this diet as its already my routine.
2) Can I continuously repeat this week diet for 3 times? If yes, its awesome ! If not then what gap and diet should I maintain during that time?
Please help !
Dheeraj.
1) Exercise as you want.
2) I would wait a month in between, some folks wait 2 weeks. I would recommend lots. Cut sweets and refined carbs like bread. Eat 3 meals a day with 1 snack. Get plenty of protein each meal, balanced with good veggies and a simple starch like a little rice maybe. We discuss more here http://www.gmdietforum.com/forums/gm-diet-after-day-7.6/
I’m on the forth day of diet and I’ve already lost 4kgs. Never thought this will happen 😀 3 more days left….I’m expecting 3 more kg to loose. I’ve followed this diet word by word with positive faith and normal exercise.
thanks a lot 🙂
Great job!
Good Brij…
Goof ups can hurt – but happen. To me the biggest theory is think about what you are cutting. Refined carbs, sugars, white flour, you are eating meals as opposed to not eating all day and eating huge dinners and so on. There is balance to it. But the problem is, people just go back to their old lifestyle and think they can get away with it. I had to say to myself at some point, I am 41, I have to stop going back to what’s bad, ever since I did, my weight stays normal. It is awesome.
You do want to work back in things slowly, but have to find a lifestyle that works. What I see here, and is common here people eat too much wheat breads.
carrot will be counted in fruits or vegetable. can i drink fresh carrot juice if yes then i want quantity ?????
You can have juice when it calls for juice in the sample plans for each day. To just drink carrot juice when you want is a bad idea, carrots are full of sugar, meaning when you juice them. So if you area juicer, please make carrot 1/8th of the juice, do greens and other veg as well.
hey,
i m a student. and i live in a hostel. so i don’t have any facility to cook.
i eat food from an outside mess. i want to follow this diet but the only problem is that a won’t
be able to follow it the way its been given….. i m 90 kg right now, want to follow dis diet but it seems impossible for me to follow it being in the hostel. please suggest something so that i can follow gm diet plan……
tough if you cannot cook… Look at the sample menu, can you buy precooked foods to match what is here?
no not possible to get pre cooked food. a microwave has been provided in my hostel but that too is not sufficient enough to cook vegetables and soup…. i have one more question, with the help of gm diet we can loose up to 7 kg easily in a week, but what after we stop following this diet and come back to our normal diet.. am i going to put on the weight back which i lost ?? because this diet can’t be followed forever……
No it cant’ be followed forever, we do not promote that, it show you you need a lifestyle change and you need to make one. You can’ continue to eat the way you have forever or you will continue to get worse. Do you not see your normal diet made you unhealthy? Mine made me that way, I can’t go back…
Hai today is my 4th day in gm diet program,but past 3 days daily i will take (no cholesterol,no trans fat,no artificail colours) Britannia Nutri Choice Classic Lite Cracker biscuits 100gm its any impact in my diet
No they are not OK, they are full of over processed junk grains, calories has nothing to do with it. Sorry.
Hi, i today is my 6th day today, sincerely following vegetarian diet plan, but still i have lost only 1kg. I followed this diet earlier also, then also i lost only 1kg… I expected more, can you tell, what is wrong??
What modifications were you making? did you eat the soup?
I did eat the soup. Only difference i can think of , is may be somewat lesser water, i could have only 4-5 glasses of water. Also i used to have 1 cup of tea in the morning
the water may be a little low, but not everyone is meant to drink the same amount. did you eat any grains? Muesli? how many bananas? Please keep in ind not all diets work great the first time for everyone…
I really want to shed atleast 4-5 kgs. what changes should be done in my GM diet so that my results are good.
Hi, today is my 5th day, but i lost just 500gms…i go for walking for 45 mins everyday. i feel so sad.. wat wrong i did in my diet plan. But i didnt have wonder soup…
You need the soup, if you read the comments here the most success is found eating the soup. Also what were your modifications. Most people make so many, it just will not work well.
Hiii…. m also on gm diet nd 2day z my 4th day…but m very much addicted of tea..minimum two cup in a day…so is it okie with diet or not??
fine with no sweetener 🙂

Thanks a lot and happy dieting
Hi,
Today is my 3rd day. I had cold coffee in the evening. Otherwise was following the diet plan strictly. Will this effect my weight loss?
Please help.
Should not so long as it did not have sugar and cream, but coffee before bed can be really bad as far as affecting sleep, circadian rhythms and eventually weight loss. Be careful when you eat and drink.
Hi I am on my 5th day.. I can’t eat tomatoes so what can I substitute it with n secondly any recipes on how to cool d brown rice? Thanks
Just pick another veg (not corn). Cook the rice how you like it 🙂
I lost 3.2 kg I dint give 100%. but this is really doing good for me.
Best fruits and veggies which helps in weight loss.
Papaya, Melon’s (Musk, water sun etc), strawberries, blue berries, Kivi, Guava, Figs.
Ash guard, Cabbage, Beans and carrots, Spinach.
we should know one thing is this is not permanent solution, real challenge is to mentation that weight. So what we can do is avoid rice during night have rotis or fruit bowl or something light and avoid fatty foods.
Few grains are very good. Horse Gram, soybean, jowar and barley. we can use them during off diet.
Actually not for most people, they have little health value, little nutrients and unless they are organic and not bleached and over processed, they are junk. Especially to those with thyroid issues and weight problems. Grains can be a huge issue, hence no grains on this diet, sorry.
5th day what I did. had little rice with chopped tomatoes. and I made soup of tomatoes and whole day.
did you have any fat in the dish?
I will be starting my Gm diet by tomorrow.Right now I am 70 kgs and have hypothroid. Let see how it affects me positively… Waiting to loose at least 3-4 kgs…
Will let you know on 7 day about the weight.
Thanks & Regards
Megha
make sure you get good fats, I will say if you have thyroid issues you should not eat gluten! No grains and make sure on the diet you include a little extra good fat like olive, coconut, palm or animal oils/fats.
Which products have gluten and also I am gng for GM vegetarian diet… Will I really get results as per my height my weight should be 55 , therefore while doing Gm diet I can go for gym…as I am not receiving good results while gng on for gym as well fr 45 minutes…
Day 2 of my Gm diet ..I felt hungry very often today….started with boiled potato and then had boiled vegetables carrots, baby corn , sweet corn, capcicum., later had 6 glasses of water till noon…and now planing to have soup… Had gym yesterday ….was 68.1 yesterday.,.will go gym today and also will check weight.
Just wanted whether u can hv dal on the 4th day without oil
no…. sorry, soup veg soup, bananas and milk…
Hi,
Today is my 4th day and i am on Milk and Banana , what else can be eat apart from soup on this day as banana is tough to eat all the time.
Also i had 2 spoon namkeen yesterday at a relative house , will it effect much on my plan ?
can hurt you big time, just never know… I would not quit though 🙂
Hi,
I am 26 and am not overweight. I am looking to detox and loose some extra inches & Kgs for an upcoming event.
I am on a third day of my diet and its tough. I have some doubts, please help.
1. Is it fine to a have a biscuit a day . ( need some energy/ taste buds ask for it 😉 )
2. I gym along with my diet, is there some energy substitute, I can have
3. Is it fine to have a green day during the regime
4. Can i use knor vegetable soup the forth day
5. For brown rice, can i use spices to cook it.
1) no
2) coconut water
3) green day? you mean juicing greens?
4) you can have soup for day 4.
5) yes on spices and you need some fat so use some good oil
Me, my wife, and my daughter are in the GM DIET plan
NOTE: We are vegetarians.
A. Please advise the quantity of each diet for each day (for eg. No of bananas & quantity of milk on day 4 / portion or weight of vegetables / fruits on day 1, 2 & 3)
B. Can we take red kidney bean instead of beef on day 5? If so, quantity.
C. Please also advise items to avoid as vegetarians on this plan.
Thanks in advance.
Natarajan@Dubai
A) Look in the sidebar at the top, click each day, it tells you QTY. Day 4 examples, 4 to 5 bananas max all day.
B) Beans OK, 1.5 cups cooked or so, you need at least a teaspoon of good oil with it for the fat. Meat has fat.
C) Avoid anything we don’t mention. NO sugar, NO grains, etc. You can have spices, salt, tea with no sugar, etc…
Good luck to you all 🙂
Hi,
1.Today is 3rd day im follwing GM diet today i had kiran melon juice only with water but withthout sugar, it will create any problem or do i need to start from again?
2.another thing while we taking soup shall we add salt and pepper litle amount?
3.While we taking brown rice and tomato shall i boil both with mixing of brown rice and tomato and little amount of salt and chilly powder?
1) Just keep going…
2) Yes you can have any dried herbs and spices you like, and salt/pepper.
3) That is fine, and you need at least a teaspoon of oil, like olive oil, any time you replace meat you need some fat….
Hi,
Today is my 5th day but i had 3 tomatoes only i cant have tooo much feel vomit sensation but i had more water. Is that is ok?
Please, if you feel sick back off. DO what your body is telling you, We are not doctors, just trying to say that if you feel sick don’t eat for the sake of the diet. Maybe try a banana or 2, something that sounds better on your belly.
where I can get gm wonder soup? or it can be prepared in home
you make it https://www.gmdietworks.com/recipes/vegetarian-recipes/gm-diet-wonder-soup-recipe.html
Hi, I am on my 3rd day of GM diet and has lost 1 1/2 kg. just wanted to check that can I have tea with milk. half cup day and eve.. I have been taking tea with milk once a day . I am addict to tea and can’t stop having it. also can I use 1 teaspoon of olive oil to stir fry my veggies..please reply
tea is fine, no sweetener though. you can add oil to your veg/brown rice in replacement on meat, if you need some on your reg. veg days, a 1/2 teaspoon only.
Hi ,
Today is my first day for the 7 days diet plan.. can i have tetly tea with lemon flavour with 1/4th tp of sugar.
Also please suggest me for Day 2 can i add salt and chilly a bit for cooked vegs which i will cook without oil?
tea fine, NO sugar….. salt is fine, no oil…. I guess a 1/2 teaspoon would not hurt, go over that though and it will not be good.
Hi today is my 6th day.
So far I reduced 4kg during these diet period.
My doubts:
1.On 6th day, shall I take chicken instead of brown rice. If can take chicken means, it’s fried or boiled.
2.After one week diet plan should I follow up this frequently to sustain the weight or can leave.?
1) chicken better, baked or boiled best.
2) My suggestion is to now change your lifestyle, cut bad grains, sugars, etc. maybe do it again in 2 weeks or a month, SO do it more frequently, up to you.
Can I consume chicken instead of beef?
yes
can i include boiled sweet corn in my veggie meal???
a little sweet corn to season a dish so to speak, but I would typically say no if it comes out of a can. They is little to no redeeming health value from canned sweet corn.
Dear Admin,
Today is my 4th day and all going well so far.Thanks to GM diet and you.I am a pure vegetarian.Please advise what i can have tomorrow(on 5th day) and day after(6th day).Also,the tomato that i am suppose to have tomorrow needs to be fried/cooked or raw?Brown rice i guess should be boiled?Please advise so that i can prepare my food for tomorrow accordingly
https://www.gmdietworks.com/general-motors-diet/gm-diet-vegetarian.html
Here is the vegetarian plan. don’t fry anything. boil the rice, also when replacing rice for meat at at least a teaspoon of good oil…
Thanks a lot.Can i eat white rice instead of brown.Will that effect the diet plan?
yes
Sir,3 questions please:
1).On day 5,can I have white rice(boiled) instead of brown
2).To add fat,can I fry 6-7 tomatoes in 2 spoon olive oil and then consume them all during the day.
3).On day 6,can I fry the vegetables in 1-2 spoons olive oil or i need to have raw/boiled.
Thanks a lot for your quick responses.
1) yes
2) yes, assuming these are what’s eaten with the meat replacement.
3) no, no extra oil unless it is the meat portion of meal. you can eat raw or steam/boil
I saw lot of comments. On the third day itself they lost weight upto 3 kgs. Am also ony third day, no change in my weight. Is that mean am not following the diet properly? Or i can c d result at the end of my diet???? But am following the diet very strictly…
Weight loss can vary. Are you doing anything additional? coffee with sugar? adding grains of any kind? what did you day 1 and 2 look like?
I wont drink coffee n tea even milk too… no grains.
And also i have another question. Am working in night shift(us shift). Just now i came home from work. Now d time is 5 am. Today is my fourth day of diet. Had one banana and drank two glasses of water. Will the timings affect my diet? And s that a reason of no change in my weight?
Well working off shifts yes can seriously affect weight loss, your circadian rhythms have a ton to do with it. But hang in there, there’s nothing you can do about that other than get back on 1st shift one day. That’s why you really need to be seriously healthy, you cannot afford to eat poorly.
I started my diet on saturday. So i had my diet as usual in the day shift. Still following the same way. But am following very strictly and eating healthy only. Also am not feeling tired because of the shifts. But i just wanna make sure that can i c any result at the end of my diet or there is no use of the diet because of the shifts????? 🙁
Thanks a lot Sir,
On day 6,can I fry the vegetables in 1-2 spoons olive oil or I need to have raw/boiled.I am a pure vegetarian and i will have the same along with the rice.
Only if the veg is in a meal that replaces meat, if no meat was called for in that meal then no. Just boil it or eat raw 🙂
vaishu, yes you can lose weight, my point is being on a different shift, no matter what the diet is, it may hinder it. It also may not. It’s just tougher.
Hmm thank you. yeah am clear with that now.
Day7 going on..can i replace brown rice with sona masuri rice i.e. white rice?

2.Can I have fresh corn boiled on second & third days?
3.Can I use honey to season the fruits?
Please reply …Thanks In Advance….
1) Yes, a couple, but no sweetener at all
2) No, well maybe like a quarter of a cup along with other veg.
3) No, fruit is already sweet
Thanks for the reply..Today is my second day of diet.I have lost 4 Lbs till today morning..
WOW
I have one more question…Can I have buttermilk n coconut water during this diet ?
hie. iam 38 with high blood pressure and taking bp tablets. Can l take this diet please reply
You will have to ask your doctor, I cannot give medical advice. Keep in mind the foods here are whole natural foods, healthy….
Can a diabetic person take bananas in this diet programme. If not, pls suggest alternate, since they are job goers (10 to 5 pm).
People have followed it, read here… http://www.gmdietforum.com/threads/diabetic.93/
I just cannot give medical advice, however if you want to do it and are no matter what, then do a fruit that best suits your condition.
Hi,
Once completing the 7 day cycle…. what next?
Should I repeat of keep some gap in between..
Up to you, I prefer folks wait at least 2 weeks before doing again. Now you have to make the decision to make a lifestyle change, no matter the diet the weight will not stay off if you don’t make changes.
With rice, can I have curd or daal?
what would be in the daal?
hello, I just started the GM diet vegetarian, I’m vegan so I have no problems removing food. The only thing that worries me is the amount, I do sports and I need energy, and day 5, only a cup of rice and six tomatoes seems to me little by little throughout the day, I do not think I will arrive in the evening only with that food, I can eat rice also in the evening and many more tomatoes? (I eat brown rice and a cup converted into Italy is about 180 grams) correct me if I’m wrong.
I also wanted to know the spices are granted? type pepper, nutmeg, etc..
I guess the avocado and almonds are prohibited….
answer me thanks
Well eating the meat is plenty of food, read the regular day 5 plan, do as follows and add a bowl of rice to each meat sub and try that. Also add a little oil to each dish. You can also have the soup. Spices are fine, almonds no and avocado no, on this diet of course.
shilpa priya, no buttermilk, yes on coconut water.
i m a sugar patient . so eating bananas is nt suitable for me . is der any oher substitute for it dat i can go for .it ll be of great help.
whatever fruit you can have do that
Thanks….G.M
I lost 12 KG from last three weeks.
Past-94 KG
Now-82 KG…
Thanks again …
Keep it up, eat right, good fats, lots of veg, fruit, etc!!!!

Hi, I m almost at the end of day 4, I did not want to check my weight but I did. I do not reduce a single pound. I was 64.4kg one the day 1 and its same one day 4 too. I am feeling weak now. Should I continue the plane for rest days? please suggest me as soon as possible.
Up to you, what has you diet been like? any cheats? are you eating the soup? How many bananas did you eat today?
i am on six day of my GM diet. Lost around 3 kgs. can u suggest can i take orange juice(without sugar) on 7th day.
no orange juice.
hi , this is my 10th day and i have lost 12kgs .
this diet works wonderfully well if u follow it religiously . i did not take salt , sugar (just a little in my cough syrup) , and oil any kind .
i just have a doubt , that what diet should i follow after my gm diet gets over ? i want to start weightlifting and i was bulky before and would really want my body to shape up now . please help
eat balanced meals, a protein, lots of veg, you need a starch like some white rice or root veg (potatoes, yams, etc). If you are eating sugar, drinking sugared drinks and such it will cause issues. Also beware of grains.
Today is my third day, the 1st day i have reduced 1 kg and the 2nd day amazing 700 gms. a total of 1.7kgs in 2 days.
the second day i did not feel the fatigue to the extent what i felt on the first day, however was a little tired evening. had only vegetables. started with 2 medium sized baked potato and a little raw beans.
had cucumber and tomato with me sliced to eat through the day, used to eat a slice whenever i felt uncomfortable.
for lunch i had baked vegetables,
Dinner was with raw beans,cucumber and tomatos. (intake was lesser when compared to the first day)
feeling excited with this diet, looks really good.
3rd day, today has started well with melons,cantaloup,cucumber,tomatos (all in small qty)
shall post tomorrow again about how today goes!!!
Best Regards
Sachin
Keep it up 🙂
hi,
today i completed 6 and a half day lost 3kgs evening i am going in party so have to break this diet now. 6 and a half day will also help na. I wont eat much but will have chicken and roti. Is it fine of 6 and a half day. Kindly advice asap.
Roti is not OK, in fact it’s bad. Sorry.
hey i had two pieces of chicken with roti and 2 pieces of fish on 7th day(last day at lunch) of my GM diet i lost arond 3 kgs. Kindly advice
Roti? Well your not doing the diet right sorry. No grains…. You will find unfortunately those empty useless nutrient-less calories are a diet killer.
3 questions before begining:
No sweetener or sugar, but stevia?
Lactose intolerant here, can I replace the milk or just omit it?
Wonder soup can be taken on day one, and every single day?
Thank a lot!
Stevia causes you to be more hungry, stay away from it during the diet. Any no calorie sweetener will, it still stimulates an insulin response. No other sugar. replace with almond or coconut milk. soup taken any day when you need food 🙂
Hi,
I did GM diet lost 3kgs and again put on the same. Again starting GM diet form today onwards. Can i have lemon water in the morning. I am addicted to tea. Can i have tea once in a day. Kindly suggest me the proper diet. i really need to reduce.
tea fine no sweetener!!! Your sweet tea is one way weight gain can happen. How did you eat after the diet? Did you go back to the way you used to eat before?
but yes i take green tea twice
Can I use Morning Star Farms Grillers Original Veggie Burgers or Fish in place of the beef or brown rice?
you can do fish….
i had 4 pieces of pear on day 4 by mistake, is it ok please reply
assuming you did not overeat banana you should be OK…
i started yesterday, but in the morning 7 am itselft i had two spoons of rice after my gym only i planned for this diet so started eating fruits throughout the day(had half a pineapple,2 oranges and 1 slice of watermelon and 1 slice of apple and one pomegranate for dinner) today i had cooked beans,carrot and capsicum for breakfast with black salt , cooked bottleguard and cabbage for lunch with raw mango(mango veg) and the same cabbage and bottle guard cooked for nit dinner. dinner yet to have… for evening snacks i had cucumber. more over am doing exercise at gym per day per hour. Suggest me am i doing correct. and guide me how to proceed further…
If that is for day 1 you are so way off, you may need to just start over and follow the plan as we give it.
But no kgs is reduced so far…
how much is one cup of brown rice? one cup of rice before cooking or after? is it ok to eat the one cup of rice throughout the day?
yes throughout the day, that is measured uncooked.
Hello
Can i have tea and salt
Please ans
Tea no sweetener yes. Salt, spices, herbs, pepper yes.
I cheated and ate some bread and French onion soup on day 4…
YIKES, so sorry. If it were me I would start over in a few days…
hey I am on third day of diet plan. I am following it, but have not yet measured weight to compare.
I just wanted to ask one thing. I have taken Tea(with milk and sugar) for the last two days .
Will it have any adverse effect?
Could anyone please tell?
Thanks!
Then you are ruining the diet and doing something unhealthy. Sorry. YES it will affect you, drinking a sugary fluid is so unbalanced, so bad for your blood sugar.
ohh 🙁
so should i start this all over again?
I really would, you need to understand that when you drink carbs like that on their own with no real food/protein it really messes with your body’s system, blood sugar, etc…
is there any alternative to brown rice in gm diet
quinoa or white rice to start…
should smokers stop smoking while taking this Diet
yes, and if you can stop forever 🙂
should smokers stop smoking completely while taking this Diet
i needed answer
Please read the answer and don’t post 2 times, YES!!!!!!!!
Hie. Thank you very much for this diet. We appreciate. One cup of rice on day 5. ls this a boiled cup or one cup not boiled?
It’s measured uncooked.
What can I use instead of rice
Quinoa
Hi,
I don’t like plain milk. Can I add Bournvita/ Badam powder to milk ?
do those really sounds healthy? no you cannot use them sorry…
Hi,
What all spices are permitted during this program. Can I use Garlic powder or Garlic Salt? Also, Is the Brown Rice supposed to be taken plain or can add some veegie to it.
Thanks
Those are fine, dried herbs and spices are OK. Brown rice goes with the veg listed on each days menu.
Sure thanks. But on Day 5 its plain cooked Brown rice with raw tomatoes ?
yes but you can have cooked tomatoes, and soup. also the rice needs some good oil, because as a meat substitute it needs fat
HI ,
I lost 4 kgs on 6th day,,tomorrow is the last day 🙂 thanks guys for the help .
Great JOB!
Hi,
Today was my day 4 & I m feeling good. but I had 3 bananas & 1 cup milk with a serving of soup in the evening. I could not get myself to eat more than 3 bananas since I was full. Please advise if this will effect the amount of nutrients that I have taken & shd I compensate by eating the rest of bananas ( 3 more I guess) tomorrow. I strictly followed the meal plan rest of the days. Thanks!
Awesome job, 3 is totally fine 🙂
Glad to hear you did not eat 8
Thanks Kevin.
And for today (day 5) can I have the tomatoes cooked in a bit of olive oil with some standard Indian spices & onions? will it destroy the uric acid content? As for rest of the meal plan, I am having the Indian cottage cheese (paneer 100 gms) + brown rice (weighing 100 gms after cooking). And of course lots of the wonder liquid water! btw I have already lost 3 kilos since day 1 morning before starting the diet.
yes cooked fine.oil is fine because if you are replacing meat you need some fat, meat has fat, so should substitute..
Kevin,
sorry for asking a silly question about the uric acid in tomatoes! I believe we r taking the tomatoes to drain the uric acid out of the body & not to consume it, tomatoes themselves have less of it.
actually I was simultaneously checking on this diet at some other site & the way they have written is not clear at all.
Tomatoes are great, unless you have SIBO (have issues with night shades). What you need to watch is sugar and wheat.
thanks for the info. so far so good. but now the difficult part is what to eat during the break of 2 weeks once I finish. I have to do at least 2 more cycles of this diet.
Hi,
I want to start GM Diet.. Kindly provide me few clarifications..
1. Please mention preferred vegetables.
2. Can vegetables be microwave cooked.
3. Can we add salt & Chilli
4. In skimmed milk can we add sugar (sugar free tablets)
Awaiting for ur reply..
Thanking You,
CHANDRIKA
Hyderabad,India
1) We list these on each day of the plan.
2) Never microwave anything.. Steam or with a little oil depending on the day, we tell you each day.
3) salt, spices and herbs are yes OK.
4) NEVER EVER eat fake sugar, your body is not tricked, it contributes heavily to weight gain and health issues.
Hi,
on day 7 if I have brown rice for 2 meals how much quantity (in grams) can I have for each meal?
please give me the measurement of cooked brown rice. Thanks!
2 cups
Hi,
Please let me know, how can we cook vegetables without oil?
Also, I drink milk everyday and very fond of it, but in GM diet plan, milk is to be consumed only on 4th day. Can i drink on other days too or only on 4th day…? and i don’t like plain milk. i put bournvita in milk, can i take that also ?
steam them. no milk everyday, stick to the plan. bournvita is terrible for you and will never be a contributing factor to weight loss, but it will certainly help you gain weight.
Hi,
I finished my 7 days yesterday. I have lost 4 kilos in total!! That is very good considering that I have hypothyroid, was on anti-depressant medication for 1 1/2 years which made me gain weight.
I am still not clear about how much cooked brown rice to take on day 7 because I measure in grams on a kitchen scale. Please can you give me the quantity to be taken per meal (2 meals for the day) in grams.
I have to do the diet at least 2 more times!
Thanks for the help all the way.
Nice job, I must stress for you, because of your thyroid, you need to be 100% gluten free….
Ok. I will keep in mind.
and how many grams of cooked brown rice per meal on day 7? Please!
on day 6, I had 75 gms paneer (Indian cottage cheese) with 150 gms cooked brown rice along with the veggies. is that ok ?
day 6 was fine, 2 cups ( I said above), you can look up the conversion.
Hi
i am really unable to prepare the gm wonder soup. i have substitute it with the knor veg soups available in the market. are they good to use? i have followed the diet but only lost around 3kg need to loose more. please advise
No, but you have to do what you have to do 🙂 canned soups are terrible for loads of reasons. Do your best though and not stress over it.
Hi
Whenever I am having boiled vegetables, can I add pinch of salt and black pepper to them?
Add whatever dried herbs, spices, pepper and salt you like 🙂
I personally diet much better when adding spicy peppers…
Ok. Thank you.
What kind of light exercises can I do during GM diet plan? Is 15-20 min of brisk walk enough?
Hello
Exercise is up to each person, I like HIT or Burst training. Short burst working out, better for the body, just make sure you get your heart rate up during whatever you do.
Hi,
I lost exactly 1 kilo each of fat, muscle & water while on the GM diet. I had done Body Composition Analysis before & after the 7 day vegetarian diet & this is the result. Is this expected or results can be better?
One way to improve is by adding meat that I eat .. lamb, poultry, sea food on the days 5-7 so that I can increase chances of losing more fat & decrease the muscle loss.
I don’t take beef. So please advise if any plan is available which includes these foods. I am regularly doing exercise. On the diet I did some moderate exercise on days 4 & 5 but felt light headed & a bit dizzy. So did not do workouts on 6-7 days.
Thanks.
Hello….
Those numbers even with that test can be off some. The key to me to this diet is to get people off of high grain and processed food diets. That is the real problem when it comes to you feeling light headed, not this diet. Your body will react to the fact you have cut sugar, processed foods, etc, It takes time for the body to adjust, some longer than others. Did you say you are looking for a diet plan to do after the diet? Yest hose proteins are a fine substitute for beef….
Btw I am 45 year old Indian women!
Can I have some dry fruits like raisins almonds walnut? If yes then on which day.. Or strictly no to dry fruits?
No, not on this diet. I love dried fruits, but keep in mind they are pure sugar so to speak. so never over do them.
Hi,
I was asking if a GM diet plan is available giving exact portions of chicken, lamb, fish as substitutes for beef. This diet definitely works for me. I look & feel much better, so will do more rounds.
Meanwhile will stick to healthy eating habits & exercise.
gotcha, do about 4 or a little more ounces per serving
btw I have started to take greek yogurt so that I get protein minus the fat. is it good?
It was not available earlier in the country I live, Qatar but found it recently at a local supermarket selling organic foods. These organic foods come from USA & are so expensive here!
not really good on the yogurt no. I bet they are expensive. Just do the best you can. I have to do the same 🙂
Hi there,
I just wanna know :-
1) can I add salt,black pepper(crushed),bit of lime drops to salads and soups?
2) can u suggest me something other than brown rice…like chapati?
3) can I add bottle gourd(gheea or dudhi) with onion and carrots in soup ?
thanks before hand… 🙂
1) Yes, you can also do other dried herbs and spices.
2) No bread, no way on this diet. Try white rice or quinoa
3) Sure, just not too much
thx for help….
1)Is there any other substitute than brown rice?I m allergic to it 🙁
2)when can I hv sprouts? or cottage cheese(paneer)?any lentils?
3)day 5 with only 6 tomatoes and brown rice..?I m working …hv to walk a lot….can we I something else?
thx…
About 1 spoon of cornflour can be added in vegetable soup?
no, very against corn for so many reasons.
hi……… guys this is my day 2 and i am very tried…….. can we eat salt during these 7 days …??
because my mom s telling that without sugar and salt our body ll lose the energy sp can some one tell fast that can i intake salt with veg.
Salt, pepper and spices are great. go for it. Just never over do salt. There is sugar in fruit called fructose. carbs give you energy not refined sugar, it’s toxic and no good for you.
Hi,
Please send me the sample diet plan for day 5 vegetarian as I could nt find much for day 5 vegetarian plan. Also let me know what all can I use as a substitute for beef. I am a vegetarian but I can take eggs. When can I have eggs and in which form.
Look up on this page, it says day 5. I would do whole eggs, 3 per meat sub.
You mean to say whole eggs 3 per meat subs means bolied egg white + yellow part? And that too 3 per day..for days 5,6,7 each along with brown rice? And can i take cottage cheese also and in how much quantity?
yes, but you can do 2, or do 1/2 cup cottage cheese. All of the egg!
Either eggs or cottage cheese or both I can take?
you can do both just not at the same time…
Ok thnx
Hi,
It is one week break today since I finished my first round of GM-vegetarian diet. Feeling good, eating well & doing exercise.
Yesterday I had samosa chat (yummy!) + some jalebis though. My favorite Indian snacks!
I have gained about 1 1/2 kilos since the diet. But generally being careful of what I eat, also weighing the portions & counting calories.
Keep in mind you can eat lower calorie processed foods and grains and gain loads of weight. It’s great your trying a new start, but you really must look to all 100% whole natural foods. Good fats, balanced meals, etc. Counting calories will ruin your body over time, you are making a new set point in you body as to how your body deals with calories, once you lower, you will gain weight so easily if you ever increase calories. Your weight loss will also stop.
Are boiled eggs allowed on day 6 and 7 ?
as a meat replacement yes, 2 or 3 each time.
Hi author!
Good advice, thanks for words of encouragement.
I generally don’t take processed foods. I am trying to control eating grains though avoiding them totally is difficult for me. So I am working on gradually reducing their quantity these past few days….and yes getting used to eating more of fruits, salads! I liked the GM wonder soup when on the diet, so I am planning to have it today though I am not on the diet..may be include some more varieties of veggies to the standard recipe.
Thanks for the info on calorie counting.
Mushrooms can be included in vegetables?
Sure, just a few, don’t over do them.
Hi….its my 3rd day..1 day i loose 1kg….2day 1/2 kg and 3rd day….not ….whts wrong with my diet plz…help….

Hi .. I m addicted to tea.. Can I have black tea with jaggry with once a day during the diet plan?
no, it’s still sugar…
Will eating 1 roti a day post-diet equal weight gain? What is a substitute for roti? Pls reply
Yes, there is no redeeming health value in roti at all. I eat no bread or grains here. May one day eat white rice but not now. I eat 3 good meals a day with good starches like potato, yams and plantains.
Hi!!! I’m allergic to banana so can I opt apple with milk on 4th day
Hi also wants to know what to eat on 5th day and when…..how many meals a day. I’m pure vegetarian so not able to follow the diet Chart of 5th day consisting of beef and hamburger.
Apple is fine yes, here is the veg program 🙂
https://www.gmdietworks.com/general-motors-diet/gm-diet-vegetarian.html
i have just started this plan and i want know that can we have milk with complan (kesar and badam) mixed in it. and what about non-veg??
No, you can have it on day 4 when we say drink milk though. Be careful drinking milk like this daily and often. Non veg? Look at the top of the page in the right hand sidebar, we layout each day for you.
Hi,
Can you please tell me what are the bad grains..so I can have better meals after GM diet
anything with gluten, wheat, semolina. I would stick with a organic white basmati rice. Quinoa OK. Also consider buckwheat.
What are pecautions to be taken during this diet?
And I dont eat beef can i eat egg or chicken?
1) Don’t cheat 2) Yes you can eat eggs or chicken….
on5day we have to take brown rice n tomatoes so we have to eat brown rice during breakfast lunch dinner? can we cook brown rice lyk biryani?
yes and since you are replacing meat add some good oil, you need some fat. Yes cook it
so 1bowl rice in breakfast n 1 bowl in lunch n dinner rite?
yes
Hi, Today is my 5th day, am enjoying this diet. I can feel lighter now and i have reduced some weight. I havent checked the weight yet. Today i am having 5 tomotos and Soya Chunks with tomoto, salt and pepper. Looking forward for 6th and 7th day.
Take Care all…. Have a wonderful day !!

yes you can add some sprouts 🙂
hi,
today is my 6th day and I was wondering if I can drink green tea when on the diet.
thank you
tea is fine no sweetener.
Hi,
Wonderful plan..
I am starting my 1st day today…
I would like to ask, is soy sauce allowed? instead of salt? and for spices, is chili flakes allowed?
And I am a little confused for day 5 to 7…
1. day 5 and 6, do we eat the brown rice for breakfast, lunch and dinner?
2. and for the 7th day, it was mentioned only up to 2 cups? so when is the best time to consume it?
Thank you.
1) no soy, most of them have wheat. salt, pepper, spices, chili flakes are all OK.
2) yes, you can do white, and you need some good fat like olive oil when replacing meat. Preferably do eggs or curds when replacing meat, look at the Indian version in the bottom of the site footer.
3) Through out the day, not at once.

Hello. Hang in there, most food cravings have nothing to do with hunger. Basically your dopamine levels drop when you don’t snack or get your favorite foods. You really just have to fight through it.
Hi guyz !
today is my 2nd day
plz tell can we eat anything else than tomatos on day 5?
what all can we eat on day 5
plz teply fast
Just pick another veg or 2 other than corn or peas. You will be OK.
can i hav diet biscuit ?
not so much quantity …but less please reply
no, never, run from those. There is nothing weight loss about them. If anything they cause it. They are nutrient dead and so bad for you.
Dear to make biryani of brown rice can we add sm vegetables in it and hw many bananas on day 4 and hw many glasses of milk, and one more thing we can take tea only without suger. Bcs sm times suger is imp for bodu..
veg is fine. Day 4, it’s 4 bananas. 3 milk. tea is OK NO sugar.
coconut water? okay na…
Sure, try to stay around 2 glasses at the most.
can i lose 20kg in this diet plan?
not in one week, however it will really depend on a lifestyle change whether or not you can afterwards in between rounds.
day 5… reduced 3 kgs 🙂
nice 🙂
Can u plz tell whether the one cup measure of brown rice is of cooked or uncooked?
uncooked
Plz tell do we have to eat rice in all our meals?
no, only when we say to. Where does it say to eat it in every meal for 7 days?
Hello,
I am planning to start this diet plan….
Pls tell me alternative for tomatoes on day5.its allergic for me to have tomatoes raw.
Is it ok to have cokked tomatoes with onion & chilly.
Pls reply ASAP
Cooked is great, and a little onion for seasoning is fine along with spices, herbs, etc
Hi
I am on day 3,and already lost 1.5 kg,feeling great!!!!!!!!
Are you allowed to substitute tofu for beef because tofu is high in protein as well?
I don’t recommend due to loads of new research, my opinion based on research due to health issues with it, it’s just so processed. However yes you can. I have no idea how it may affect things.
Can v eat corn during day 2
poor choice in veg technically a grain, if you do, season with it so to speak, no more than a quarter cup or so a day with veg.
Hello, my age is 24, I am from India and I’m starting the diet plan today.
Can I substitute Rice with Oats or Bulgur (Daliya)?
And buttermilk instead of milk?
Hello
No, this is gluten free, you can do white rice, millet or quinoa though. Sorry. totally against those here for many reasons. Personal choice, but on this plan no. buttermilk instead of milk, go for it…
Hi, Can we smoke during the diet?
beware of smoking it alters you health and can hinder future weight loss.
Can I have sugar free gum all days of the diet?
no, think nutrient dense on this program, rather than processed junk foods. That fake sweetener is so toxic. sorry.
on the first day of the diet.. can i have jackfruit,mangoes and purple grapes too. i have read somewhere that these fruits are high in calories.. on the fifth day, what should i have brown rice with??? can i eat white rice or vermicelli instead of brown rice??? i usually eat rice with curds or dal. i can’t just have cooked rice without rasam or curds. can i atleast add some salt to my cooked rice???
Yes, they are a little higher, however you can have some just don;t over do each of them. And post diet, keep your fruit servings to 2 or 3 a day next to some protein for balance. white rice is fine. salt and all spices and herbs are great, as are peppers. if replacing meat, the rice needs some fat with it.
on the fourth day.. can i add sugar to my milk???
No, unless you want to gain weight. Sugar is killing your health. If you want to truly get healthy and lose weight cut all sugar. Sorry, just trying to help, but it’s true. I live in the US, the capital of weight loss pills and fake sweeteners, and I can tell you people are bigger than ever. It’s about a lifestyle change if you want to truly lose weight and keep it off.
Hello,
I stared following this diet. tomorrow is 5th Day of my diet. As per diet, I can one cup rice but my question is,
one cup cooked or uncooked ?
measured uncooked
Hi,
I am Hypothyroid patient. I did this diet two weeks ago and reduced only 1 kg :-(. And seriously no cheating.
Now i have again started and today is my 3rd day but reduced nothing till now. Please advise.
Regards,
Bhawna
It’s tough if you have thyroid problems. You do have to go 100% gluten ad sugar free. I would consider for a couple of weeks following the plans on this page (1 for meat eaters, 1 for vegetarians). Pick on. http://gmdietforums.com/forums/gm-diet-after-day-7.6/ Then ask any questions.
So many people asked after the 7 day GM diet plan, what meal plan should be followed, can we eat everything like before or should a diet plan b followed before starting this GM diet again. its easy to loose weight but the question is how to maintain that weight loss nothing about that is mentioned here.
In 1 week u can loose from 1-5 kg but the question is after that 1 week GM diet what should be done?????
Most people cannot go back to how they ate before, I certainly cannot. If I eat even really healthy and add some sugar, wheat, etc I gain weight. It’s not the fat and real foods that get to me. Here is what I have done and I have 100% lost all excessive weight. This is common plan for people that go really nutrient dense, sugar and gluten free. You can ask questions on the forum if you have any.
Here is a plan for meat eaters and vegetarians, top 2 posts.

Can we have green tea with honey while doing GM diet ??
no, sorry it’s like drinking sugar water. you can have a touch of stevia or no sweetener.
Hi…its my first day on diet plan iam following it strictly but melons are in plan but in these days they are not available anywhere near any effective subsitute please? 2nd.i daily go for running for abt 3kms should i continue with that or take break????
workout as you feel you can, just don’t over do it, may be even take a day off. other fruit is OK, you don’t have to have melons.
On 7th day, what kind of juices i can take? List 4 please
try to go fresh, if you cannot, pure grape, apple, cherry or pineapple.
Today im on 6th day. I lost 3 kgs till now. But on 5th day i took 3.5 liters of water, 1 cup of rice, half cup of unboiled sprouts, 4 raw tomatoes, 1 cup of tomato soup made by 2 tomatoes and 1 onion. From night i had loose motion. Why it happened? Shall i continue the diet or stop it. Please suggest.
3.5 liters of water is just to much to me, you are draining out out all of the good minerals in your body. add some coconut water in, or herbal tea not sweetened or you can have a little stevia.
I have papaya and melon at home. Can i make it as a juice for 7th day? Can i take banana coated with honey on 6th or 7th day?
No, no and no on the banana. That’s pure sugar and if you want to gain weight, coating honey on bananas would be the way ti do it.
Yes you can juice those fruits.
Thank you 🙂
Today i have started GM diet. I have Light BP i am taking BP Tablet MACSORT 20 morning one tablet. Can i do this GM Diet. Can i take continuous tablet.
Please advice.
never stop meds unless you ask a doctor. Keep doing what you must.
Hi I started gm diet bt had wheat roti n Maida roti at nights of day 1 n day as I was feeling hungry..shd I continue my diet or restart again..plz reply
I would wait a day or 2 and start again. And if you have hyper thyroid, I can assure you cutting wheat and all gluten is far more important than worrying about cabbage and goitrogens. 2 worst things for your thyroid are gluten and sugar.
And one thing more I hav hypothyroidism…can I hav cabbage in da soup
I say cut the goitrogens for sure, so no cabbage.
@author
thanq so my for ur reply 🙂
Hi,
I am on my 4th day. Haven’t much cheating. Had half a cup of tea on the first day and half cup coffee on second day. Haven’t lost any weight till now. Today I woke up with a head ache and its continuing. Why is so?
was there sugar in the tea and coffee? what did you eat day 2? Coming off caffeine alone can cause headaches for a few days, not to mention detox from processed foods and sugar.
Yes, tea and coffee had sugar, but I really had very little. I didn’t have headache till yesterday. It started today only. should I stop and start afresh?
little is too much, if you want to lose weight and keep it off go sugar free. And gluten free to start. I would wait a few days and try again, make sure you follow the plan close. Example, day 2 you need the potato and butter or olive oil. Most people skip it and it’s a huge mistake. Hang in there 🙂
Had only vegetables,salad and soup on the second day.
Then you are not following the plan, so sorry, please make sure you read each day carefully.
Hi I am the 4day of diet going on good .and healthy….. On 5th day can I have onions and tomatoes sauted in little oil with pepper and slightly salted for taste as I don’t like to have plain cooking tomatoes.garnighing with coriander and mint is ok.pl advise.
yes you can, Herbs, salt, pepper, spices, peppers you can have anytime on food.
Thanks author for your immediatly reply .On 5th day only brown rice or any type of rice is fine and what is the quantity for a day.
I prefer white jasmine or basmati. Brown rice can have too many anti-nutrients. you can other types, just no instant rice.
What is the quantity of rice on 5 th day how much is it measured ? Can I have melon juices on 5th and 6 th day ?
1 cup uncooked measured. No juice, your just drinking loads of carbs. Sorry.
CAN I TAKE NORMAL RICE INSTEAD OF BROWN RICE
Yes 🙂
Hi auther this is my 3rd day of GM PLAN Just want to know that on 4 day do i also
Need to drink 10-12 glass water or onli milk and banana reply plz
You do need to drink some water, but drink as you are thirsty. Don’t ever over do water.
Hi
Im on 5th day of diet plan. Unfortunately i should stop dieting now. Is there any problem of stopping it suddenly?
And 8 to 10 glasses means how many litres?
Sure there will be, and if you just go back to normal eating watch out. You cannot do that on any diet without weight gain. About 1.4 liters
hi, can i have oats or veg soup on day 1 as i really hate eating fruits all day long!!!!! or is there any other alternate
Yes you can have the wonder soup when you like, but homemade wonder soup not some canned veg soup full of junk and chemicals. NO NO on the oats, this is a gluten free plan and I can assure you oats will not help your weight loss right now. Please stick to the plan as much as possible.
Can I eat cooked tomatoes on 5th day
You sure can 🙂
Just wanted to know, how many cups of black coffee a day, can v hv it from day 1, can v hv any amount of green tea from day 1, the day v hv brown rice and tomato, how many times can v hv the rice, can v hv any other vegetables and fruits dat day
1 to 2, no sweetener, unless it’s stevia. same with green tea. read each day carefully then please read here for you rice question https://www.gmdietworks.com/general-motors-diet/gm-diet-vegetarian.html
Hi, Thanks for taking the time to answer everyone’s questions. I am planning on starting the diet day after tomorrow, and I just have a couple of questions:
1. On Day 5, when it says brown rice and tomato: Does that mean only plain tomatoes, or can we cook them using some onions, garlic etc for seasoning?
2. Are there any substitutes to the brown rice? Can we have soya instead?
3. For days 5 and 6, when you refer to 1 cup of rice, does that mean 1 cup cooked rice or 1 cup uncooked rice?
Thank you so much for your help
– Megha
Happy to 🙂
1) Yes, you can spice or season any dish as you like on any day. Peppers, salt, spices, herbs ,etc. White rice is fine as well and it needs good fat like ghee for example, beef has fat so should it’s replacement.
2) Soya, ugh run from it. You can do legumes (better than rice), millet or quinoa.
3) uncooked is how we measure.
Good luck 🙂
i m a 13 year old….
can i follow this diet as i wnt to loose weight b4 navratri strts…
n its xctly 1 week away..?
is it suitable to follow d diet in dis age?
reply asap!
Well look at the list of foods and see what you think. Also you may want to ask your parents to look at it with you. The foods are whole and natural, however I cannot decide for you. So sorry.
I want to start this diet. Before starting, I want to clear some doubts.
I am habituated to tea. if i don’t get tea in the moring and evening I would have headache.
can i have tea?
In day two and three- any vegetable would be fine or some exception is there?
I used to have 3-4 glass of water in the morning. so i wont be able to have 1-2 glass of water in breakfast. Is it fine?
In 4th day, if i want to replace banana, what would be the best replacement? can i have banana + replacement(half-half quantity)?
Is there any known problems/issue i would see during thsi diet?
yes on tea, no sweetener unless it’s stevia. yes no corn, no peas, no carrots or avocado. And BEANS are not a veg. Yes, drink water as you are thirsty. Pick another fruit for day 4, you will be fine. You may feel detoxy coming off sugar, gluten and processed foods the first day but should feel amazing after that.
Hi on day 5 with white rice can I have some dal or black beans curry
yes you can, make sure there is no wheat or sugar in it. It needs some good fat like ghee or olive oil.
Can v really celebrate with a glass of wine on the 7th day
up to you post plan to figure out what is balanced and keeps the weight off. I have posted a couple of plans on the forum to help 🙂
Is there any substitute for brown rice? Is regular rice fine on Day 5 onwards? Also, is wheat rotis without oil better than rice?
Also we need to consume tomatoes on Day 5, can that be in any form? Can we saute it a bit with very little butter (good fat)?
white rice is fine. no roti is not good for you and not a good sub, this a is a gluten free plan. Yes tomato can be in any form, you need good fat if replacing meat you yes butter have some.
hey i hav hypothyroidism..i want to loose 20kgs till end of november..i am in 2nd day of my diet today. wuld i be able to loose..nd just tell me after how much tym we can again start dis program..thanks 🙂
it varies, how were you eating before the diet and how will you eat after will be the key. If you have thyroid issues I assume you know you have to be gluten and sugar free?
HI, I am on day 4, i havnt lost any weight so far. i wanted to ask on day 4 & 5 can we have fruits or vegis as well. or just strictly banana for today and tomato for tomorow?
i am following it religiously then how come no weight loss yet?
What time of the day are you weighing yourself?
day 4 is banana only and milk (unsweetened almond milk is fine) You can have the wonder soup any day. No fruit day 5.
I am have sprouts as well on vegetable day and can i have sprouts on Day 5,6,7 ?
yes, a few with other veg is fine.
i started today ..nd my weight is 64 …can u plz tell me workout plan during this diet!
don;t tear down the first few days until you get protein, read here https://www.gmdietworks.com/exercises
on day 5, we can 1 cup rice and tomoto.
I have seen that 1 cup is approx 200 grams. if it is cooked rice then its too less for whole. and if it is raw then it too much for whole day.
please tell me 1 cup cooked rice or raw rice?
uncooked is how it’s measured.
you can always have less.
Hi..I m on day six and lost 3.90 kg so far….thnxs to gm diet…what food plan to be follow between to diet?
Awesome!
I strongly recommend sugar and gluten free. Checkout the top 2 posts here. http://gmdietforums.com/forums/gm-diet-after-day-7.6/
Hi. I am starting with the diet today. Its going well so far 🙂
I was wondering about day 5. One cup of brown rice and tomatoes. What can i eat the rice with? Can i use any curry/curd. Or should it be plain cooked rice?
And about tomatoes, should i eat only raw tomatoes? Can i add some salt and pepper to tomatoes as i cannot eat raw tomatoes.
Also is it not very less a food for one whole day? I am a working woman and i am worried that i might feel hungry and tired in office if i eat only 1 cup rice and few tomatoes.
Any advice is highly appreciated.
Thank you.
Yes you can, go to the bottom of the page and read the Indian plan.
cooked is fine, or raw, also use salt, pepper, spices and herbs as you like.
1 cup is measured uncooked, so it’s more cooked. Good luck 🙂
I have a question. I am on Day 1 diet and I am eating fruits in the regular interval (say every 1/1.5 hrs) not following something like breakfast, lunch, dinner etc. Is that ok? Or should i eat only as the specified meal of the day?
Yes it is. Just as long as you are spreading the food out that helps.
I M VEGETARIAN,CAN YOU TELL ME,WHAT I CAN EAT IN 5TH DAY,BCOZ 1 CUP OF RICE IS NOT SUFFICIENT FOR WHOLE DAY
it’s, measured uncooked, and you need to ad some fat to each dish because beef normally has fat. With the veg you get and you can have wonder soup there is plenty of food. Look at the Indian version, bottom of the site you will see a link, try that, you can have curd.
can i take green tea? if yes how many cup of tea should take during diet plan?
one more query, daily i am taking lemon water with one spoon of honey, should i continue during diet programme?
Yes, 2 cups a day would be OK, no sweetener unless it’s organic pure stevia.
No, it does nothing for you, other than you are drinking sugar water. Lemon water though is great!
can I have coconut meat on day 1?
No, certainly great after the program, but not the same as eating regular fruit.
Hi, I am vegetarian. Can I replace beef with boiled white chana for one day and brown rice for another day?? Or can I cook brown rice with chana / moong sprout? How is the paneer made with skimmed milk to consume on beef days?? I am on third day of the diet.
Yes you can. No milk on those days. Not the same as curd, which is allowed if you look at the bottom of the site and read the Indian version.
Im in 8th day and I reduced 8 kgs feeling muuucccch happy….
Thank you so much GM (General Motors)
Shall I continue this diet for the rest of the days in this month? or I need to keep myself in this diet for only one week a month?
Please help GM (General Motors) …..
Totally awesome!
You need a minimum of a 2 week break. If you read here, these plans will really help if you do them during your 2 weeks off. Read the top 2 posts. http://gmdietforums.com/forums/gm-diet-after-day-7.6/
Today is 8th day and i have lost only 1 KG 🙁
Was 62.5 before i started and now i am 61.5. I guess i did something wrong, not sure what that is though.. Will try it again after 2 weeks.
Maybe so, join the forum and list what you ate, we can figure it out.
hi i m on day 2 i lost 1kg very 1st day though i cheated myself on day 1 itself,i had some noodles but now i will stick to d diet.shud i continue or start frm day 1 again.plz reply soon
Just keep on going, stay on track though 🙂
Can we do regular exercise during GM diet? I had felt very drained last time when I was gyming during the Diet .
today is my Day 1 of the diet.
It should be very light, look at the links at the bottom of the site, we explain.
You do not want to over do it, you have ZERO protein to rebuild so don’t tear down.
hi, as i am vegetarian.. can i use cottage cheese (paneer) instead of beef??
sure thing….
Hi author, I want to lose weight and hence have started wid d diet today itself.I hav sm queries… First, what is d avg weight loss in 7 days ( I agree it depends on bodytype) but I would appreciate if u giv me a fair idea….. Also, can we incorporate sprouts and chana without restricting limits?? After a week is over, we need to tk a break bfor second cycle or we can head straight if our body allows?
Hello 😉
Average weight loss seems to be around 9 pounds. You can have a few sprouts with your veg but no chana as you like. I think it’s best to lay off at least 2 weeks in between plans. We did, in the forum, add a post GM diet plan for those wanting to stay healthy after. It’s in the After 7 Days section, top 2 posts.
Appreciate ur reply author,just hope to get fitter n report to u!!!:)
Did you see my reply yesterday ??
🙂
Thank you!!
hi,
one of your answer you are saying (I prefer white jasmine or basmati. Brown rice can have too many anti-nutrients. you can other types, just no instant rice.)
does it means that white rice is better then brown rice to eat while diet plan? and what does this “just no instant rice” means?
thanks!
Instant rice is minute rice. Rice should not cook instantly. Yes, to me it’s far better than brown. Most folks in the health world agree.
I started the diet today strictly, but afernoon ended up having a pastry as cudnt say no to frnds bday treat..
Can i continue the diet which i wish to strongly, i am planing a 1 hr workout today to compensate this.
Will that be fine 🙁
Pls help asap.
That does not compensate for bad meals. That’s such a false view pushed by TV. Trust me, when you eat junk food, wheat, etc your body reacts severely especially if you have gluten sensitivities. And the effects can last days, over 3 weeks if you have food sensitivities. It has nothing at all to do with calories. If you maintain the mindset of oh well, I cheated, I will just work out more, you will trust me never lose weight. Sorry, these TV shows and magazines only do this for reader/viewership. Plus we have a culture that has ZERO desire to eat healthy foods every day, we want to cheat and justify doing so because we have family gatherings, or as I hear often it’s cultural. Trust me, there is nothing at all cultural about our trashed, genetically modified, over sugared food supply. Hang in there though 🙂
Hi,
Its my fast on Day 6, Can i have fruits like Day 1.
It sounds like you have no choice. SO just do you best 🙂
Protein is key that way, but obviously you cannot do that.
Thanks a lot 🙂
Hi, what should be the proper diet, after i Finish my day 7.
This can vary per person, dependent on underlying health issues, etc. But each meal to me should have balance of protein, good carbs and good fat. Of course with veg, etc. Gluten free and sugar free will be a huge thing to do if you want to lose more weight. look at the top 2 posts here.. http://gmdietforums.com/forums/gm-diet-after-day-7.6/
can i eat boil rice instead or brown rice?
yes and remember the rice needs good fat when it replaces beef like olive oil.
Hi… Can we have butter milk while this diet???
day 4 only…
One more query, can we have oranges on day 1 or when ever we are asked to have fruits??
You sure can…
I m on my second day
My first day was full off fruits n nothing else
Even from morn I had raw carrot cucumber beetroot…my doubt is I had half fried vege banana
Is it ok?
No, best to stick to the plan. Frying anything is, well, toxic, especially in bad oils like canola, vegetable, etc. However keep rolling. At least you did not eat wheat/flour.
N drank just 2-3 glasses of water per day
Is it ok cuz I don’t like to drink water much
only 2 glasses a day? Not good.
Oh can I at least start 15 glasses of water from day 3?:(
Sure…
1) Don’t over drink. You will know when your done…
2) Throw in some lemon into the water if you can
3) Have a coconut water each day, good to re-mineralize the body after drinking lots of water.
Day 4
Can I add boost in my milk n surely no sugar?
No, sorry, these drinks are pure junk food. There is not 1 thing natural or good about them. Sorry, just read the ingredients, YIKES!

i was wondering if i can have lentils soup (red beans, celery, tomato, onions) for lunch?
lunch when? Beans/legumes are only OK day 5 and 6 as a meat replacement.
Hi,
My question is can we have plain daal or daal ka paani , on day 4???
No – sorry. banana, milk and soup only.
Hi..iam planning to lose weight by gm diet. ..my kid is 8th the old n still breastfeeding feed her at morning n night…so…can I fallow gm diet then?
I am not a doctor and cannot advise, so sorry. I will say if you did it, you need to make sure you have more good fat, good protein daily with each meal, say coconut oil for the fat.
Hey, today is my second day of gm diet, I somehow feel lighter. Anyway I accidentally consumed a banana yesterday. Do I need to start all over again? Revert back asap.
Nope, just keep rolling…
hi ,
this is my first day and in the 2nd day it was mentioned that we can take vegitables cooked or raw ,so can we add some chilli powder or green chillis also to potatos ?
and what type of soup we need to have if we can?
on 4th day ,can we have some museli with skimmed milk or only milk
on 5th day, in addition to tomatos can we have any curry with brown rice or either tomato curry with brown rice ?
Finally can we have buttermilk in any of these days?
please reply.
Yes you can add spices like chilies and such, go for it.
a base veg soup is OK no potato in it.
No museli unless you want to gain weight – NO GLUTEN
Yes you can, make sure when replacing meat you have some good fat.
No buttermilk unless it’s day 4 🙂
on 2nd and 3rd day can we add honey to fruits and vegetable like carrot?
can we add honey for milk on day 4 or sugar free ?
Oh no, you cannot add sugar (That’s what honey is) to food like that. EVER.
Carrot no more than 1 a day.
You have to be sugar free if you ever want to lose weight well and keep it off.
Hi ,
i apologies for my frequent questions
if carrot is only one for a day then what vegetables we need to have and are there any limitations for other fruits and vegetables also
Please mention the list of fruits which can be taken unlimited and which foods are restricted and foods which we need to take only one for a day
in my second day as i like carrots , i had lot many carrots keeping in mind that u have mentioned unlimited
and in the last reply u have mentioned i think u are suggesting to take honey with milk am i correct?
Finally could you please provide a detailed list of foods how we can have from 4th to 7th day
for indian vegatarians ,u were mentioning that we can have tomatos ,it need to be cooked or raw and also with brown rice can we have some curries prepared with little oil and also on days 5,6,7 do we need to have raw mixed vegetable and what else can we take apart of rice as rice we can have as lunch what abt breakfast and dinner can we have 1-2 roti or any other food?
apologies for troubling you with these many questions ,i want to start it again freshly with good understanding of what to take and what not to and follow your diet strictly to acheive weight loss
Thanks in advance and appreciate your guidance.
Regards
priya
NO apology needed here 🙂
1) carrots are fine as a part of a balanced meal. They are technically higher in carbs. So they need to be limited. No corn and no peas as well. People literally tend to eat only those 2 veg, 2 of which are not vegetables. So I am trying to get people to diversify. NO, where did you read I said take honey in milk. I don;t even understand the concept of adding sugar (honey) to milk. Unless I wanted to gain weight.
We give example of foods on each page, tomato can be raw or cooked. Vegetables for day 6, go local, what do you have. There has to be more than carrot, peas and corn. Curry is fine assuming you are using good fat like olive oil, ghee, or coconut oil. NO VEGETABLE oils. Your veg for day 6 and 7 can be cooked or raw. Also ROTI, no, once again unless you want to gain weight don’t eat wheat. White rice is fine as well instead of brown.
Hi, My weight is fine. I am 58kgs and my hieght is 5.3. I want to loose in inches, will this diet plan help. Please suggest.
Thanks in advance!!
It has helped many, sometimes it varies if the person has underlying health issues, etc. However a lifestyle change after the diet will really change your life.
Hi!!
Thanks for the reply. I have experienced the life after weight loss, n trust me its just wonderful. I was 75 kgs 2 years back. and now i am 58. I really feel proud. I wanna maintain this, will try out this diet. Thanks again!
Awesome news. Keep up that good lifestyle and stay healthy.
Plz confirm my diet plan as I plan to start.
1. Day one fruits (apple, grapes, oranges and watermelon).
2. Day two 2boiled potatoes in morning, cooked beans, cabbage and carrot for lunch and dinner adding salt and pepper.
3. Day three following diet of day 1&2.
4. Day four 8 bananas with 3glasses of milk.
5. Day five one cup of white curd rice and tomatoes salad with added onion, salt and pepper.
6. Day six curd white rice and cooked veggies.
7. Day seven fruit juice, curd white rice and veggies.
* all days 8 to 10 glasses of water, coconut water once in a day and daily three cups of green tea with out sugar.
1) Looks good 🙂
2) NO BEANS!!!!! That potato needs good fat. No carrot
3) You cannot have potato or beans day 3.
4) Only 4 bananas.
5) I assume you will spread it out over 3 meals
6) 3 meals here
7) NO CURD
I suggest you actually read our program, if you read a program it was not ours.
Thanks for your reply do clarify some things.
1. Day 2, morning boiled potatoes, after noon and night boiled cabbage or can I fry without coding oil.
2. Day 3, fruits and cabbage.
3. Day 5, morning and night tomatoes wit added onion and afternoon white rice with curd.
4. Day 6, morning and night boiled or fried cabbage without oil and curd rice in afternoon.
5. Day 7, may I eat rice with fried ladies finger and cabbage witout oil in afternoon and rest of the day with fruits.
Can I take green tea three cups daily and coconut water though it’s not suggested in gm plan, will it effect the plan anyway.
1) Looks OK, ghee or good fat needed with potato. boiled cabbage better.
2) Good
3) Make sure you have 3 meals
4) Day 5 and 6 rice meals need good fat to replace meat
5) No fried foods. Also what oils are you frying foods in normally?
Tea is fine no sweetener and some coconut water is good as well.
i happened to drink cold drink and a pack of eno on my second day of diet as i had developed severe acidity because of eating raw cabbage. can i still continue with the diet?? because of such experience i have brought only fruits and cucumber on the third day also. can i have sprouts instead of vegetables???? kindly advice as soon as possible.
I would just start over.
Cook the veg if raw is tough on your digestion.
Sprouts are not vegetables, or the kind you likely mean. They are beans with a tiny sprout. So no on sprouts. They can be a meat replacement day 5 and 6.
Hi,
I am on first day of diet plan. can I have one or two cup of milk everyday without sugar.
No, why would you ever put sugar in milk. If you want a sure fire way to gain weight, drink milk with sugar in it. Be careful 🙂
Hello sir,
I am sorry for repeated questions. I am poor with English. Please help me what is 3meals?
You suggested to add fat content, so do you suggeste me to add ghee in boiled potatoes.
Finally to replace meat, shall I eat rice with ghee.
Tomorrow is my 2nd day. Pleasrd help me.
No problem here 🙂
ghee is great.
3 meals = breakfast – lunch – dinner
rice and ghee yes, or legumes/beans and ghee is better. Good luck 🙂
Thkq sir. Waiting 4ur reply to start tomorrow.
I did reply 🙂 Look up
Thank u sir. 1 last Question. Can i add garam masala powder in boiled cabbage.
sure, pure herbs and spices are OK for sure.
1) gap of how many days or weeks should be kept in between 2 GM diets???
2) if i don’t want to have raw or cooked vegetables as it is on second day can i go with GM diet soup only on the second day???
3) though i have come to the 4th day of diet i am not feeling any lighter. is it because of the cold drink i had?? it was 100 ml or so
please help
1) 2 weeks minimum best at least.
2) sure, that can work
3) it can hurt, but it takes time to get that lighter feeling, if by cold drink you mean soda, yes drinking sugar cannot be worse. hang in there though.
i am caught in a big problem i am a working girl n i have not informed my colleagues regarding my diet plan. today was my fourth day of gm diet and i planned to have banana and milk but one of our senior head was getting retired today and i had to go to the party. instead of making excuses for stomach upset they forced me to have chicken soup with corn and peas some starters and water melon with dal and steamed rice. what should i do??? if i have to give up the diet when can i start again??? can i start immediately from the next week??? please help…
Start over to me…. Wait a day or 2 then go from there. Keep in mind there will always be outside food influences. It’s OK to say no, it’s your health not theirs.
Hello,
I am on 4th day of my diet plan… All this while I was feeling pretty light and fresh but today (evening onwards) feeling bit weak though I had three glass of skimmed milk and 5 bananas… I will have cabbage soup for dinner… Can you suggest anything to avoid the weakness as I have to attend office meetings as well tomorrow.
Further to this, I am planning to have brown rice tomorrow with beans… Can you pl le tm know in what form I will have to take the tomatoes and is there any restriction in quantity of tomatos! Also, what kind of legumes I can have and in what form… i.e. boild, cooked, roast ?
An early revert would be highly appreciable.
Regards.
Eat the tomato how you like. Make sure you have good fat with each meal. take some coconut water or green tea (no sweetener unless it’s stevia). That can help with energy.
Cook the legumes how you like 🙂
Can I have Tomato Soup on day 4? In general Is Tomato Soup is allowed on all days?
no you cannot, you can have the wonder soup any day and tomato soup, assuming it’s pure with no bad oils, etc on day 5.
Hi,
I am on the 2nd day of the diet and on both the days i am suffering form headache. is there any change required in the diet.. Please reply asap.
Thanks in advace!
Keep rolling, it should go away. It can be very common…
Is it ok to have buttermilk post lunch on all the days?? Also is it ok to have Coffee with less sugar and buscuits in evening??
no milk unless it’s day 4. Coffee OK I guess no sweetener. Biscuits are fine only if you want to gain weight. Biscuits are the worst thing for you.
On first day I had fruits but in lunch i had 1 roti and cabbage subji as i was too hungry :(. Today on the second day I had tomato soup in the brkfst and agn hd 1 roti and brinjal subji for Lunch. Evening I had copped cucumber and tomato and for dinner i hd veg soup and a cup of coffee(with less sugar).
I know roti is not good but i need smthng filling in lunch. Can you help me with a substitue..
Thanks in advance
NO, it’s only 7 days, sorry. Other foods can fill like the soup, some raw veg snacks, etc. If you are eating roti, you will not lose or keep weight off likely, I’m sorry. If you eat wheat, I truly cannot help. I just don’t see how it would be possible. Sorry 🙁

https://www.gmdietworks.com/general-motors-diet/gm-diet-day-6.html
Today is my third day…and tommorow will be 4th day
So I wanna to ask that should I take milk sugar free or not with banana…and one question is lthat may I drink hot water during this diet plan
Why would you ever put sugar in milk, unless you want to gain weight, yes cut the sugar. If you want to be unhealthy, and gain weight then by all means put sugar in milk. Drink your water as you like 🙂
Yesterday was 3rd dayof plan in the night I had lot of loose motions n vomiting shall I continue 4th day or not
OUCH, up to you. If you did don’t drink milk, take broth or whatever soothes you w hen you are ill. For me it’s broth.
I am 40 yrs with 5.00 feet in height and weight is 60.8. My ideal weight should be 52 kg. Journey of my weight loss started from 18 October 14. At that time i was 64.6 kg. I started my GM diet on 13/12/14 till this date i managed to loss my weight up to 60.8 kg by exercising both in morning and evening for 1 hr each. I used to eat only roasted vegetables in the evening and 13 glasses of water throughout the day.
Recipe of Roasted vegetables
Take some Cauliflower, spinach, tomato, beans, capsicum roasted on micro oven for 4 min. Stir it and again roast for 2 min. Later i added salt, mixed herb ( basil, oregano, etc) one spoon flavoured cheese ( i like chilli flakes cheese)in it. On alternate day i add some paneer( cottage cheese) in last two min of cooking.
You can add variety of vegetables of your choice.
I followed following schedule by taking care of my Job. I used to pack 2/3 food boxes for whole day.
1 DAY- My weight is 60.8
On first day in morning i did cardio exercise (Treadmill at speed 5 and incline 8) for 60 min. First day was a fruit day and it was advised that to consume more melon and citrus fruits. I took fruits after every 2 hrs.
Breakfast- watermelon
Mid morning- Watermelon
Before lunch- 1 orange
Lunch- Melon
Mid evening- one Guava and orange
At 7pm- 1 cup black tea
Dinner- 1 orange
I took 15 glasses of water throughout the day. Though i am used to have fast once in a week on fruits and 2 cup tea, it was very difficult to pass my day without tea. From evening i started headache. After having black tea my headache gone. Whole day i felt tired but do not felt hungry.
2 DAY weight-59.4kg
2nd day morning i feel very fresh. Yesterdays feeling of tiredness was vanished. 2nd day was my rest day for gym. I took food after every 2 hrs
Breakfast- 1 boiled potato, 1 cup black Tea.
Mid morning- 1 bowl roasted vegetables.
Lunch- 1 bowl salad of onion, tomato and cucumber.
Dinner- 1 bowl roasted vegetables.
I took 15 glasses of water throughout the day. 2 day i did not feel tired and hungry. Whole day i was enthusiastic and fresh.
3 DAY weight- 59.1 Kg.
3rd morning i done cardio exercises (Treadmill at speed 5 and incline 8) for 60 min. Morning was fresh though i could not get proper sleep in the night. I took food after every 2 hrs
Breakfast- 2 slice of papaya, 1 bowl roasted vegetables, 1 cup black Tea.
Mid morning- watermelon and papaya
Lunch- Roasted vegetables.
Evening- 1 guava
Dinner- Roasted vegetables.
In evening also i did cardio exercise (Treadmill at speed 5 and incline 8) for 50 min. I took 15 glasses of water throughout the day. 2 day i did not feel tired and hungry.
4th DAY weight-58.2 kg.
On 4th day morning I did standing jogging for 25 min. And 40 min Pilate yoga. I took food after every 2 hrs
Breakfast- 1glass milk and 2 bananas
Mid morning- 1 banana
Lunch- 1 glass milk and 1 banana.
Mid eve- 1 banana
Evening-1 banana
Dinner-1 glass milk
At the end of day 6 bananas and 4 glass of milk make you full of stomach.
In evening i did cardio exercise (Treadmill at speed 5 and incline 8) for 60 min. I took 16 glasses of water throughout the day.
5th Day weight-57.5 kg.
On 5th day morning i did stepper cycle exercise for 60 min. On 5th day i tried to consume 500 gm proteins. I took food after every 2 hrs. I prepared paneer( cottage cheese) bhurji with 2 tomatoes,capsicum,carrot,onion and cottage paneer and ate whole day. I took food at every 2 hrs.
Breakfast- Sprout,1 tomato, cottage cheese( half bowl), 1 cup black Tea.
Mid morning- Homemade Greek curd ( 1 katori)
Lunch- paneer bhurji ( half bowl)
Mid evening- paneer bhurji (1 Katori) 1 tomato
Evening- paneer bhurji( 1 katori)
Dinner- 2 tomatoes.
Paneer bhurji kept me full of stomach.
In evening i did cardio exercise (Treadmill at speed 5 and incline 8) for 60 min. . I took 16 glasses of water throughout the day.
6th DAY weight- 57.7 kg
On 6 th day i could not lose weight. I think i ate paneer bhurji in excess quantity. After having paneer bhurji you don’t feel hungry till maximum time. But my habit is to eat at every 2 hrs interval that might lead me to eat paneer bhurji more. So in my opinion on 6th day one should eat paneer bhurji according to their appetite as our stomach gets in the habit of taking less food.
Today morning i started my day as usual with half spoon of Triphala with 2 glass of warm water. I did cardio exercise (Treadmill at speed 5 and incline 8) for 60 min. Today i feel less energy while completing my exercise.

Midmorning at 12 pm- Sprout mixed with roasted vegetables. At the time of eating i squeeze 1 lemon.( 1 katori)
Lunch- Sprout mixed with roasted vegetables (half Katori)
Mid evening- Sprout mixed with roasted vegetables (half Katori)
Dinner- roasted vegetables
In evening i did cardio exercise (Treadmill at speed 5 and incline 8) for 55min. . I took 16 glasses of water throughout the day.
7Th day weight-57.1 kg
I could lose 3.6 kg up to 7th day. Tomorrow morning i may lose more weight. Today morning i started my day as usual with half spoon of Triphala with 2 glass of warm water. i did cardio exercise (Treadmill at speed 5 and incline 8) for 60 min. Today also i feel less energy while completing my exercise.
Breakfast:- Juice of 1 apple+ 1 slice of Papaya.
Lunch- Brown rice with vegetables.
Its afternoon and remaining day has to be passed. I thought if i continue my exercise regime during GM diet, i would be able to lose more weight. My Diet of 5th day spoiled my target.
So what will you eat once the plan is over? A normal diet for you?
I cannot eat rice. any substitute for that?
Quinoa, millet works or legumes.
I cant drink milk but i can have banana.. is it okay?
Sure, maybe do almond milk, do your best.
whether gm diet can be followed during menstrual cycle?
Sure, but hormones can throw off weight loss functions. So it’s up to you to start during or after.
Hi. I have started the diet today. I am allergic to milk. last time I had done the test I had replaced milk with curd. But I read on the site that it s not ok. What would be a better replacement for the same? Also I am a vegetarian. So no meat replacements either
https://www.gmdietworks.com/general-motors-diet/gm-diet-vegetarian.html
replacements for meat listed here.
Day 4, you can do curd or almond milk. Do your best 🙂
Hai,
Ur diet works on my upper belly fat. I mean, the results are visible. Can u please suggest diet or workout plans for reducing lower body fat.
Well a lifestyle change. You cannot expect a long term weight gain to self correct after 7 days. Biggest thing go gluten and sugar free. You can read more here, top 2 posts. http://gmdietforums.com/forums/gm-diet-after-day-7.6/

Hi
There are few recipes showing on your website.When we can have during following diet plan?
Also suggest for day 6 breakfast plan for vegetarians.
Regards
Shikha
Well the chick recipe is day 5 and 6. Breakfast do eggs with some cooked veg. You can use spices and herbs as you like.
Hi
I am on gm diet….
i do not eat rice…can i have plain oats or semolina as an
alternative to rice
well semolina is wheat and is junk.
oats, no.
Do legumes/beans…
Hi…what do u suggest in place of hamburger?
fish or chicken is great
can we have green tea?
sure no sweetener unless stevia.
can we have curd or yogurt in any of the days?
day 4 instead of milk yes. On a rice dish day 5 and 6, but you get much less rice.
1)can i have mixed vegetable rice without potato on day 5, 6 and 7 with 1 teaspoon of oil?
2) 1 cup of cooked rice or uncooked rice..?
3)can i have friuts on day 5,6 and 7?
1) yes
2) uncooked measured
3) day 7 as snacks only
anyone plz tell me which snack should i eat on day 7?
a little fruit, some roasted veg with seasoning. bake some cinnamon apples perhaps…
How much tomatoes are we allowed to consume i read on a diffrent website you have 9 throughout the day so i bought nine?
Sorry you may need to ask them why 9. I can only support this plan.
DO you have to have the soup thing is i dont have enough money to get all the ingridients to make that 🙁
no you do not…
can i take grams,kabuli chana boil for 2 and 3 day or any other day
no
I would like to start this diet. But I wonder is it sufficient to maintain a single cup of rice with 6 raw tomatoes for whole day.
If we take one cup of rice so let me know the combination with that. any vegetable curry or salad or with curd??
Please explain fifth day diet clearly. BTW am a vegetarian
1 cup is measured uncooked Have legumes, it’s a better option. You need good fat with each meal. Also have the wonder soup when you like. you get plenty of food.
One more Question..
After these 7 days diet.. How to maintain same weight that we reduced during this diet??
I usually eat normal white rice twice a day that is 2 cups of rice per day. Can we continue our old diet habits after this diet plan??
Hello.
Old habits likely mean you will gain more weight. Rice does not have to be the enemy within a balanced meal. Balanced meaning you need protein and good fat along with lots of good veg. 2 major keys would be wheat and sugar free.
hey guys i was reading out all the comments n the common thing was will we regain the weight we lost doing this diet ? the answer is a complete yes . doing this diet may reduce ur weight but to gain it is like swish so u guys need to strictly stick to a perfect diet and a compulsory workout 5 times a week burn of the calories u gain n ull be as awesome u will be
I agree on the perfect diet. Thanks for sharing that. Beware though of working out too much. The oxidative stress is too much for the body. Consider Burst type training and give your body a break. You will look just as fit and actually be 100 times more fit internally. Sure beware of too many calories, however it’s not about that. I never care about my calories. If I am eating pure foods and a pure diet it make no difference. I do watch my carbs. I keep it varies, between 100 and 175. This has resulted in me easily reaching my normal weight.
Hi. Today is my 7th day.and on day 5 and 6 I had one subway with multi grain bread and chicken ham and veggies each. Rest followed d schedule. And today on day seven had chapati in place of brown rice. Can u tell me whether what I did was right or wrong.
wheat will ruin you health and cause massive weight gain. So yes I would say you went off plan just about as bad as you possibly can. Not to mention how terrible Subway is with their fake chemically filled meats. Sorry, you cannot lose weight and get healthy like this.
hi
i eat pure jain food.i mean no potato no onion no garlic no beet.no mushrooms

Hi Author,
Appreciate the prompt help you are doing for people like us 🙂
I am a vegeterian and on day 4, not seeing too much weight loss though..
Pls let me know if below plan is ok for next two days and suggest the alterations needed. I can use moong dal, panner or soya chunks.:
Day 5:
One cup white rice cooked with spices and 2 tomatos along with spices and one tablespoon olive oil. I am going to devide this into two and take for dinner and lunch.
bf : two tomatos or tomato soup along with some boiled cabbage
mid morning and evening snacks : one big tomato each.
Day 5:
One cup white rice cooked with spices,vegetables(onion,cauliflower,cabbage,capsicum) and tomatos along with spices and one tablespoon olive oil. I am going to divide this into two and take for dinner and lunch.
bf : boiled cauliflower,capsicum and tomato in one spoon oil
or tomato soup along with some boiled cabbage
mid morning and evening snacks : some portion of cucumber
Happy to help 🙂
Day 5: no snacks unless it’s the soup. do 3 meals with rice and good fat and tomato. Cabbage is fine also.
Day 6: Same thing as day 5 but you get a snack and can diversify more on veg.

Day 5 sounds good, so day 6 the same, but change out tomato for other regular veg. A sack can be some sprouts, etc…
The one cup of brown rice that is mentioned, does it mean 1 cup of raw rice or cooked rice as after cooking the quantity of rice increases considerably ?
raw measured… You do not have to eat it all…
Can I have tomatoes with 1cup white rice together for lunch as well dinner??and for breakfast green lentil cooked with tomatoes and onion with spices

Hello,
I want to ask u that can i take limon jucie in bolied water without sugar and salt in GM dite.
yes
THANKS. my husband and me started this .Today is our 3day.hope it will work for both of us.
hi
can i have curd with brown rice on 5th 6th and 7th day of my gm diet.
abd also can i hav moong and chana sprout on 6th and 7th day.
day 5 and 6 only, you can have moong and chana but you have to lessen the amount of rice.
Ok. I’ve trying to follow this diet the best I can.
Day 1: I had 1 cucumber and a little papaya for breakfast, a pear and some grapes for mid-day meal, good amount of water-melon and a glass of lemon water(only lemon mixed in water) for lunch, some Pomegranate in the evening, and some more water-melon and orange for dinner. Had increasingly intolerable headache throughout the day due to lack of caffeine. Water consumed: 7/2 litres.
Day 2: I had a big boiled potato with 1/2 tsp ghee, a little bit of salt and pepper for breakfast, a bit of cabbage salad(cabbage+lemon) and coconut water for mid-day meal, boiled mixed vegetables(capsicum, cabbage, ladiesfinger, cauliflower and some spices) for lunch, Raw papaya(the hard one, not sweet) in the evening, and some of that Wonder Soup for dinner. Water consumed: 4 litres
Day 3: Papaya for breakfast, cabbage salad for mid-day meal, Water-melon and sweet-lemon for lunch, boiled mix vegetables in the evening, some pomegranate for dinner. Water consumed: 4 litres
Day 4: 2 small bananas and a glass of cool skimmed milk(sugarless) for breakfast, 1 chopped banana with lemon and salt and spice for mid-day meal, 1 small banana and 1 glass of skimmed almond milk(sugarless) for lunch, 2 small bananas in the evening, and 1 glass of skimmed almond milk(sugarless) for dinner. Water consumed: 7/2 litres.
AT THE END OF DAY 4, I had already LOST 3 KGS!!
Day 5: Some boiled rice with 3/4 tsp ghee and one chopped tomato with lemon and spices for breakfast, 1 cucumber and lemon water for mid-day meal, 1 cucumber and 2 tomatoes with lemon and spices for lunch, some more boiled rice(to take the total intake close to 1 cup for the day) and 2 boiled tomatoes in the evening, and I’ll eat one tomato after I post this question. The headache due to lack of caffeine seems to have vanished completely today. Total rice intake: 1 cup measured uncooked. Water consumed: 6 litres!!
Now I have a few doubts about day 6 and day 7. How does the following plan look?
Day 6: A little bit boiled rice with 3/4 tsp of ghee and mix-veg salad(cabbage, cauliflower, cucumber, lemon and spices) for breakfast, 1 glass of lemon-water for mid-day meal, a little more boiled rice with 3/4 tsp of ghee and sprout salad in the afternoon, and mix veg salad for dinner. Total rice intake: 1 cup measured uncooked.
Day 7: Some rice with 3/4 tsp of ghee and salad(chopped cucumber, tomato, onions, coriander, lemon and spices) for breakfast, orange juice(sugarless) and cucumber and tomatoes for mid-day meal, some more boiled rice with 1/2 tsp of ghee with some mixed-veg for lunch, tomato soup in the evening and some boiled rice with 1/2 tsp of ghee, and lots of water-melon for dinner. Total rice intake: 3/2 cups measured uncooked.
Please suggest if you think I need to make any changes to this.
Also, I am doing this week without any exercise. Will probably give me a rough idea about the difference when I’ll also be working out with the plan. Is it ok if I give a gap of 2 weeks before the next iteration, as I need to lose at least 25 more Kgs asap?
day 7, use less ghee. the rest looks really good actually. 2 week gap is great also. if you do workout the first 4 days just keep it light. You plan looks great, thanks for sharing it.
Thank you for your quick response 🙂
My sister and sister-in-law are also following the same diet-plan as me.
We have one other doubt.
They’re asking about the protein on Day 5 and 6. Rice and ghee substitutes beef, but does it provide enough protein?
As much as I love having rice, I could not defend having rice and getting enough protein. Can we decrease the quantity of rice to say 1/2 a cup on each of these days and include some more sprouts? If so, then what is the maximum amount of sprouts that we can have on these days? If not, please suggest some other alternative.
Thank you 🙂
Well nothing replaces meat, not even legumes. Legumes are carby, meat is not. legumes, the protein does not uptake as well as beef and is not the same as far as how the body can use. So for vegetarians you have to do your best. Eggs are great, 3 per meal max. You can have all sprouts, please read the vegetarian version at the bottom of the site, we say that there. The minimum amount of sprouts is the same as rice. We never said rice is a good sub. Nothing can replace good grass fed meat as far as nutrition and protein. However we must have a vegetarian option and soy is a terrible choice.
Hey thanks for your response.
This really helps.
Another small info on my progress:-
Day 6 early morning right now, weight check: LOST around 4.25 Kgs till now!!
This is EPIC!! 4.25 kgs in 5 days without any exercise!!
I wish I had tried it properly before!
I guess it’s better late than never.
This motivates me to start exercising regularly after this diet ends, so that I can maintain similar rate of weight loss in the next couple of iterations when I do them the same way with exercise.
Thanks to you guys, I can finally see light!! 🙂
Nice loss 🙂
So happy to hear it’s going well, let me know if you need any help.
hi…
good morning…
planning to start G.M. diet. having some queries. pls help me.
day 1. fruits diet… can i sprinkle chat masala on it?
day 2 fruits and vegetable… can i use bit olive oil and tomato onion and chili to prepare veggies?
in case of banana and milk… instead of milk if i have buttermilk with bit salt?
in case of rice and tomato diet….. can i make tomato curry with rice?
dried herbs and spices if they are pure are OK.
yes a bit.
yes on the buttermilk and salt
yes with some good fat days 5 and 6 to replace beef.
Dear Author,
Can i have rice and egg both on day 5, if yes, then what will be the quantity like.
Can u also please tell me if this plan is fine for day 5:
Morning: Rajma tomato fried
Noon: Tomato rice
Eve: Boiled egg
Night: Egg fried rice
Also, can i add onions to these dishes
Thanks
not together. eggs 3 per meal max. rice a bowl or so is fine with good fat.
No, you get 3 meals that day…. onions, peppers, spice, herbs can be added yes 🙂
Thanks for your reply.
Just one clarification. Does it mean that I can’t have egg and rice in the same meal but can be consumed in the same day. Like rice for lunch and egg for dinner?
Also, on which days I can have sprouts.
Thanks
best to do eggs only or rice only. sprouts days 5 and 6 as good fat replacing meat.
Great. thank you so much
I am on 3rd day of GM diet.

Hi
I am doing Gm diet for 2nd time but last time was not that great I might have lost 2-3 kg only . So can you suggest where I need to change it this time so that I can achieve more.
Day 1 : I had fruits (water melon, apple , papaya and pineapple )
Day 2: I had boiled potato (without ghee or any oil), lettuce and cucumber in lunch and evening tomato and in dinner I made soup with (broccoli, cabbage,tomato, onion and garlic )
Day 3: mix of day 1 and 2 without potato
Day 4: 5-6 banana and milk
Day 5: I had 6 tomato with kidney beans (rajma ) in dinner and lunch with little oil . In breakfast I had 3 egg white .
Day 6: no tomato had sprouts and tofu cooked in little oil .
Day 7: had brown rice veg pulao. and some fruits.
I had green tea without sugar at times and food was cooked in rice bran oil .
So please suggest if any thing needs to be changed or need to be added so get better results.
Day 4: 4 bananas.
Day 5: egg whites. You needed the whole egg.
Day 6: No tofu, it’s not a health food. Stick with whole eggs or legumes.
No rice bran oil. Bad move there. Ghee or coconut oil best
You results last time were still good 🙂
Hi,
This is my third day of GM Diet and I want to confirm the Diet plan for Day 5.
Brown rise 1 cup Raw . can you please confirm in grams so it will not vary.
Thanks in advance for your answer.
128 grams. legumes are better if you can. Each meal needs good fat 🙂
Hi Author,
Its my fourth day I lost around two kgs with exercise.
If I will take 128 gram Rajma in-place of Rice so will it work.and Six big tomato around 750 grams right
Or should go 75 grams Rice + 53 grams of Rajma/any other legumes.If any other legumes pls advise the same.
and I can eat wonder soup if I want on all 7 days right.Pls correct me if I am wrong.Till my fourth day I have not eaten wonder soup.
Can I take kakadi on 4,5,6,7th day?
is it mandatory to take some ghee on 5,6,7th day?
Please advise.
Legumes better than rice. However do either, just make sure each meal has good fat. wonder soup any day for sure yes. kakdi is OK. days 5 and 6 it is mandatory
Rajma will be 128 grams for 5,6,7 day?
please confirm.
Even on second day I forgot to eat Potato.
Is it ok?
Today is my 5th day and its going good.I lost around two kgs
Seems good. The potato and good fat were vitally important day 2. But you must move on so keep going.
Can we drink tomato soup instead of wonder soup?
NO, not at all the same.
How much rice per meal? Can i have eggs with my rice
3 eggs per meal max. if you do rice, it’s 1 cup uncooked all day. if you do 3 eggs. then lower that by 1/3. Try and do eggs only not with rice.
For day 6^^
Hi I started this diet 2 days back..
I had the following menu
Day1: breakfast – half apple and half pear, mid morning-1bowl water melon, lunch – 1bowl musk melon, snacks – few pieces of guava and orange, dinner – 1bowl water melon.
Day2: breakfast -1large potato with butter, mid morning -1glass buttermilk, lunch – 1bowl wonder soup, snacks -1bowl carrot cucumber salad, dinner – I couldn’t resist eating idlis, so had 3 idlis and little bowl of wonder soup
Day3 : breakfast – felt very hungry, so again I had two idlis with sambar, mid morning – 1bowl water melon, lunch – boiled broccoli, capsicum, and cauliflower, few cucumber, snacks – 1small bowl musk melon, dinner – boiled beetroot, cabbage and broccoli.
Since I have not followed properly please let me know if I can continue with this diet.. will i be able to loose weight still? Or should I stop it?
please respond asap so that I will be prepared for tomorrow..
actually I am a 30 year old female with 155cm height and 56kg weight.. I just want to loose only my tummy fat.. so let me know if this diet plan will help me or should I follow something else to reduce only tummy fat..
Why are you drinking buttermilk? idlis? sorry start over. You cannot lose weight like this, sorry. there are things you can do, however if you cannot even do this, you need to prepare more mentally. hang in there

Hey,
It is my 5th day. Feeling light and slightly reduced waists since my regular pants are loose fit now 🙂 . On day 4 I checked my weight and was 1.5 kgs reduced from start, but today when i weighed it showed 300gm more than yesterday. Have not done any cheating adn strictly following diet.
My clarifications:
1. While cooking vegetables I use 1/4 teaspoon canola oil, half sppon t salt and half t spoon pepper. Is it allowed?
2. I am not sure if I ate more panner on day 5. I would have taken some 20small cubes of panner of 1cmx1cm size. Will these be retarding my weight loss?? should I do any alteration.
What can i have instaed of brown rice can try white rice and reply on the remaining dishes for Day 6&7 i have to accelerate my weight loss. Pls advise.
Note: I have been drinking 3L of water minimum daily
1) bad move, canola oil is just bad for you, it’s a terrible oil. Salt, pepper, dried herbs and spices are all great.
2) Well what did you eat all of day 5? white rice is actually better.
All sounds OK, 3 liters of water can be a bit too much so lessen if you like.
Thanks for the spontaneous response.
I had panner 20 cubes, half cabbage, 3 tomatoes half onion and 50gm lettuce &corrainder leaves boiled in water with half spoon of salt, halfspoon pepper and spoon of boiled dhal.
The same with more liquid i had as soup in morning, after 1hrs a lime t with honey 1spoon.
Lunch the same mixture as semy gravy.
The remaining of same stuff (cooked in morning) i will have for dinner with 2 more tomatoes if reqd.
Why honey, why drink sugar water? I’m not sure I understand unless you just enjoy it. The rest seems OK 🙂
Its my second time on gm diet, i hate days 5, 6,7, i start gaining after 5th day, i lost 3 kgs in 4 days but after 5th day i gained 0.5 kg, same happen when i did diet for first time, is it cause of paneer???
Breakfast – boiled red kidney beans
Mid day snack- 1 guava
Lunch – paneer bhurji
Evening – curd
Dinner – salad, 1 slice musk melon and paneer bhurji.
I am worried for day 6, 7. Its a rice day and i will definitely gain weight again
And one more thing is it necessary to have orange juice on day 7? Can i have fruits instead of juice? Waiting for reply
is this what you ate day 5? if so you are not following the program correctly at all. rice is not your issue looking at this list. best to eat whole fruit then juice.
guava? is this all you eat and how you eat it? any good fat, This definitely is an issue.
I read on other website to have orange juice on 7th day, it’s bit confusing what to have, every one says different diet, i didn’t have juice this time, please suggest midday snacks for day 5,6,7. I was feeling hungry that s why ate guava as a snack.
Please read each day carefully, we say what to have. It’s not confusing if you follow 1 plan. You do not get fruit days 5 and 6.
5th day is ok, but i felt hungry on 6th day
you get 4 meals day 6

Hi Author,
IS GM Diet increase the uric acid.
Today I tested and its 9.5 so I am very afraid.Sunday was my last day of GM diet and I lost 3 kgs.pls reply its very important for me.
Well, many things can. Overeating sugar, junk carbs like wheat, too much protein, so be careful… Day 1 you may need mostly veg and just a little fruit if you proceed.
Hi Author,
Thanks for your reply.
I started my GM diet today is first day.hope things will go in good way.
Hi
I am on my 4 th day of GM diet, I mistakenly took 4 tomatoes today instead of Day 5. is that ok? Should I take tomatoes again on day 5.
Also, what are the vegetarian diet options for day 5, can we have paneer sabji and one chapati , please suggest some options?
Also in my first four days i have not seen any significant weight loss, i have been following the program religiously, can you pls tell me how much weight loss we can expect on which days of the diet?
I would highly appreciate your reply.
Regards:
Ankur
sure take on day 5 also, no worries on day 4. no wheat, not unless you want to hurt your health and gain weight. please look at the bottom of the site and read the vegetarian and Indian version. when do you weigh? what did you eat day 2? so far look at what you are asking it does not seem like you may be following it well.
Hi
Thanks for your answers.
On day one – I had mixed fruits, pineapple, pomegranate, papaya,melons, most fruits except bananas, mangoes, grapes and cheekus , I put some salt and spices on fruits
On day two – I have vegetable salad, both boiled and raw vegetables with some spices. I had vegetable soup for lunch and dinner
On day three- I ate mixed fruits with raw vegetables along with two times vegetable soups
On day four- I had one glass of amul slim trim milk with one banana and through out the day i had 2 bananas and at night one glass of amul slim trim milk with one banana. During the day I had 5 tomatoes.
On day five – I had one bowl of grated panner with roasted vegetables (without oil). Kindly note that it was not one bowl of paneer entirely, paneer must not have been more than 70-80 grams. I also had 3 tomatoes
I had one black coffee as well on day five and I am expected to have veg soup for dinner along with boiled vegetables.
I checked my weight at the end of day 3, I did not found any change in the same.
Apart from above I walk on treadmill daily for 35 min and burn average of 250 calories per day.
I have not breached prescribed thus far. Kindly guide me if i have gone wrong anywhere or what should I do to better this program.
What shall be my diet for day 6 and day 7?
Again I appreciate your great service in keeping people healthy.
Regards:
Ankur
1) fine
2) no potato for breakfast with good fat, huge mistake. this will affect your loss.
3) seems good
4) good
5) day 5 if you replace meat, meat has fat so your replacement meals should. you are not losing well because of day 2 though. I suggest legumes/chickpea based meal with veg and good fat day 6.
day 7 it is as we wrote it for everyone.
Keep going 🙂
Thanks Mam
I am on my day 6 today , I saw I only lost 2 kgs. Is there any room for losing more weight rest of day today and tomorrow?
Also I am regularly doing 40 min of treadmill walking everyday is that hurting?
For Day 5 I had 1 bowl of grated panner 100 gms and vegetables raw along with 3 tomatoes, Is this fine?
For Day 6 I had a bowl of panner with vegetables (Without oil) -150 grams and chick peas with onions along with 100 grm of low fat yoghurt. Is this fine?
What should I eat on day 7 ?
Your response would be highly appreciated.
Regards:
Ankur
There can be weight loss every day. you should not do that much treadmill the first 3 or 4 days with no protein to rebuild muscles. If you workout every day when does your body have time to recover and heal? day 5? I assume you had 3 meals and good fat? if so it is fine. day 6, same as day 5 what I said. day 7, read it on the site, it should be exactly like that. Good luck 🙂
Thanks a lot for your reply and help 🙂
hi i will be on my day4 tomorrow. I have lost 6 pounds so far. Feeling happy.
I am wondering that how many times a day i can have wonder soup. and what amount it has to be.
as often as you like
mice loss 🙂
Hi,
Its my 3rd day of GM diet.. Going good so far.. 🙂
Pls tell me 1) on which days can I have curd?
2) substitute of brown rice?
3) can I have sprouts on day 5,6 &7?which? Red kidney beans is ok?
1) days 5 and 6 – look at the Indian version bottom of site.
2) white rice or legumes
3) days 5 and 6, read beans yes with good fat to replace meat like ghee.
Can i have cooked lady finger on 2nd or 3th day?
yes
I checked my weight on day 3, it reduced 1.5 kg…. Bt wen I checked again today thats Day 5, it increased 500g.. means only 1 kg reduced in 5 days 🙁
on 4th day in had just 3-4 bananas, 3 glass milk & wonder soup in lunch & dinner…
Day 5 I had sprouts salad & 5 Tomatoes 3 sauted & 2 in salad & buttermilk …
Can u pls tell me how shd i go ahead for day 6 & 7 so that i can reduce atleast 3 kgs more.. Pls rep soon…
why buttermilk day 5? did you have 3 meal,s each with good fat? what did you eat day 3?
keep going when do you weigh?
As per India diet plan, I can have curd (low fat) on day 5 & 6, so i just blended it with water today..
Day 3 I had Melons, Apple & watermelon in fruits and salad of Lettuce, tomatoes, onion, capsicum & Cucumber..
Yes day 5 I had 3 meals having some fat contained.. I added little butter in sprouts & sauted tomatoes in olive oil… And did weigh in evening..
How shd I go ahead for Day 6 & 7?
correct on days 5 and 6 with curd.
Keep going as planned. However you cannot weigh in the evening. That’s the issue. Your true weight is in the morning, before you eat or drink after going potty.
Same prob with me, according to the diet every day loss, but i starts gaining on some days, i follow this strictly, still i gain on day 2,5,6. Don’t know why
when do you weigh? what did you eat day 2 and 5?
In the morning after fresh n up
On day 1 i lost arnd 2kg, on day 2 i gain half kg and on some days no change in weight, 1st day great loss rest of the days are up n down
Day 2
Breakfast – boiled potato
Midday snacks- salad ( cucumber)
Lunch – bottle gourd /round gourd
Evening – salad
Dinner- bottle gourd / boiled mix veg/ boiled cauliflower
Day 5
Breakfast – boiled red kidney beans ( this week i am going to try chikpeas)
Lunch- curd and paneer bhurji
Evening- salad
Dinner – paneer
6 tomatoes included in paneer bhurji or soup in evening then no salad
Day6-
Breakfast – paneer / spinach paneer
Lunch – boiled white rice with bottle gourd / palak paneer /curd
Evening – curd
Dinner – boiled rice with red kidney beans
1)Is this ok or do i need to change??? If yes then why i am gaining on these days??
2) if i dont take curd in meal, can i have curd as a snack instead, when i feel hungry??
1) make sure the potato has good fat day 2, it’s vital! also good fat on each meal days 5 and 6. Try not to each too much gourd please.
2) do not do curd as a snack it’s off balance.
Can i take curd with meal, with paneer on 5th day and with rice and red kidney beans on day 6?? And how much quantity??
yes, read the Indian version at the bottom of the site.
Thnk u..
Hi
Sorry to trouble you, need help, day 2 is kind of difficult for me, i couldn’t able to have cooked vegetables without chapattis or rice, i managed 2 times, now irs my 3rd time of gm diet, i can have potato in breakfast and salads for rest of the day but not cooked veggies, can i have fruits also on day 2? Please suggest i cannot able to eat anything and having headache.
no trouble, potato with god fat yes, salads also fine no fruit….
But salads for whole day will be quite boring, can i have anything else other than vegetables and soups? Any side effects if i take fruits on 2nd day?
no fruit, yes there will be side effects. keep in mind there is a point to it as it is. spice up your food, the potato and good fat is a great start to the day, you will survive.
Ok, thnk u so much… 🙂
Can i add tomatoes in veggies on day 2?
a couple sure
Hi Author,
I completed second iteration of GM diet and lost around 1.5 KGs only.
After two days gap I will start the GM Diet third iteration. Can I take Aamla juice to reduce the Uric acid?
no juice, sorry….
If I have legumes/chickpea, it should be boiled or little fried will also work?
on days 5 and 6 sure either
Also want to ask.. How to start a day, can I take tea or milk? and I usually used to have honey with warm water and soaked almonds, can I continue this. Really confused.
on this plan? either way on or off the pan not a idea…
yes with this plan. Can I take tea in the morning?
sure, no sweetener unless it’s stevia
Thank you
I have followed this diet previously 2 times and lost 15 lbs..
Could live off of salad during very cold winter so did not do it for 5 months.
I did not gain weight as long as I eat all not Healthy ( fried) food in limited quantities.
Like I eat big bowl of salad or soup and after that I eat “non-healthy” food that controls intake of them or make pudla instead of Pakora (indian ).
I try to have half of my intake for a day as Fruits/Veg tables even after finishing diet.
Now I started again I am on my day 3 and lost 3lbs already.
My final goal is to loose 25 lbs all togather.. and I am almost there…
This works if you follow it strictly and do take care of your food even after finishing it.
If you start eating all fried or non healthy food by being slave of your cravings. you will gain back your weight. ( I have that experience too.)
I am going on Cruise in 3 months and I hope to wear all my lovey outfits that I can’t fit into right now..
If you are reading this and don’t think just start it. You will have cravings for salty food for 1st day. But after that it will be awesome. You will see glow on your face because of all the healthy food you are eating.. Ok. Going for Grocery shopping as eat all my veggies yesterday and don’t have anything to make my salad for lunch today.. 🙁
Chou…..
Nice post – thanks for sharing…
Hi author,
Thanks for your help I will complete my third iteration tomorrow and I lost three KGs in this iteration.
I just wanted to know can I have sweet potato on first day of GM diet in next iteration.
Thanks in advance.
no, it’s a tuber and starchy and does not fit day 1
Nice loss 🙂
Thanks for your reply in my third iteration I took egg on 5 and 6 day.and on seventh day Rajma with bron rice and some almonds.
I lost 4 kgs.
Thanks for all your advice.
Awesome 🙂
no almonds next time ….
Hi Author,
Thanks GM diet really works.
I lost around 8 kgs in 3 iterations.
So Almonds Should not take any day during diet.
Very very thanks for your advice.
no almonds… 🙂
Nice loss….
This is my 4th time, no change in belly fat 🙁
do you measure? have you ever checked for cortisol or thyroid issues? Possibly estrogen off balance? some tests may really help
Yes i have checked, no thyroid
I have hormonal problem, doctors said to loose weight
Well, you have to do very specialized hormone tests for what I am saying, however hopefully it is just lose some weight 🙂
Can i eat colocasia( arbi) on day 2,3?
Only breakfast day 2, it is like a potato, pure carbs/starch.
Hello I’m a vegetarian and you suggested that for day 5 and day 6 we should have brown rice or sprouts or paneer . Which is the better option? Because rice contains only starch while sprouts contain proteins… And what about quantity in rice? Cooked/Uncooked ?
legumes./sprouts I would do or eggs if you eat those. uncooked 1 cup but do sprouts and add some good fat to each dish. season as you like 🙂
Can i have poha instead of rice? If yes,please tell quantity
sure…
Quantity??
same as what’s listed on the vegetarian plan above,,,,
Hello author
I am on day 3 of the diet. few questions-
1. feeling quite weak – is that expected? what can i eat to avoid weakness?
2. stomach upset since the time i started the diet – have been eating fruits and vegetables since 2 days. not sure of the reason for it.
Pls advise
1) yes can be common, the first 3 days of this plan are more detox. so do not over workout, drink coconut mater if you can or some tea with stevia or plain.
2) The potato should have helped some with good fat. You may not digest raw foods well so cook your food. Most people are not use to this much veg and fruit, they are more used to wheat and processed foods.
Dear Author, If possible please give sample diet chart for all days for indian / vegeterian version.. when we read all these it is bit confusion… please help… and also halp the mendatory things to be taken care while GM Diet.
Well other than days 5 and 6 it’s the same. for those days for Indian and Veg, look at the bottom of the site for the links.
After following this diet twice, I managed to lose 8 kgs in total. I had posted my diet before and you had kind of approved it.
But after that, I couldn’t do it for around 45 days due to work pressure.
I’m doing it again now, Have lost 3 kgs in 3 days. Nice, right?
I am facing an unexpected problem now:-
The last two times when I did it, I used bananas and ‘skimmed’ milk for day 4.
I’ve been looking for it since 2 days, but I just can’t find ‘skimmed’ milk in our little town(I know it’s a shame!!)
It’s been 6 hours since I woke up. I had half a liter of water, went to the gym, drank 1/2 liter water again, had a banana after another 3/2 hours, went to the shop and had another banana after an hour.
What should I do about the milk?
I think I can survive without milk for the day, but I doubt if that would be the right thing to do, would it? If not, please help!!
Ok I understand that the comment I am replying to took a long time reaching you. It’s already 2:10 pm here, so probably your solution won’t be implementable this time.
Even then, please tell me the solution so that I can use it in future if need be.
I am on a different time zone. you have all 7 days in front of you, prepare questions early. I always reply within 18 hours or less. Make sense?
Hi Anuj,
How much gap was in two iterations and did you had salt in this iterations.
Thanks for your answer in advance.
Hello 🙂
1 to 2 weeks, after you have done it 2 times, 2 weeks to a month
Ok. I have a good update.
I managed to find milk powder for the same product I used to have before.
Although half the day’s already over, I’m now prepared for the next five iterations of the diet plan.
One small question about day 5. Can I have more than six tomatoes on day 5?
a couple of more tomatoes are fine.
you can use regular milk or a lower fat milk no issues
nice weight loss for sure.
Thanks for your response.
Another issue that I just faced:-
Upset Stomach. I increased my water consumption rate after this and I just had some lemon water with salt, but it did not help.
I might have to take some electrolytes to fix this. Unfortunately, the electrolytes available here can be a bit sweet. I’ve had two glasses of low fat milk and 4 small bananas till now.
If I end up fixing my stomach problem tonight using electrolytes (a bit sweet), do you think I should continue with days 5, 6 and 7?
Keep rolling and try not to drink too much water. Drink 1.5 liters, whatever. More is not better necessarily. The key is not UNDERdrinking. Hence coconut water is OK, lemon in the water, etc.
Hi.. I am doing it for the second time. and I have successfully completed the two days. On third day I was unable to do it properly and had tea and banana chips which are not allowed. Can I do Day 4 or I have to start again from day one.
just keep going…. tea is fine stevia only though fyi
Hi.. Thanks.. I am just concern that having banana and milk on day forth wont lead to weight gain? As I have not done it properly on day three.
??
It does not hurt anyone else… It’s all a part of the plan…. day 3 yes was a mistake that can mess up several days, you just have to finish and see how it goes.
I want to ask whether dis diet is to be continued after 7 days ?
you need a week or 2 wait in between plans, try and stay gluten and sugar free during that time.
Hi Author,
Good Morning
During this Diet only fat loss is there or also muscles loss is also their?
Some people told me there is muscles loss also here.
Is it true?
Any detox diet or 90 plus percent of diets there can be muscle loss but not like you think, the detox process here is 3 days only (most detox diets are much much longer, this diet is not for that reason to be safer). So it’s actually really nice to get the best of the detox portion yet it not be long enough to really cause any muscle loss. They are causing panic for ZERO reason with little backing or understanding of things here. So yes you will lose some water weight, possibly a little muscle (maybe not really) and then mostly fat.
Thanks Author,
Because of that we always take gap of one or two week in between of every iterations.Right?
yes after run 1. if you do it again between time 2 and 3 would be 3 to 4 weeks best.

Also, I dont want to have brown rice on Day 5. Can u suggest any other veg alternative.
Can we eat cottage cheese and steamed sprouts also on day 5?
we don’t actually suggest brown rice mainly here. https://www.gmdietworks.com/general-motors-diet/gm-diet-vegetarian.html
sprouts and cottage cheese works
Hi
Thanks for the response.
What should be the quantity of legumes, tomatoes and ghee if we want to consume throughout day.
you get 3 meals, ghee a teaspoon or so per meal, legumes a normal bowl with seasoning and plenty of veg….
Hi,
First of all I would like to thank you from heart for disclosing such a great diet plan to crores of people.
Yes, It works. I cannot express the level of joy that m feeling at this moment.
Today is my last day of Diet plan.
Now I need some input from you to overcome some of the doubts that I am having regarding post diet life.
1. I want to repeat this diet but it seems that I feel a little fatigue if I dont take salt and sugar atleast in smaller amounts. It seems this is my requirement.
2. I am feeling slight weakness so should I continue this diet plan in future.
3. With this diet I do not have extra energy to complete my household work. Can you suggest good options to maintain energy levels.
4. What should be my diet after 7 days so that I do not gain back. (Please provide answers in detail)
1) well sugar is pure junk and ruins your health, You may get a false high (dopemine levels increase) from it, but it’s pure junk. You need salt, why not have salt?
2) sick how? You need at least a 2 week break any way.
3) You should have energy. Your energy may drop the first day or 2. perhaps too much water and no salt was stripping your body of vital minerals.
4) read the top 2 posts, let me know if you have questions. http://gmdietforums.com/forums/gm-diet-after-day-7.6/
Hi,
with the work vegetables you been boiled or somthing else.
Please let me know since i have to start this from next coming Monday.
question is a little confusing. you can cook the veg as you like.
Can we continue with white rice and cooked legumes and ghee everyday in meals after the diet plan is over
is it balanced, meaning lots of good veg, you do not eat too much per meal? how much are you eating a day of it or how many times? where does your protein come from. beans are not a great source.
Ok. protien can come from milk and milk products sprouts, cottage cheese – please advise.
If Rice is not a good option can I have chapatis(wheat roti) on a daily basis twice a day 2 chapatis in each meal with vegetables.
And how about low fat curd and buttermilk?
not milk, no buttermilk, cheese products yes days 5 and 6. Wheat is not a real viable option, only to assist in gaining weight so no there. 1/4 cup of curd or so per meal.
how do i go about the day 5 with chicken ?
4 to 5 ounces per meal or so 🙂
hey i m on day 5 and i have not lost any weight. on day 4 morning i was weighing 73 kgs and again in the evening i m 75.. m feeling very depressed. i have followed d diet strictly as mentioned. should i stop d diet. or should complete till day 7. help.:(
When did you weigh your first time to check your starting weight? What did you eat days 2 and 3? You cannot weigh at night, that is not your true weight at all, you are weighing food, water and body waste. You will drive yourself nuts like that.
Hi Authr
Day3 night i had rise

I’ve seen this asked but no responses published: is there a few substitutions you can suggest for the tomato? You suggest eating a few of these on day 5 but I just can’t stomach them. Please help!! Thank you 🙂
I always respond, are you sure about that? Look on day 5. I answer this question at least 3 times a week. Just pick another veg, no corn or peas though 🙂

Rice to be taken in steamed form or i can take with something like DAL or Currry

Hi
The diet is going good this far.
Just wanted to know on day 5 how much portion of soya chunks with tomatoes is good enuf for lunch and dinner. Can we also have cottage cheese along with Soya or it has to be just either of the two. On Day 6 what is Asian style vegetables? Can u please help.Thank you…
hello, we don’t recommend soya, such a dead and over processed food. cottage cheese assuming it has some good fat about a 1/4 cup per meal. You can spice and enjoy your food as you normally like. So Asian style great

Hi,
I am on my Day 3 of my diet (vegetarian version). Few clarifications that i need :
1. Am i supposed to eat sprouts on any day ?
2. Can you please elaborate the diet plan for Day 5 ? What should i eat on breakfast, lunch and dinner and midday-snacks. Please help me out with a split-up as in here : https://www.gmdietworks.com/general-motors-diet/gm-diet-day-5.html
1) they are a legume so days 5 and 6 yes with good fat if you like instead of rice or mix.
2)Snacks only soup. you eat veg and beans or rice. simple as that. 3 meals. each meal needs good fat. you can however do 3 eggs max per meal as well.
