GM Diet Wonder Soup
Soup and GM Diet go hand in hand. GM Diet famous for it’s quick weight loss plan of about 10 pounds in a week owes much of its effects to the wonder soup that is a big part of the diet plan. The wonder soup can be eaten in unlimited quantities and on any day of the General Motors Diet.
GM Diet Wonder Soup
The recipe is pretty straight forward and very easy to make.
Wonder Soup Ingredients:
- Onions – 6 large onions
- Green Peppers – 2
- Tomatoes – 3
- Cabbage – 1
- Celery – 1 bunch
- Water – 22 oz of water
Directions:
- Start off with the onions and green pepper. Cut up the onions and green pepper and lightly saute it with a few drops of olive oil till they turn a light brown.
- Next up is the celery, tomatoes and cabbage. Chop them up and add everything to a large pot with water.
- Bring it to a boil and slow cook it till everything is tender. You probably need to cook this for close to 60 min. Add salt, dried herbs or spices and pepper for seasoning.
That’s pretty much there is to it. The wonder soup can be eaten in unlimited quantities and is a real delight to eat. Anytime you find yourself hungry on any day of the GM Diet, the wonder soup is the way to go. Make sufficient quantities each day so that when hunger pangs hit you, you have something you can quickly warm up and eat.
The GM Diet wonder soup is really tasty as well, you will find yourself eating this even when you are not on a diet.

Miss Lakshmi , do u mind sharing ur mail id with me? Since, even i m willing to follow GM diet n have few doubts…..just wanted to discuss the same with u asur a lady n most importantly an Indian lady……just wanted to discuss abt some indian ingredients to be used in GM diet/GM wonder soup
Please reply

im confused as to whether the soup can be consumed starting day 1 or not?
You an use as much of the soup as you want on all days except 1 and 4. Day one is your kick off day so it needs to be just fruit.
do we need to consume those vegetable dishes without salt / seasoning?
Can we subsitute the green pepper with something else as I really dislike green peppers.
can i use enything else insted of greenpeppar
On this soup I used two onions, one cabbage head, three large carrots, six celery stalks. two onions soup mixes, and four cups v-8 juice. I put in about four cups of water. I simmered this until the veggies were soft. Very good soup. This batch made 12 cups of soup.
Can I substitute celery with another vegetable?
Try carrots instead.
i hate onions, celery, cabbage, and peppers…. can i substitute all of that or is it pretty pointless…
is it necessary to take this soup..?
I don’t really feel that hungry.
I am on end of day four and till now I went for tweaked soup recipe that uses Spinach instead of cabbage.. is it fine?? can I continue with spinach??
Can you have vinger?
GM diet really works, I loved the recipe. Can I make some other veg soup?
Hw much gap must be made if I wants to restart the gm diet after finishing 7 days diet
Smwhr it is mentioned after 3 days n smwhr has written atleast after 2 weeks
Kindly help its bit confusing
I had chapaties, fruit(apple and orange) and tomatoes & cucmber on day 5th as brown rice was not available. Is this fine?
But till forth day I have done good diet and it reflected on health as well.
Dear Friends,
I am an employee of Microland, trust me GM diet works 100% this my 5th day and i shred 5kilos surprising me when i check my weight in the morning, i really felt the justification for the effort what i had put, now am feeling light and relaxed…………… all thanks to GM – it was published on Yahoo……….thats how i followed……..

Today is my 3rd day of this diet.Yesterday I saw, that I have lost about 500 gramms in 2 days. The most difficult thing for me is to drink a lot of water. What can I do?
How hard can it be to drink water?! Gulp it down you!
which days you ued wonder soup
4th day have already lost 4 kilos…loosing weight was never this easy…wat a great diet…..with this also made sure that i exercised atleast for an hour everday…3 more days to go im sure to loose some more weight…
can celery replaced any vegetable?
Any vegetable is ok, try to avoid beans/legumes tho as they are high in calories.
no one has answered about eating the soup on which day . It says unlimited amounts but doesn’t say if you can eat it everyday of the diet . PLEASE HELP !! trying to start the diet Monday !!!!!
It says in the opening paragraph: The wonder soup can be eaten in unlimited quantities and on any day of the General Motors Diet. 🙂
problem is of drinking water and is all the vegetables to be cooked without salt. please clear it.
The soup seems to need more water in it… Can I add water?
Of course! There’s no exact amount of anything necessary as long as you stick to the right food groups.
I’m still not clear on how to make the soup. There’s no spice at all? HELP
I had my doubts on the soup, but I have lost 27 lbs.since Jan1,and I have been watching my carb intake and feeling great…. I have made 4 batches of soup and love putting spices in it. …..well worth eating…. 8 more lbs.before i eat my first piece of pizza
I’m really enjoying the theme/design of your site. Do you ever run into any internet browser compatibility problems? A small number of my blog audience have complained about my blog not working correctly in Explorer but looks great in Chrome. Do you have any advice to help fix this problem?
on fourth day can we replace banana with some other fruit as I have fast on thursday.?
I’m not sure how to make the soup. Everyone and anywhere I got says something different! What is the correct recipe!
It’s awesome in support of me to have a web page, which is valuable in support of my know-how. thanks admin
Hello, Neat post. There is a problem along with your web site in internet explorer, may test this?
IE nonetheless is the marketplace leader and a big component to other folks will miss your excellent writing because of
this problem.
With havin so much written content do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright
infringement? My site has a lot of completely unique content I’ve either authored myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my agreement. Do you know any methods to help reduce content from being ripped off? I’d certainly appreciate it.
How much weight can I loose in one week while following this gm diet plan?
apart from drinking 8 glasses of water, can we take other beverages without sugar. like tea or coffee or green tea, chinese tea….etc etc…
Is it okay for me to Blend the soup once I’ve cooked it. I’m not too good with lumpy soup. Please answer quickly as I’m making it now. Thanks
yes, you can blend it.
That was a fast answer. 🙂
Lmao I thought the same thing
I am starting the GM Diet today. I made my HUGE batch of soup yesterday. I didn’t think my pot would hold all of the vegetables! A coworker of mine and his wife have done the diet 2 weeks in a row. The first week he lost 12 lbs and she lost 9 lbs. They are in their second week now, so I am not sure of the progress this time. He gave me some tips on the soup recipe which made it delicious!
1 14 oz can of unsalted tomato juice
1 head of cabbage
14 oz. water
6 celery stalks
2 whole onions
2 packets on onion soup powder mix
2 green peppers
Salt and pepper to taste and simmer at least 1 hour to get vegetables tender.
I put all of this in my food processor (slicer) and dumped it in a pot, put the soup mix over the vegetables and poured the juice and water over it. Great flavor and easy to make!
i started the gm diet seven days ago and it was a blast
Hi! Ive tried this and lost 8 lbs on my first round. Im now on my 2nd round, fourth day! Hope il lose more. This diet really rocks!
There is no mention of salt intake in all these plan.
Can we eat cooked vegetables with some salt added to it??
Thanks in advance
salt and seasonings are fine… Keep in mind on the scale you may retain some water weight if you eat too much salt.
1st 7days I lost 4kG bt when I do it again I don’t lose anymore, wat might be problem?
im happy to have found the GM diet plan. im looking forward to loose some weight . i will start the diet from tomorrow. i hope it gives me real results and also give my smile back with confidence. thank you.
Can I take multivitamins during the 7 days diet?
Don’t see why not Ahmad 🙂
Actully the recipe of the magic soup given is fine but i have a dout the quantity of the ingredents are more so can i reduce the quantity of the ingredients to prepare soup according to my capacity of intake for a day…please help
Miss Meenakshi…I do have same doubt…Can u plz share me ur mail id?
Yes you can play with the recipe as you want, change it up if needed 🙂
Can boiled corn be eaten on day 2? And salad dressings with mayo allowed too?
Sorry no corn and never on mayo. I mean run from it. Unless it is homemade 🙂 – but still not on the diet.
Its really working…give relax to heavy weight
For effective result need to repeat as per direction
hello there and thank you for your info – I’ve definitely picked up anything new from right here.
I did however expertise a few technical points using this website, since
I experienced to reload the website lots of times previous
to I could get it to load properly. I had been wondering if your web host is OK?
Not that I am complaining, but sluggish loading instances times will often affect your placement in google and could damage your high-quality score
if advertising and marketing with Adwords. Anyway I am adding this RSS to my e-mail and can look out
for much more of your respective fascinating content.
Make sure you update this again soon.
Can anyone please tell me if I can use low calorie oil spray to sauté veggies?? And I hate tomatoes, specially when raw.. Can I make some kind of basic tomato soup for the fifth day?? And if celery can be substituted with carrot in the wonder soup, as celery is not available where I live?? Please help I am starting on the diet tomorrow…
Yes cook the tomatoes, assuming you are using only things on the approved list to make a soup, yes that is fine. Carrots are OK, never ever use cooking spray, so bad for you, try organic coconut oil, use some to saute if you need.
Hello , i want to know that can i take chiken on day 5 and eggs and veggies on day 6pls help me pls reply must thank u….
yes chicken or eggs is great with veg days 5 and 6!
I have added too,much of olive oil to saute my onions, is that okay or,I need to redo everything,..
Up to you, I would just go forward, you can only use a teaspoon or so, please keep that in mind…
I’m on my second day now . This is the first time im trying gm diet. . But I feel lik fainting n very tired. . I cant do light exercise also.. but it is mentioned to do exercise for one hour. . Wat to do?? Most of the times I feel sleepy si slept off in t afternoon. . Can I sleep during mid day? And is it compulsory to do exercises? ?
When you cut caffeine, sugar, wheats and such, you will feel detoxy so to speak for a few days.Hang in there. Rest if you need to. Exercise, look into burst or HIT training, fast, better for the body, takes less time and much more effective.
Is exercise compulsory during this diet? I mean im goin to gym.. but I feel very tired .. I can’t walk properly too.
Just be careful, especially the first 2 days, so listen to your body. Try HIT training, be careful with exercising too much.
Can I know what is HIT training?
Burst training, high intensity for shorter bursts, instead of having to workout hours a day, Google it…
After finishing this cycle wen can I start the next round? ? I mean how much gap should be taken for the next round..
And after completing this round how to follow my diet in order to not regain my weight again? ?
my recommendation is a month at least. Stop eating the way you w ere before. Eat 3 meals a day, stop snacking, cut sweets, join the forum and I can help further if you like…

Hello
Your soup recipe is OK and a chicken cube is OK. I will be changing that recipe soon, I cannot stand processed foods and the Knorrs package must come out. Natural always better. But yes a cube is fine. Corn just a little is OK. Don;t over drink water either 8 glasses may be enough. Only eat eggs when you see meat called for in the plan, you cannot add eggs when you like. Hope that helps 🙂
Hi Author ,
Many thanks for yr reply but I saw yr answer once my 5th day is over. Throughly I m feeling healthy and lighter but I felt Kidney ligther pains on both sides I think its bcz of Lots of urine ( I m already passing lots of urine since my childhood) as I m drinking 8-10 glass water so Might be its becz of water but Ever one can see difference in me.

On the water, don’t over drink it, drink as thirsty, maybe for you 6 glasses is OK. Too much water can actually be hard on your kidneys. On the changes. When a meal calls for meat, you can sub in another protein like eggs, chicken or fish. But no you cannot just have an egg when you like.
Hi,
I got up to read yr reply I didnt take Egg any day. Anyway thanks for your reply. I have to take water when I m thirsty. If 6 glass are OK then I will take 6 glasses. Protein meat means total 300 grams and we cant add even fruit omggggggggggggg :(:(
Hi All,
I m v v v happy Today was my 6th day and I lost 5.5 kg I still hv one day to check it might be I will loos one more KG or half KG

Total I lost in 60 days is 11 kg 5.5 kg in JYM within 30 day and rest with one week s GM Diet.
Good luck to all.
Irha
congrats!

Hi i really hate the taste of tomato especially raw. Is there a way to make the tomatoes more enjoyable for me on day 5? Also, can I eat sautéed tofu instead of beef?
Do stewed or roasted tomato with spices. yes on tofu although to me there is nothing healthy about it at all, so processed and not a complete protein. Proceed at your own risk.
Hi,,want to start frm tom,m Indian 156cm ht n 69 kg,,want to reduce,, wil kp u posted,thnks
Good luck 🙂
Hi
Only one query.. I am a vegetarian… What can I have instead of beef…
Please can some one help me with its substitute…
Today it’s day one… So I hope yo get solution before day 5.
Checkout the Indian or Vegetarian version in the footer below this. Legumes, keep in mind when replacing meat each time you must have fat with it. Meaning meat has fat, your replacement should have some, so if you did legumes and a teaspoon or 2 of olive oil.
Hi,
As in for the days when vegetables can be eaten, is there a substitute for tomatoes?
Also, for day 5, 6 & 7, can chicken or fish be substituted instead of fish? If so, what portions of it can be eaten a day?
I’d really appreciate your help.
Thanks.
pick another veg, just not avocado, corn or peas. chicken or fish is fine. do 3.5 to 4.5 oz per serving
So isn’t the 6-8 tomatoes on Day 5 mandatory then? Can I just substitute it with any vegetable?
well yes, but if you cannot get, do something else, if you can and just don’t want them, eat them anyway.
hi, just finished my day 1.It was v.difficlut towards end of day.But still i managd with pomegranate,melon and apple
Iam 174 cm ht and 107.5 kg wt

Hi, in wonder soup I don’t wanna use cabbage instead of that can I use cauliflower n broccoli or if u can suggest some other veggies that can be added that’ll be great.
Thanks.
You sure can, just don’t use corn or peas…
Hi,can I use salt with vegetables and can I have corn as vegetable.
I prefer no on corn, but if you do, just a little for seasoning. Yes you can have salt, peppers, spices, etc…
I have a crazy question. I can’t stomach down regular milk nor almond or coconut. I can drink almond dark chocolate. Is that okay to mix and make my shake on for the fourth day? Thanks for answering
how much sugar is in it? what is the sweetener?
17 grams per cup and it has cane sugar in it
yah no good, but up to you… cane sugar is so bad. Do your best 🙂

I AM NOW ON MY 4 TH DAY. WAT IS THE WAY TO TAKE TOMATOES TOMORROW AS I HATE RAW TOMATOES. WHEN SHOULD I TAKE BROWN RICE. WAT CAN I HAVE ALONG THAT. PLZ ANSWER ME IMMEDIATELY
roast them, blend them into a soup, use garlic, onions and spices to help. Stew them up to you. read day 5 vegetarian plan, it tells you when to take rice.
I’m in bed reading all the comments and I’m ready to start the diet today. My husband brought all my food yesterday. I’m glad I have the support…I’ll let you know how the first day went. Btw I am not doing soup today.
you do not have to do the soup 🙂
Support is amazing and helps a ton!
Hi can I have lentil soup instead of the soup above! I can’t have that i don’t like it! Thanks
no, sorry. lentil,s have protein, etc. This soup is benign so to speak during the diet. You can change up the veg and add spices as you like though.
Thanks! How much exercise would you recommend a day? Also can I eat as much fruit on day 1 as I like? And finally I don’t like veg with my potato on day 2 can I have marrow fat peas? Thanks
Do it as you like, I only recommend HIT training. Watch and read here. http://fitness.mercola.com/sites/fitness/archive/2013/06/21/interval-training.aspx
Yes, i prefer folks add fat to the potato so those will be OK in this case.
Thank you for your help! I love fruit so I eat loads! Day 1 today I had lentil soup thinking its good but il start day 1 tmrw with loads of fruit! Thank again
LOL, I do to. Keep in mind off diet, try and eat the fruit with some protein or after a meal.
I thought proteins not allowed on day 1! Just fruit
true, you will see when meat is allowed, then you can have a vegetarian substitution for it.
I can’t have this soup at all even if I mix the spices and stuff! I just don’t like veg and hate cabbage! I can only eat homemade lentil or chicken soup but we can’t have that because of protein! Il have to diet without soup LOL
I was really hungry I’ve had some lentil soup again! Hopefully it won’t have a major effect to my diet
i have jus got this diet of a women who recommened it to me after avin a colonic irrigation, on day 1 do i have soup aswell as fruit..or jus fruit alday i dont understand it
We lay out each day for you. But you can add soup any day of the diet, as much as you need, It is there to help you nit be hungry, you can add salt, pepper, spices to the soup if you like.
can i eat dates any day during diet?
no, not at all, pure sugar so to speak.
Hi,
I have a gastric problem and i have started the GM diet today. But because of gastric problem i got vommited what ever the fruits i had in the evening.
I want to reduce my weight. Please help
Since we are not doctors we cannot offer medical advice. I will say though, if you have gastric/digestive issues, your food should be cooked, raw foods are very tough on digestion. My wife has issues, so she does not do anything raw really right now until she heals her guts.
On day 1 can we eat as much fruit as we want or does it have to be a certain amount! I usually eat apples or watermelon alot!
normal off diet, stick with 2 to 3 servings of fruit. Day 1, basically as much as you like, just stop before you get too full, never overeat 🙂
Thank you
Hey! Can anyone pleeaaaasseee help me.. Im on the 3rd day nd i havent lost a pound!
Tell me what you have eaten and rank the last 3 days. Also when did you weigh yourself. 1st thing in the morning after going to the bathroom?
By d end of last month I read the article of gm diet and I decided to go forth for it. On my first attempt I lost 4kgs in a span of just five days, however, I was interrupted by a mandatory cause n I had to go out of station and as such I couldn’t continue with the diet. So after a gap of a week I have started d diet again and m on the second day now, but m confused if starting it again dis early might hamper my health, if not, will d diet work on me as effectively as the last time???
You will be OK. Just finish it…. Of course if possible 🙂
Thnks author…. Will update the result soon 🙂
Hi , I am suffereing from high bp and I suffered from polio in legs when I was 3 month old. Now I am 32 and have gained weight upto 65kgs doctors told me reduce weight as I am having walking challege. I am following this plan today is my first day. So not to get faint and weekness I just strted with a tea less suger and a chapati that has ajwain. as I donot want to faint. Please sujjest me something that I can take every day with dight that fill my stomach..like vegitable daliya or anything .. Thanks
I am sorry about your suffering. Heath issue can be tough to over come.
If you are eating chapati you have 100% ruined this diet, Those are empty carbs/calories and are junk to your body. they give you false energy, cause weight gain, etc. Sorry. I can’t help you further if you’re eating bread.
The first week of my gm diet I reduced 5 KG but in the second week its only 1 Kg Why its happening in that way …?.
Can I have Bhel Puri and Masala Puri on Day 5,6,7 ….?.
No on those, best not to. are you doing it 2 weeks in a row?
Hi, i started my gm diet today…. can i have wonder soup from today itself or from tomorrow?
any day you are hungry for extra food.
day two …but I ate boiled peas ..now wot
you’re fine, peas are just not ideal, especially eaten in large qty’s.
can i take a bowl of cooked bottle gourd on day 2 of gm diet
for wonder soup do we have a supplement for cabbage and celery.
wating for your reply
regards
no on gourd day 2, actually you can for breakfast in place of potato. You can sub other veg in the soup as you like. Just no corn or peas, and few carrots.
Can i stop the diet at day 4 ? I only need to lose 3kg and im 16 . Im a little concerned about the yoyo effects. Thanks
yoyo happens when not completing a plan. the last few days are more normal eating, don’t stop. also when you come off this program, eat healthy balanced meals.
I am planing to start GM diet. Its very interesting. I have a question. Can I smoke while in I am in diet?
Hello, good luck 🙂 Try and never smoke, it really alters you health as far as weight loss in so many ways ….
HI , Im on day 1 and i ve taken 2 dates palm … Does dates add to carbs ? or does it fall into right category of fruits.. Thanks in advance
they are pure sugar really. 2 are basically 2 servings of fruit. It’s not in one sense so much the carbs, they are just a bad choice. So be careful.
Hi, I have started the gm diet today, I have a question regarding the soup, is there a substitute for cabbage in the soup since my doctor told me that i should not be eating cabbage??
definitely don’t eat it if you cannot, broccoli, cauliflower, just what ever you like.
Well, am i thyroid patient so i guess i should avoid cauliflower and broccoli too but will go with the remaining vegetables, thanks alot 🙂
no goitrogens, good idea…
Can we blend the soup?
sure thing
Hey its my first day on this diet… Is it recommended that i go for spinning and sum it up with some floor exercises throughout this diet?

NO, and please be patient, you post will get answered, we are on a different time zone.
Hi,
Iam going to start GM diet tomorrow. Am a pure veggie.. What all fruits and veggies can i eat for first two days?
Can you be more specific. I live in Chennai [Tamil Nadu,India]
look in the upper right corner, all days are laid out. however, you are in a different area, so local fruits and veg are fine as substitutions. No corn, peas or avocado right now. Potato or starchy veg only when we say.

Anyone know if egg whites from hard boiled eggs (without the yolk) are OK to eat during this diet? i work out with weights and dont want to give up all the protein i usually take in during the day.
not technically OK, you have to have protein working out with weights, so either do the egg whites and weights or cut the weights until you get protein.
Ok thanks the reply. I do have one question about day 7 and brown rice. im on day 5 now and so far so good. What type of rice does it matter?
white is better, but never instant rice
Hi Author, Can we substitute water in the wonder soup with low sodium chicken broth? Is there a significant difference in doing so?
you could use a cup or 2, assuming there are no additives and chemicals in it like MSG.
Any suggestions on what types of foods to eat day 8,9, 10 etc? very happy with the results of the 7 days program (ending today for me) I’ve lost 7.5 lbs and feel great. I don’t want to give it all back so what should i avoid and what’s a good maintenance diet moving forward? Any insight here would be greatly appreciated!
I did put something together for meat eaters and vegetarians, look at the top 2 posts here.

Today is my 3th day… but i had knorr soup on day 2 since i didn’t find the receipe of wonder soup…. anyways thank u so much for ur blog.. am preparing the wonder soup today…..
I just wanted to know if i can substitude tomatoes for something else on day 5… cause i can’t take raw tomatoes at all..
you can cook the tomato or pick another veg. beware of canned soups. MSG, loads of bad oils and preservatives, can really hinder weight loss. FYI for the future 🙂
Can i use baby corn instead of celery? Bby corn is considered to be a non starch vegetable? Tnxs
No, not the same at all, not even close, corn is still a grain. Sorry.
In the wonder soup, can i use chicken breast broth instead of water? Tnxs
yes, but no fat/oil then when cooking onions
Hi , I just made the soup but with a little adjustment so please tell me if this recipie is ok:
1 large onion
1 cabbage
2 carrots
1 cup cilantro
2 zucchini
Water.
Is that ok? I didn’t add tomatoes or celery is that ok?!
Also please I need to know , with regards to quantities of fruits and vegetables that are mentioned in the gm diet are they open quantities?
Please I would appreciate a prompt reply as today is my second day.
Hello, looks perfect to me… Those are very base and good veg.
They are open, of course never over do the fruit, but yes open.
Tnxs for d advise, if i donnot want celery and tomatoes, can give some list of vegis that i can include in my wonder soup? Tnxs again
zucchini, squash, broccoli, cauliflower, NO corn and NO peas. See what you have local that could work.
can I use zucchini in the soup I dislike cabbage an cellery.
What about sweet potatoes?
zucchini is great, no sweet potato until after the progam.
In day 5, 20z of beef in converted to many kilos? Tnxs
20 oz + .567 kg
On the 1st day which is unli fruits, can i eat pinneapples?

Can I add salt and pepper to my taste.
Yes and please be patient for answers, you do not need to remind me you are needing a reply 23 minutes after posting the first question. I am happy to help.
You can also add peppers, herbs and other spices as you like 🙂
Hi..
Today is my 1st day of GM diet.
I just want to know whether I can change to Choc Milk or Strawberry milk instead of pure milk on day 4?
thanks 🙂
Hello.
No, they will be loaded with sugar, not to mention chemicals, fake colors and so on. Unless you want to gain weight you have to not drink stuff like that. You can do unsweetened almond milk if you like. sorry. Good luck though 🙂
Hi day 4 lost 3kg feeling good, just made soup without cabbage , now instead of the milk can I have a low carb protein drink instead of milk, also on rice day can I have instead of the rice, slim rice has 10calories a packet I intend to do this for another week, really worried about gaining the weight back, even though I have lost don’t seem to be losing much in inches
Hi Author,
Today is my 3rd of GM diet plan. I am worry about 5th day plan. I don’t eat any meat, fish and eggs. Would you please suggest me. What food will I take instead of chicken or fish or eggs soup?
Would you please tell me any other soup instead of taking wonder soup. I hate cabbage.
-Saritha
You can do some steamed veg instead of soup.
Legumes, quinoa or rice can be used for meat. Each of these needs some good fat like ghee.
Hi Author,
Would you please let me know the fish soup for day 4. I don’t eat beef and chicken.
-Krishna
fish soup? There is no fish soup on this program. sorry.
Hi.. M on day 5 … Had sprouts with tomatoes in the morning.. Salad of tomatoes and cucumber for mid morning. And then brown rice .. Have started to feel so full and looks like I have gained back what I lost earlier in four days.. Why would that be?
well did you weight? Looks like you gained weight, you likely just feel bloated.

Hi Author
I have started this GM diet today and i hope i will stick to it, but have a question. Can i lose 20-25 kg of weight by repeating this diet ? Does this plan affects to the skin as we lose weight fast? I have read the whole comments of people but have not found my answer, so i thought of asking here.
Thanks in advance
~Shweta
Hello 🙂
You need at least a 2 week break in between each set. However you can still go gluten and sugar free, almost eating similar to day 6 in between that time. If anything cutting processed foods, sugar and wheat will make your skin a ton better.
Hie and thanks for your reply 🙂
Please review this once.
Day 1
BF – 2 apples
Lunch – bowl of papaya
Dinner – 1 Apple
And in between 2 times i had wonder soup and almost 8 glass of water.
Day 2
BF – Boiled potatoes, boiled cauliflower and added tomato also in that
Lunch – Same in lunch as breakfast
Dinner – I will have some raw vegetables and salads with sprinkled salt on it
8 glass of water.
Just tell me am i doing right or followed something wrong. And as i added tomatoes, ginger, onion in wonder soup was that okay?
I hope you will be replying soon 🙂
Thanks again
salt, spices, herbs and peppers are all OK to season your food. Day 1 seems a little skimpy. Keep in mind less is not better.
the potato day 2 needed fat like ghee or butter. Yes the soup sounds fine. All looks good so far 🙂
ohh oki happy to hear that 🙂 how much ghee i can have this day? BTW i love ghee n all this stuff 😉
* Is there any limit for potatoes for this day?
And very important question 😉
*can i lose 20-25 kg with repeating this diet?
yes only in the morning but it can be a large one.
possibly, folks do. The ones that do the best is when they cut sugar and gluten in between plans.
Are chick peaks allowed to manage the hunger ?????
I’m on Diet Plan : Day 2.
Vinod. Mumbai.
No, they are carb heavy, etc. You can do the soup.
I am on day 2 hoping great result i am going good with my gm diet plan thank u for such great plan will post my result soon
Keep on going 🙂
Hi,
I am on day 4 today. I guess i have lost weight, but i am scared to check my wait. I will wait till 7 days and check at the end.. I have few question. Would be of great if you can help me with these 🙂
1. On day 5, can i cook rice with smashed tomatoes, salt and chilli powder, to make it taste like tomato rice? Or do I need to eat plain rice only?
2. I make the soup following way. Is this ok for the diet?
cabbage, beans, capsicum and 1or2 baby corn, water, salt and pepper — Boil all these together for 3-4 mins.
3. Can i eat dal with rice on day 5, 6 and 7.
4. Is adding tamarind to any dishes during the diet good or bad?
5. Is very small amount of jaggery to the dishes during diet good or bad?
Sorry for the long list of questions. Would appreciate if you can help me with these questions soon, as i have to plan my day 5 diet depending on your reply.
Thanks in advance for your reply.
I used to never check my weight until after the 7th day.
1) Nope, add spices however you want and enjoy. When you replace meat, you need a little fat. Meat has fat naturally, so should your dish.
2) No beans!!!!! Why are you adding beans to the soup? Beans are not a vegetable. Beans have loads of carbs, and vegetables have a trace amount. Plus beans have protein. Beans are OK as a meat replacement day 5 and 6, but then you would not need rice. This is a huge mistake and will mess up the program.
Beans are and can be healthy, but you cannot change the program.
No baby corn, they are not OK. Where did you get this recipe? Please read the Wonder Soup recipe….
3) Dal, yes but you need to reduce the rice you eat.
4) NO! It is OK after the program.
5) No, unless you want to gain weight. It’ sugar, giving it a fancy name does not change the fact that it’s sugar.
I truly suggest you re-read this program and try and follow it more closely. Sorry….
Thank you for the response. By bean i meant green beans (string beans). Is that also a problem?
I thought that is a healthy vegetable 🙁
green beans are fine. Good news 🙂
Oh thank you.. Thats a great relief. I have had about 4-5 babycorn till now. Hope that will not have any adverse effect on the program (fingers crossed).
Today is my 5th day of diet. I am planning to have rice for breakfast and lunch. And wonder soup for dinner.
Will let know the result on monday… 🙂
Corn is technically a grain, it’s nutrient dead, a big GMO product so not recommended. However you should be fine. Keep on going 🙂 Make sure that rice has fat, meat does, so the replacement should.
Hi,
I am on my 3rd day but hav lost only 700grms. I am following the diet well expect that i added sone peas to d soup by mistake. Is it ok losing so lil wght or do i have to curb on something for better results?
I also want to ask if I can add sugar to the banana shake orelse sugarfree sweetner?
kindly reply.
Thanks.
Well if you want to gain weight, then I would not add sugar or a fake sweetener. You can have stevia if you need. What did you eat and drink day 2? keep going, let’s see what happens after day 4…
On day 2 I had one potato in the morning, GM soup in lunch and diner and cucumber in evening snacks.
Hi I have few doubts..Instead of beef can I substitute with chicken on day 5? And also I dont get brown rice.Can I have normal white rice instead of brown rice.
if its indian version you have mentioned cottage cheese, is that normal paneer which we get in shops?And there is no soya curd in my place.Is normal cow/buffalo curd is fine.
please advice.
Another meat is the best way to go when replacing beef. So yes the chicken is great.White is better to many anyway. So yes on white. No, you cannot buy paneer in shops. You have no clue what oils they use, are they using MSG, sugar, etc. Sure buffalo curd is fine.
Thank you so much for your reply.I will avoid paneer then. I will get back to you if I have any doubt. Hoping to loose my weight after my diet.Will update u how I feel after diet.Thank you once again dear author.
please do, I always look forward to hearing how folks do. I never say things here to be hard, it’s just the truth when it comes to eating out, etc…
Hi again sorry to bother you.I am on my day 4 plan nd I feel light nd feeling good.I have below doubts.
1) For day 5.Instead of raw tomatoes can I make them into pieces nd cook with chicken nd have.I dont tak beef.So as you said I prefer chicken.I prefer to saute onion tomatoes garlic in litle olive oil and add salt pepper cumin jeera spices nd add chicken piece nd cook.Then when its tender will have them.Can I also add chillies or chilli powder?I love to add.
2)In my day 3 I had melon nd papaya for breakfast nd veg soup for lunch then again melon papaya for dinner.There was bandh in my place nd I could not get other vegetables nd fruits for my day3.Was that fine for my day 3 or did I do any mistake?
Regarding water I am having 2liters.Since its raining here I am not able to drink more.I tried drinking nd I feel like puking.I do not get what to do on this.
Please suggest me
Never a bother.
1) You cook the tomato if you like. Chicken is great, and how you mentioned cooking is fine. Chili’s in any form are great.
2) DO the best you can, you are fine like that.
NEVER over drink water and never under do it. So if you feel full on water stop 🙂
Thank you tonns..
I have one more doubt.Can I sleep after breakfast or lunch? If No then how much time gap should ne there between food and sleep?
Just don’t nap right after a meal, would need to be an hour or so after at least
Oh great I will have minimum one hour gap after food.
This is second day of my GM diet…first day i had fruits and second day I m completely on vegetables…I have added little red chilli powder and a pinch of salt in my wonder soup and also very less amount of sprouts…is that fine???will it affect my weight loss plan??
Second doubt- I usually walk for 3kms in morning follwed by 20mins of yoga and 15 mins of aerobics and around 2kms in the evening(just started yesterday) .Is this fine for GM diet plan???
Please reply
Thanks in advance
Salt, pepper and spices are fine. The only issue with salt if you eat to much is you might retain some water weight. Sprouts should only be used in moderation but are post plan great to have. Don’t tear down your muscles for the first few days ,you have no protein to rebuild. Good luck 🙂
This GM diet plan is very good I done two times
And I have reduced 12kg…I have given 5 days gap
For 2nd diet plan…I was 110kg after 2 diet now its 98kg thanks to GM diet..
My advice is pls do exercise after diet plan complets.
WOW
Nice job. Exercise yes can be great I do recommend Burst or HIT training.
Hi can you please tell me Can I add little olive oil nd spices to vegetables like brocoli letuce carrot cucumber nd microwave it for 10 mns nd have for day2.I cant have raw or boiled vegetables.
kindly advice
Cooking is great, you really should have no oil unless we say, a very tiny bit will be OK. However if you microwave your food, you have 100% killed any nutrients it may have. Please stop killing your food 🙂 My house came with a microwave, I store spices in it…
Haa haa storing spices is great but I dint know microwave is bad.OMG yesterday was my day2.I add a little olive oil nd microwave nd had for dinner alone..breakfast i had potato then lunch soup nd my dinmer was the microwave veggies. my 2nd day was a mistake is it.How should I compensate.pls say me.Im worried now.Nd thank you for reply.
🙂
Study it, how is irradiating your food good though? Up to you, trust me when i say this, science easily backs it up, if you want a sure fire way to 100% ruin everything you eat, the microwave will do it. Keep rolling, all should be OK …
I trust what you said.but do I have to start again from day1 or can I just continue since its my day3 today..im worried I really want to lose my weight dear author. Please tell me.
Just keep rolling on, see how you do. I think you will be OK…
Thank you thank you.I wil update you on my diet and weight loss.Feeling good after your msg.
Hi author sorry by mistake instead of replying under my name.I have sent the msg in another lady(Akila’s) msg.I am sorry.My 7days completed nd my friend is still on her diet.I lost only 1.5kg.Is that normal or is it very less kg loss?
Hello
1.5kg is actually really good. Keep in mind there are variables that can cause the weight to be less at times: Examples would be someone cheats a little, under lying health issues like thyroid problems and cortisol issues. Also ladies sometimes struggle more due to their hormones and so on. Also keep in mind weight loss is progressive, this diet should also change your mindset about food.
Oh god thank you.I thought I did some mistak..but I did not cheat food. To be very frank this diet varies day by day so it was easy to follow.I will see if I canfollow the diet again after a week.Thank you dear.
you can try a week, 2 is better, look at the plan I sent over and see if you could do that 2 week prior to this one again. You did awesome to me 🙂
Hurray I finished my 7days.I feel realy very good.But I doubt of my weught loss.I have lost only less than 2kgs.Why is that? Day1 I had bf-melon nd apple in a bowl.Lunch-Papaya nd watermelon, Dinner-Papaya nd melon. Eveng-little pomegranate. For Day 2.bf-Potato with litl olive oil, Lunch-soup, finner-Boiled vegies lik brocoli, letuce, nd raw carrot cucumber. For day3.Bf-Papaya nd melon, lunch-soup, water melon, dinner-apple nd melon piecec.For day4.Bf-1banana nd 1 glass skim milk. Lunch-soup, eveng-1banana shake, dinner-1banana nd litl soup. For day 5.Bf-Chicken pieces2 nd litl soup.Lunch-Chicken saute with tomatoes nd onion nd chillies in olive oil, dinner-2piece chickn tomatoes nd onion saute with olive oil.For Day6.BF-Boiled vegies, lunch-soup nd chicken saute in loive oil, Dinner-cucumber carrot, garlic.For day7.BF-Watermelon 1 bowl, Lunch-1cup rice saute in olive oil with spices onion carrot chilly, Dinner-Left rice of around 5spoons nd water melon.Allthe days I had water how much ever I could. IS there anything wrong I did in my diet.Why ony less than 2kg lost author?
Nd also I did not do any exercise in these days.I was just doing house hold work of cleaning stuffs.Please help me to lose weight more.Nd tell me what mistake I have done. Thank you.
🙂
Patience in weight loss is needed, understanding your body, etc. Not everyone is the same. To me you need to do 3 things to start.
1) Go gluten free.
2) No sugar
3) Cut all bad fats.
Read this plan, look at the top 2 posts and see what you think.

Thank you lots n lots.I will do my best to follow as you said.i undrstood my body my health I only should take care.you are so good.Thank you lots dear author.
Good luck 🙂
The loss is great first of all, congrats. I have mentioned just in another post weight loss may vary for reasons such as hormones (ladies), underlying health issues like thyroid issues or high cortisol levels. Just to name a couple. Your diet looks good to me except day 6. Why so little food? You could have had 3 meals and a snack, each needed protein. But that is it, looks perfect to me…
Hee hee ok great I was thinking that I might loss upto 5kgs haa haa lol.Thank you for reply yeah I have thyroid problem nd its in control due to medicine in empty stomach daily.Heee her day6 ther was shortage of chicken since that was fasting day I had to hide n eat nonveg if not mom would jump on me.lol..Ur diet plan was not that tough to follow but just had a little carving to eat other food stuffs but I controlled.I will see if I can follow the diet again..Can you please tell me what to do post gm diet.I want to only reduce more weight.Once again u r do helpful in clearing doubts nd suggesting things. Thank you again.
Well, your thyroid issue is not technically controlled by medicine. Sure it helps depending on what you have. But if you have a thyroid issue you should NEVER eat gluten/wheat. I found out I had a thyroid issue although it’s early on and I am actually healing already thanks to my functional healthcare person. But look at a test I did. Anything in red means I have a severe auto immune reaction to it. Why? All of those foods have their own kind of gluten, a genius guy found out it mimics the protein molecule found in wheat and reacts the same with your thyroid. I cannot have these foods until I heal and retest. Just because you are on meds, has nothing to do with whether you can eat foods that react with your thyroid. Here is my test: http://thyroidboards.com/index.html/_/other-health/sample-array-4-%E2%80%93-gluten-associated-cross-reacti-r22
I also recommend you spend some time with this guy on his site. To me he is the top thyroid guy by far – Dr. Kharrazian. http://thyroidbook.com/
Please be careful, your thyroid issue means you have to make a lifestyle change.
OMG thank you so much..I will take care nd I never thought it so serious.But very concern of you.Thank you so much I will go through the site you have sent.According to the test oats, cofee, tapioca, corn, milk is good to takr when I have thyroid right? Did I get that correct? Can you please say me wjat is gluten free food or whch food contains gluten then I eill avoid those.After your msg I got littke nervous thinking about thyroid issue nd im assisted eith pcos too..nd taking medication for both..I shoukd change my lifestyle I understood author.
Well it’s all new science. What was happening was people with thyroid issues go gluten free. Yet they eat all of this junk gluten food. Rice for example has gluten, just a different type. This PHD doctor – scientist guy realized his patients were not healing after cutting wheat type gluten. If you cannot do the test, you do what;s called an elimination diet, basically you go do to meat/legumes (if you are vegetarian) and veg. Do that 30 days and then intro the foods 1 at a time every 14 days or so. I had to eat these foods 3 times a week for 3 weeks to do the test and I was literally miserable. Hope it all goes well, get to know Dr. K… He is the man on this topic.
Oh no, you cannot have those foods if you have thyroid issues possibly. Likely you cannot but you have to test. Any food in red I CANNOT have. Scary right, but at least I know. My main carbs are plantains, plantian flour, bananas and other fruit.
http://www.glutenfreeliving.com/nutrition/the-basic-diet/
I found the link for gluten free foods.I wil follow this. You are really very helpful nd made me to understand that I should have a complete change in my food style nd I will surely do that.
FYI, this is a horrible article, so mainstream and will not help you 1 bit. Their list is outdated, common and has nothing to do with good health. Sorry. Stick with DR. K…
Its really scary author..When I saw the food list of gluten free diet I understood that I should have a complete change in my food im taking..I will really do that because im really suffering a lot with this thyroid harmonal issues. I will get to kno the Dr.Kharrazian as you said.This is my first diet plan first intro to blogs nd comments nd im just so thankful that you made me feel so comfortable nd u r very helpful. I just don’t kno how to thank you.I wish I could invite you home nd give a big treat but gluten free haahaaa lol
LOL – Trust me I have learned to do some awesome thing with plantain flour actually! I had no choice 🙂

Hello, use the contact us form at the bottom of this page… http://gmdietforums.com/
Are there any risks in following the GM diet 2 weeks in a row ?
Not that I know of, we recommend the minimum 2 week wait but people choose not to all of the time.
Mistakenly posted on wrong blog. Sorry!!
THANKS!
Hello sir
Today is my first day of diet and at dinner time I had taken wonder soup,becz I was feeling hungry.is it ok!
take any time you are hungry 🙂
Today is my second day. I am very happy with this diet. On the fifth day, it recommended to eat 1 cup of rice. Let me know any side dishes along with rice.
you can have the wonder soup, or steamed veg. Tomato can be cooked or not and each rice meal needs good fat like ghee.
Hi, I want to start this diet.
pls tel me whether this wonder soup once prepared in the morning can be consumed in lunch or not as i will pack box for lunch?
it can be anytime of the day, any of the days when you need extra food 🙂
Iam on day four now, can i use Kellogs/Knorr Soup on day 4, as making a soup quiet difficult to me 🙂
no, never, have you read the ingredients? YIKES 🙂
Iam on day four now, can i use Kellogs/Knorr Soup on day 4, as making a soup quiet difficult to me 🙂

Hi,
I am on GM diet day 4 and felling very very hungry and i am at office so can i have bhel puri.
Plz help me with the quick answer.
no sorry…
Dear author,
I am sorry for these many questions 🙁
1) On day 2 can I have eat vegetables which are stir fried in 1 or 2 spoons of olive oil.
2) On day 4 do we have to eat 6-8 small or big bananas and should the glass of milk be long or short?
3) On day 7 can we drink fruit juice as many times as we want?
4) On day 1 can I have fruit juices?
5) On day 2 can I have hot and sour soup with loads of vegetables and very less oil?
6) I am a teenager can I do the diet? are there any risks in doing it?
PLEASE REPLY!!!!!!!!
I am going to start this diet in 2 days
Always ask questions if you have them, never be sorry here 🙂
1) less oil – and yes you can.
2) Well have you not read day 4 here? it’s 4 bananas. Large ones.
3) No, a glass is fine and it has to be fresh.
4) No
5) you can have a version of our wonder soup. How are you making it sour?
6) I see no risks. Have you asked a doc or your parents if you are unsure. Look at the foods. Are they OK per any diet restrictions? Think natural, based on your questions you rely too much on bottled juices which are junk and pure sugar. Beware of food additives, etc. Only pure – natural foods please.
Sir,
i dont like brown rice..what can i eat instead of brown rice..plzz rplyy
white rice is fine or legumes….

Hi i had ligament injury in november & still going for physiotheraphy tratment,i am planning to start GM diet,suggest me weathr i can go for GM diet at this moment without any weakness.
It’s a detox plan and can cause a little weakness possibly, beware.
can i take knoor vegetable soup?
No, never. It’s full of junk, bad oils, MSG, and additives. Think pure and natural on this plan.
Can I have wonder soup on day 1 please answer . Today is my first day and I m feeling a bit hungry.
yes any day, that’s what it’s there for, when you’re hungry…
At last first day ended
Hello!
1. Can Thyroid patients follow this diet when in control with meds?
2. Can we also take raw mango (green) with vegs for Day2?
1) You can, however It will not be great for the thyroid, however may be much better for your thyroid then what you are doing now. Example if you eat wheat and sugar, your thyroid will worsen and never get better. So at least this program is gluten and sugar free.
2) yes but just a little…
Can I replace olive oil with some other oil? If so which one?
ghee, grass fed butter, coconut oil or palm oil. I suppose a little avocado is OK as well.
Thanks for your prompt reply
Hi,
Today is my Day 1 of the diet.few questions:
1. I had warm water with honey, acv and lemon in morning. Should I drop diet or continue.
2. Not finding celery. Any substitute for the wonder soup.
drop honey only, it’s sugar water and only hurts you. warm lemon water is fine
peppers, more of another veg, no worries there 🙂
Also I had 2 apples with the chaat masala added. Did I make a mistake?
pure spices are OK…. assuming there is no MSG, sugar or wheat.
I am on my 2day. It is wriiten can have gm soup on any day. so 2nd day is also ok, right? can i add pumpkin as celery and capsicum i dont like. pls help
no pumpkin, it’s carby and starchy, the soup should not be…
Hey I am on Day 1..
Few queries
1. I had warm water with honey, ACV and lemon in morning (250 ml). Is it okay or should I redo the diet some other day without it.
2. Can I eat grapes and pear on day 1? Apple, papaya, kiwi and pomegranate are others that I am consuming.
3. Any alternative to celery in wonder soup? Not finding celery.
Please confirm
1) no honey, it’s a trick that is bad, you are drinking sugar water. Lemon water however is great.
2) yes, just not too many grapes. most fruits are OK other than banana day 1
3) skip or pick peppers, etc
Can I have Red, yellow peeper on day 2
yes 🙂
Can I have Red, yellow peeper on day 2. Also, can I add red and yellow pepper to the wonder soup

I have started the Gm diet plan an i am on my 3rd day i just wanted to know what to do after i am done with the 7th day do i redo the plan again or wait ( how many days do i need to wait for to redo the plan again.) can u please help me with the wonder soup recipe in the Indian version.
please advice.
Thank you.
Hello…
I would wait at least 2 weeks to start it again. The recipe is the same. If you need replace some of the veg with more local veg if you need and spice it as you like 🙂
sorry just wanted to know if i can do the plan for the whole month,till i get the weight that i want or may be do the plan the full year as i am 40yr & 90+ on my weight.please advice.
Hello, a 2 week gap in between plans is best 🙂
Hi Author!
I’m curious to try the diet plan however need to know If people with health issues like hypothyroidism and PCODS can go for such a severe diet plan.? What will be the normal diet plan after completing seven days of diet? Please advice on the complete diet plan after we try out the 7 day diet plan!
You need a deep understanding of the thyroid to understand why you should not do this diet unless you were to add good fat to it, meaning every meal. It is gluten and sugar free which are the 2 top things you need to cut with a thyroid issue. I can share with you how I ate if you like which healed my thyroid.
Can I have vinegar in soup and salads?
you sure can…
Hi I just made the soup. My grandma insisted on putting a bunch of water in it, is that okay? I told her no, but she just went ahead. Theres probably 1 liter or more water in it noiw
LOL
It’s fine, just may taste watered down 🙂
can u please prepare detailed gm vegitarian diet and forward it to me
and can i drink no added sugar juice on day 1, 2, 3.
Pleas read the site, the plan is there 🙂
Hello..
I’ve followed the diet once in the past and lost upto 4 kilos in a week.. It’s been two months and I’m on it again, simply coz it makes me feel lighter and better after the ordeal.. Great job, guys.. This truly works..
I have a few questions and would really appreciate if someone would answer them for me..
1. Can sprouts be added to the diet on Day 2 and 3 along with the veggies, or no – coz they’re rich in proteins?
2. Can I substitute beef/chicken with eggs-soya-paneer on day 5 and 6, coz I’m following a veggie diet this time around.. (Also, should I restrict myself to only egg whites, and how many eggs can be consumed?)
Thanks.. will post the results on Day 7.. hope to lose atleast a couple of kilos..
1) No, they are not a veg, here I eat long green sprouts with no beans. You mean beans wit ha tiny green sprout. They may be healthy, I would never eat beans unless they were sprouted. HOWEVER, they do not fit in that day at all. They may have a little protein which is hard for the body to uptake, but they are also carby.
2) eggs and paneer. Soya, never. Why only whites? The yolk has all of the nutrition. 3 eggs per meal max.
Good luck 🙂
Hello sir, as am taking medicine for hypothyroidism I cant have cabbage,broccoli,cauliflower etc. I found your wonder soup recepie and the 2 nd day diet plan mainly consist of these vegetables. Wil you please suggest some substitutes for these. Thanks in advance
Hello…
Understandable…
Pick local veg that work. Zucchini, a carrot or 2, peppers, onion. just no tubers, peas or corn…
Hi today is my fourth day ending…i cant make wonder soup and now i am not opening knorr soup also after readin above..i have only eaten 5 banans and 3 cups of curd in whole day..i want to know 2 things..how much chicken can i eat on 5 th day..i mean like can i eat limited chicken 3 times a day and can we eat fruits or vege on 4th day..?
Oh my, 3 cups of curd? Knorr soup is not allowed at all. Please, you truly need to read each day on this site carefully. Day 5 replace what we say to eat for beef with chicken.
Aurther i read in gm diet faq that you can replace butter milk with curd..untill it doesnot contain any sugar
curd is OK, but curd is way fattier then it;s equal in milk. 1 cup of milk does not equal 1 cup of curd.
Today is my 5 th day and i am alredyfeeling way lighter then yesterday…today i came to office and cant get acess to chicken…i cant eat beef bein hindu…pleas advice how much eggs can i eat for one servong..i read we need to gather 40 gms of protein perserving..so that makes 10 egg as each egg have 4 gm…
3 eggs per meal max. 4 would be OK.
Hello again
its day 4.
1. Is it ok to have ‘dal’ soup. Just baked dal and water.
2. For day 5, can I make a curry of tomato and paneer with a pinch of salt and chilli.
1) no not on day 4
2) yes.
Hello fellow GM Dieters!
My second day today! Lived through yesterday with lotsa fruits n gallons of water… Felt dizzy, but marched on with nothing but a promise of health on my mind… 🙂 I even managed to walk 3 miles in the park 😎 Have started on this program with the scale reading 95 kgs! Can’t wait to see 90 on the same wretched scale…
Day-1 diet
Green organic tea- 8.00 am
Apple- 1- 8.30 am
Pomegranate- 1/2- 10.30 am
Pear- 1- 2.45 pm
Watermelon- 1/8- 3.30 pm
Green organic tea- 4.45 pm
Apple- 1- 5.45 pm
Orange- 1/2- 7.45 pm
Musk melon- 1/2- 9.00 pm
9 cups water and 1 lemon
Potatoes tasted like heaven today morning with chopped onions, celery, ghee and a dash of spices!!! The soup’s sitting on the stove, boiling away… Can’t wait to eat it, smells YUMM! I already feel light and fresh after a day of fruits! Looking forward to complete the 7- day regimen and lose those extra kilos round my belly!
Will keep you all posted with my progress… Best of luck for everyone who is trying this diet!
keep going 🙂 beware on the gallon of water, the dizziness may have been that you flushed too many minerals out…
Hello Everyone
I am planning to start GM Diet plan but before doing that I want to ask u all did you loose ur 10 lbs in one week??
And do we need to repeat this diet every week?
best to wait a week or 2 in between plans…
Starting today…will keep you all posted in 7 days. I think that the weight loss also depends on the person’s BMR? So I’m a little surprised that people have been losing about 5-10kg per week. Hope it works for me !
There are literally tons of factors, underlying health issue can make it tougher for some, what were you eating before? I hope it works also…
Oh I was eating biryanis and tandoori chickens and leading a sedentary lifestyle so put on 10kg in six months and I’ve been trying to lose it since last year haha but the biryani is not helping
Day 2 – i added 1tbsp of coconut oil to my soup – is that okay?
the whole pot yes…
Can day 4 soup be replaced by veggies?
sure 🙂
Questions:
1) Can I add Turmeric to the Wonder Soup?
2) How much chicken should I eat to replace the beef consumed in the last few days? (Not Hindu, just don’t like beef)
3) Can I drink daal (not chaana), only the water from the daal, everyday (non fruit and milk/banana day excluded)
1) yes
2) 4 to 5 oz per meal
3) no…
Have any substitute of celery with another vegetable?
sure, peppers, etc another base nutritional veg is fine. no tubers
Is it a must to have the soup? I am on day 3 and have not been hungry therefore have not made the soup. Also because I cannot stand celery, cabbage and peppers! Does the soup really help with weight loss or is it just a substitute for hunger??
If it does help with weight loss then can I make simple tomato soup? just tomato, water, maybe some carrots, salt, pepper.
not a must. it can help however you will be fine off of it. yes it helps with fiber, minerals also and good fiber. No tomato soup, it is not the same nutritionally at all. it’s pure carbs as opposed to our soup not.
Can GM soup be eaten in any amount? in any day? in any hour of the day? please reply asap i am starving…
yes
what can we replace beetroot and broccoli with?
just a little beetroot… I am not familiar with it, most tubers or root veg are starchy and carby hence not the same as broccoli
Can i hav 3 bananas and 1 mango along wid 3 glasses milk on day 4?
sure 🙂
Plzz reply fast
As I dont like soups can I replace it somthing else?plz help me fast..I’m on my 4th day..
steamed or grilled veg
Hello author,
Started the diet today.
My questions are,
1) can I add chicken stock and chicken boneless pieces to the soup?
I can’t seem robust understand boiling only vegetables with out adding any chicken stock or chicken cubes for taste.
2) day 2 breakfast, what can I put on the boiled potato?? Like cream or butter , is either allowed ?
3) day 4, the bananas and milk day, are no other fruits and vegetables allowed ?
1) not to the wonder soup no not at all, not the point of the soup. the soup can be eaten any day, adding what you want makes it not the same nutritionally.
2) yes, if you rad day 2 here we say that.
3) you can swap other fruits for bananas but don’t add more. some veg is OK
Good luck 🙂
can we freeze and keep the wondersoup for few days?? thank you
sure
Hi,
am on my 4th day and shred 2.5 kilos. What I have for 4th day is 1 liter of milk and 2 indian banana , chosen only 2 banana s because it’s little heavy (150 gm each).my plan is to have it in 4 portions. Is that fine.
you get 24 ounces or so of milk only! rest is OK 🙂
Hi,
1)Do i need to use any soup mix powder such as lipton soup mix for the wonder soup or just – 28 ounces water
2 green peppers
6 onions
2 tomatoes
A mix of celery and cabbage, chopped.
2)On day 5 and 6 , for beef is a hamburger beef patty ok?
Thanks in advance.
soup mixes like that are junk food. So only pure dried herbs and spices. the hamburger patty is fine if you make it and it’s pure. Not from a junk food place.
Hi,
Can I have the Wonder soup as below:
1 large onion
3 tomatoes
2 bunches of celery
no green pepper and cabbage added
btw, I was told that this soup would lower one’s blood pressure as it contains tomatoes and celery. Would it?
Thank you.
looks good. Well if you want to truly lower your blood pressure it takes a lifestyle change and work. Yes certain foods can increase helps in various areas of health
Ok, thanks. My blood pressure is pretty low already so I wanted to know if the soup would cause it to be even lower. Seems like it doesn’t. Thanks.
Hi,
I am on day 3 and haven’t lost any weight, but the body seems to be in better shape. On day 2, I cheated a little.. 4 sips of tea and half a cookie(oats) at about 12 noon, as I was feeling very lethargic and had a headache. But after that, almost magically, I got a lot of energy which lasted the entire day.Has this cookie thing ruined my diet plan? On day 3 now, however, I am on veggies, fruits and wonder soup and there is no craving weakness etc.
For day five, can I replace beef with soya chunks instead of paneer?
A cheat unfortunately is huge. However keep rolling and hopefully this will go well. There is nothing healthy about Soya, sorry not at all recommended here. https://www.gmdietworks.com/general-motors-diet/gm-diet-vegetarian.html
Hi,
Below is the plan that i followed on day 1. Is this fine?
Morning – 1 Apple, 1.5 glass of water
Afternoon – 1.5 bowl of Watermelon, 1 glass of water
Mid Afternoon – 1.5 glass of water
Evening – 1 glass Coconut water
Night – 01 bowl of Watermelon, 2 glasses of water
Looks good…
Is the wonder soup necessary? I am not that much hungry. If i really felt hungry then i will prepare this.
not unless you need extra food
I completed day 3 and about to start day 4. Can i add little sugar in milk. I cannot drink pure milk. I am planning to eat 4 large bananas along with 3 glasses of milk
no sugar unless you are looking to gain weight. blend a banana in it. correct on the amounts 🙂
That’s a nice idea. Thx.
I am planning to follow the below diet on Day 5:
Prepare tomato rice using the ingredients Brown Rice, 6 Tomatoes, Olive Oil, Onion, Ginger, Garlic, Salt, Red chilli powder and a pinch of Turmeric.
BF- 1cup (250ml) of Tomato rice
Lunch – 1cup (250ml) of Tomato rice
Dinner – 1cup (250ml) of Tomato rice
Let me know if this is OK.
great!
On day 5, can i have the below diet:
BF – 1 boiled egg (do i need to have only egg white or can i consume the whole egg)
Lunch – 1 cup(250ml) of Brown Rice + tomato curry(4 tomatoes)
Dinner – 1 cup(250 ml) of Brown Rice + tomato curry(4 tomatoes)
Also let me know for BF, which one is more better – boiled egg or brown rice. I can eat anything.
whole eggs, 3 max per meal and eggs by far better than rice and good fat. white rice better than brown.
Today is my second day of the GM diet.I did not realise that corn should not be taken. I had one full corn during the day. Is this going to hamper my results of weight loss. Is there any way that I can make up for this in the next 5 days. This is what I had from morning : BF : boiled potato(1) Lunch Carrots, cucumber and half a corn Evening snacks : boiled beans Dinner : Half a corn
it can, most corn is junk food, no nutrients and technically a grain. I say start over, why are you eating beans? Beans are not a veg. Also no more than 1 carrot please. Are you reading the program here? did the potato have good fat? This seems like a variation of our plan fro ma site that offers zero support.
Got period during the 5th day of GM diet. Will it vary the results. When is the best time to check my weight? (Soon after the 7th day or do i need to wait till the perios got ended up)
Keep going until the end, yes, hormones can certainly alter diet results unfortunately. hang in there though and keep going.
Hi there,
I am fixing to start this GM diet, and I’ve read through all of the above comments but did not find the answers to my question.
First question is if I have a thyroid problem would this diet be ok too try?
And second question for day 7 in drinking fruit juices are home made frozen lemonade a that consist of the following 3 ingredients; lemons, strawberries, and ice ok to drink?
Also what vegetables are recommended for day two?
Would asparagus, broccoli, spinach, string beans, celery, green red orange and yellow peppers be good choices?
all great choices…
well, if you have a thyroid issue you need to have a diet that focuses on healing the thyroid. This diet is focused only on weight loss. Although it is gluten free which is vital for someone with a thyroid problem, I would day if you do this plan each day needs more good fat in it, every day does actually. Has your doc told you how to eat? No juice like that….
No my doctor hasn’t given me a certain diet to live by. I just have been trying to learn more on my own.
great, go to chriskresser.com
Hi ,
I have started with the G.M. Diet today wanted to ask regarding the GM Wonder soup is it allowed to take the soup on the first day also or its not allowed?? Please do reply asap. As i have started it today
any day as you need 🙂
Hey I lost only 2kgs on 6th day following this diet what might be the mistake I had tomato soup on day 4 and had sprouts n tomatoes on day 5 . on the day 4 I lost 2kgs n checked on day 6 there has been no diff to day 4 & 6 . I’m not satisfied on day 6 with the result .
tomato soup was big no day 5. what did you have day 5 be specific. THX
can I take water pills on this diet
if you need sure
When can I have a glass of wine?
after the plan as you like
Hi I am starting my diet wish me luck!
Good luck and keep us posted.
Can I have wonder soup on day 1 itself?
yeppers any day 🙂
hi, I found this soup to thin. Could I use a tin of pure tomato soup, or perhaps blended tomato’s, or tin of chopped tomato’s to thicken it? or is there something out there that will thicken the end result?
you can blend some, most soups are never pure…
so using a normal tomato soup as a base is a no go?
correct, 99% of the time they have junk for ingredients…
so if I purchase a tin of chopped tomato’s and blend them right down, add it to this mixture. that would be ok?
basically passata added to the base
yes not to much, the soup can be eaten any time because of the fact it has few to little carbs.
Hello,
Please help me with these two questions.
1) Eating raw/boiled veggies is quite tough for me. In Day 2 today, and I did take lots of veggies, but with 1 teaspoon of mayo and 1 teaspoon of chocolate syrup(for a light dip/touch). The mayo and chocolate syrup were fat free. I understand I am wrong. But will this stop giving me results on weight reduction?
2) I am planning to repeat the program again and again with 3 days gap. Is that fine?
Thanks!
Appreciate your help!
1) Did you have the potato and good fat day 2? You actually need fat funny enough. So fat free even makes them more junky and so un-natural. Sorry. Why is fat bad? Good fats are vital to weight loss and health. Yes they will hinder the plan. however keep going.
2) you can try sure.Good luck and hang in there
Hello Author,
Yes i did have Potato on day 2. Please advice how many tablespoons of oil is good for Day 2, or the whole 7 days.
By the way, how do you differentiate good fat and bad fat. Please explain.
Thanks!
Dheepshika
I know you had potato, did it have food fat. a teaspoon and a half fine for that potato, after that a dash n each meal good.
Good fats, pastured animal fats, grass fed better, ghee, olive oil, coconut oil, palm oil and avocado for example.
ad oils, non organic and heat pressed. any veg oil like canola, sunflower, veg, safflower, and so on are full of Omega 6’s, stored in plastic bottles and rancid normally. Think nutrient dense with 100% of what you put in our body.
me along with 7 friends have started .. lot of motivation going around.. we are on our first day…made a full plan on google doc and shared it with everyone…but still have few doubts…havent got my reply for previous query.. ..as there are friends from interior regions where u do not get all the fruits …
1.alternative for tomatoes its difficult have them raw or cooked?
2.is Guava pomegranate allowed?
3.also in wonder soup any alternative to celey can we add coriander leaves instead of celey
4.prescribed chicken recipes are allowed ? as i cannot see them in the main diet plan they appear in the side bar separately so lil confused?
5.can we have as much fruits on 1st day or to specific prescribed amounts mentioned on sample diet plan?
good luck to you all 🙂
1) just pick another veg
2) yes
3) coriander great
4) chicken fine and cook and spice as you like. Do not use veg oils, only good fats with it.
5) yes technically you can.
Can i add small amount of garlic & carrots to GM diet soup???
yes
Hi Admin
I am really inspired by this amazing diet program.
I am going to begin the GM diet shortly.
Could you please clarify the below doubts
1) For the Day 1:Can i have pear and apple? and can i have 2 cups of wonder soup.
2) Day 2: Can i have vegetables sauted in olive oil (Zucchini, Brocolli, mushroom, beans) along with 2 cups of wonder soup.
3) Day 3: Along with fruits and vegetables along with wonder soup.
4) Day 4: I will be having small bananas so can i have 6-8 along with wonder
5) Day 5,6,7: Is there any replacement for curd as I dont like curds (normal/soyabean)
Along with all these 10-12 glasses water on daily basis
hello 🙂
1) yes to all
2) beans are not vegetables they are legumes. if you mean long string beans then yes
3) yes do not over do fruit
4) 8 is fine and soup any day you want it
5) you don;t get curd day 7. days 5 and 6 each meal needs good fat with your rice/legumes.
Another doubt
Can i add 2 pieces of carrot just for taste on day 2 & 3
Also can i add little bit of soya sauce and vinegar for taste
yes for taste, assuming the soya sauce is pure and no wheat a little is fine vinegar totally fine.
Hi,
I am on day2 of my gm diet. I have few doubts
1. Can I have coconut water on any day of the diet plan?
2. I am hypothyroid and for day3 dinner which vegetables can be substituted for cabbage,brocolli?
3. Day 1
Breakfast: half melon
Mid day snacks & lunch: half papaya
Eve: coconut water
Dinner : melon
Is this fine?
4. I have Breakfast time: 10 am lunch 2 pm and dinner: 9 pm. Does the timings hamper the weight loss?
1) coconut water fine
2) whatever other non carby veg you can have is fine
3) Looks fine. eating that late is bad, eating before bed or staying up that late can have just as much of an effect on you as what you at does.
Can i have white basmati rice instead of brown rice on day 5?
I dont take beaf so as a substitute planning to have tomato rice for breakfast , spinach with tomatoes for lunch and dal rice and tomato for dinner.. Is this plan ok for day 5?
yes make sure each dish has a good amount of good fats.
yes have you you read that page? please do, there is more to it. we do not recommend brown but white.
Once the seven days diet is completed, after how many days we can repeat the same??
after round 1 a week or so, then after round 2 at least 2 weeks.
