  Home	»	Nutrition	»	Diet	»	GM	Diet:	The	fastest	way	to	lose	weight	or	yet	another	hoax	diet?Last	Updated	December	20th,	2021GM	diet	is	the	General	Motors	diet	which	is	known	to	help	in	reducing	weight	up	to	6.8	kg	in	seven	days.		This	diet	is	formulated	in	such	a	way	that	each	day	particular	foods	need	to	be	consumed	which	is	known	to	double
  the	fat	burning	process	and	helps	to	lose	weight	rapidly	during	the	seven	days.		The	GM	diet	was	formulated	in	1985	by	General	Motors	for	its	employees.	A	research	team	from	the	US	Department	of	Agriculture	and	the	John	Hopkins	Research	Center	formulated	this	diet.	There	is	no	clear	evidence	that	this	diet	plan	helps	in	reducing	weight	at	such	a
  fast	pace,	but	there	are	various	people	who	have	tried	to	implement	this	diet.The	GM	diet	generally	consists	of	fruits	and	vegetables	with	a	very	minimal	amount	of	calorie	intake.		The	calorie	intake	should	be	way	lower	than	the	calories	which	are	burnt	on	a	daily	basis.	The	diet	consists	of	foods	which	are	rich	in	water.		It	also	recommends	repeating
  the	diet	multiple	times	to	achieve	the	desired	weight	loss.	It	is	also	known	to	detoxify	the	body	and	help	in	digestion.		GM	diet	advises	minimal	to	no	exercise	during	the	seven	days	of	dieting.	The	diet	strictly	recommends	no	caffeine	and	no	alcohol.What	is	the	GM	Diet	Plan?The	diet	generally	includes	fruits,	vegetables,	10	to	12	glasses	of	water,
  brown	rice,	as	well	as	chicken.		Physical	exercise	is	not	advised	for	the	first	3	days	of	the	diet.Day	1	GM	dietThe	first	day	of	the	GM	diet	involves	consuming	only	fruits	excluding	bananas.		Recommended	fruits	include	fresh	apples,	oranges,	watermelon,	papaya,	kiwi,	etc.		There	is	no	limit	to	consuming	fruits	and	there	is	no	time	schedule	to	consume
  the	fruits.		You	will	need	to	consume	8	to	12	glasses	of	water	during	that	day.	Hunger	can	be	suppressed	with	more	fruits	consumption	only.The	recommended	schedule	would	include	starting	the	day	with	breakfast	around	8	to	9	a.m.	with	one	fresh	apple	and	a	glass	of	water.		A	late	morning	meal	can	include	a	half	bowl	of	sliced	cantaloupe	with	a
  glass	of	water	at	around	11	a.m.	For	lunch	a	moderate	slice	of	fresh	watermelon	with	2	glasses	of	water	is	recommended	around	1.	30	p.m.		Post	lunch	snack	may	contain	a	whole	fresh	orange	with	a	glass	of	water	at	around	4	p.m.	At	6:30	p.m.	an	apple	with	a	glass	of	water	is	recommended	for	an	evening	snack	and	finally,	for	dinner	between	8	to	9
  p.m.,	sliced	orange	melon	and	soft	seeded	guava	with	2	glasses	of	water	is	recommended.		It	should	be	noted	that	the	first	day	is	the	preparation	day	for	the	next	6	days	where	you	need	to	consume	fiber-rich	foods	with	lots	of	water.		This	is	helpful	to	flush	out	the	toxins	from	the	body	and	prepare	the	body	for	the	next	6	days.	Other	alternative	fruits
  also	can	be	opted	to	substitute	the	above-mentioned	fruits	and	include	cucumber,	honeydew	melon,	grapefruit,	peach,	green	apple,	etc.		The	desired	weight	loss	for	the	first	day	is	approximately	3	pounds.Day	2	GM	dietThe	second	day	of	GM	diet	involves	consuming	only	vegetables.		Recommended	vegetables	include	raw	or	cooked	carrots,	tomatoes,
  beans,	lettuce,	tender	cucumber,	as	well	as	cabbage.		There	is	no	limit	to	consuming	the	vegetables	and	there	is	no	time	schedule	to	consume	the	vegetables.	You	will	need	to	consume	8	to	12	glasses	of	water	to	stay	hydrated.		More	vegetables	either	raw	or	cooked	can	be	consumed	with	strict	instructions	to	avoid	oil	while	cooking.The	recommended
  schedule	would	include	starting	the	day	with	breakfast	around	8	to	9	a.m.	with	boiled	potato	and	even	a	teaspoon	of	low-fat	butter	is	allowed.		A	late	morning	meal	can	include	tender	cabbage	and	tender	lettuce	salad	with	a	glass	of	water	at	around	11	a.m.	For	lunch,	mixed	vegetable	salad	with	red	onion,	tender	cucumber,	and	carrots,	with	2	glasses
  of	water	is	recommended	around	1.	30	p.m.		Post	lunch	snack	may	contain	one	cup	of	cooked	broccoli	and	a	half	cup	of	red	or	green	bell	pepper	with	a	glass	of	water	at	around	4	p.m.	At	6:30	p.m.,	cooked	non-starchy	vegetable	such	as	cauliflower	with	a	glass	of	water	is	recommended	for	an	evening	snack	and	finally	for	dinner	at	8	to	9	p.m.	salad
  consisting	of	cooked	carrots,	green	beans,	and	cooked	broccoli,	with	2	glasses	of	water	is	recommended.It	should	be	noted	that	the	second	day	is	a	complete	vegetable	day	which	includes	a	large	intake	of	fiber,	proteins,	as	well	as	vitamins	with	very	low	carbohydrates.		A	vegetable	substitute	may	be	considered	such	as	sweet	potato,	beetroot,
  margarine,	shallots,	zucchini,	green	beans,	etc.	Generally,	you	may	feel	weak	by	the	afternoon	of	day	2	due	to	reduced	calorie	and	carb	intake.		This	is	the	day	when	more	calories	are	burnt	as	compared	to	the	first	day.Day	3	GM	dietThe	third	day	of	GM	diet	involves	consuming	all	fruits	leaving	out	bananas,	as	well	as	all	vegetables	except	potatoes.
  	Recommended	fruits	include	apples,	oranges,	watermelon,	ripe	papaya,	and	kiwi.	Recommended	vegetables	include	carrots,	tomatoes,	beans,	lettuce,	tender	cucumber,	and	cabbage.		There	is	no	limit	to	consuming	the	vegetables	or	fruits	and	there	is	no	time	schedule	to	consume	them.	You	will	need	to	consume	8	to	12	glasses	of	water	to	say
  hydrated.	The	recommended	schedule	would	include	starting	the	day	with	breakfast	around	8	to	9	a.m.	with	half	a	bowl	of	cantaloupe	or	apple	with	2	glasses	of	water.		A	late	morning	meal	can	include	half	a	slice	of	tropical	pineapple	or	pear	with	2	glasses	of	water	at	around	11	a.m.	For	lunch,	a	salad	containing	tender	cucumber,	lettuce,	and	carrots,
  with	2	glasses	of	water	is	recommended	around	1.	30	p.m.		Post	lunch	snack	may	contain	one	full	orange	with	half	a	slice	of	cantaloupe	with	a	glass	of	water	at	around	4	p.m.	At	6:30	p.m.	one	pear	with	a	glass	of	water	is	recommended	for	an	evening	snack	and	finally,	for	dinner	between	8	to	9	p.m.,	cooked	broccoli	and	beets	with	2	glasses	of	water
  are	recommended.		A	combination	of	fruits	and	vegetable	provides	the	energy	which	was	lost	in	the	first	2	days	and	the	body	tries	to	accommodate	this	diet	change	more	efficiently.	The	combination	of	fruits	and	vegetables	provides	nutrients,	fiber,	protein,	as	well	as	vitamins.Day	4	GM	dietThe	fourth	day	of	GM	diet	is	very	gruesome	and	would
  definitely	test	your	patience.			You	would	need	to	consume	a	very	limited	variety	of	food	that	includes	around	8	to	10	bananas	as	well	as	4	glasses	of	milk	with	8	to	12	glasses	of	water.		Bananas	which	were	avoided	during	the	first	3	days	are	included	with	no	other	fruits	or	vegetables	allowed.	Distribution	of	the	food	is	the	key	to	managing	day	4.The
  recommended	schedule	would	include	starting	the	day	with	breakfast	around	8	to	9	a.m.	with	2	large	bananas	with	a	glass	of	milk.		A	late	morning	meal	can	include	a	banana	shake	and	a	teaspoon	of	honey.	For	lunch,	GM	diet	soup	is	advised	around	1.	30	p.m.	Post	lunch	snack	may	contain	banana	milkshake	at	around	4	p.m.		At	6:30	p.m.,	two
  medium	to	small	bananas	for	an	evening	snack	and	finally	for	dinner	between	8	to	9	p.m.,	two	large	bananas	with	a	glass	of	milk	is	recommended.	Water	should	be	consumed	in	divided	doses	appropriately.Day	4	GM	diet	concentrates	on	increased	energy	as	well	as	better	digestion	with	the	use	of	bananas	whereas	calcium	and	potassium	are	gained	by
  the	use	of	milk	in	the	diet.		Substitutes	such	as	fig	and	soy	milk	can	be	tried	to	alternate	banana	and	milk.	As	stated	earlier	day	4	would	be	very	gruesome	and	would	definitely	test	your	patience.	People	may	also	experience	mood	swings,	but	with	adequate	water	intake,	the	symptoms	will	subside	quite	easily.Day	5	GM	dietThe	fifth	day	of	GM	diet
  involves	a	completely	new	type	of	food	which	includes	6	tomatoes,	one	cup	of	brown	rice	with	12	to	15	glasses	of	water.		Non-vegetarians	can	choose	chicken	breast	or	fish	as	an	alternate	food	for	brown	rice.	A	minimum	amount	of	oil	is	also	allowed	during	cooking.	Non-vegetarians	can	consume	500	grams	of	chicken	breast	or	fish	which	can	be	fried
  with	a	minimal	amount	of	oil.The	recommended	schedule	would	include	starting	the	day	with	breakfast	around	8	to	9	a.m.	with	a	few	tomatoes,	a	bowl	of	cooked	kidney	beans,	and	2	glasses	of	water.		A	late	morning	meal	can	include	a	cup	of	yogurt	with	2	glasses	of	water.	For	lunch,	a	bowl	of	cooked	brown	rice	or	chicken	breast,	or	fish,	with	a	couple
  of	tomatoes	and	2	glasses	of	water.		Post	lunch	snack	may	contain	salad	with	onions	and	soaked	sprouts	with	2	glasses	of	water.

  carbohydrates	whereas	consuming	chicken	or	fish	provides	lean	protein.		At	the	end	of	the	day,	you	are	expected	to	feel	stronger	due	to	the	addition	of	carbohydrates	and	proteins.Day	6	GM	dietThe	sixth	day	of	GM	diet	involves	consuming	one	cup	of	brown	rice	with	vegetables	of	choice	and	8	to	12	glasses	of	water.

A	late	morning	meal	can	include	a	bowl	of	cooked	kidney	beans	with	diced	tomato	which	is	seasoned	with
  spices	and	2	glasses	of	water.	For	lunch,	a	bowl	of	cooked	brown	rice	or	chicken	breast,	or	fish,	with	GM	diet	soup	and	2	glasses	of	water.		Post	lunch	snack	may	contain	3	to	4	baby	carrots	with	a	glass	of	water.	At	6:30	p.m.,	a	bowl	of	GM	diet	soup	with	a	glass	of	water	and	finally	for	dinner	between	8	to	9	p.m.,	a	bowl	of	cooked	non-starchy
  vegetables	and	a	glass	of	water	is	recommended.		It	is	advised	that	vegetables	need	to	be	boiled	and	never	fried	in	oil.Day	6	provides	high	amounts	of	nutrients	and	fiber,	which	is	essential	for	the	body.		At	the	end	of	day	6,	you	should	be	able	to	notice	a	slimmer	body	and	also	feel	light	and	energetic.Day	7	GM	dietThe	seventh	day	of	GM	diet	involves
  consuming	one	cup	of	brown	rice,	non-starchy	vegetables,	as	well	as	fruit	juice.The	recommended	schedule	would	include	starting	the	day	with	breakfast	around	8	to	9	a.m.	with	a	small	bowl	of	mixed	vegetable	salad	with	a	glass	of	fresh	apple	or	orange	juice.

At	6:30	p.m.,	mixed	vegetable	salad	with	2	glasses	of	water	and	finally	for	dinner	between	8	to	9	p.m.,	GM	diet	soup	and	2	glasses	of	water	is
  recommended.Brown	rice	provides	the	necessary	carbohydrates	as	well	as	fiber	whereas	the	fruit	juice	flushes	out	the	toxins	from	the	body	and	provides	energy.		At	the	end	of	day	7,	you	can	notice	substantial	weight	loss	due	to	the	large	amounts	of	fats	shredded.	You	may	even	attempt	to	break	the	diet	by	choosing	to	eat	on	some	high-calorie	food,
  which	needs	to	be	avoided	at	any	cost.		GM	diet	may	be	repeated	to	achieve	the	desired	weight	loss.	What	are	the	benefits	of	GM	diet?There	are	3	main	benefits	of	GM	diet	and	they	include	fast	weight	loss,	body	detoxification,	and	short-term	goal.		Since	the	person	is	able	to	lose	weight	at	a	rapid	pace	in	a	very	short	period	of	time,	many	people	try	to
  choose	this	type	of	diet.		Another	important	advantage	is	that	a	large	amount	of	water	consumption	and	fruits	help	in	the	detoxification	process	of	the	body.Should	you	trust	on	GM	diet	to	lose	weight?Not	backed	by	research:		There	seems	to	be	no	science-based	documentation	associated	with	GM	diet.		Many	people	have	tried	and	failed	and	very	few
  have	achieved	the	desired	goal.May	cause	muscle	loss:		Restricted	protein	intake	may	lead	to	muscle	loss.		It	is	always	recommended	to	do	only	minimal	exercise	during	the	GM	diet	period.May	cause	change	in	metabolism:		The	body	is	literally	switched	to	survival	mode	where	it	slows	down	the	important	functions	of	the	body.		Due	to	this	reason,
  there	is	a	change	in	metabolism.The	weight	loss	attained	is	not	retained:		The	weight	loss	which	is	achieved	at	the	end	of	7	days	is	not	permanent	and	is	gained	very	quickly	when	you	switch	over	to	the	regular	diet.		In	fact,	you	may	end	up	gaining	extra	weight.Are	you	the	right	candidate	for	GM	diet?GM	diet	is	recommended	for	those	who	need	to
  have	a	quick	fix	to	their	weight	gain.		It	should	be	noted	that	this	diet	plan	is	not	for	long-term	benefit,	but	for	a	short-term	temporary	weight	loss.		During	the	diet	period,	your	body	would	switch	to	starvation	mode	as	this	diet	avoids	essential	nutrients.	Since	there	is	no	consumption	of	salt	and	very	limited	consumption	of	carbohydrates,	you	may
  even	feel	mood	swings	as	well	as	headache	associated	with	it.		Another	point	to	be	noted	is	that	the	daily	routine	of	your	lifestyle	may	be	altered	since	you	are	bound	to	feel	low	on	energy.	This	may	even	impact	your	work	life.	Due	to	these	reasons,	it	is	advised	to	consult	a	medical	professional	before	starting	a	strict	diet	plan	such	as	the	GM	diet.Want
