Follow the General Motors Diet

The GM diet is a popular diet plan being recommended by dietitians in India and is touted as enabling you to lose 2-5 kg in a week. The program was named after General Motors, though their association with the diet is likely an urban legend.

Steps

1. Eat all fruits on the first day. You can eat all the fruits you want except bananas. It is suggested that you consume lots of watermelon and cantaloupe.
2. Eat all vegetables on the second day. You are encouraged to eat until you are stuffed with all the new and cooked vegetables of your choice. There is no limit on the amount or type. Avoid oil and coconut while cooking vegetables. Have a large boiled potato for breakfast.
3. Eat any mixture of fruits and vegetables of your choice on the third day. Any amount, any quantity. No bananas yet and no potatoes today.
4. Eat only bananas and milk on the fourth day. Today you will eat as many as eight bananas and drink three glasses of milk. You can also have one bowl of vegetables soup.
5. Feast on the fifth day. You will eat one 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.
6. Eat all vegetables on the sixth day. You must eat one cup of rice today and eat all the vegetables you want cooked and uncooked to your hearts content.
7. Eat more vegetables on the seventh day. Your food intake will consist of one cup of rice, fruit juice and all the vegetables you care to consume.
