Is That All There Is?...Peggy Lee

I have been taking part in a diet a friend told me about called the GM diet. It's on-line, so you can Google it. It was supposedly created years ago for the employees and families of General Motors, in order to inspire them to lose weight. General Motors denies all association with the diet, claiming that the idea that they had anything to do with the meal plan is "urban myth". Here is what is NOT an urban myth...I dropped 9 lbs. my first week!

The first three days are kind of challenging. The lack of selection (especially on day one) will have you asking "Is that all there is?"


Firstly, you have to drink a lot of water. A LOT!!!

Day 1 is all fruit.
Day 2 is all veggies.
Day 3 is just fruit and veggies.
Day 4 is "up to 8" bananas and 3 glasses of milk.
Day 5 is 10 oz. of beef and 6 tomatoes. Add another quart of water today!
Day 6 is beef and vegetables.
Day 7 is brown rice, veggies, and fruit juice.

By day 7, you are not even hungry anymore. All week, you can augment your meals with the cabbage soup if you get really hungry. I made it, and it's delicious, but I never even ate any. This is a totally do-able diet, people!


I am now doing it again, since I took three days off (it was the July 4th weekend, my daughter's birthday, and our county fair). I gorged on Pizza, burgers, cupcakes, cake, brownies, Vodka, and more Vodka). At the fair, I was good...bought the funnel cake topped with powdered sugar, and didn't eat one bite! Yeah! Pure torture! Anyway, I gained back three pounds. Three DELICIOUS pounds.

So, now, I am back on the GM plan, and have several of my neighbors doing it along with me! They are all "sold" on it, too! Two to three pounds lost the first day alone! I continue to exercise as I follow the diet, so I am feeling great. I can actually SEE the results, as well! Finally back in my 29s!

Anyway, this is all I could think of to blog about today...and I hope it helps someone out there in the blogosphere! Let me know if you try it, and your results, will ya?!
