The GM diet is a seven-day weight loss management plan that consists mainly of selected
fruits and vegetables, and strict amounts of meat. It can be a difficult diet to follow especially
since it relies mainly on foods that are high in fiber and less in protein, fat and
carbohydrates. At the same time however, this diet plan can be used for fast-paced weight
loss regimens, with up to 10 lbs. lost after successfully completing one diet week.

Preparing the Body for GM Diet

On the first day of the GM diet, followers are only allowed to eat fruits. These fresh produce
should contain no form of starch, potassium and carbohydrates, such as bananas. This is
because on the first day of this diet plan, the body is subject to detoxification. Only fruits and
water can be consumed.
Persons who are planning to start the GM diet may consume starchy foods such as
potatoes, oats and bananas the day before their targeted week, so that they would be
packed with enough energy to last for the next morning. They should also practice drinking
lots of water, so that they will not be dehydrated in the succeeding days.
Aside from preparing the body for the diet plan, physical activities should also be set into
rather lighter tasks. Warm-up exercises should be performed before and during the diet, just
to maintain regular metabolic processes and not feel the fatigue. Through exercise, the body
system becomes resilient to the side effects of GM diet, and rather gives way for the
detoxification and weight reduction results.
Day 1 GM Diet Breakfast
The first important meal of the day in a GM diet regimen is breakfast. Followers may observe
a full breakfast consisting mainly of fruits such as melons and papaya together with 1-2
glasses of water. These fruits easily make the stomach full, and at the same time the sweet
tooth satisfied, thus craving for more tempting meals such as pizza and pasta can be
avoided.
Day 1 GM Diet Lunch
Lunch may consist of watery fruits such as apples or watermelons. Lunch time is observed
at 12:00 noon to 1:30 in the afternoon. Consuming a bowl of apples or two cups of

watermelons can already make the stomach full. Other fruits such as kiwi and mangoes can
as well be served.
Day 1 GM Diet Dinner
During dinner, followers may return to melons, kiwi and oranges, as well as 1-2 glasses of
water. Melons can be heavy on the stomach; hence only a half-bowl serving should be
consumed in order not to have a cramped stomach later at night.
Midday Meals and Beverages
While the main beverage allowed for the Day 1 of GM diet is water, followers may also turn
to fresh orange juice and coconut water during midday snacks. Orange juice fills in the
cravings for sweets, while coconut water keeps the stomach full the rest of the day.
Midday meals still consist of fruits, but at varying kinds and servings, so followers can still
maintain a good appetite during full meal times. Raisins, oranges, and apple dices can be
consumed during mid-mornings and afternoons.
Sample GM Diet Day 1 Plan
Breakfast (8:30 AM-9:00 AM)
1 cup of diced apples and 1-2 glasses of water
Mid morning Snack (10:30 AM-11:00 AM)
1 bowl raw papaya and 1-2 glasses of water
Lunch (12:00 PM-1:30 PM)
1 bowl of watermelon or muskmelon and 1-2 glasses of water
Afternoon Snack (4:00-4:30 PM)
1 orange/sweet lime/chico fruit and 2 glasses of water
Evening (6:00-6:30 PM)
1 glass coconut water
Dinner (8:00-9:00 PM)
1 bowl of melon and 2 glasses of water

Preparing the Body for Day 2

Like the first day of the GM diet weight loss plan, the second day would entail another
adjustment for the individual in terms of food intake. The first day of the diet plan required a
strict fruit-only diet, while the second day would be limited only to vegetables.
All sorts of vegetables may be consumed on the Day 2 of the GM diet, and these range from
green leafy vegetables to starchy crops. This is to boost the fiber intake of the body while
regulating the sugar content from the first days consumption, and at the same time foster
metabolic processes.
Unlike in Day 1 in which followers would feel a bit lightheaded due to the lack of
carbohydrate intake and continuous consumption of fluids, Day 2 would dwell more on foods
that can be easily digested by the gastrointestinal tract.
To prepare for the second day of the diet week, followers should eat a full dinner consisting
of heavier fruits such as melons, as they will be using supplemental fiber content the next
day. Drinking as much as 10 glasses of water on Day 1 will also bring good effects on Day 2,
as followers get to feel more relaxed and at ease with the diet.
Unlike in day one where bananas are restricted from being consumed, in Day 2 all
vegetables can be eaten, including those that are high in starch, such as potatoes. This
routine would also give more energy for the day, and followers would be more capable of
doing more strenuous activities and exercises.
GM Diet Day 2 Breakfast
Day 2 of the GM diet may start off with large baked potato with a pat of butter on top. It is
important to keep the stomach heavy during breakfast as this would keep the body
energized the rest of the day. To those living in tropical countries, cassava or sweet potato
may be used instead of the regular potato, as long as there is no sugar added to the meal.
GM Diet Day 2 Lunch
During lunchtime, foods that can be consumed must be lighter, and these may involve
vegetable salads with lettuce, cucumber and cabbage. Salads may be dressed with
vinaigrette or olive oil, but not mayonnaise.
GM Diet Day 2 Dinner
Dinner on Day 2 may consist of other fresh greens, such as broccoli, asparagus, as well as
cabbages, lettuce and cucumber. Boiled beets also prove to be good meals, but they tend to
be heavier on the stomach.
GM Diet Day 2 Midday Snacks and Beverages
When it comes to snacks and beverages, GM diet experts recommend leafy greens such as
boiled cabbage or fresh lettuce in order to maintain a light stomach. Continuous water intake
should be observed to keep the body hydrated. Cherry tomatoes may also be served during
midday snacks, especially in afternoons as they are able to satisfy ones sweet tooth
cravings.

Sample Diet Plan for Day 2 of GM Diet

Breakfast (8:00-9:00 AM)
1 cup boiled potato and 2 glasses of water
Mid Morning (10:30-11:00 AM)
1 bowl of cabbage or red lettuce (raw) and 1-2 glasses of water
Lunch (12:00-1:00 PM)
1 cucumber, 1 tomato and boiled beet and 2 glasses of water
Afternoon (4:00-5:00 PM)
2 tomatoes or 1 cup cherry tomatoes and 2 glasses of water
Dinner (7:00-8:00 PM)
Boiled broccoli, cauliflower and asparagus with salt and spices and 2 glasses of water

Preparing the Body for Day 3

Day 3, nearly half way through the GM Diet. Things should only get easier now. Day 1 of the
GM Diet and to a certain extent, Day 2 can be really hard for some people. On Day 3 of the
GM diet weight loss plan, followers are now allowed to eat a combination of fruits and
vegetables. There is no limit or restriction to the fruits and vegetables to be consumed on
Day 3, although bananas are still not allowed. Followers of the diet plan may find less
pressure to keep up with the regimens demands, as they have already adjusted their
systems to fruit and vegetable intake during the past two days.
During the first three days of the GM diet, it is important to consume only fresh produce, as
they contain more nutritional value. Organic harvests are also recommended, although these
tend to be more expensive and have lesser taste.
Preparing for Day 3 isnt as difficult as that in days 1 and 2; it actually easier to keep up with
the dietary requirements in Day 3 as the body is already used to fruit and vegetable intake.
In most cases, individuals following the diet experience slight headaches in the succeeding
days as they are already allowed to consume meat.
It is likewise encouraged to consume a variety of fruits and vegetables in every meal on Day
3. Having a variety of servings during breakfast, lunch and dinner would not only keep the
stomach satiated, but at the same time content as the appetites cravings are regulated at
lower levels.
It is as well recommended to perform breathing exercises in the morning at the start of Day
3. Doing so will release the tensions garnered from Days 1 and 2, and followers may
experience a more relaxed time ahead.

At this stage, followers should have already lost 2-4 lbs. of body mass.
GM Diet Day 3 Breakfast
Breakfast in Day 3 may start light with an apple, but those who are looking for heavier meals
may consume melon. When consuming melons for breakfast, it is important to have them
supplemented with two glasses of water for better digestion.
GM Diet Day 3 Lunch
The diet regimen on Day 2 may be repeated on Day 3, but with more variety. Tomatoes may
be included in lettuce-cucumber salads, but still these should be dressed in olive oil or
vinaigrette.
GM Diet Day 3 Dinner
A serving of boiled vegetables would be ideal during Day 3 dinners, and they can be
followed up with fruit desserts like watermelon apple.
GM Diet Day 3 Midday Snacks and Beverages
A combination of tomatoes, fresh greens, and different fruits may be consumed all day.
Fresh juices such derived from berries, oranges and lemons would be ideal to those who are
not into drinking water, although these should be as well consumed in proportional amounts
to avoid bloating.
Vegetable juice like carrot and tomato juice may be served during evenings so as to satiate
the appetite for sweet snacks.
Sample GM Diet Day 3 Diet Plan

Preparing the Body for Day 4

The fourth day of the GM diet weight loss program is filled with surprises. Unlike the past
three days where you are only allowed to consume fruits and vegetables, Day 4 offers three
unlikely meals: bananas, milk and soup. For our full coverage of the GM Diet plan so far,
read day 1, day 2 and day 3 before you continue with this article.
Day 4 can be quite boring at first glance as these are the only meals allowed for
consumption but remember that by now your body has already adjusted to the big change in
diet and is slowly getting used to the new dietary content.
By Day 4 the body has already garnered sufficient amounts of sweets from fruits, and at the
same time fiber from vegetables. Since it already has a sustained appetite, it would no
longer be responsive to the taste of bananas. Persons who have reached Day 4 would rely
more on liquids, and they get their energy from milk shakes and soup.
Preparing for Day 4 is the easiest. Since the day offers only the said three meals, followers
might just as well make themselves busy with various physical activities. They already have
packed energy for the day, and they might just as well be productive by working out, or
engaging in different leisure events.
Most people feel different by day 4. By this stage, a livelier attitude towards life is what most
people feel. By Day 4 followers of the diet have already gone through natural detoxifying
processes, and they are found to be more cheerful and enthusiastic when it comes to
performing physical activities.
GM Diet Day 4 Breakfast
The best way to start Day 4 is by consuming a banana paired with a glass of warm milk.
Some followers prefer a bowl of sliced bananas on milk like those in breakfast cereals, only
without the cereal content.
Skim milk should be used all day in this stage; full milk proves to be heavy on the stomach
and filled with unnecessary nutrients that are not beneficial to the weight loss regimen.
GM Diet Day 4 Lunch
Lunch served in Day 4 consists of a bowl of vegetable soup. Most soup bowls consist of
various vegetable produce flavored with herbs and spices. Best vegetable soups that can be
served during lunch include tomato soup and cabbage stew, as they are packed with natural
flavors that the taste buds would savor even as the day ends.
GM Diet Day 4 Dinner
Dinner in Day 4 may consist of a serving of vegetable soup and banana shake. This can be
quite heavy to handle later at night, so followers may forego the shake and focus on the
soup, as this alone can keep them full until the next morning.
GM Diet Day 4 Midday Snacks and Beverages
In Day 4, the only recommended snacks would be bananas and milk, which can be served in
cold banana shakes. These snacks prove to be essential as they taste naturally delightful
and at the same time are a popular drink even in conventional beverages.

Preparing yourself for Day 5 of GM Diet

Continuing on with our series on GM Diet. You can find day 1, day 2, day 3, day 4 here. On
the fifth day of the GM diet weight loss routine, followers of the diet are now allowed to eat
beef matched with tomatoes. On this day the bodys protein requirements are addressed, but
not to the extent that they will be followed up with fat. Beef is used in this case as it is rich
source of protein and fiber, and it does not have to be consumed in large amounts just to
fulfill the cravings of ones appetite.
When on Day 4 followers of the GM diet are allowed to consume bananas, milk and soup, on
Day 5 they will be subject to only beef and tomatoes. They loss of appetite will continue to
be felt on this day, and it is no longer a surprise for them to eat only sufficient portions of
been and not gore over it like before.
Due to the lack of appetite for most foods, it is important to have just small servings of beef
during meals. Large servings may only make the appetite worse, and this may as well

continue for the next few days. It is thus best to serve the beef with good amounts of
tomatoes so that the taste buds will be brought back to life.
GM Diet Day 5 Breakfast
Breakfast may start with braised beef and soup. This will keep the stomach heavy and full for
most of the day. The soup provides energy, while the meat becomes a source of protein, iron
and fiber. It can be a bit boring to eat beef but it may be paired with a sliced tomato.
GM Diet Day 5 Lunch
A hamburger patty may be consumed during lunch time together with tomatoes. The
hamburger may be baked or fried but not in too much fat, as it already contains its own fat
material. Since the body will be producing extra uric acid, it is likewise recommended to drink
extra glasses of water to flush the urine out naturally.
GM Diet Day 5 Dinner
Another hamburger may be eaten by dinner, although health experts recommend beef soup
and tomatoes so that the body would feel more energized. The soup also supplements the
water lost during the day.
GM Diet Day 5 Midday Snacks and Beverages
During Day 5, the only beverage allowed to be consumed is water, and not juice. It is
because the body has already been given doses of juice for the past three days, and water
helps a lot in flushing out the excesses for Day 5. Drink up to 14 glasses of water on this day
so that the body system will be detoxified and get rid of unnecessary nutrients provided by
the meat.

Preparing for Day 6 of the GM Diet

If you have been following the 7 day GM Diet then take heart in the fact that you are almost
done with the diet. You can read about the previous 5 days here Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day
4 and finally Day 5.
On Day 6 of the GM diet, foods served will not only include beef but a wide variety of
vegetables as well. This is also considered a feast day or a cheat day for GM diet followers
as they can eat all the beef and vegetables they want. It is also great to eat on this day as
the body is slowly gaining back its appetite but in a rather fructose craving mode, thus it
would yearn for fresh greens.
On this day there would already be changes on how the way one looks as compared to the
past days. Followers of the diet are expected to have lost as much as 10 lbs. from the past
few days of dieting. Because of the previous fruit-vegetable consumption a different glow in
the skin can also be seen.
On day 6 the body is already in a continuous process of losing the extra fat through
increased metabolic processes. Thus there will be more need for beef for protein and muscle
development, and fiber from vegetables to keep the body energized during the day. Those
who are currently in Day 6 should take advantage of the moment and pursue lively activities,
as this is where they can test the effects the diet has made to their immune system.

GM Diet Day 6 Breakfast

Breakfast on Day 6 may be started off with a bowl of mixed vegetables. These vegetables
may be sauteed or stewed, so that they would have a more tender bite and taste. Having a
bowl of vegetable soup with beef cutlets is likewise recommended, as this would keep the
stomach satiated throughout the rest of the day.
GM Diet Day 6 Lunch
During lunchtime, any form of mixed vegetables and beef may be eaten. Asian-style cooking
is the best in this mealtime, as dishes under this cuisine consist mainly of beef and
vegetables. A bowl of beef and broccoli may sound ideal for Western diet followers, but as
much as possible do not include potatoes or bread.
GM Diet Day 6 Dinner
Dinner may be served with vegetable soup and a hamburger, especially when the follower
has gone through a long and tiring day. The soup will light up the senses and replenish the
lost energy, while the beef content brings back the protein, iron and fiber lost.
GM Diet Day 6 Midday Snacks and Beverages
Beef and vegetables may continue to be eaten during snacks, although it is recommended
to munch on the greens during mid-mornings and beef during afternoons. This is because
the appetite has to be contained at normal levels, so as the appetite would not crave for
other types of food.
Water is still the best beverage on Day 6. Water keeps the lost sweat replenished and the
senses rejuvenated. Coconut water may be taken during afternoons, but this may create
bloating and loss of appetite by dinner.
GM Diet Day 6 Recipes
Beef and Vegetable Kebab
Ingredients:

1 broccoli

1 red tomato

1 yellow bell pepper

6 beef cubes

1 onion

Procedure:
Cut all the vegetables into quarters and skew them on barbecue sticks together with 2-3 beef
cubes per stick. Baste with butter and season with salt and pepper then grill on open fire
until beef is tender. Makes 3 servings.

significant weight loss and additionally will be feeling and looking great not to mention more
active. For those looking to start the GM Diet, here is the detailed diet plan sorted by day
Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4, Day 5 and Day 6.
On the last day of the GM diet weight loss management plan, food servings vary. While no
beef or other types of meat may be consumed, followers of the GM Diet are now allowed to
eat starch in the form of brown rice. At the same time, the diet goes back to fruit and
vegetables, which can be easier to eat as compared to Days 1 to 3.
By Day 7, significant changes can now be found in your body. A slimmer appearance is now
seen and felt while a more positive outlook is observed thanks to the continuous cleansing
methods of the diet taking place inside the body. Regular sleeping habits may as well be
noticed as the diet schedule gets the body tired by the end of the day and energized the next
morning.
Preparing for Day 7 of GM Diet
When preparing for Day 7, it is important to fresh fruits stacked. Fruits will be consumed at
all times of the day, from breakfast to snacks and dinner. Vegetables may be boiled or
stewed and paired with brown rice.
There are some individuals who tend to avoid brown rice servings as brown rice does not
appeal to their taste buds but it is important to have a cup or two in order to keep the energy
and fiber contents levels high.
GM Diet Day 7 Breakfast
A bowl of brown rice may be served during breakfast. It is best to consume brown rice in the
morning as it would provide all the energy and carbohydrate requirements for the rest of the
day. To those who want to save the rice for lunch, they may eat a slice of papaya or melon
followed by 1-2 glasses of water.
GM Diet Day 7 Lunch
During lunchtime, a bowl of brown rice may be matched with cooked vegetables such as
cabbage, broccoli and asparagus. This can be a boring meal so it has to be followed up with
a slice of mango or watermelon to keep the appetite satisfied.
GM Diet Day 7 Dinner
Day 7 ends with yet another bowl of greens and brown rice. However, most followers prefer
to only have vegetables as they dont want to feel bloated at night. Brown rice can be heavy
for dinner, so as much as possible increased fluid intake should be observed.
GM Diet Day 7 Midday Snacks and Beverages
Midday snacks should consist of fruits, mainly berries. Raisins prove to be a great snack
especially during mornings, while strawberries (without cream) may be ideal for afternoons
and after-dinners. Water should be consumed at 10-12 glasses, but at the same time fruit
juice can be taken during midday snacks.
