I am doing it and I am kind of surprised. I never thought I will be doing such a crash course for weight loss but then there are couple of reasons that I am pursuing it.
- I will be happy if I could loose few pounds
- I will be able to assess self control – avoiding an urge of tea or munching something
- I will drink lots of water which I usually don’t
- I will know on my own if this process works or not
- If not weight loss, my body will definitely get detoxified
- I will be exciting about something for 7 days
- I will get to eat bananas on day 4th – I haven’t eaten banana for over a year and half considering it is very high calorie
Bottom line is that I think there is no harm in doing a week experiment with my diet.
I will ensure to:
- Drink at least 10 glasses of water everyday.
- Brisk walk for at least 30 minutes (target is to loose 300-400 calories)

Let’s now get into each day and find our what I did and how I felt.
GM Diet Day 1: (July 27 2012)
Today, is my first day of GM Diet. I was very excited yesterday about this idea and I am very much looking forward to it.
Today is all fruits day. Started my day with 2 glasses of water.
Breakfast: Ate a bowl of papaya.
I felt okay after the breakfast. I feel puckish after drinking water in morning time. But this time I am determined that I will do it for whatever it takes.
11 am Snack: I ate one pear.
I missed a team lunch outing to stay on this diet.
I went to gym at 12:30 pm. Worked out on treadmill and lost 300 calories.
Lunch: I took a bowl of watermelon and another bowl of papaya.
Dinner: I was feeling surprisingly stuffed and didn’t eat anything for dinner.
I drank 8 glasses of water on my first day and that’s a big big achievement for me. My mother made a joke that I have drank water for many years in one day 😛
I felt a craving for something salty. Kept dreaming of razma, chana etc. whole day. My FIL made a suggestion to defer the diet for a day and honestly I was thinking why I chose this diet plan at all. But then I made a firm decision of not to waste my today’s effort of depriving myself from tea & tasty food 🙂
Now I am all excited to eat Baked Potatoes tomorrow morning.

Day 8 (Aug 3 2012)
Checked my weight and I lost 4 kgs. 🙂
Take away from this diet plan are – reduced belly, a habit of drinking water & eating fruits, way too less cravings. Now I am more conscious about what I eat.
I will try to maintain this weight loss by conscious decisions in my meals.
