Common GM Diet Questions, FAQ’s & Tips
1) Can I have tea or coffee?
Herbal teas are fine. The only sweetener allowed is stevia. I will never recommend coffee, however if you do have it you can only have stevia in it.
2) What days can we eat the Wonder Soup?
You can eat the Wonder Soup on any of the 7 days when you are hungry. Never go hungry on this diet. Folks tend to have better results when they eat the soup.
3) Can I drink alcohol?
No alcohol during this plan! There are no redeeming health values to alcohol.
4) Can I eat at places like Subway or eat processed meats/foods?
No, never actually. Subway foods like most processed foods are full of toxic chemicals like dough conditioners in the bread, sulfites, msg, nitrates and phosphates in the meats, not to mention sugar and too much processed salt in the dressings. Run away from foods like this. The point of the GM Diet is to cut all processed foods.
5) How many bananas can we eat on day 4?
If you have read that 8 bananas are allowed, you are not following our plan but another plan. We do not help with other plans. This is the original GM Diet here. The answer is 4 regular size bananas, or of the 6 tiny bananas.
6) On day 4, can I have buttermilk or yogurt in stead of milk?
Yes, yogurt or buttermilk is a fine replacement as long as there is no sugar in the yogurt.
7) Can we have chapati, wheat, cereal, bread, etc?
No, this is a gluten free diet. Wheat is so bad for you. It has been genetically modified and over processed. It causes weight gain and other health issues. If you eat lots of wheat, you will likely not maintain your weight loss after the diet.
8) Can I have honey – lemon water in the morning?
No, you cannot have honey in your water. There is nothing healthy about this at all; you are essentially just drinking sugar water. You can have as much lemon in your water as you like though.
9) I am a vegetarian, what do I do instead of meat?
We have laid out two plans for vegetarians. Here are the links. Keep in mind whenever you replace meat, you need to make sure you have a little good fat in that dish. Example would be: olive oil, coconut oil, butter or ghee. Also if you have curd as a meat replacement, it will already contain some good fat.

10) Can I have salt, pepper, or spices?
Yes, you can have a normal amount of salt. Never over do it. However since you are drinking extra water on this plan, salt is very important. Even adding a dash in your water can be important if you are using the unprocessed form of salt. Sea salt or unprocessed salt is always the best option for salt. Pepper, herbs and spices are allowed. Try and enjoy your food.
11) Will I gain the weight back after the GM Diet?
Most diets are going to fail if you plan on returning back to an unhealthy lifestyle after the diet. Yes, you will likely gain your weight back if you go back to a poor eating plan. If you want to keep your weight off you must make a serious lifestyle change. Many people have underlying health issues such as thyroid problems, cortisol issues and so on. These health issues can hamper weight loss and cause weight gain. In order to try and maintain a healthy weight and lose more weight you must eat healthy!
12) Can I have dried fruits or nuts?
No, you cannot have dried fruits or nuts on this plan. Afterwards you can enjoy them in small quantities but you do have to limit these as they are very concentrated sources of food.
13) What do I eat after the GM diet?
This is a loaded question really. Here is what we have found by study and experience. Whether you are a meat eater, vegetarian or vegan, each meal must be balanced.
Eat 3 meals a day. Do not eat them all at once, spread them out. Each meal should have a protein, a good carb and plenty of vegetables. You can also have 2 to 3 servings of fruit a day. We never recommend wheat or bread. We prefer gluten free and even grain free. Whole foods are always best. Cut out processed foods completely if at all possible.
Good carbs/starches are white potatoes, sweet potatoes, yams, squashes, white rice, taro root, plantains and celery root.
Also do not go fat free. You need good fat like animal fats found in good grass fed meats, ghee, olive oil and especially coconut oil.
14) Can I do the GM Diet continuously?
No, this is meant to be a weight loss kick starter. The GM Diet should not be a lifestyle. You can however do the diet again but you must wait at least two weeks, but preferably one month. In between that time eat healthy. Do not go back to your original way of dieting or eating.

Dear author, today was my 1st day of the diet. No headache, mentally balanced. But my concern is that I had a cup of the soup that’s mentioned on this site with a little bit of salt and pepper. Is that alright?
You can have the soup any day when you are hungry 🙂 That’s what it’s there for 🙂
So no worries.
Hi
I had taken a bowl of Yellow Daal with 1 chapati on end of Day-1. Is it ok ?? Also i cant leave first normal tea without sugar in morning ??? It will effect the plan ?
3rd Question – i m drinking 4-5 Green tea without sugar. Did it will help me to reduce weight. ?
tea is fine no sweetener, daal and bread yes 100% ruin the diet. green tea does not help you lose weight at all. please read the plan and follow, you cannot eat what you like.
I had 2 slices of bread with lettuce and tomato and cucumber for breakfast is it going to effect the diet. on first day i lost around 1.5 kg on first day
yes, wheat is a great way to ruin a diet and gain weight, sorry.
I had 2 slices of bread as I didn’t have any other option but all through the day today I had only veggies..
Not saying you did have a choice, it’s a personal choice actually, up to you what you want to eat, it’s just junk food and 100% off the plan, however keep going 🙂
Hi,
today i am on 6th day! lost around 2.8 kg .. i followed the plan strictly but i was expecting a loss of around 6-7 kgs but not happened.. what to do?
when do you weigh? what did you eat days 2 and 5
Day 2 morning I had 2 sclices of bread with veg and other all veg like lettuce and cucumber, am throughout the dayi had only cucumber and lettuce and veg as recommended.
Day 5 I had chicken grilled in charcoal without oil and tomatoes 2 times a day for the 3rd meal I had chicken with tomato soup of packet, I think I did wrong?
This is not the plan at all that is the reason for your issues. Sorry…. I cannot help if you do not follow the plan. Trust me, the bread finally caught up to you and 100% hindered the plan. Also my assumption is you have not followed the plan properly on any day, You cannot have tomato soup packets day 5. Sorry….
I have seen good drop in weight even after eating bread on second day for breakfast. Almost lost 2 kg in first 2 days
But from 3rd to 6th day only lost 1 kg
The brad finally got ya’, you have to actually follow the plan here for effective weight loss, bread is a great way to gain weight.
I weigh myself early in the morning as soon as I wake up and freshen up
Yes u r right .. I will repeat again after 14 days and try to do perfectly it was truely a good experience thanks a lot for ur help and also today day 7 I lost 3.5kg
hi,
i have lost total of 4 kgs in 7 days. sir, please reveiw my next plan and update me if any changes required.
bf- 2-3 eggs with fruits
lunch- rice (boiled one which is not basmati) with vegetables or fish
midmorning a fruit like apple
evening – a fruit
dinner – soup with vegetable salad.
will this diet help me with reducing further weight in coming days or months.
please add if i need to do any changes.
also if i have some sweets or oily food like chicken biryani ocasionally will it effect? I am running to burn calories. is this the way we can maintain weight?
please reply
You mean this will be your daily lifestyle? too much fruit, not enough veg, not enough protein, you need good fats not bad oily fats. Running can be OK I assume you are resting though and not dong this every day. You are eating fruit alone which means you are eating pure sugar basically with no balance of good fat or protein. look at the top 2 posts here for some potential helps http://gmdietforums.com/forums/gm-diet-after-day-7.6/
hey
Is there any substitute for tomatoes on day 5? i cannot have them in raw or cooked form.
um, technically they are a fruit, however just pick another veg, not corn or peas though.
I have habbit to take butter milk daily should i take in GM diet plan
nope, follow as close as possible what we laid out.
hi,
1. can i swap milk with soy milk instead?
2. and can i skip the GM soup and just take bananas and soy milk on 4th day
3. is corn fine for a vegetable on 2nd day? because there are limited types of veges i can eat
1) Yes
2) no swapping for the soup. That’s not how it works.
3) not really, you can have just a little corn. Try something else. 🙂
Hi,
My sister just completed this deit yesterday but just 1kg is reduced. let us know what to do. cant see much diffrence
What was her diet like? Any cheats? Was she eating according to our plan? How many bananas on day 4?
On all the websites that talk about the GM diet, they all said 8-12 bananas.
And I ate 8, now seeing that you said 4 bananas, I am extremely worried. I have lost 5 kilos however. I am on day 6
Great for you, those are not the original plans and I do not help with those. 8 bananas, that’s a shocking amount. Most people however are not as fortunate as you and gain weight. Actually most people that come here and have followed those plans struggle. Notice that they have ZERO support for people. They don;t care, they just threw up a plan. HUH…
I ate dark chocolate while im dieting..! It wll ruin my diet or not?

My father is a diabetic and is taking medication for the same. He also takes medication for high blood pressure He is 50 year old. Can he follow this diet plan?
You really have to ask a doctor, sorry. Or look at what’s here and decide if it fits how he can eat. On the forum someone with diabetes did amazing, but that can vary.
CAN WE HAVE SWEET POTATO OR TAPIOCA INSTEAD OF POTATO FOR BREAKFAST ON DAY 2
yes, best to go with sweet potato.
I am highly allergic to bananas. I’m mean hives, throat closing, cannot breathe allergic. Do you recommend any substitutions?
understandable, just pick another fruit.
Hi the 1 cup brown rice mentioned in diet is measurement before cooking or after cooking
Hello, before cooking….
Is okay to make a soup out of tomato sauce/paste on day 5? How many more tomatoes should I eat on that day? And is it okay to eat the tomatoes first before the beef? Thanks! Ill be using striploin for my beef
yes it is fine assuming the sauces don’t contain sugar, many do. no more needed if you do the soups. no, eat the tomatoes with the beef or within 15 minutes of eating the beef.
I remember losing a whole lot of weight during my first attempt ( ate quite a lot on day 7 thinking that meats are allowed. ) as compared to my 2nd try. This is my 3rd try for this diet. But Ive only lost less than 1kg and Im on my 4th day 🙁 I didnt do the soup though
the soup seems to help, when was the last time you did it, how many days/weeks ago.
Hi can you be breastfeeding while doing this
Well the foods are whole and natural, but we cannot offer medical advice. look over the diet and see if it fits your needs.
hi author, got a question please reply soon lol, i ate a potato on day 3 accidentally, didnt read it right i only thought banana was the one not allowed, can i still proceed with the diet or do i have to go back to day 1?
accidents happen 🙂
keep going, just don’t go over 4 bananas 🙂
Dear Author,
Today is my second day. I had a bowl of broccoli (steamed) in breakfast and one raw carrot in afternoon snacks. I can’t eat steamed veggies more. So I made soup of vegetables(carrot,broclli,potato, small amount of beetroot). Can I have soup of these veggies instead of eating raw or cooked vegetables.
you cannot have potato unless it’s breakfast day 2. Yes on the rest have a soup, not too many carrots.
Hey hi,
I want to know after how many months of delivery we can follow the diet..
that is up to a doctor, look at the menu and see does it meet the dietary requirements for your after delivery plan. Some do.
Hey ya. Am successfully following this diet nw in the fourth day.. I am a vegan and hence can i substitute beef wit pulses lik sprouts. And i am not having the mid day and evening parts is that fine???
no, it’s not OK to eat less, actually it can work against you now and after the plan. This plan is not at all about eating less. However some skip a snack here and there and yes that is OK if they are not hungry. vegan? tough, you need a good protein source to replace beef, legumes, etc.
Can I saute my veggies on day 2 with a tiny bit of olive oil ?
sure, just a bit though.
Can use dates in fruits?
sorry, no, you must really be careful how much dried fruits and nuts you eat. Dates are just pure sugar. After the diet just don’t over consume would be my suggestion.
Can I smoke atleast 1 cigarette a day during gm diet??
personal choice, up to you 🙂
Can I take vitamin supplement with this diet
sure, no prob… meaning if you are already taking or have been instructed to.
can i take gm wonder soup on day 2?
yes, any day you need extra food/are hungry
Can i take 1 glass juice of sweet lemon?
what is sweet lemon? you can have lemon water, but no sugar drinks. Terrible.
sweet lemon is mausami.
Thanks 🙂
yes it’s OK, just not too much
hi, can i have milk shake (skim milk + fruit without sugar) rather than having whole fruits.
No, you can have milk on day 4, that’s it. On that day you can blend the banana in it.
I had made request for some clarification. I received message on facebook that reply is given but could not find where the reply is given. please let me know.
hello, can i have 1 bowl sprout in dinner?
sprouts can be added to your veg.
Hello Sir, today is my 4th day i took samosa. so It cause any Prob?
oh yah, introduce a food like that to any diet and there will likely be repercussions. hang in there though 🙂
Keep plowing forward.
can i have atleast 5 cigarettes a day on gm diet
I could never recommend 1, so do at your own risk. Cigarettes do ruin your bodies ability overtime to maintain a normal weight.
Hey I lost 3.5 kg but my biggest worry is to maintain it.
It’s all about a lifestyle change afterwards, that’s true for any diet. We give some sample plans here. http://gmdietforums.com/forums/gm-diet-after-day-7.6/
Can we get soup from panera or canned soup from trader joes or deli soup from sprouts?
not from panera, bad idea, so full of fillers and junk. Depends on what’s in the soup from trader joes or sprouts? Is it just veg broth, veg, etc? It’s not likely. The emphasis on this diet is pure, nutrient dense foods, whether or not it’s from a more natural store, still canned and not great.
Dear author, i want to ask about the wonder soup. Somewhere it is given we should take wonder soup only after 3rd day. N somewhere its given we can take it on any of 7 days. Please suggest is it good to take wonder soup on 1st 2nd and 3rd day as well.
have wonder soup any of the 7 days you need extra food
Can i blend it after cooking.. i dont like eating vege’s in soup.
sure thing 🙂
Mushrooms are allowed in vegetables.
just a few to season a dish, yes…
I have thyroid…… any special things to keep in mind. I am doing it for first time.
I do as well, mine is healing though and my weight came off, you need a perfect balanced plan, try the top 2 posts here. 2 keys, 100% cut sugar and all gluten! http://gmdietforums.com/forums/gm-diet-after-day-7.6/
Mango s allowed in day 1.
try to go no more than 1, variety better
4 bananas is very less in one day … i will become hungry …today is my first day of GM diet … its very hard for me to follow this diet but finger crossed .. and hope i will complete gm diet and at least loss 2 Kg
eat the soup if you need more food.
Hi,
I am a vegetarian and I see that in vegetarian GM diet we can eat brown rice on days 5, 6 and 7.
1. Are black beans allowed with brown rice on any day?
2. Is home cooked tomato soup(with vegetable broth) allowed on day 4?
well, no, you can have wonder soup or a similar version, but not tomato soup.
here is the veg version: https://www.gmdietworks.com/general-motors-diet/gm-diet-vegetarian.html
black beans can replace beef, a little brown rice is fine with them not too much though.
Hi, tomorrow will be my 4th day. Wonder soup is really making me nautilus. Can you suggest a substitute instead?
some steamed veg or veggie broth…
Is it alright to eat some salad on days 4 5 6 and 7?
Not on day 4. What’s in the salad though?
Lettuce spinach, little vinegarette. Would it be ok?
well, not the vinaigrette likely, is it pure? does if have canola or veg oil (bad for you). A dash of olive oil and some vinegar and spices will be ok though. keep in mind it’s these little things that get you in the end as well with weight.
So can you let me know if any of the following is not ok. Lettuce, spinach, cucumber olive oil, salt and pepper.
If it is a problem at any level, I will avoid it. Please let me know
those sounds great. olive oil is a good fat, just be careful with it on the program, there is a balance to the system. I eat loads of it, love it. but if I were on the diet I would just follow the plan here and be careful.
Hi Kevin,
I am a big fan of GM Diet. I have lost 17 kgs with the help of GM Diet (5 times) + work out in 1 year. Today is my 4th day of 6th GM Diet. The biggest problem I face is constipation & water retention even after drinking more then 5 Lt of water every day. Pls suggest, what should I do ?
Thanks & Ragards,
Nidhi
take a light organic fiber supplement, but just a tiny bit a few times a day with your water. Increase soup, veg has fiber. don;t over drink water either, it can really mess with your kidneys. Try some herbal tea with no sweetener or coconut water as well to replace minerals. etc. Also add lemon sometimes to your water if you can.
can i have ranch while eating…what r the replacements for cucumber asparagus
no, unless it’s homemade, pure and organic, that stuff is full of sugar and bad oils. So if you want to gain weight then yes eat it.
You can just pick a couple of other vegetables, no corn or peas right now.
What is the limit of beef on day 5 and 6? Can you have veg juice on this diet any day?
Thx
Sure you could have some veg juice, no more than 1 carrot though, cucumbers, greens and so on should be the majority of it. If you are just drinking carrot juice, like drinking a glass of sugar water so to speak.
Beef, just do 3.5 to 4.5 oz per serving.
Can I go to the gym and do my workout??
Sure as you feel you can, just try not to overdo it the first couple of days.
Is the soup suggested manditory ? Is this help in loosing weight ?
It does seem to help, but no you do not have to have it.
Hi I am in the 3rd day of gm diet I lost 2 kgs on the first day ..well my question is on day 5 can I hv fish boiled with onion n 6 tomato s with spices? If so the quality of fish I can hv in kgs?
yes. about .14 kg or 4 to 5 ounces
Can I replace the below:
1) Rice →Oats
2) Beef → Chickpeas
3) Soup → Snacks such as cucumbers and carrots
1) no, white rice is a simple starch, oats are not at all the same.
2) chickpeas, if you are vegetarian then yes it will have to do, be sure it has a little good fat.
3) sure I suppose, not really the point of the soup though.
10-12 glasses = how many liters ??
Can you please mention them in Liters ??
2 or so.
on day 5 ,can I eat egg instead of beef for breakfast.?
yes, the whole egg, 2 or 3…
hi, On day 2 can have three smail potatoes through out the day.
no, sorry, eat at breakfast…
Day 1 substitute for melon
any other fruit other than bananas, whatever is local is good.
I had corn and potato for lunch on 2nd day.
Had 3 spoons of white rice in the morning on 3rd day.
Shall i continue the diet or drop out?
Suppose i continue, shall i have white rice instead of brown rice?
I would,brown rice has loads of anti nutrients, white rice, like an organic basmati is a simple starch easier on the body.
Shall i take 1 cup of basmathi rice instead of brown rice.
perfect, yes 🙂
What if I am lactose intolerant, can I substitute the milk on day 4 for unsweetened almond milk?
perfect choice, yes. you can you can add a little stevia if you need.
Can i take just boiled veggies instead of soup on day 4?
sure
Can you eat chia seeds on any day of the plan?
chia is fine, but on this plan no nuts or seeds for 7 days…
Hi. Now im on day 2. Can i eat cabbage soup with TOMATO at dinner today and whenever i feel hungry?? Plz reply soon. Thks 🙂
whenever you feel hungry you can have it.
For Day 1 , can I take unlimited quantities of fruits? Similarly for Day 2 can I take unlimited veggies? Is Brinjal an accepted vegetable for Day 2 and 3?
well, never over do 1 type of fruit. unlimited, yes but don’t over fill. Brinjal is fine, nut only 1… Day 2, unlimited veg is fine, but not on corn – peas or carrots.
Hi
Can I add chilli to the soup?
meaning fresh chili or chili powder? yes.
Can I season boiled veggies with little canola???
no, canola is so bad. you have to go with pure natural foods/oils. Canola is bleached and over processed. RUN…. 🙂
Hello,I am on my day 2 and with my veg salad , i had 2 slices of brown bread. Would that effect the diet 🙁
Oh yes it will, worst thing for weight gain is wheat/gluten and sugar.
Can I have poha instead of rice?
that should be fine
my first attempt and Im on my 6th day now—- lose 2.5kgs..but there’s a bit problem while im on this diet..
i acquired some allergies(HIVES on my feet)..i don’t know if it’s because of this diet or the foods/fruits that im eating..as far as i know i don’t have any allergies to any fruits or vegies..has anyone experienced same too?
Never heard of that one? may want to check with a doc. are you eating anything you have not before or have had in a long time?
can i eat vegetables like eggplant and corn?? and on the first 3 days are we allowed to take soups or fruit juices? can i use the chicken recepies instead of the beef?
no corn! it’s nutrient dead and not good for you.
you can have the wonder soup every day.
chicken yes is fine.
No juice unless that day says you can have a little for a snack. please read each day carefully.
and can i have brown bread from day 2 and can dark chocolate bits be added as part of the diet in tiniest portions???
NO, this is gluten free. If you want to gain weight then eat bread and chocolate. 🙂
I don’t think most get how bad sugar and gluten are for you. They will hinder weight-loss more than just about any 2 things out there. If you continue to eat these afterwards like this, you will gain weight.
Hi,
on day 5 and 6 u suggested to take Brown Rice. what to take along with brown rice. also i stay in hostel, so
1. i can only get normal white rice. is that ok ?
2. what to take along with white rice? i mean what curry or buttermilk along with a bowl of rice ?
plz suggest.
white is actually better, brown rice has too many anti-nutrients.
you need some good fat when replacing beef, so curry is fine or a little butter milk yes 🙂
I love the gm diet ,I feel really energetic .
The only problem I have is that I really don’t like the soup!
Would it be possible to change it to a broccoli or tomatoe soup?
Assuming you mean veg only, no cheese, cream, etc yes you can 🙂
is it ok to add salt and pepper normally in soups and while having vegetables on days 2 and 3 can v use salt pepper and lemon juice?
you sure can, herbs, spices, have at it 😉
can we take green tea during this period?
a couple of cups a day, no sweetener unless it’s stevia.
can we make wonder soup without celery leaves, please suggest substitute?
yes, pick a good local veg, you will be fine 🙂
can we eat berries like strawberries, blue and black berries ? can we eat mushroom as a veggie on 2nd day? is it ok to drink fresh orange juice?
a few mushrooms are OK. Berries are fine when we say eat fruit yes. We mention juice on some days as a snack. I would not more than 6 oz. though.
I am very much overweight and want to reduce 30 kg weight. So can I repeat this diet plan every week along with the exercise.
You need to wait a minimum of 2 weeks between each program, for those 2 week,s the top 2 posts are good programs to help you still lose. to me and what is best wait a month. You may want to ask a doc if you are unsure http://gmdietforums.com/forums/gm-diet-after-day-7.6/
My first question is can I drink one mug of coffee in the morning during the diet using no milk or sugar ?
My second question is I can’t find the gm wonder soup recipe on your website can you please send me the link?
you can if you like, you can sweeten with stevia only.
https://www.gmdietworks.com/recipes/vegetarian-recipes/gm-diet-wonder-soup-recipe.html
Hi,
I am on the second day,,So far its fine. But question is shall we add black olive and lemon with salads on second day???
no olives to after the diet. Other peppers, spices and herbs are great to have.
can i have sprouts in mid mng
yes, sure can
and can i drink green tea and lemon water in mng
yes, stevia to sweeten only if you need it sweet.
Hi..
Is there any substitute for tomato in fifth day( how we can eat tomato and beaf alone!)
Shall we take white rice instead of brown??
white is better anyway so yes. Not sure what that means eat tomato only? Add some peppers, spices, herbs, make a soup, it’s easy and tasty actually.
You can have another veg if you like.
can i substitute brown rice with daaliya(wheat)
OH NO, not at all the same, you can go white rice or quinoa. You cannot have gluten on this program, talk about gaining weight, wheat will do it.
k cn i substitute soup with fruits
No, not at all the same, huge mistake. Keep in ind fruit is full of fructose sugar. beware eating too much on a daily basis.
and thanks i loose 2 kgs just in 4 days
nice….
Can I substitute sun dried tomatoes for raw tomotoes?
yes
One more question. Can I add a packet of crystal light peach green tea to my water?
If you want to gain weight. Trust me, your body is not fooled by the fake toxic sugars in that stuff. The point of the GM Diet if you notice is all 100% natural, real foods.
Hi,
For how many times can we have the wonder soup in a day.Can wonder soup be had before going to bed at night.
as often as you need extra food. Try and never eat before bed, your last meal should be at least 2 hours prior to bed time. It’s a huge weight gainer thing to do for those wanting to gain weight and it can slowly cause health issues eating right before you sleep.
1.Hi, I am 64 kgs and want to be 50kgs how many weeks should I be following this diet and what should I be eating later to main my weight.
2.I am married and planning for kids next year and I am a asthamatic pateint as well, will this diet effect any way?
1) If you need advice for your asthma, be sure to ask you doc. However I will say likely how you eat now is affecting it as a guess. Wheat, gluten, sugar, etc are all PRO inflammatory foods. The foods here are just meat and veg, I would test for dairy sensitivities if I were you, it can cause mucus issues and inflammation in many people. I would not do this diet more than every 2 weeks. The top 2 plans here are good to follow after or in between. http://gmdietforums.com/forums/gm-diet-after-day-7.6/
2) Once again you need to ask a doc. You can ask yourself why would these foods hurt you.
Hi Author,
Am on the 1st day of my Diet plan.
1.I need to reduce total weight of 35 kg so how many months will it take if I fallow this diet.I have tried many but it was all failure.I hope this will work for my success.
2.How long should the soup be in flame if I cook it in pan.I mean the total time.
4.on the day 5,6 and 7 How many grams of chicken I can consume.
5.Can i add little olive oil, 6 tomatoes, chicken and spices together and eat on day5
6.During snack can i take a cup of green tea.
1) Diet will likey fail, for example did everyone know that low carb diet, the success rate is 4.6 percent. WOW. I posted an easy balanced plan in the forum in the After 7 Days section, top 2 posts that can help after this while you wait to do another round.
2) Soup, varies by heat, maybe 15 minutes once boiling.
3) eat 4 to 5 ounces or so per meal.
4) yes just a little.
5) yes no sugar!
Thanks for your reply
i am 63kg i want toreduce 8kg…i have tried gm diet 2times but not able to complete even one day….i am getting heavy headach at the end of first day…so iam not able to continue….what i need 2 to do
Well, when you cut wheat, processed foods, and sugar your body will not be happy that’s for sure. You could add green tea to help with stevia or no sweetener at all. Also make sure you eat the soup.
I ate veggies instead of fruits 1st day. will it make any difference to diet or in losing weight?Pls advise
Yes, I think you will be OK, try and be careful to follow it properly 🙂
Kindly suggest a substitute for beef. I don’t eat beef
Can I have chicken or egg?
Yes you can, 3 whole eggs if you do eggs each meal.

Day 5 and 6 where is the protein? Why not have it all 3 meals and on day 6 you can even have a snack of it. Less is not better. If you eat meat why rice? If you do eat rice it needs good fat like ghee or olive oil.
What should i change pls tell me i can eat chicken so il remove rice ?
yes it’s meat only, NO rice. rice is there only for folks not eating meat. 🙂
So in day 5 all three meals is chicken with tomatoes and in day 6 also chicken and in day 7 brown rice ?
yes day 5 can be. day 6 yes and day 7 yes although white rice is great also.
Can I have the following for day5
Brkfst — 2 eggs n 1 tomato
lunch – Basmati rice 1 cup , spinach n paneer with 1 tomatoes
dinner – Tomato soup n soya chunks
midday snacks – Raw Tomato or Tomato soup / Egg
Please suggest
no egg snack day 5 but day 6 you can. I can never recommend soya chunks, sorry. Talk about throwing off your hormones and causing weight gain, beware. Rest looks fine 🙂
Thank you for the guidance….we will avoid soya.
Good, not trying to be harsh, with the studies and research now showing the harm soy can do, it’s best.
an i have a glass of milk everyday? i eel very weak because of my period…..if not what other substitute? what other veggies can b had? cauliflower, lady finger, ivy gourd(tendli), gourd(dudhi), carrots
no milk daily. you can have some coconut water or tea no sweetener unless it’s stevia.
not too much gourd, but those all sound fine.
Hi can we add avacado in the vegetable category. how much can you consume if yes…
Also how about egg whites for protein.. I dont like the yolk.
NO, avocado is not the same, it’s pure fat. They are great after this program but not now. Substitutions need to be similar. Potato is NOT a good veg substitute, it’s technically a tuber and pure starch. FYI.
No egg whites. They are vegetarian days for a reason. Plus unfortunately for you the yolk is where all the nutrients are, the white is just base protein. Eggs in the whole form and coming from good free range chickens are truly a super food.
On day 5 &6 can we hsve eggs and chicken both
yes, a little broth is fine with the eggs.
Please suggest can I have sprouts on day 2 and 3 along with my veggies? And can I add green peas to the soup recipe?
no to all they are legumes, carby and not meant for that day.
Thnx…but actually I wanted to know if it is ok to take whole eggs for breakfast n chicken for lunch and dinner??
yes it is
What can we substitute celery with in wonder soup….indian ingredient
pick a standard no carb veg that’s local. No corn, no peas, no winter squashes…
Can we have some popcorns on any day :p :p
no, sorry
On day 4 can we hv a combination of milk , curd n buttermilk ????
no curd, that would be a last resort, yes to milk and buttermilk though
Hi,
I have 3 queries:
on my second day of GM diet i had a bowl full of tomato soup…made of 3 tomatoes, and also i didnt drink enough water, though i ahve not weighed my self but will this affect the diet plan
On Day 3, can i have tomato soup for dinner, also i made GM diet soup using beans, carrots and onion, is it ok
On Day 4 can i have lassi with little bit of salt…if not what other than milk i can have
1) You should be just fine.
2) No beans are not OK at all! By adding the protein you are really throwing things off. carrots, a tiny amount OK. Seems like you made up your own soup, very bad idea.
3) assuming there is not sweetener in it, unless you want to use part of one of your bananas lassi is fine.
1-On day 5 if we r having eggs along with chicken n tomatoes(as I asked earlier)….what should b the quantity of chicken and how many eggs r permitted???
2- can we marinate chicken in ginger-garlic paste n then grill ????
1) you can have 1 or the other per meal. About 5 ounces of meat or 3 whole eggs. yes assuming the marinade does not have bad oils like canola, sunflower, etc and no MSG and other chemicals.
I have followed diet as per the suggestion but on day2 I had 2 pieces of dhokla.Will my diet work??
It could affect you a day or so, sorry. You can keep going though.
I am 191cm / 127kg, and I was wondering if the 4 bananas should be more due to my size?
nah, you will be OK. you can always have the soup if you need more food.
Can i have coleslaw n corn n bean salad in DAY 2 & 3 of GM Diet.
NO beans NO corn, sorry. Beans are not a veg they have protein and carbs, Not the same at all…
On day 5,it has been suggested to eat hamburger in lunch. can I substitute hamburger with any other thing?like brown bread? please mention the quantity also. pls reply soon
hamburger means ground beef. This is a gluten free, wheat free diet. Unless you want to gain weight don’t eat bread.
Can we have puffed rice? also for how much time wonder soup need to be cooked? can we have coconut water or lime juice without sugar on any day?
No puffed rice is terrible for you, processed, etc. Sorry. the soup cooks until the veg is tender to eat. yes you can, a glass will be fine each day.
Hi….m on day 5 Of gm diet…still now no problems at all…..but on day 5 I ate one charburger without cheese at HABIT BURGER GRILL . M feeling little heavy after dat. Have I eaten correctly as per diet?
Not good if it had bread, sorry about that. NO grains on this plan. Not to mention the junk found in most restaurant burgers, over salted, MSG possibly, etc.
Dear author….pls suggest me if there is any way for correction …if by mistake I have eaten something wrong …….I have gone wrong during the lunch time…..what I can do for rest of the day…..
Just hang in there and keep going. You don’t want to stop unless you have completely gone off track. Hang in there 🙂
so can I have coconut water on day 4 as well? n do I need to cut down milk as m taking that? M on day 3 so is it ok if I cut cantaloupe n papaya n will have some other fruit ?
yes you can have a glass. no need to cut the amount of milk. yes you can pick other fruits, just not bananas.
Hi . I am on day 6 of gm diet. My weight is 55 KGS. How much chicken is allowed on day 6? Can I combine chicken with brown rice?please reply soon. I have chicken and veggie soup in lunch and breakfast.
NO chicken and rice. Only chicken. 4 to 5 oz per serving.
Can I have boiled veg mashed n added some spices n lemon on day 4 instead of soup also on other days n days when boiled vegetables are to be taken.
yes you can 🙂
Hi.. can I have vegetables in the first day and fruits in the second day..
No wise to stray but you can try if you like.
Hi Author, thanks a lot for your replies. Please draw a chart for day 5,6,7 as it is not properly mention that in how much quantity brown rice to be taken. Like what should i eat in breakfast lunch dinner snack, I m vegetarian so pls plan according to that. Today is my 4th day so I need to prepare today for remaining days. pls don’t share links as they don’t give accurate answers. Plz
The site does give accurate info. have you not read all of the links well. every day gives a sample plan. At the bottom of the site I give an Indian and Vegetarian change menu. Sorry I cannot re-invent the wheel here. If you read the vegetarian version it says how much rice to eat each day. Please read each day and page carefully.
Hi Author,
Please guide for day 5,6 & 7
Day 5
Breakfast – 1/4 cup Chickpeas ( Boiled / Sprouted) with 2 tomatoes
Lunch – 1/4 cup Curd & 1 Cup brown rice cooked with spices, onions, tomatoes, ginger garlic
Dinner – 1 cup sprouted moong with tomatoes,onions, salt & lemon.
Day 6
Same as 5 instead of tomatoes mix veg like cabbage, tomatoes, bell peppers & Cucumber
Also curd if permitted
Day 7
Breakfast – 1 glass juice of Orange & Sweet Lime
snack – 1 apple
Lunch – 1 Cup brown rice cooked with spices, onions, tomatoes, ginger garlic
Snack – 1 Pomegranate
Dinner – 1 cup sprouted moong with tomatoes,onions, salt & lemon.
Day 5 dinner needs some good fat. You always do when replacing beef.
Day 6 OK, you can also have a balanced snack.
All else seems OK.
Can I take beef and chicken alternatively on day 5 and 6
you sure can…
Hi,
can i have bar be cue chicken plz tell me
no, that sauce is likely full of sugar and junk. These will be key steps in keeping the weight off, identifying sauces and foods like this that hide bad oils, sugar and more.
Hi
i am on day 5 and i ate 5 tomatoes, but i don’t eat beef.. what can i eat instead of beef, on day 5 and 6
And also can i have boiled white rice instead of brown rice.
Also day 7 says can have juices, so can i have any of juice.
white rice is actually better than brown. you need some good fat with it, since beef naturally has fat. Juices are fine when we say to have them, they need to be pure, no sugar.
hi… please lemme know the alternate thing for tomatoes?
just pick another veg, no corn or peas though
im 5 5 and I weigh 62 kg …
taken up gm today
I’m scared that I might lose more muscles than fat
I don’t think a few days on a cleansing diet (the first 4) cause loads of muscle weight. There is much more tot hat then what you are thinking. However if you fear it talk to a doc.
please suggest some alternatives for beef and brown rice for day 5,6 &7.brown rice is nt available in my town and I hate soya chunks as well..plz reply as soon as possible as I am in my 4th day of diet..thank you 🙂
white rice, qunioa, eggs, millet or any legume actually would be best. Remember meat has fat, you need to add fat to your replacement like ghee. Soya chunks are processed and bad for you, so it’s good you don’t like them.
hello author, thanks for your last reply.can u please clarify if I cn have white rice for lunch and 1-2eggs for evening snacks on day 5?
there are no snacks, just 3 meals. You can have 3 eggs per meal, or rice which then needs some good fat like ghee or olive oil.
Hi, I mixed tomatoes with my salad on day 2. Is it allowed because tomatoes are specifically mentioned for day 5.
Also what can I eat along with rice on day 5.
Thank You
sure it’s OK, just never eat too many of one thing in general. You are fine though.
I am on end of day 5 and I reduced 3kgs plus sufficient amount of energy. Its superb..Thx doc for a wonderful diet..Luv you
Good news 🙂
what can be the alternative of beef for vegetarians. I am on day 6
Thanks
legumes, rice or quinoa. Each need some good fat like ghee or olive oil. Also eggs if you eat those.
hello, what about green beans, zucchini for veggies? and fish on day 5?
for brown rice of breakfast on day 7, can i have it with kim milk ?
thank you.
yes those are great. fish is also fine. no milk day 7.
Hi , on day 1 I had boiled peanuts is it ok, can I hav custard Apple . Nd threptin biscuits while I m hungry
No peanuts are not at all OK. Neither are those bad for you biscuits, if you want to gain weight, then keep eating those biscuits. They are processed and essentially dead food. No you cannot have custard apple. This diet is about whole fresh foods.
Can u pls name a few things to eat on day 2. I got corn and peas n carrots n cucumbers. But it seems that all of those veggies are wrong. Tomorrow is my day 2.
Well we list several here. And yes carrots, peas and especially corn is all wrong. Sorry
What do you have locally? Zucchini, yellow squash, spinach, various greens, green beans?
Cucumber is great
I can get beets, green beans, sprouts. Are bell peppers ok? Oh ya, and egg plant roasted with onions n few herbs?
no beets, fine post program though. all the rest sounds great!
Beets not allowed? Your sample diet plan mentions beets
go for it
Thank you so much for your prompt responses. Really appreciate it.
Anytime 🙂
hi
im in day 4 today and have certain queries
1. i had half boiled corn for lunch and dinner on day 2. is that OK?
2. for day 5 along with tomato, can i have brown rice with low fat curd? if not what can i substitute ?
thanks
1) no it’s not. Keep going though. Corn is not a nutrient dense veg, Technically it’s nutrient dead for the most part, a big GMO food and it’s technically a grain.
2) yes, read more here https://www.gmdietworks.com/general-motors-diet/gm-diet-indian-version.html
hi
one more…
can brocoli and carrot be added in soup??
broccoli yes, carrot, maybe just 1 carrot for flavor.
Hi, thank you for your prompt responses.
I’d like ask for after the diet. Wath kind of breakfast, for example, can i have? Usually i have tea without sugar, whole bread and olive oil, some black olives and dried figs. Can i keep this breakfast for example?
Also i can have whole bread for lunch, tuna, pasta, rice… for dinner.
So i don’t know what should i keep after diet and what should i avoid.
thank you.
bad breakfast. break it down. Wheat, sorry you may not want to hear this, but it’s essentially junk food, empty carbs, etc. You basically have a pure carb breakfast and have some good fat. However since there is no balance, it will cause weight gain. No protein is bad news. Those good fats are fine, dried figs are not a great choice, basically they are concentrated sugar. Olive oil great, olives fine. Tea fine also no sugar unless it’s stevia.
Lunch, once again dead bread. Tuna is fine (beware high in mercury though). pasta and rice. Once again 100% carbs. Organic white rice is a good carb and a simple starch.
Sugar and gluten free are good starts to lose weight. Checkout this page and read the top post. or the next for what a balanced diet looks like. then get me know if you need help 🙂

thank you, i want just be sure, the carrot juice that i can have in day 6 on 10:00, it’s with orange jus no?
you cannot have juice on day 6, not at all. sorry.
the carrot jus, i had it with orange blossom water an cinnamon, is’it good?
not on day 6, like you mentioned in another post…
Can veggies and fruits be eaten as mid day snacks or evening snack on days 4,5,6,7??
NO, just the wonder soup. Day 6 has a snack, please read that day for specifics
How many days I have to leave between 1st week diet and next diet? And what I have eat in those between days?
at least 14 days….
Hi,
Can we have sprouts on day 2,3,5,6,7?
Also on day 5 & 6 we need to take either of these or all of these – Brown rice, Curd, Sprouts, Cottage cheese.
Yes in moderation, it should be just a little with other veg. Look at the bottom of the site and the Indian plan, it will give you a sample of what you can do.
Please clarify on this point.. can v havehome made low fat curd on 5, 6 and 7th day. Milk?
no milk? for curd days 5 and 6 only read here. https://www.gmdietworks.com/general-motors-diet/gm-diet-indian-version.html
I had 1 raw carrot on day 2, not allowed?
1 is just fine, never on this program over do carrot.
Dear Author,
Last month i started this diet and lost 7kg. I am able to maintain my weight but i cud do this only by eating very very little through out the day. Am facing Hair loss problem also.can u please suggest me what is Gluten free diet. please give some example of Gluten free food. Am from India our major food is rice and wheat.
First of all please never do that. 1) You are starving your body of nutrients, causing health issues, stressing out your adrenals and so on. Hence the hair loss, please you may need to find a functional health care person and check your thyroid and cortisol levels. You are also starving your body, hence once your body goes into a starvation mode you will start to gain weight and your metabolism will shut down. It’s not the way, please i beg you to reconsider. Who cares if wheat is cultural, who cares if everyone eats it. It ruins your health, Good Wheat Belly and look at their site and book. Rice, white rice especially is a simple starch and a good carb. You also need good fats! They are a must. I have listed 2 plans here, the top 2 posts, please read them and see what real healthy eating is like. Then feel free to ask me any questions. Hang in there…. http://gmdietforums.com/forums/gm-diet-after-day-7.6/
Dear Author,
Day four – 1 glass of milk is equivalent to how much in ml?250ml?
Is it ok if dinner is at 10pm at night?
1 glass is 236 ml
not really, eating right before sleep a great way to gain weight.
Hi..
1/ on day one can I drink milk instead of fruits?
2/ can I drink water over the night? Meaning
I wake up usually during the mid night Nd drink water
And how many litters I can drink water during the
24 hours?
3/ can I use sweet N law as substitute sugar
4/ can I drink tonic water during the diet?
Thank u..have a nice day
1) NO, not even close to being the same at all.
2) Sure, drink water as you are thirsty. 2 to 2.5 litres
3) No, it’s garbage and actually overtime causes weight gain. You can use a pure organic stevia.
4) What’s that? 🙂
THX!!!
Tonic water is kind of soda water
Also can I use Nescafé ??
I don’t like fruits, so what can I eat on day one??
Ty again
No, Nescafe is a junk processed food. Sorry. You are missing the point of this diet. Whole, real natural foods only! Please, those processed foods are ruining your health. Sorry….
Oops, assuming it’s only carbonated water yes.
K done
But what can I eat during the first day instead
Of fruits .. I don’t like any fruit
WOW, understandable… I would say veg, some sprouts, peas would be OK since you need some carbs but only because you don’t like fruit.
Shall i do jogging or running while i’m in a diet week?
Very light the first few days, do not tear muscle down, you will have no protein to rebuild.
Hi, Today is my day 3, 1st and 2nd was ok. Today I am feeling hungry. In morning I had melon and water melon. after 3 hours had small amount of papaya yet feeling hungry. In afternoon planned to have salads like carrot cucumber, and some salad leafs.
I am feeling too hungry now.
make sure you eat some soup then and don’t under eat….
Yesterday I had 5 small carrots along with cucumber in lunch and evening, Is carrot not suggested.
You will be fine. I don’t recommend during the 7 days because people only ever want to eat carrots, corn and peas. Carrots after the diet are fine, however you will be OK.
Shall I alter the fruits in the same day?
Like you mentioned morning 2 apples in breakfast, instead of two shall I have 1 in morning and add the another one in dinner??
Sure you can, diversity is good….
Thank you.. May i know what i have to eat in those days? I mean in the 14 days..
Sure look at the top 2 posts here…
http://gmdietforums.com/forums/gm-diet-after-day-7.6/

Brisk walk, may be a lite log for part of the way. Just con;t tear down the muscles…https://www.gmdietworks.com/exercises/exercising-on-gm-diet.html
Hi,
what is the quantity of milk that can be consumed?
Also can I add little jaggery in tomato soup ? Plz reply fast as today is my 3rd day. Thanks in advance…
Hi,
what is the quantity of milk for day 4?
Can we add little jaggery to tomato soup on day 5?
3 glasses.
no, it’s just sugar, no matter what you call it. If you want to gain weight then yes you can have it then 🙂
Hi I’m in day 4. I have very important dinner meeting today. Can I switch day 4& day5 ?
yes, better than messing up day 4
I have lost 2 kgs on 4th day morning but I gain 1 kg on 5th day morning?? I had 5 small bananas & 3 glass milk also Gm soup on day 4. Please reply ASAP I m very much disappointed with it….. 🙁
Don’t distress, you will be OK. Although 5 small bananas is a couple short, you did find. It’t not likely you gained anything, see how you fair the next day, Be sure to weight first thing when you wake after going to the bathroom.
M weighing in the same manner u described. will update again on 8th day morning…. Thanks for the reply
1-What is the maximum duration for which this diet can be followed ?
Plz answer soon . I’m on day 5 of 2nd week, but can do one more.
2-If I have to break when can I restart.
My wt has reduced from 109kg to 102kg.I’m 5ft 9 in,31 yrs old,have excess of bad cholesterols.
Any helpful suggestions?
1 time every 2 weeks (minimum wait)
Well loads of suggestions.
1) Cut sugar and gluten.
2) No more fried foods or bad oils. Bad oils are sunflower, vegetable, canola, peanut, safflower, etc. You need a pure diet.’Eat to Live’.
Look at the top 2 posts here, http://gmdietforums.com/forums/gm-diet-after-day-7.6/

Hi
can i have gm soup on day 2 for lunch and dinner? instead of having jus the veggies.
yes…
Also on day 5 can i have tomato soup(made with 6 tomatoes as we are supposed to have 6 tomatoes compulsory on day5) along with other recommended foods
yes assuming your don’t add sugar or any other bad foods to it.
Does 1 time mean 1 week off for every 2 weeks of dieting?
no – 7 days on, 14 days off minimum.
Hello, i would like to tell you that i have finished my 1 time of the gmdiet, i have losted 3 kilos ” just without doing exercices !”. I enjoyed it so much. I look forward to re-try next mount.
Now i would like to ask for my freind, can she begin the gmdiet while she breast-feed, her baby has 6 mounts.
Thank you.
Awesome news. I am not a doctor, she should ask one. However my opinion is she should NOT! She should be eating good fats and protein. She could look at this plan, it’s a weight loss plan for in between rounds.She should also be 100% gluten and sugar free right now. http://gmdietforums.com/forums/gm-diet-after-day-7.6/
Good Day to all. I am a male from India and I am currently tipping 93.4 KG. I started my 1st day of GM Diet. I am following it to the letter. I finished 2 lit. of water and 1 apple was my breakfast. Feeling light headed but no hunger pangs. Its probably because of the amount of water I had to detox. I am keeping a positive outlook and adamant not to cheat the diet. Grapes will be my lunch. Support & encouragement of readers are appreciated. Thanks to all in advance.
Hang in there, normally folks feel energized after a few days. Just got a comment from someone that did and they feel amazing. Remember to eat the soup if you need more food. Also less is not better, follow it as closely as possible 🙂 Ask questions if you need help.
Good Day,
My second day begins. My weight seems to have increased to 94 Kg. Maybe its the water which I drank yesterday though I had my occasional bathroom trips. Yesterday, my urge to eat tasty food was at its all time high but I held on. As stated, I had watermelon, MuskMelon, grapes and apples for dinner.
I feel good today. No heavy, groggy or lethargic feeling. More light weight but the scale would disagree. Also feeling bit dizzy. My breakfast of veggies all ready. Boiled cabbage, cauliflower and beans. Raw beetroot, carrot and tomatoes. Same applies for dinner. No salt or pepper. Plenty of water today to suppress hunger and detox.
As the author stated, “Eat to Live” not the other way round.
I am aiming for 4 lit today. I want to know if thats excess or will it cause any negative impact on the body ? Thanks in advance.
Hello
Hang in there… Feeling detoxy so to speak is normal the first couple of days. You really needed a potato with fat on day 2. It is vital. When you say beans ,I assume you mean green beans and not legumes. Beware too many carrots. All else seems OK 🙂 Water is fine ,just never overdo it. You can flush too many vital minerals from the body. So add some lemon to it or have a coconut water.
DAY 3
I am glad to be back on fruits at day 3.
Note about yesterday: Somehow I couldnt go with boiled veggies. Personally i found it too hard to eat green beans, cauliflower and cabbage without salt. But pulled through. Had plenty of water.
Today it was again grapes and apples. I cant think of veggies. It may be just me but I just couldnt go on eating more.
I want to know if its Ok to stick to fruits and water?
P.S: I know tomorrow is bananas and milk. cant wait for that.
Hello
You can have salt, pepper and spices on your food. Spice it up actually. Day 3 should be a mix as we have it….
I thought I had to avoid salt, pepper and spices. I didnt know one could have that.
I have heard people saying that salt isnt good for weight loss, no matter if it is cooked or raw. Is that so ? red chilli powder ok too ?
Started day 5,
3 to 4 bananas consumed. These are the small varieties. 3 glasses of milk yet to be gulped.
Your body needs salt, spices and such are totally fine if they are pure.
Over doing salt will only cause some water weight gain. Meaning the next day you may appear to have lost nothing although you had. So just don;t over do it. Your body needs salt, I recommend a Himalayan or Celtic salt though. Chili powder is great. If they were small you can have up to 6. Trust me, other than over doing salt which is bad for your health, most people do not have a salt issue causing weight gain. Trust me it’s processed foods, gluten sugar and bad oils.
Sure, thank you.
What do you mean by “for in between rounds”?
You should not do this diet consecutively. So you need a 2 week minimum break in between rounds.
I hav noted always gain bAck 1 kg after the 7th day ii have done this 3times after a break of two weeks?
Also can i hav eggs for breakfast on day 5?
maybe too much rice? Eggs are fine as a meat replacement, by far the best option as opposed to rice or anything else non-meat.
can i add tofu on the wonder soup? i’m on my third day tomorrow,can i fried tofu on olive oil? if its okey to have it?thanks
NO on the soup add. Tofu is a machined and over processed food. I don’t see the health benefits rather just the negative ones. If you want it as a meat replacement only, go for it, I just cannot recommend.
Can we have corns , pulses or beans in day 3 of Gm diet plan ?
No, they are not vegetables.
Is it okay to follow below shedule-
Day- 5
Breakfast- 2 tomatoes, A Bowl of Red Kidney Beans seasoned with salt, pepper and lemon.
Mid-Morning- A Cup of Curd
Lunch- A Bowl of Brown Rice or wheat chapaties, 2 tomatoes, Palak Paneer (Spinach and Paneer)
Evening-Sprouts Salad with onions, lemon juice, pepper and a pinch of salt.
Dinner-Light Curry made from Soy Chunks, 1 chapati, Cucumber and tomato salad made from 1 cucumber and 2 tomatoes.
No, you cannot have WHEAT! Unless you want to gain weight do not eat it. NO CHAPATI, this is a gluten free plan. Make sure all of your meals have some good fat. Also, you only eat 3 times that day not 5. So that is also way off base.
Hi author, pls help advise ammended diet plan for day 5
Do this: (dried herbs and spices are all OK, as is salt and pepper.)
Breakfast- 3 tomatoes, A Bowl of Red Kidney Beans (with ghee/butter or olive oil) seasoned with salt, pepper and lemon.
Lunch- A Bowl of White or Brown Rice with curd, 2 tomatoes and spinach as well.
Evening-Sprouts Salad with onions, cucumber and tomato salad made from 1 cucumber and 2 tomatoes. Make sure you have some good fat here like olive oil.
Day 6 you get the same really and you get an additional small meal.
Pls advise if below is ok to be followed for day 5-
Breakfast- 2 tomatoes, A Bowl of Red Kidney Beans with onions, cucumber, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
Lunch- A Medium size Bowl of Brown Rice cooked with onions, tomato, soy chunks + a small bowl of Palak Paneer (Spinach, Paneer & tomato)
Dinner- 1 cup sprouted moong with tomatoes,onions, salt & lemon + 1 bowl of tomato soup with cottage cheese in it.
I sent a better plan, Soya chunks are a bad idea to me if you have other options. Lunch, too much, you don’t need paneer, rice and soy…
Thanks a lot…
Pls help advise similar diet plan to be followed for day 6 & 7. Would be a great help. Thanks.
day 6 the same, just pick a snack like a little cottage cheese and some veg.
1 , can we add soya sauce , chilli sauce and vinegar in wonder soup ?
2 , I prefer to eat a vegetable salad in day 2 and day 3 , can i add ketchup ?
No, no and for sure no. Pure dried herbs and spices are great, those others typically contain MSG, sugar and other chemicals. Ketchup, if you want to gain weight then have it, if you want to lose weight and be healthy run from it. Good luck 🙂
Hi,
I am on day 3 of the diet plan but don’t really see any weight loss. I strictly adhered to the Fruits on day 1 and veggies on day 2 (including a bowl of wonder soup at dinner) of the plan along with 30 mins exercise. Today also, I had a mix of fruits and veggies.
What went wrong then? What should I do to make this effective for the rest of the days.
thnx in advance for your advise.
Did you have a potato with fat for breakfast day 2? When do you weigh yourself?
Hi,
I have started this diet, due to non-availability of fruits in the dinner.I have had salad i.e. vegetables on my 1st Day. Do let me know if its fine and on what all days can i have juice whenever i feel hungry
Thanks
veg is fine that night day 1. You cannot, sorry, I assume you mean fruit juice? You can have the soup when hungry though.
Hi I am on day 4 of diet plan and i havent lost more then a Kg ,
ill continue with the diet anyways . Few questions :
1 – Day 5 and 6 has beef in it . can i ignore the tomato parts ? and can i cook the beef in 3 tbsp yougurt ? can i make beef kebabs in olive oil
2 – Can we replace beef with 2 egss / daal / chicken . Like if I eat 2 eggs in the breakfast , daal in lunch and chicken in dinner ?
3 – Ive had carrots in wonder soup with soya sauce , vinegar and chilli sauce ? is that the reason for not loosing weight ?
Please answer as soon as possible as i will be starting with my day 5 soon.
1) no, the bee does not need yogurt. You need another veg if you skip potato. a tiny bit of olive oil is fine.
2) yes you can make those replacements for beef.
3) Then you have really messed up. Have you ever read the ingredients of what you eat? What I mean is at some point you have to make a lifestyle change and deal with all aspects of what you eat. You cannot eat junk foods and sauces and expect to get better. Hang in there, consider this please going forward,
Can you please tell me what instead of tomato i can eat ?
Potato would do ?
No, it would not. It is not the same as tomato at all. It can be a healthy carb, but it’s not what you need now. Sorry.
pick another base veg. NO corn peas or carrots. NO POTATO
Cucumber ?
perfect 🙂
N in day 6 can i buy a beef steak from any resturant ? Or bar b que stuff in beef ? Usually they grill the tikkas by tapping some oil !! Would that be okay ?
No, they load their food down likely with chemicals, bad oils, too much salt and sugar, and MSG. If it were fresh real meat and grilled with NON MSG’ed spices then yes. Know what’s in your food and where it all 100% of it comes from if you want to keep weight off.
N thankyou so much for your responses. They really help alot
Always happy to help 🙂
Pls help advise what can be taken in place of brown rice on day 5,6 &7… I dont like rice at all.
qunioa, legumes, lentils, beans. Day 5 and 6 these will need some good fat, beef has fat so the replacement should as well.
No, no potato, I only had vegies (broccoli, cabbage, carrot, capsicum, onion, mushrooms) and had a bowl of wonder soup. I weigh every day in the morning
The potato and fat was vital. You cannot just skip stuff as you feel. Sorry. Good, weigh in the morning after you go to the bathroom before eating or drinking.
Oh I am sorry, i thought I may or may not have potato in breakfast. Can I have cheese (paneer) on day 5 & 6 both? Can I use all sprouts (steamed will do as I cannot eat raw sprouts), how much quantity each day?
No, the potato was totally necessary and important.
You can have some cheese paneer, hard to measure so do a normal bowl per meal. I assume you will make it knowing the ingredients you put in, etc. A few sprouts can be had with your veg. 🙂
Can we have maggi vegetable aata noodles on day 5,6,7… I dont like brown rice or qunioa.
Those are literally pure garbage. Have you read the ingredients. If you eat those they are a sure fire way to gain loads of weight. Do eggs, millet, white rice. NO Wheat! Wheat is not the same as rice, it’s a junk carb, bad for you and will cause weight gain.
Hi Admin,
I m on day 5 right now and have lost only 1kg.
What did you eat day 2 and 3?
on day 2, I had
Carrot and lime juice for breakfast
One large cucumber as snack
White radish(moli), carrot and avacado All Raw for lunch
White potatoes with lime , green salad for dinner.
I walked 3km on day 2
FOR DAY 3
Apple, pear, grapes and a slice of mango for breakfast
Watermelon as snack
Steamed broccoli, carrot, and red capsicum for lunch
Mango as snack
White potatoes with lime
One half fresh pineapple in dinner
No walk
On day 2 I cheated twice with one morsel of roti and one morsel of biryani, just to taste 🙂
Sorry your not following the program at all. There are so many errors I’m not sure where to begin, but I can tell you I see now easily why you’re not losing weight. You actually to follow the plan for it to be effective. Sorry.
Isn’t day 2 of veggies and day 3 veggies n fruits? Plz explain where I went wrong
Did you look at the sample plan? Can you please look first and then see maybe where you went off? Example why did you not eat potato day 2 breakfast with the good fat? It’s not good to eat right before bed. Why did you eat potato day 3? Why are you drinking juice day 2, its like eating pure sugar? Avocado? It’s pure fat. Don’t get me wrong very healthy balanced in a good meal post diet, I eat almost 1 a day. BUT 100% wrong for this program right now. You cannot sub whatever veg you want for the ones we list. Potato is a tuber, it’s all starch and carbs, so not at all the same as a broccoli, etc. Does that make sense? Carrot even for example is higher in carbs. Sure a great veg post diet, but it throws the program off some. Just some thoughts to help.
And yes even small cheats can really mess things up, sorry. I know they were small, it happens, it can just throw you off chemically thus causing less loss.
For day can I have chicken instead of beef and how much I can have?
Yes, about 4 to 4.5 oz per meal 🙂
Can we have white vinegar as Salad Dressing?
Sure…
Thanks!
I need to start again, I was following wrong GM diet.
Beware of versions that nobody supports and where versions they claimed worked for them 🙂
Hi, Can I have following for Day 5:
1) Breakfast: 2 boiled eggs (whole) plus 2 raw tomatos.
2) Lunch: 1 cup basmati rice with butter milk plus 1 egg (bull’s eye with little olive oil and pepper in it)
3) Dinner: GM soup and 1 boiled egg.
Yes, but you are not eating enough food…
Is there any sort of side effects associated with the gm diet such as hair loss. I am already losing hair and i don’t want to lose more. Also is the diet suitable for 15 year olds
I cannot imagine there is, these are real wholesome foods on this plan. You may want to consult a physician. As far as a 15 year old, look at the foods here. Then compare to how she eats now. Most kids I know, well actually all of them eat junk food literally all day long.
hai i am just on day2 i want to know whether green tea with sugar 4 cups in day is advisable
1. and tender coconut water 400ml daily is my routine should i stop or continue
2. Lemon water with 1 spoon honey is also my routine should i stop or shall i continue.
3. wonder soup with vegetables in it or with out the boiled vegetables ( only soup)
Please reply any more suggestions for me.
Sugar is not OK, never, Unless you want to gain weight.
1) coconut water is fine daily, stick to a glass or so.
2) Lemon in water is great. No honey. Why honey? You basically are drinking sugar water.
3) sure, up to you on the soup
🙂
can i take fruits on day 2 instead of vegetables?? Basically i want to replace vegetables by fruits in the diet plan (even if any particular fruit is fine )??
no, fruits are not at all the same in carbs and calories as veg. Sorry, the fruit day, on day 1 is one thing, but to have it for veg, not the same at all. If you do this post diet ass well, you will be in for a world of hurt when it come to weight gain.
hai i have a doubt about the bananas on day 4 how many bananas allowed exactly & at can you give the split time for bananas for the day.
More over i am taking amla juice i glass with salt is it OK this too is my routine.
4 large bananas. yes split the bananas up for the day. I would not take amla juice during the program for now. But up to you…
hi i accidently had pizza on day one can i still procced with the diet??
I would wait a day and start over, try and eat healthy that day off.
is it possible that i continue this one because after having junk i worked out and had fruits the whole day
Junk? I know you said below you had pizza. I would wait a day and start over.
Hi,
Iam having Thyroid, so taking treatement for it but now its normal. I have just started GM Diet Plan, Will its work for me. Shall i continue this diet or should i take any extra ingredients.
Pls help me out
It can work, however with thyroid issues you need good fats more. I mean detoxing like the first 2 days can be oK for most, but it could stress your thyroid out. You may need o ask a doc. Look at the forum, look in the after 7 days section (top 2 posts), that’s how I eat and i have a minor thyroid issue that now thanks to an amazing doc and my diet is healing 🙂
Thank you for the reply
Thanks for the reply..so can i eat corn cooked and uncooked..on vegetable days with carot.
No, corn is no good, dead in nutrients and technically a grain.
Can we have cooked vegetables with little oil n species on day 2 & 3??
Sure, if you read the plan you should be eating veg. Very little oil assuming it’s a good oil like olive or coconut. Spices, go for it.
Can kids aging 16-18yrs do this diet??
Well, first you may need to ask a doc. I know nothing of the child’s health. Second, how do they eat now? The kids I know literally eat junk food everyday. I suggest if they are overweight a lifestyle is sorely needed…
hai
I am an non veg but will not take either beef or pork Please suggest me on day 5 with out beef & hamburger for the 6 th day.I can follow veg or chicken or fish. Can we substitute with broken wheat insteat of brown rice.Since i am not getting brown rice.
yes, either veg, chicken or fish is great. No, broken wheat is not the same. Unless you want to gain weight don;t eat wheat. White rice is the best.
Hi,
1. How many banana to be consume on day 4
2. What is measure of 1 cup rice (in gms etc)
1) 4 large/regular bananas, more if small.
2) 1 cup = 128 grams, measured uncooked the rice.
Hi,
1. Cow milk can be used?
what is subsitute for celery & onion in wonder soup
Pick another veg, no corn, peas or carrot though… Although you don’t have to have more if you don’t want…
can we eat carrot during the diet?
Better to hold off. The problem is they are a little higher in carb, and if we said yes, most people tend to only ever eat carrots, corn and peas. If you have one it would be fine.
Can u please tell quantity of milk on day 4 in ml please. Also is it okay to consume less banana or its mandatory to have it. Cause it might lead to weight gain.
3 cups.
yes you can have less bananas, but I can assure you, your issue will not be with banana, likely what you eat after like wheat. However it;s up to you 🙂
HI Author,
Pls answer the following queries
1. If I feel hungry can I have fruits as snacks in additional to the menu you mentioned for day 3 and day 4
2. Can I have guava in day 3 and 4 in between if hungry?.
3.On day 5 can i replace beef with 3 eggs in each meal. I mean 3 eggs for breakfast, 3 eggs for lunch and 3 eggs for dinner (all with tomatoes).
4. On day 6 can I have chicken and egg in more quantities? Pls specify the allowed qty for each meal.
5. On day 4 can i have milk with sugar or without?
1) No, you can have the soup.
2) No, you an have the soup.
3) Yes you can 🙂
4) You can have meat 3 meals plus 1 snack, so up to 4.5 oz per meal of chicken or 3 eggs.
5) No sugar, unless you want to gain weight.
Can you please suggest the measure of cup of milk . 1 cup= ?ml.
1 cup = 236 ml
shall we eat boiled chenna on second day of gm diet..
No, sorry… Look at the nutritional makeup and you will see it does not match what is eaten day 2.
shal v eat veg soup for everday whenever we feel hungry..is there any restriction about quantity..
You sure can. No there is not really.
1. on day 5 & 6
can we eat white rice with ghee
or
eggs (pls suggest quantity through out the day)
Rice or Eggs which is preferred
2. Can we take take rice on one day and egg on another day?
Eggs is far better, Here’s why. Rice little to no protein and has loads of carbs. Pastured eggs loads of nutrition and good protein. 3 eggs per meal. Yes, you can have rice, then egg later, or better yet legumes.
Thanks for reply.
Total 9 boiled egg per day.
Can you help to suggest which legumes and how much quantity
Lentils are great., about a cup cooked per meal. Correct on the eggs 🙂
Is it ok if I take normal white rice instead of brown rice on day 5?
Sure, it’s actually better, it’s a simple starch, brown rice has anti-nutrients.
Hi
1. On day 6 can I take mixture of white rice and lentil (tuwar dal) with vegetables
2. On day 7 also can I take 2 cup mixture of white rice and lentil (tuwar dal) in place of brown rice .
hello…
1) sure. make sure it has some good fat like ghee.
2) no lentils day 7.
Thanks.
Pls confirm
1. on day 7 we can consume 2 cup of rice or 1 cup
2. With ghee or without.
3. On day 6 can we start BF with 3 eggs and remains diet with equivalent rice & lentil less than 1 cup.
2 cups cooked will work.
no ghee day 7. a teaspoon will not be a killer
yes you can on the eggs…
Hi..can i do an hour of running or joggin or swimming ,while on gm diet??
read the exercise page at the bottom of the site, but no, you do not want to tear down when you don’t get protein…
be careful the first 4 days until day 5 when you get protein…
Im on day 4 now. 1) On day 5, can i have hamburger from subway? If yes, how many for the whole day
2) on day 6, can i have 3 eggs, 1 cup rice, 1 cup lentil plus veggies for the whole day ?
Thanks in advance
1) No. You don;t get bread. It means a hamburger patty, meat only. Also if you are eating at Subway then you are gaining weight, their food could not be worse for you. It’s junk food, all of it. If you want a sure fire way to gain and keep weight on, eat wheat.
2) yes, rice and lentils 1 cup cooked. Also rice and lentils need some good fat.
hello I am at the end of 5th day of my diet..day before yesterday I had checked my weight and had lost almost 2kg bt hvnt made any progress thereafter, don’t understand why 🙁
yesterday(day 4) I hd 5large bananas (took one extra by mistake) and 5 glasses of buttermilk and today I hd a cup of sprouts for breakfast; half cup brown rice, 2tbsp curd,3tiny tomatoes fr lunch; sprouts,5 tiny tomatoes and half cup rice for snacks and dinner.did I exceed the limit? I am worried because there’s only 2 days left and I want to lose more weight.plz reply soon..thank you 🙂
it was only 3 glasses of milk.
Keep rolling, day 4 was a mistake, day 5 seems OK, although each meal if you replace meat needs good fat. It’s vital to weight loss.
@Author:
Whats the amount of white or brown rice I should take on day 5?
Day 6 says unlimited beef, is that ok to take unlimited rice too(with ghee)
Am confused, kindly help.
https://www.gmdietworks.com/general-motors-diet/gm-diet-vegetarian.html
We list it here. NO, rice is a poor meat substitution, you are better off eating 3 eggs per meal or doing legumes. Keep in mind the legumes and rice need good fat since beef does.
Hi, i am currently in Day 1, this is my first time doing this GM diet.
1. Can I eat 1 boiled egg for breakfast for Day 3 and 4? / Can I eat eggs?
2. For day 4, Can I have banana + milk juice?
3. For day 3, which is fruits and vegetables, can I make FRESH watermelon/orange juice? without milk and anything, pure juice.
4. Do I need to fry my vegetables..? any suggestions? for day 2
I have alot of hunger pangs… i am trying the cabbage soup
ingredients: onion, tomato, cabbage and potato (i only drink the soup and eat the cabbage and tomato without potato)
Please advise! thanks!
1) no
2) whats milk juice?
3) no, drinking sugar/fructose is not the same as eating it whole.
4) no fry, you can steam,plan cook, etc. You cannot use bad for you oils like canola, sunflower, vegetable, safflower, etc.
YOU CANNOT have potato in the soup. Please read the actual recipe. Potato nutritionally is not even close to the same as cabbage, etc.
Sorry…
Mostly every night, i use to take one badam, one cashew, one half walnut, one pista before bed.
Is it okey to continue the same during the diet or not???
No. Also eating before bed is a sure fire way to gain weight. Beware 🙂
Hi can i take tomato and onion on day 2??and other vegetable day
no more than 1 tomato, onion is fine 🙂
Thank you 🙂 also if am on vegetarian gm diet plan..can i repeat the plan after 3 day gap.
And why the weight loss is less if you follow the vegetarian plan ??
Well, you can but a 2 week wait is better. We do have a plan on the forum, in the After 7 Day section, the top 2 posts that’s great in between.
Why? Well meat is pure fat and protein. Vegetarians replace meat with rice and legumes. Rice and legumes have loads of carbs. However good carbs though but you are taking a plan meant for meat and doing high carb foods instead of a no carb food. That;s why eggs are a great replacement. So eggs first, legumes next, then rice. And the rice and legumes need good fat on each meal day 5 ad 6. Hope that helps….
Sure,it helps.thank you
I am on day 2 but i made a mistake.i forgot to take the potato in the morning.instead i took carrot..so should i continue with the day 3 or should i go bak to day 1.and i have already lost 1.5 kg by now..(i hope its not the water weight)as i am drinking atleas 4 litre of water from last 2 days..
Just keep rolling, all we will be OK 🙂
i had taken 4 digestive marie biscuts on day 2 will it spoil my weight loss regime
Oh yah, those things are so bad for you. I cannot believe they can get away with calling them digestive biscuits. they are basically pure junk food and have ZERO redeeming heath value. If you want 1 sure fire way to kill this plan, it’s eat wheat. Sorry 🙁
After a long struggle I am starting with the GM diet. Today on Day 1. Didn’t have anything except a bottle of water till 11.30 AM. Then had a musk melon juice without sugar. A lemon juice again without sugar. After this @ 5.45 pm I had an apple and again another one @ 7.35 pm. Hope I survive the night. Have had 4 glasses of water. I feel fine except for the craving to eat rice. Can I continue the diet to Day 2?
Sure keep rolling 🙂
You keep mentioning without sugar on your food. Please stop using sugar if you want to lose weight 🙂
Thank you for your quick response. Your response is really motivating. Thank u. I haven’t weighed myself but I know I am around 56 kg and should reduce to 50. I just finished having a potato with salt and mustard seeds. Hope I make through the second day.
Happy to help 🙂
good luck 🙂
Just had a question, there is a spoon of olive oil used to fry the mustard seeds..is it ok..or have I broke the diet?
what day was it on?
Hi Kevin,
While preparing the 4 PM snack on Day 2, 1 tsp of lime was added.
Is that ok?
Secondly, my wife added around 2-3 tablespoons of corn. Unfortunately, I read later that I can’t have corn on Day 2. Is this ok? Or how’ll I rectify this please?
I understand that these minor changes make a huge difference.
Your advice will be appreciated please.
Lime or lemon is great, actually good to flavor and add some minerals to water with.
You will be fine with that much corn 🙂
We say no corn for many reason, but a little like that will be OK 🙂
So you are doing great, keep rolling…
Secondly… I had 2-3 raw cucumber an hour before dinner as I was very hungry and did not have the wonder soup with me (at work)
No problem either. That is a very base veg and is totally fine to eat like that…
Hey is it ok if i stop the diet on day 5 ?? As i have lost 2 kg in first 2 days and after that weight is the same no difference..
No it breaks the cycle. Not sure I understand why you are stopping.
It was on day 2. But I am feeling very very hungry now.
eat some soup, it helps…
If I have had Poha on Day 2, Have I broken the diet and should start again? Please advice.
Also on Day 3 , is it ok to have potatoes for lunch?
You may want to start over. No potato. Potato is not at all nutritionally the same as regular veg. Potato is only OK day 2 breakfast.
Morning Kevin!!!
Can substitute watermelon for Papaya in my day 3 dinner?
And I think I added a little extra chilly powder in my wonder soup. My stomach’s bloated.
Should I restart my diet? Or is that common.
Your advice will help a lot please
Morning!!!
Papaya is fine.
It can be common… Just keep rolling…
Actually i sis not loose any weight after day 2..hence i wanted to stop..but now day6 completed so i will finish day 7 also.
Can i eat rice and lentils with curd for my lunch after day 7?
Sure…
Am on day 3. Can you eat bananas on other days aside from day 1. It isnt that clear to me… Thanks.
Just day 4 only…
I’m having low BP. Can I do gm diet..
Hello, you may want to ask a doctor. Everyone with low BP can have different restrictions. Not sure what yours may be.
Hi Kevin,
I have the choice of having white rice, Brown rice and ‘dia’ rice. Which one is the best for Day 5 please? And should I add some ghee along with that?
Is the below regimen fine?
Breakfast – 1 bowl of rice (brown/ white/ dia) with 1 tomato, 1tsp ghee, 1/2 tsp salt
Morning – 2 tomatoes
Lunch – Same as Breakfast
Evening – 2 raw cucumbers or tomatoes
Dinner – Same as lunch but with less quantity rice.
Please let me know if I have to make any changes. It will help 🙂
white rice great. and yes ghee/good fat needed for meat replacements day 5 and 6.
Looks great.
And can I add some sprouts to the rice please?
2-3 tbsp?
yes
Hi,
It is my day 3. All is going well but today my friends made me eat one laddoo (Indian sweet). Will it ruin my diet by any chance? 🙁
Ruin hopefully not. Hurt you, likely yes.
Hi author,
A quick one please.
I had a glass of plain watermelon juice (without sugar ofcourse) on day 5 as I was very hungry.
I had this almost an hour before my dinner.
Is that ok?
Secondly, since I had white rice for breakfast and lunch, I’m feeling constipated.
I actually had 1-2 servings more of rice than 1 medium sized bowl.
Is that why I’m constipated?
I am now worried as I’ll be having the same schedule for tomo (day 6)
If you ate too much rice that can be an issue. This is also a low fiber day and that can cause an issue. If you replace meat for rice, that rice better have some good fat or you will not do as well at all. Meat has fat, the replacement should as well.
Hi

please suggest me what’s should i eat after 7 day to remain fit,I m a Indian so i usually eat flowing food.

Can we have sweet corn on 2-day of GM diet or remaining all days
No, not at all…
I ate sweet corn accidently on day two 🙁
No prob, keep rolling you will be fine.
Plz snd me the diet plan for seven days.and I am confuse which one to follow
Becz there r many same GM diet plans
It’s not confusing on our site, look in the sidebar and click each day, easy enough… I cannot recreate something that’s already on the site. If you are reading plans elsewhere, I cannot help, funny nor do they.
HII
I am on day 2 & I had corn on the cob this morning – will this be very detrimental?
Also, what will be the better substitute for the milk – soy or almond?
Thanks 🙂
Keep rolling, you should be OK
almond great, I can never recommend soy anything really. 🙂
thanks for your quick response! much appreciated!
ok! i will keep on going! no more corn! haha
Hi Author,
I’m going to start this diet next week. Have few questions :-
1. Next week my periods are due. So, it is alright if can start the diet next week.
2. Can I have wonder soup any time any day ex. day 1 or day 4?
3. I don’t eat meat, so can I have boiled/scramble (burji) eggs on day 5, 6 & 7. If yes, how many in a day. Also, I can eat eggs with brown rice or just eat eggs only?
4. Can I have paneer also with brown rice? If yes, how much in a day?
5. Can I have fruits and veg on day 5, 6 & 7 as a snacks?
Thanks in advance..
1) You can start, but hormones can make your actual weight loss seem less.
2) Yes you can, any day, any time
3) you can days 5 and 6. Day 7 is rice only even for meat eaters. eggs only. You can do legumes only with good fat also.
4) yes, as a meat replacement. Just a normal size bowl, less rice for sure though, more paneer.
5) No, read the plan carefully. You get 3 meals day 5 only. Soup can always be the snack. Day 6 has a snack.
Can I continue with d diet if I am on my menstrual cycle ?
Sure, hormones though can overall affect weight loss. But all should be good in the end…
Hi there! May i just ask if I could stop after day 4 say I’ve already lost 3kg? What is the essence of day 5,6,7? I mean can I return to my usual eating habit but just without rice? Btw, i didnt eat potato on day 2 is it okay? I ate eggplants the whole day.
Hello 🙂
No, the potato was key but you seem to be OK. The last 3 days are vital, they keep you on track.
Hi,
I plan to start the diet from tomorrow.
Problem is drank a little alcohol yesterday. Should I postpone it or is it alright to start it from tomorrow..
You can start 🙂
Hello sir
Almost lost 3 kgs before a week,and now I have started again and this my second day,
instead of beef can I have grilled chicken without any sauces or boiled chicken.and hw much we have to eat pls tell me n gms.
And on vegei day can I add little chickpeas to my salad
you can yes have chicken. 127 grams or so per meal. no chickpeas. They are not a vegetable.
If I am taking beef I should not take rice
No rice day 5 and 6 if you eat meat.
hi ,today is my first day .
1) tomorrow shall i have cooked raw banana (Plantain).
2) alternative days i am doing suryanamaskar n aerobics..shall i continue my yoga.
3) for breakfast potato shall i season with mustard n green chilly n salt
1) no, plantains are pure starch, they are not a real fruit, not at ll the same nutritionally.
2) up to you, don;t tear down muscle, you have no protein to rebuild.
3) sure, needs fat as well, season it as you like 🙂
Can I have coconut tea on this diet? And I had black rice instead of brown, is black rice better? It’s healthier
Black is great, as is red, etc. Good.
What is coconut tea? Or what’s in it?
Hi Author,
Am on day 4 doing the program properly, incase i replace the skim milk to yougart what kind of yougart? ( i mean full cream or low fat or sour yougart) and how many ML i can take.
thanks in advance
mid fat yogurt is OK or skim. no sweetener unless it’s stevia. Good luck 🙂
I had a 1/2 cup of tea with milk and little sugar on 2nd day .Will it harm my GM diet? what should i do to compensate it? Plz reply
Sure it could harm you. Sugar is toxic. And no there is nothing you can do to make up for it. Don’t believe what you see on TV, it does not work as they show. Example you cannot just eat a piece of cake and then think you can workout more to burn calories. Sorry.
However, you should be OK, keep rolling head 🙂
for 4th day i dont like to have raw tomatoes plz tel me instead of tomato wat shall i have.
shall i follow this
5 th day
breakfast-rajma,chickpeas,whole green moongdhal salad

dinner- again some salad
7th day
breakfast -salads
lunch -1 cup of brown rice
dinner- 1 cup of brown rice
instead of wonder soup shall i have mixed veg soup
(carrot corn cabbage tomoto green peas)
No problem, Pick another veg, no corn or no peas…
Day 5 is OK.
Day 7 no peas or corn.
Good luck
its my second day today..i really wanna ask if
1. what should i do after the gm diet?
because it is said that you cannot continuously do gm diet.
2.can i have beef rice and veggies in day 7?
3.Can i drink non-fat milk or low fat milk in day 4?
Hello
1) I recommend sugar and gluten free to start. Read the top 2 posts here.
http://gmdietforums.com/forums/gm-diet-after-day-7.6/
2) no beef.
3) low fat is OK. The milk needs some fat. Stop fearing good fats after this program.
thanks for ur reply.
on 4th day how many classes of skim milk shall i take
3 glasses
tomorow is my fifth day. Is it ok if I take a boiled egg alongwith rice and 2 tomatoes for each meal?
You can have egg only. 3 eggs per meal. Or rice with some good fat. Tomato qty is correct, a little more is OK as well.
Can We have white rice and Dal in lunch on 5th and 6th day of GM diet
sure, make sure it has some good fat
Hello sir,
I am on day 4 today, on day 6 can I have 1 grilled chicken piece with little rice ( thigh or leg piece) only for the lunch becz its my birthday and we have decided to party on day 6. Plz suggest me for whole day diet for day 6.
No rice if you eat meat.
Just follow what we have day 6 🙂 You can sub chicken for meat. Eat rice with chicken at your own risk….
Hi Author,
1. Can I have cooked yellow daal with one cup of rice on day 5 as you said legumes can be taken instead of beef. If yes how many cups with rice per day? Also one cup of rice is cooked?
2. How many eggs can be eaten a day on day 6 & 7? can we eat them with rice with some veg?
3. Can we eat curd on day 5,6 & 7?
4. Is chickpea allowed on day 5, 6 & 7 along with rice?
Thanks!
1) 1 cup of rice all day measured uncooked. But if you add legumes rice must be less. yellow daal is fine
2) no eggs day 7, only rice. day 6 3 max per meal. eggs only – no rice with it
3) curd can be taken, only day 5 and 6. Look at the Indian version the bottom of the site
4) chickpeas yes day 5 and 6, but you get much less rice.
Good luck 🙂
Hi author,
I am a bit scared to eat 9 eggs in a day. wont it add back the weight I lost? Also wont it affect my cholestrol levels. I am a bit naive when it comes to health so please help me with this query. Thanks!
Hello
I understand, I only recommend it since most will not eat meat. Normal days you need variety. But on this plan all will be fine, You can do 7 eggs. And the whole eggs are bad deal was so 1980’s, real good pastured chicken eggs are a true super food 🙂
But if you get eggs say at a typical grocery store, they will be bad.
Hello sir,
I have decided that I will not break my track becz I want good result.I hope for the best!
Day 5 diet plan is clear how to take beef,
but I am confuse for day 6 its mentioned to take beef in snacks with vegeies,thn in breakfast and even dinner.can y plz advice me correct amt of beef to be taken for 3 meals and even for snacI am ok with my diet I am not feeling hungry at all, so I am not taking the soup is it ok?
ello sOr compulsary to have it.
you do not have to have soup.
day 5 is 3 meals each with beef or another meat.
day 6 has 3 meals with meat, but you can if you like have a snack and it can have meat.
Hope that helps. Do not under eat, however if you are not hungry do not have the snack or soup.
Hi, I m on may 4th day. I nedeed to what is the maximum quantity of rice that can be had on the following days. I mean without cooked. N as mentioned in the diet plan can I have rice as many times as the beef is mentioned? Thank you in advance
yes you can have rice with good fat when it calls for beef. Look at bottom of the site, we tell you how much in the Vegetarian link 🙂
Hi Author,
im on my 5th day today and i took 2 eggs as my luch today. but as i just finish the 2 boiled eggs i start feeling itchy, just last week i had allergy and the dr prescribe me an antibiotic and antihestmine for 5 days, my last medicine was November 18, then i started my GM November 22. along the way its superb and i lost 4kgs already. and tomorrow is my 6th day and i wanna complete my gm. the question is, is it ok if ill take the antihestamine tablet (1 tab a day) and not the antibiotic, it will help my gm to remove the allergy or i should stop my gm so that i can take the medicine.
or anything that would give conflict to both (gm and allergy). please advise.
BTW the dr did not mention that i should not eat egg and chicken during my check up.
i just got to knew it after eating the 2 eggs.
many thanks,
take whatever meds the doc says to take if you want.
Sounds to me you have an egg allergy, I do. They are common allergens.
If you have an allergy, you have to find out. You have to be tested. You do not want to eat foods that you have immune issues with. Allergies to foods can hinder weight loss and your overall health.
Hello sir
Today is my fourth day 3 days more left,pls suggest I want to repeat this diet again becz 15 Dec we have function. And I am very much concerned about loosing more weight.I will take rest for 4 days in between and then start.
that’s up to you, just make sure on your days off eat healthy, try at least being gluten and sugar free.
I have finished day 5 with 7 whole eggs and as many tomatoes. I am feeling heavy. Please let know if its ok to go day 6 with white rice,curd and normal vegetable dishes cooked at home including legumes(chana)
well, it’s tough, I would say only eat eggs once a day. But vegetarian meat replacements are not any good typically. Soy is terrible, beans are ok but have lots of carbs for this program, and so on.
Totally go rice or legumes this time. make sure each has good fat 🙂
Thanks for ur reply, but I can continue my gm even im taking the medicine only 1 tab a day and im taking it before going to bed.
sure, I never suggest stopping meds. However I suggest you think about this,if I were say taking an allergy med, them ed does not cure my allergy, rather stops the signal from going to my brain lessening the symptoms. I still have the allergy, I am still damaging my body. I suggest you get to the bottom of hwy you have allergies that’s all. 🙂
Thanks for the quick reply author,
I’m on day 4 and lost 2kg so far. Can you please advise my next three days meals as below:-
Day 5 – Breakfast – 1/2 cup Boiled Chickpea or paneer with 2 tomatoes with onion & cucumber as a salad
Lunch – 1/2 cup brown rice with 1/2 cup daal with 2 tomatoes with 1/4 cup curd
Dinner – Same as lunch
Day 6 – Breakfast – 2 boiled eggs
Lunch – 1 egg with 1/2 cup daal
Dinner – 1 egg with 1/2 cup brown rice
Day 7 – Breakfast – chickpea/paneer salad
Lunch – Vegs with 1/2 cup cooked brown rice
Snack – 1 cup fresh juice
Dinner – Same as lunch
Really appreciate.. Thanks!
Day 7 rice only. No chickpea/paneer. Looks good though 🙂
Thanks for the reply author.. can we take egg or daal on day 7 or what else I can have with rice?
day 7 is rice only. Sorry 🙂
Hello si
Day 5 beef patty how much to be taken, in gms
Pls suggest.
110 to 125 grams or so per meal
Pls clarify the following:-
1.Whether 1 cup rice from Day means 1 cup raw rice. If yes, that is large qty?
2.Can’t we have other vegetables along with tomatoes on day 5?
1) yes raw but you can back off some if you like
2) sure, a little extra veg will never hurt assuming it’s not peas, corn and carrots.

Hello sir,
I am feeling very dissapointed.i dint even loose 1 kg as i am 100% sure i did not cheat my diet.
Same diet when i followed last time before this i lost 3 kgs.
Pls tell me why?
I have taken 5 days gap and again want to giv a try.
Hang in there, issues like that can vary. It may be wise to try again a few days later. Try and stay gluten and sugar free until then if you can. Keep in mind although you may not have lost, you were healthy and overall in the long run that will help down the road.
Hi author,I a have completed my 2nd day sucessfully with ease. i have just one doubt. i didnot feel hungry in the 2 days and also i feel more energetic is it ok? i have read that most of the people feel sick and tired. also i would like to tell i have followed the two day routine strictly. does plz reply, thanks in advance
It’s great. Some folks deal with detox harder then others. To me it could just mean your detox pathways are full open and working well, your body is dealing well with coming off other foods, etc. So enjoy 🙂
Hi!
This is my 3rd attempt on the gm diet.And for the first time I have been able to reach day 3 successfully.So I have a few questions.
1.I go for regular morning walks.Is that okay?
2.After the walk I feel thirsty and by mistake I had coconut water and the pulp both in the morning in the last two days.Will that be a problem?
3.I don’t feel sick at all.Actually I feel a lot more energized.But I am scared to check my weight.Can you tell me when would I actually start to feel the change in my weight?
4.Last one. 😀 Can I have roasted brinjal with some chillies and spices as a part of the vegetables?
walks are OK. just do not over do workouts.
do not do much pulp, coconut water is fine.
it can take a few days before you feel lighter, getting junk foods, oils, etc out of your system can take time
yes your sure cane have that 🙂
Thanks for encouraging me.i hope for best this time.
Thanks a lot for the quick reply.One more thing.Can I use olive oil to sauté my vegetables because it seems really difficult for me to have them boiled or raw. 🙁
you can use a dash to cook the veg
hi i started the diet plan this monday and have been according to the prescription. but by mistake read the 4th day as 3rd and had bananas and milk today on the 3rd day. pls let me know if the diet will work. would you suggest me to stop the diet today and restart it from tomorrow. if i can continue, what day schedule should i follow tomorrow. pls let me know. thanks.
Dear Author, please guide me. I am worried. i wanted to give my best but made a big mistake of having bananas and milk on 3rd day.
just swap days. no problem 🙂
I am having fruits during the day and planning to have 2 bananas in the night for today.
could you give me the diet of 5th to 7th day pls. both veg. and non-veg.
We do give it to you, please look in the sidebar and read each day. vegetarian in the bottom of the site on the footer. Bananas only day 4
Can you pls forward the diet plan for 5th 6th and 7th day- both vegetarian and non-vegetarian. I am on 4th day and have already lost 3.5 kgs. Thanks!
This is working wonderful
Look in the sidebar please, then read the link at the bottom of the site for vegetarians.
Mistake? I would start over, wheat is a diet killer and a weight gainer.
Hi
I am on end of day 3, have been following it as per the plan.
I am a bit confused about day 5, 6 & 7, I am a vegetarian egg eater
Can you please breakdown the menu for breakfast / lunch / dinner / mid meals for all three days. I have gone thru the Indian / vegetarian version link but still confused.
Please help!
Thanks
Day 7 there are no changes. Follow what we have.
Day 5 and 6, simply replace beef for rice and a good fat like some good oil or some curd, use legumes with good fat, or 3 eggs per meal. The veg stays the same. Spice your food as you like.
Hi author..
On 5th dec it was my day 6
..but i jad only one meal i.e a bowl of chickpea and veggies cz i was sleeping almost whole day. I am a doctor in india..shifts are crazy here. So now i have woken up at 12 am i.e 6th dec..
i am a bit confused..should i start wd day 7 now as per schedule or continue on day 6 and start wd day 7 from
I would just go to day 7, no worries, You can only do your best 🙂
* day 7 from 7th dec.
# in continuation wd last msg#
Pls reply asap..m hungry!
Hey..one more thing..is 1 cup curd ok on day 7?
No, it’s a rice only day, however for you missing day 6, you could 🙂
Thanks ..bdw again will have to skip a meal today.
🙂
Thanks…is this OK
Day 5
Morning – 3 eggs with tomoatos and cucumber
Lunch – 1/3 cup of rice with low fat curd or paneer
Dinner – 3 eggs with tomoatos and cucumber
GM Wondersoup as mid meal or whenever u feel hungry
Day 6
Morning – 1/3 cup rice with all kind of veggies except potato
Lunch – 1/3 cup rice with all kind of veggies except potato with some curd or paneer
Dinner –same as lunch
GM Wondersoup as mid meal or whenever u feel hungry
looks great, you can have a snack day 6 also 🙂
what in snacks??
day 6 snack can be more meat and veg.
one more question….will I experience hair loss cause of gm diet??
Why would it? Not sure how that would work? These are healthy foods. If you lose hair it because you have moderate to severe underlying health issues.
coconut water is allowed on all 7 days.
sure if it’s pure.
Am I allowed Worcester sauce or soy sauce on day 6?
not likely looking at the ingredients of them, fairly bad foods that can contain bad oils, msg, way too much processed salts.
Thanks! I love this diet… So far I’ve lost 7.8 pounds in 5 days. I’ve pointed a ton of friends to your site… I think they are going to do it too! Thanks so much!!!
awesome 🙂
Oops… One more for you. Cornstarch ok on day 5?
No, sorry…
Hi I have have heard about wonder soup but cannot seem to find the recipe. Please share the link.
https://www.gmdietworks.com/recipes/vegetarian-recipes/gm-diet-wonder-soup-recipe.html
Can i have a couscous / quinoa salad with tomatoes, onions, peppers brocolli and spices on days when we can have veg and fruits??
I live in the middle east where this is easily available.
no, those are not vegetables. And this program is gluten free. so no COUSCOUS. Wheat is easily available here, I would never eat it unless I want gain weight and be unhealthy. Quinoa would work as a meat substitute days 5 and 6.
When on day 5 and 6 we can have only beef or only chicken or only eggs?
We can’t have one meal beef, one meal eggs, one meal chicken?
Or day 5 have beef and day 6 have chicken?
sure, you can mix and match. go for it.
Can we have grilled meat on day 5 and 6? so sheesh tawook, shawarma ( only the meat, no tahini, no bread).
Also can i have plain chicken curry, beef curry without any rice or bread?
Also i can either eat meat or rice right? can have both in one day?is white rice better or brown
Can you suggest me a diet plan for day 7 please?
sorry about all the questions but I just want to be sure I am doing it right. Don’t want to make unecessary mistakes
grilled meat is fine seasoned how you like.
yes curry is fine also.
either or, meat best!
Always ask, no problem here. Day 7 is fairly base. So season the rice as you like and eat the veg as you normally would really.
Hi,
I want to ask if there is an age limit in doing this diet.
During the two-week break, can I have Weet-Bix and milk for breakfast on most of the mornings?
Can suggest some substitute for the meats that are in the diet? I’m not vegetarian but I just want to know.
No, no age limit. You can have those products for breakfast if you want to gain weight. That’s really all they do. You can do eggs or legumes, with good fat added.
Then what do you suggest I have for meals during the two-week break?
Hi,
Can people with high blood pressure or under hypertension medication go through this diet? if not, could you please explain the reason and also suggest an alternative.
THank you
I recommend this. http://www.wheatbellyblog.com/
This guy, a leading cardiologist – meaning he is out of the norm and changes people lives. You cannot go wrong here. Cut the gluten and the sugar. You need balance. You don’t need detox, it can stress your heart and your body too much.
1 can i hav daal and rice on day 5 in breakfast and lunch???
2 how can i have rice with tomatoes ??
3 can i make palao of rice tomates beans carrot ???
1) Yes.
2) Have it cooked with some onion or peppers for seasoning and spices. It also needs good fat.
3) Yes.
1 ) can i hav oats regularly after completing my gm diet ??
2) can i hav bran roti after gm diet ??
2) No, sorry, too much proof behind wheat and weight gain, not to mention loads of other issues with it. This is up to you. http://www.wheatbellyblog.com/
1) Oats, oats are good for cholesterol due to a fiber that’s in it. However is a huge cross contamination crop, meaning it cross contaminates with wheat. So if you want get certified gluten free. Next, very high in carbs. Have you ever checked to see if you have insulin resistance or what happens to your blood sugar if you eat it? Also, oats taste terrible unless you dump loads of sugar, milk, etc on them. SO what do you eat on yours? Be careful. If you did eat some you need it to be a part of a balanced meal, with good fat, protein, etc.
Thank you so much! It helped.
I have another question, as I am rather confused about the vegetables part. For day 2 and rest of the days, when we are supposed to eat vegetables, can we eat beans, peas and lentils as a part of the diet, or should legumes be totally avoided? This clarification will help me a lot.
Thank you once again.
Well understand nutritional what makes up most veg (celery, cabbage, zucchini, green beans, broccoli, all greens, cauliflower, etc to name a few). Most veg really have zero real carbs. Then you go to tubers (potato, root veg) and squashes (like pumpkin) and they do have a good amount of carbs. Beans, legumes, etc are full of carbs and are NOT vegetables. So you cannot replace a cauliflower with a bean. So no beans and legumes unless you replace them for meat day 5 and 6. They are loaded with carbs yet have protein. However these are considered good carbs, so off of the diet yes eat as a aprt of a balanced meal (balance meaning good fat, good carbs, protein and lots of good veg), although I would only ever eat soaked and sprouted beans and legumes.
i ate sweet corn on day2,….but i didnt eat anything after that..is this ok ?plz rly me.
Well no corn to me is not OK,it’s not even a veg. So many issues with it. However you will be fine, just keep rolling.
today is 5th day and i lost only 1 kg ??? my diet was accurate…
can i hav dhokla (channa dal ) after completing my gm diet
I don’t see why not. The key here is balance, a balance of protein, good fat and carbs. I could see that dish being easy to over eat, thus becoming a carb overload. So measure, and enjoy. Make sure to have some good veg with it.
What time of the day do you weigh?
i weigh in morning.
today i ate 6 tomatoes nd 2 small bowl of rice…
Any good fat with that? Why so little food. FYI the less you eat the worse you will do.
Can I have the packeted soupsthat are available in the market during the GM diet?
Not likely. What’s in the soup? Chemicals? MSG? Bad oil? This program should steer you towards whole – real – natural foods.
today is 7th day and i didnt loose any weight :((
i did not cheated… i had 6-7 glasses of water per day…
should i strt again from tomorrow???
Up to you when to start. 2 weeks time off best, however you struggled. What did you eat day 4 and 5?
i ate 5 banana an 3 glass of milk…
on day 5 i ate 2 bowls rice soup and water upto 6 glasses
Did you have any good fat with your meals? why not 3 meals. NOT GOOD….
Hello there,
I am on day 2. And I have lost 1 kg yet. I walk everyday for 40 minutes and I have started some weight loss workout too. But, I took quarter plate of rice at dinner, the rice had a small amount of oil. I am afraid, that I’ll be able to loose more weight in the coming days or not? I have to loss at least 7 kgs in the coming days.
Do I need to start the diet again?
Also, in my area, watermelon is not available, so I ate a lot of apples yesterday. is that okay?
Please guide me.
Thanks
Hello…
Any time you break a diet, say the mechanism that makes it work, yes it can throw you for a few days. Starting over though is up to you. You may want to consider it. Fruit, sure, do your best and eat what’s local.
Hi… I m doing this GM diet for 3th time now. almost like once a month. I do hog on my fav biriyani’s n deserts before taking my GM diet before a day. Is it fine ?
Secondly one of my friends she want to take this diet but she is intolerant to Tomatoes, can you suggest from alternative for this please. Thanks you.
Seasons Greetings !
No, if you eat junk food like that you will likely always struggle with weight. They can just pick another veg, it’s OK to do that.
Dear,I had 1 bread with minced on 3rd Day:Should i continue diet and stopped or restart it again
hi,Can i restrat after bread or carry on?On 3rd day i took bread
I would wait a day or 2 and then start over.
Can i have yogurt instead of milk on 4th day.
yes you can…
can i have 3 meals only,i dont want snacks
Sure…
Plus is there a restriction on the amount of fruits we can
Consume on day 1? Or the amount of Vegas on day two?
Also can I cook the vegetables with spices but no oil of course ?
A small dash of oil is OK to cook veg, you can cook as you like. Base vegetable,s yes eat as many as you like. Fruit, yes you can eat lots, try not to over do fruit though.
Well milk has sugar in it technically so no. Herbal teas are OK like green tea. Black tea is not herbal. Stevia is OK
Plz let me know bcoz i don’t like soup
Still no – rice is pure starch and carbs. The soup has no carbs – see the difference? These things are vital to know if you will continue to eat right and lose weight. You have to know what you are eating…
can i use chicken stock in soup ? n i hv to drink soup daily ? i m on 2nd day plzz reply fast
No you cannot have chicken stock in the wonder soup. Bone soups are amazing. But the Wonder soup is not meant for it. Sorry.
Very much appreciate you for painstakingly answering every single question posted. Now I have a few 🙂
1. I use carrots, cabbage and onions for the wonder soup but add about 3 tsps of Knorr veg soup powder for flavour. Is that ok ? If not, is there anything I can use to enhance the flavour ?
2. Is white rice ok on the rice days ? White basmati to be precise ?
3. Is it ok to eat a half cup of mushrooms on veggie days ?
4. Cqan lemon be added to the daily dose of water ?

No problem 🙂 Happy to.
1) Knorrs is never OK, they use junk additives and MSG likely. Learn to use pure and natural food. These additives and junk will affect your health. Cooked onions and peppers spice foods, or pure dried herbs and spices.
2) perfect white basmati
3) yes
Hi, is a cup of light black tea (not herbal), with no sugar, ok to have in the morning ?
you can have some, however black tea is not considered an herbal tea.
Hi
Can I hve tomatoes on all days of gm diet? Also is guava okay as a fruit on day 1 and day 3??
No tomato every day. Guava, some yes is fine.
Hi, I am on the second day of the GM diet. Now I was a little confused about the quantity of potatoes to be eaten. I have eaten 5 small potatoes for breakfast. Will the result be severe??
You should fine assuming you had some good fat with it.
I had little ghee just for the flavour. Will that be ok??
Yes
Accidently I had a little honey on day 6? Is it ruin the whole deit plan?
no, keep rolling…
Hi,
For Day 5, if I wanted to substitute tomato for something:
1) does it have to be only 1 vegetable throughout the day or can it be a mix (cucumbers + sweet peppers/celery, for example).
2) does it have to be raw? (e.g. Can I have sauteed/boiled cauliflower or broccoli?)
thank you so much in advance!!!
1) mix sounds great.
2) cooked is also great!
the subs you mentioned are all fine..
Thank you so much!!!
Can I have boiled vegetables on the days indicating that I should? I am on day 2 and lost and amazing 2 kilos! Watermelon and apples help a lot!
sure, cook, eat raw, spice them how you like, whatever 🙂
Nice loss so far…
Thanks a lot for the quick response! God Bless!
I have 2 simple questions:
1. Can I have 2-3 cups ot tea daily with small milk but no sugar during the diet plan?
2. Can I substitue chicken with beef as I do not eat beef?
1) no milk…. stevia OK.
2) Yes you can.
I am on day 5 and i have lost 3 Kg so far. if i go out tonight and have a drink or two of alcohol, what are the consequences? what is the least damaging kind of alcohol?
when it comes to health and life, I am 100% against alcohol, so you are asking the wrong person, sorry. The calories in this case, etc are what can kill the diet.
MY answer is totally biased.
I am going to retry GM Diet. My first try had mixed results but I felt good.
I was reading about GM diet success stories and one guy said he gained 2 pounds when he checked the scale on Day 5. This was because he drank ‘Whole Milk’ with Bananas on day 4. He says he should have chosen fat free milk. I would like to know if this is true.
If yes, which of the following do you suggest ?
>> Whole milk (Fat Content is 3.5%)
OR
>> Semi skimmed milk (Fat Content is 1.7%)
OR
>> Skimmed Milk (Fat Content of 0.1%)
Thanks in advance.
that was one person, however go with the 1.7%
Hey there…
1.on day 5,6and 7 can chicken be replaced by chicken sausages? If yes what quantity?
2.will the packaged soup will do instead of homemade soup?
3.with white rice is it ok to take cereal( yellow dal)?
Kindly suggest.
Well you only get rice day 7, not meat. Day 5 and 6 chicken is great. 4 or so ounces per serving.
No, packaged soup is junk food, full of bad oils, chemicals and MSG likely.
Yellow Dal is fine…
Hi There,
After completing my first 7 days of GM diet successfully, how many days/months gap i have to take starting my 2nd & 3rd attempt of GM diet ?
try and go sugar and gluten free for 2 weeks, then you can do the program again…
Hi hello.. This is my first query on gm diet well. I had gm diet last week n I started loosing 3 kgs in 4 days but being red meat hater n also be c ause of the fear regaining d lost weit I avoided chicken n fish n chose to live on eggs. N from my previous experiences I found out that soya bean was totally bad for me on d last few days where I gained all d lost weit. Moreover ur plan sez procuring white rice puts u away from gaining weit bt I dint work for me in fact it added a pot on my belly. So other than quinoa and white rice can u suggest something I can use. Thanks in advance
You message is a little hard to understand, I will try and help though.
Grass fed red meat, eaten proper is beyond nutrient dense as good for you. Do you eat Wheat? Gluten grains? If so, Google Wheat Belly and you will see where the pot belly comes from. If you have a pot belly also, it takes time to lose that weight and hard work. Soy anything to me is bad news unless it’s pure and fermented. It throws off hormones and is just bad. White rice is a simple starch and balanced with a good fat and protein meal can be fine if you do not overeat. However if you want to go with chicken or eggs go for it.
I had a small piece of chocolate on my day 2..will it ruin my complete diet process???can I continue r go back to day 1??
just keep rolling 🙂
Hi !
I have just started the diet…
There are a few thing I wanted to know.
1.] What kind of vegetables can be used in soup apart from cabbage and lettuce ?
2.] What can I replace the beef with ? I have read that Chicken/Fish are good substitutes. What should be the quantity in grams ?
3.] What are good replacements for milk in Day 4 ?
4.] Is it okay if I skip the beet ? I seriously hate that vegetable ?
1) Have you read the recipe, we give lots of options. Replacements are fine if they are the same nutritionally, meaning no starchy veg.
2) chicken and fish are great, 4 oz per serving or so.
3) almond milk or lite coconut milk. yogurt is fine as well or kefir.
4) yes of course…
I have just 2 more queries. I have a convection microwave oven.
1.] I grill the raw vegetables with salt and chili powder. Is it fine ?
2.] Can I eat raw banana in similar grilled fashion ?
The reason I am asking is that, I have not added Oil or any other fatty thing.
I simply season the raw veggies with salt, pepper, cumin powder, coriander powder and microwave them for few minutes followed by grilling them for few more minutes.
Microwaves, ruin your food, so proceed with caution.
1) Yes grill the veg and spice the food as you like.
2) yes on day 4 that is fine.
Fat is not the enemy, if you are going fat free, you will ruin your body, kill the gallbladder. You need good fat to lose weight and sustain yourself.
Hi Author,
I ate dry fruits, on the 1st and 2nd day, today being my second day, will it cause any hindrance in weight loss, as I just read about not eating them.

Hello 🙂
This is a detox plan the first few days, do not overdo it until you are bale to have protein….
Can I substitute celery and cabbage for cauliflower and broccoli for the wonder soup on day 1?
you sure can…
Hi, Tomorrow is my 5th day and we need to follow the vegetarian option, just need to know how are we supposed to make the Brown rice – Boiled or Cooked, can you share the recipe for the same, also can I take it on all 3 meals, please advice, thanks for the support
cook as you like. yes you can have it all 3 meals. Make sure day 5 and 6 it has some good fat like ghee or olive oil.
Day 2 , for lunch I made bhaji just like typical Indian pav bhaji. I didn’t add potato or oil in that . I made it with onion , tomato , garlic ,cabbage , bottle gourd and ivy gourd . I also added some peas and carrot in that . after eating it I came to know that carrots and peas are not allowed . I just had it . is it OK ? Can I have same bhaji for day 3 ? Is this type of cooked veggies are allowed ?
My second query is : can I add Suger free in any of the dish I make in 7 days ? Plz reply
Sugar free what?
Peas and carrots are not great during the pan for many reason, fine after though. You will be oK though.
It’s my 5 day bt I think I ruined it by eating beef in lunch n rice in dinner? Pls reply m really upset
It’s not ruined but it was not good
Keep going 🙂
I’m on day2 wanna knw how much weight shall I loose till the end of d diet? :0
it can vary per person, do you have health issues, man or woman….
Can I have whole milk rather thn skimmed ,fat free milk for day 4 ? If no then plz let me know how to make fat free milk from whole milk at home . and in my previous question I had asked for sugar free . I meant to ask about sugar free natura which is sweetner .
whole is fine. Beware of fake sweeteners, they lead to health issues, diabetes, weight gain and so on. Run. remember natural is better. Try pure stevia.
Thanks a million 🙂
Dear Sir,
I am following the GM Diet and having a good experience today is my 4th day, I have a query regarding the rice that has to be consumed on the 7th day.
Would cooking the rice in a open vessel with lots of water and draining the excess water so that maximum starch can be removed and I may have a little extra rice then what is mentioned in the diet plan,
Also after the plan is over can rice be cooked in this manner so that it shall not have weight gain effects on the body?
Cooking rice like that is fine. In a balanced meal, white rice can be a simple starch/good carb. On a normal day I would never say eat it 3 times, once would be enough, and then diversify your carbs with tubers, fruit, etc.
Dear Sir,
I had One more question , I have hypothyroids , I have to take eltrocxin100 everyday , would thyroids effect the weight loss process. Also after the diet plan may I have cooked Oats for breakfast with a little curd and salt, is oats really heathy
Also you mentioned that wheat should be avoided as much as possible, so may I have Pearl millet roti or sorghum( jawar) roti.
Yes, thyroid issues can really hinder loss. However if you have Graves it can be the opposite. I do not like oats. Here is why. Sure the fiber in oats has been shown to help with cholesterol issues. You don;t need it though if you eat properly. Oats however are grown with wheat in rotation hence are 99% of the time unless you know your source a cross gluten contamination issue. I do like that you do not put sugar on yours. Keep that in mind, you have a thyroid issue, you should be 100% pure and clean of all gluten risks! It is vital! You cannot afford a drop of gluten with your thyroid issue. The millet and roti can be OK, however with a thyroid issue you must have good fats!!!!! However, look at my test. You will see I am red on most all grains (i eat none). I have a very light thyroid issue, take no meds and mine is healing and going away. (NOTE: you will see wheat on taht list as not red, I did not eat any, so the fact that it even showed up is scary)

Hi,
Today is my last day 7 of the diet plan. I checked my weight on day 4 reduced 3 kg after that it’s fluctuating but not reducing.. Is it normal? Y it is not reducing?
Thanks
It can be normal, the good news is on a more normal diet you maintained! So keep that in mind as you go into day 8 and on. You start adding back in wheat, sugar, etc watch out…
Hi,
1. I finished my day 4 today. Could consume only 3 bananas with 2 cup milk and 1 bowl tomato soup. Is it okay?
sounds great….
Day 5 plan
Breakfast : 2scrambled eggs with 2 tomatoes. Without oil.
Lunch : 1 fistful (measured uncooked) toor dal cooked with little ghee, 2 tomatoes, garlic)
Snack: 100 gm paneer (roasted with slight butter)
Dinner: same as lunch.
Please confirm if this is OK or need changes. Also recommend changes
Looks great as well 🙂
Dear Sir,
Thank you for your suggestion, I have gone through the chart referred by you, However in the chart Rice also comes in red? is it fine to eat it.
My Age Is 34, Height 5ft, and weight is 92kg , I am married and have a Five year old daughter Was earlier never serious about my weight loss but now I have started getting scared, I feel tired very soon,
I would really be grateful if you may suggest a diet plan that can be followed with the everyday cooking,
My i eat a cup of cooked dal for dinner intead of rice , I must say I have feel very nice when I drink the Wonder soup however one bowl does no suffice may I have 2 bowls , I make it with lots of water cabbage, tomatoes , bottle gourd, spinach, capsicum(little), coriander, ginger garlic paste , very little tamarind , salt and some freshly ground indian spices. please let me know if I need to minus any ingredients.
Also may substitute three dinners in a week for this soup.
Thank you for your patience, but I have set a target of losing at least 20kgs in one year. However I want to do so in a healthy way.
red rice is totally fine.
Your soup sounds great. Of course always spice it as you like.
Day 5 and 6 you cannot use the soup unless you were to add some good fat to it, legumes or meat.
Look at the top 2 posts here, this can give you an idea for a diet afterwards. Let me know if you need help or have nay questions…

hey i finished my day 2….
had coffee today as i have to study whole night….
should i continue or start the diet again???
well if it had sugar you may need to start over, sorry…
is there any way to balance this cup of coffee…????
Sure, Normally I would add collagen to mine and some good fat. On this program that would still work just less fat.
Hello ,
I had lost 2kgs at the end of third day . today I again checked my wgt . its my 6th day today . its just 0.700 kgs less then last time .
Looking at the result of first three days , I had assuemed that I’ll be able to loss 5 kgs at the end but its disappointing me , that in first three days I reduced 2 and last three days just 0.700 . is rice responsible for this ? And today I replaced rice with poha . can I have pulses tomorrow ? Plz suggest 🙁
Meat makes this plan better. Eggs not as bad but when you replace rice or legumes for meat the last 3 days do not work as well. Legumes and rice in a balanced meal are fine. However on this plan it can be tougher. Did you eat good fat with each meal day 5 and 6?
Actually I am vegetarian so can’t have egg and meat . and good fat ? No 🙁 I just had few drops of oil in my recipe for both lunch and dinner , both the days .
How will consumption of fat , help reducing my wgt ?
Well then those days were all wrong. You need good fats. Your body must have them. You need good cholesterol for example for all of your hormones. If you are not eating good fats you are ruining your health basically. This Americanized fat free lifestyle that’s here is literally causing so many health issues they are countless. I’m not saying a few detox days like you find here that are fat free are the issue, in context it’s for a purpose and is a short period of time.
http://www.westonaprice.org/health-topics/cholesterol-friend-or-foe/
Thanks dear .. Now I’ll be careful for day 5 and 6 . I’ll have some good fat on this days . is it same for day 7 ? Its my day 7 today. Am I suppose to have fat today ?
Query number two is : on day 5th , I took cooked tomatoes . so on day 5th , we have to take raw tomatoes or cooked are fine ?
Day 7….
You can have a dash with each meal, jut not as much day 5 and 6. Good fat although day 7 is not considered a normal food day after the plan is vital with each meal you eat.
Dear Sir,
Yesterday was my 7th day of diet I have lost 3.5kg weight , it is very little weight loss, however I am feeling great and motivated people have actually noticed the difference in me 🙂
Is it OK if I drink a glass of thin butter milk every day?
And the wonder soup every alternate day instead of dinner with occasionally adding some chicken pieces as you adviced ?
Being a married and working women, I have certain social commitment Like family function and office parties, when I have to attend such functions I substitute a previous meal with a plate full of salads, does that really help, or should I stop going to such Dos for a few months?
I started My GM diet in the first week of February. may I start again in the first week of march?
I have decided to try my level best to stay off the wheat rotis, however I must admit that I love cheese, and I tend to have one Vegetable cheese sandwich once in month, is cheese very harmful to my diet? may I have not more than one cheese cube in a month plz.
Thank you for your time .
Nice loss 🙂
Wheat is harmful to your diet. A good cheese in a balanced meal can be just fine. NO chicken in the wonder soup. Keep it as we have it. No butter milk on the plan.
If you meant after the plan you can have what you like in the wonder soup.
hello,
Can i have white rice and chickpeas for day 5.
yes and each meal needs some good fat
can we have 2nos of ragi dosa for all day’s in GM diet
No, sorry….
i do 7 days gm diet but my weight was not loss
what time of the day do you weigh and what did you eat day 5 and 6?
On day 5 and 6i had a subway sandwich. With multi grain bread and veggies and chicken ham. No sauce . coz I am following the app and it says on day 5and 6i can have a hamburger
Hamburger patty, no bread read it again. This is a gluten free plan. Their food is terrible not to mention the wheat they use is beyond processed, GMO, etc. Sorry. We don’t have an app, so you may want to contact the app developer and ask why they let you have wheat on the diet. Especially since it ruins your health and causes weight gain. Please ask them, I cannot help if you do not follow our plan.
Can I have soaked black chana with cucumber as sprouts
on day 2??
No, that’s not a veg – it’s completely nutritionally different.
Dear Sir ,
i am a vegetarian, i have a query for day 5,6 and 7. on day 5th , what can i have other than tomatoes and rice . what can i have for consuming good fat on these days ?
I really request you to help me with the detailed menu for last three days . i saw official link but didnt find menu in detail for vegetarians .
please help.
Thanks in advance .
last time when i did gm , i reduced 2 kgs on first three days but last three days were all wrong . plzz help me out
I would need to know what you ate exactly. Likely not much, you did maintain and that’s great.
menu? it’s there. It tells you to have legumes with good fat each meal. Or eggs if you do those. Last do rice with good fat. Season your food as you like. You can have curd and rice as well, however you then need to lower the amount of rice you have just a little. Day 7, it’s the same for everyone. So read our day 7.
i have hyper thyroid, will this work for me
It can, but truthfully you need a major lifestyle change to actually lose real weight and get better. At a minimum you should already be gluten and sugar free.
Dear Author,
First of all wud want to congratulate you on your site and the effort & patience you put to explain everyone with their queries is awesome Hatsoff to you.
I did this diet in 2009 lost 8kgs first time post that did couple of time but result wasn that great like 1st time. Have started again on day 2 today. Hopefully shd see gud results.
I just did a mistake ate carrots for lunch without seeing your response on carrots..I shall make it up in next 5 days 🙂
Thanks a ton for guiding all. Much appreciate!!
Thanks for your kind words…
a couple of carrots will not kill the program, it’s just a veg higher in carbs and people only seem to ever eat carrots.
Good luck…
Can milk be replaced with coconut milk??
yes but not full fat so lighten it up some 🙂
Hi author,
on day 5 , one cup of rice means whats the quantity ?????
128 grams or 1 cup measured uncooked.
Hi, il be doing this diet for the first time..iv been wanting to do it since long but my ADDICTION for tea with milk stops me everytime even when i THINK of it!plz plz telme what should i do..i badly need to lose atleast 15kgs!but i know il faint without Having tea lol….i can follow ur diet strictly all days the way uv mentioned but .plz telme can i consume 1cup or 2cups of skimmed milk without any sugar each day???.also plz telme if i take panadol wil it effect diet in any way? Thanku!!plzzz reply asap :)..God bless u!
Hello 🙂
I say no on the milk, if you did some use a pure coconut milk instead for tea.
You cannot just drink milk, it’s like drinking sugar. Sorry. Panadol can certainly affect your health and your body, it’s an NSAID, so up to you and your doc on that one
Good luck 🙂
Lost 2kgs in 4 days 🙂 not bad i must say since i definitely did very very little bit of cheating this time.. Day 5 early Morning measured and found 2kgs less awesome…

Hello sir
I am strictly following the diet plan and i finished day 4. I just lost 1kg till now. What could be reasons for this?
I had 4 bananas on day 4 and rest of the days also I followed it perfectly.
what did you eat day 2 and when do you weigh?
HI,
I weighed today morning 96.7 (originally when i started the diet i was 100kgs) and today its day 5. But as soon as i had rice it bounced to 98 kg by evening.
Also, pls tell me the rice should be measured as cooked or uncooked as one cup.
I also had other vegetables except potato, no legumes or beans.
Please help
well of course it did, you cannot weigh at night, you are weighing food, water and potty! Please, you can only weigh first thing in the morning, when you wake after going potty before you eat or drink a thing.
I had boiled potato with few raw pieces of onion and lemon in the morning, for lunch I had cabbage, cucumber, tomato, boiled beet. I repeated the same for my dinner also.
so you had potato for dinner?
No! I meant I had the same thing for dinner that I had for lunch. I had potato only for breakfast.
i have certain questions.
1. can i drink milk on all the days of diet without sugar??
2. i drink green tea daily.does it effect my diet plan????
1) no, sorry
2) no, herbal teas no sweetener (unless it’s stevia) is OK

2.In Day 5 Can i have ((Sambar)dal,,Raddish,Tomato),Rice cooked ?
AND if im having the above curd is not necessary or still i can had?
1) perfect, go for it.
2) yes you can… you need good fat with each meal day 5 and 6 so a little curd is fine
Can I use ground turkey instead of beef on day 5?
sure thing…
Can I drink protein powder on any days?
best not to
Sir can u please tell me the alternative of banana for day 4 because i don’t like banana
sure thing, just pick another local fruit.
Hi, I’m on day 2, but accidentally eat 1 banana in day 1. I want to start all over again. Can I start again tomorrow? thanks.
you can however I would just keep going you should be OK.
Hi,
Question again:
1. what do you mean by good fat?
2. can I eat earlier than the time indicated in the plan? I usually eat breakfast at 6am.
thanks.
1) good meaning ghee, grass fed butter, coconut oil, olive oil, palm oil. Bad are veg oils like canola, vegetable, sunflower, safflower, etc.
2) yes you can 🙂
thank you sir!
Hi, me again,
what kind of milk should I take on Day 4 –full cream, non-fat, fresh milk?
Thanks:)
fresh or 2%. It’s fairly open
Hello Author,
I had GM 7 days plan diet 2 weeks before and lost 4 Kgs. IM very happy about it and now im again in diet this week. Tomorow is day 3, i cannot be in diet this day, Skipping 3rd day diet alone will affect anyway? Please advise me.
1, I have thyroid problem. So instead of cabbage and cauliflower. suggest me the alternatives.
2. While having vegetables can i add pepper and salt?
Thanks in advance.
1) you cannot skip a day.
2) pick a similar vegetable that local and the same nutritionally.
3) adding salt, pepper and pure herbs and spices to your food is great…
After Diet, shall we take chapati’s for maintain the weight? For lunch i can go with brown rice. But for dinner and breakfast what would be better?
I was thinking to take chapati, bread toast, white egg for breakfast and dinner, after diet? How to go?
Well, to put it bluntly, if I wanted to gain weight, i would eat wheat. Not to mention ruin my health, cause digestive issues and Leaky gut. I;m sure you like most people cringe at hearing that. Sorry, it’s just the facts here. White rice is better than brown, brown has too many anti nutrients. You need balance with each meal. Good carbs (not wheat), good fats, protein and good amounts of veg. If you look at your breakfast it’s literally dead of nutrients other than the egg yolk.
Hi! I want to apply this diet.but I have questions:
1-i think i have reflux.is this diet ok for me because you know fruits highly contain acid
2-what do you reccomend instead of watermelon, melom or papaya.I live in Turkey so we can not easily find them in this season.actually no exotic fruits at all.we have apple, pineapple, oranges, banana, kiwi,pear…
Thank you for your time
1) Just be careful. So day 1 if you need to ad some cook veg do so.
2) That’s OK, just pick local fruits you do OK on just not banana.
Let me know if you need any help 🙂
Hey author…i ate 5 bananas of medium size with one glass of milk instead of the suggested 3 glasses of milk…i hope the one extra banana which i ate will be compensated…is it overdose?
nope, it was medium, you are fine 🙂
Hi, I am in day 3. I am strictly following diet and every day evening I am gaining 1 kg than morning. overall I lost .5kg so far. why am i gaining in the evening and going down in the morning?
of course you are, you are weighing food, water, potty, etc. You cannot weigh in the evening, Your true weight is in the morning, after going potty, before you eat or drink a thing. Everyone would gain in the evening.
Can we have carrots on day 2?
best not to…
Hi, can I add a carrot to the wonder soup? Also is it fine to add extra tomatoes more than 3? They taste so much nicer! 🙂
try and stick to 3, and no carrot…
1.Can we supplement beef/rice as we say in the indian version of gm diet on day 5 and 6 with boiled chicken sausages?
2. And also if we can drink green tea with no sugar what is the recommended frequency and on which days of gm diet can we have it?
1) You do not get beef and rice. Beef only! Or 3 eggs per meal or chicken. DO not use rice day 5 and 6 if you are willing to eat meat.
2) yes you can, a couple of cups a day to 3 should be fine 🙂
Can we add a little powder extract of the packed soup in the gm diet soup i felt like puking otherwise 🙁 ,the packet says it has 50 cal
well it’s not the calories, who cares about calories, it the garbage they put in those. Buy pure spices and make your own, it’s easy and better.
Sorry i forgot to ask that can we supplement the beef/rice with egg whites in day 5 and 6?If yes then omelet or boiled?
NO, if you eat beef then that is it. If you eat chicken then that is it. If you eat eggs then that is it for that meal minus the veg.
Hi, thank you for the comment for my earlier inquiry!:)
I wanna ask another one though.
I was going through the diet and I screwed it at day5 evening and day6 having other foods. Do you think it’ll be okay to go through all the way again from day1 on my day7? I’d like to try as soon as possible..
Thank you!!!
‘The other foods’ that I had include processed foods containing sugar and gluten.
I’d like to start over all again on my day7 though(instead of going for day7).. would it be not work or too bad for my body?
(I don’t think I changed doing this program this time though, probably because I modified the wonder soup as I want? like adding tomatoes and carrot and reducing the amount of other veg)
Thank you so much!! 🙂
Do not change the soup that much, bad idea. you cannot have too many carbs in that soup, that’s why you can have it when you like. Adding too many carrots and cooked tomato mess up the overall point of that soup.
I would start over for sure.
I didn’t know carrots contain lots of carbs!
I just started my day1 and I am just following the recipe given, thanks 🙂
Is it okay to only have the soup the day2? The day2 is about veg and since the soup is all made of veg..
Thank you!!
They are more mid carb, the point is though that with carrots, peas and corn are typically the main 3 veg (2 of which are not even vegetables really) people it. So if we allowed those it would kill the plan. Carrots are great wit ha balanced meal, just not too many on this plan. That’s all.
soup can be eaten any day
Hello 🙂
I would continue however the diet was over and messed up at that point, sorry…
Hi,
Question again…
1. Can I eat burger patties of Mc Donald’s Big Mac on Day 5?
2. Can I eat 3 eggs instead in the morning instead of braised beef and soup? egg only without rice?
thanks:)
1) Never, please understand that food is killing your body. It’s junk, full of chemicals, etc.
2) eggs only yes, 3 per meal max.
Hi,
Had finished the 7-day plan, 60kg at first and now 53kg! Sure to keep eating good carbs, good fat, vegies and fruits! Now I’m concious with what I eat.
Thanks for your help:) You are heaven sent haha:))
Awesome news 🙂 Let me know if you ever need help…
Hello Sir,
I am following the Veg GM Diet plan and today is Day 2 of it. I have a few questions though and it would be great if you can clear it :
1). I had boiled carrot and beans, and a raw carrot on day 2. Is that fine, or will it affect my diet?
2). Milk gives you great enery and calcium, so I have 2 glasses of it without sugar during diet. is it fine?
3). Day 2 is only “Veggie Day”, so is it ok if I have a Sub for a meal?
4). Can brown rice be replaced with white?
5). When can we have fresh fruit juices?
6). And can you please tell me the recipe of “GM Wonder Soup”?
Awaiting ur reply soon. Thanks in advance!
1) No it is not fine the carrots (we say on day 2 no carrot), OK maybe. But beans? where did you read that? They are not a vegetable. That ruins the whole plan.
2) No
I will stop here, sorry I suggest reading our plan, not another and trying again…. You clearly have not read the plan well enough at all. Sorry.
Thank you for your inputs Sir. But I would be glad if you could clear one more of my doubt
How many bowls of soup should I restrict myself to on each days? And can I replace the Wonder Soup with Pure Tomato Soup?
No, nutritionally the wonder soup is basically no carbs. Pure tomato soup would be pure carbs. Do not change it like that. You can have 3 bowls ….
Can i eat boiled corn in a cob in the veggie part? Can i also saute my veggie’s in olive oil and put some salt and pepper?
no corn, yes just a touch sure. Salt, pepper, spices, herbs are great to have.
What if I follow the diet for 4 continuous weeks in order to reduce 10-15 kgs in a month?? is it gonna help??
it can, but this diet was not meant for that, however people do it.
Thnx
Hey im on 3rd day..it feels great but my periods are on so do i stick with the plan or should i stop it here?
Can we use turmeric in this diet ?if yes then all days or some specific days ? And how much (the amount ) of it?
Yes you can, spices, herbs, etc are allowed and encouraged.
Thank you for the Diet plan Sir. I am currently on the 6th Day and it feels great as I have lost few pounds.
Can you tell me what exactly can we have on Day 7 other than brown rice, fruit juice and vegetables ?
white or brown rice day 7. Spice your food as you like. Day 7 is a very base veg, rice and a little fruit day.
well my question is that i have completed 4 days of diet succesfully and lost 3 kgs…but as i moved towards day 5 my weight got stcuk…no cheatings at all… iam too much sad 🙁 as i was loosing 1 kg on daily basis…. my aim was to loose 5 kgs atleast from the diet.. and im tryng much hard for it…

kevin,
I had severe headache during my second day. I mean very severe. what could be the reason?

Hello,
I have just started the GM diet and am on the second day. On day one I just had water melon, papaya n 1 orange. But today, I’m finding it very difficult as I do not consume vegetables. So, I had potato for breakfast, corn for snack n am planning to have peas, carrot and cucumber for the rest of the day. Please do suggest me a plan without vegetables. I can have meat and fruits.
That is so far off. Sorry. Not sure what to say. No corn, no peas and no carrots. Please please read each day carefully. There is not non-vegetable plan.
Hi,
1. When does the actual weight loss start during GM. I am in my 4 day. Just lost 1 kg.
2. I am addicted to coffee… so since I started gm have been having black coffee with no sugar. Is that ok..?
3. Can I drink ‘readily available fruit juice’ like real and tropicana available here in India.
1) you did not lose weight, your day 2 was so far off. Sorry.
2) plain coffee fine.
3) Tropicana is just pure sugar. not good. frseh only.
can i eat curd rice on 5th 6th and 7th day.
can i have moong and gram sprout on 6th and 7th day.
day 5 and 6 only with curd
day 6 yes and day 7 rice only.

Day 5 went well.
Day 6:
Breakfast with some sprouts and chopped veggies in it.(Do I need to take good fat here also?)
Lunch: Brown rice , curd and Dal
Dinner: Brown Rice and dal(Good fat will be Ghee.)
Is it fine?
Looks good, a little good fat would be best with breakfast…
can i add curd with breakfast or buttermilk?
curd is fine
one more thing, sprouts should be measured uncooked one bowl, right?
And likewise if i m taking sprouts in BF, I have to reduce brown rice in lunch, right?
correct. yes reduce the rice if you add sprouts
I have started gm diet vegetarian. Today is the 3 day. I am having severe headache and took medicine and continuing the diet.

Can I have pumpkin soup any day.
Can we add groundnuts to salad.
coconut water is fine. no pumpkin soup. no nuts. Sorry… The headaches can happen the first few days
Can we use tofu and fresh green beens in the diet.

Thank you Author. Some more clarifications needed.
On day 4, can we have banana with milk one time , another time banana with curd with little salt and chilli powder.

On day 5 and 6 for dinner can we have boiled black chickpeas or boiled channa dal.
1) yes on day 4
2) yes on the soup day 4
3) yes you can have that day 5 with good fat
Thx for the great diet, i just finished the seven days and really feel the change, my question is can i have pizza in day 8 then go back to normal healthy regime in day 9 , thx 🙂
define your health regime, because because would not be something I could ever define as health. Please explain 🙂
On day 5 onwards can I have breakfast like upma made out of semolina, or idly, or sabudana kichadi or poha.
NO, semolina is wheat, it’s junk and unless you want to gain weight please stick to our plan. Rice is allowed or legumes. They can be cooked in different ways.
Can I have quinoa or foxtail millet on day 6 and 7.
yes
Good improvement. Feeling light. Leg pain reduced.
Is fruits like apple, oranges and musk melon allowed on
Days 5, 6, 7.
yes and no, please read each day carefully, you will see when fruit is allowed.
There is no mention of fruits on day 5 and 6. So no fruits on this day, only on day 7. Am I correct.
Correct 🙂
Please let me know today is my day 6,
1. Can I have curd rice for dinner
2. Can I have boiled black channa and boiled groundnuts for dinner.
1) yes
2) yes with good fat no nuts.
I completed day 7 yesterday. I have lost only 2 kg after 7th day. On 6th day I had lost 3kg but after the 7th day diet , l think due to more quantity of eating the weight has increased.
well not so much qty and it was not likely real weight gain. What did you eat day 7?
I had white rice with mixed vegetables, dal and curd, apple, watermelon juice, orange.
there is no dal really, just white rice, veg and fruit. No curd either. You may need to re-read day 7.
Thank you for the advice. I will do the diet again next month.
Can you please suggest what is the alternative to bread, oats, cereal for breakfast after completing the diet for vegetarians. Can we eat them at least once in a month.
eat them as you wish, however you need to understand the consequences, even if you eat them once a month. For example if you have an auto immune reaction to gluten, 1 tiny exposure can last for months. Alternatives. cereal? I mean there is no replacement, it’s pure junk food. If you eat eggs then great. If not millet, white organic rice, etc are better as a part of a balanced meal. Look at the top 2 posts here. http://gmdietforums.com/forums/gm-diet-after-day-7.6/
Hi
Today is Day 1 for me which is very tough. I am feeling acidic. Can you pls suggest what can I do to ease day 1? Also, can we really have the wonder soup on Day 1?
the soup yes for day 1, any day you can have. Add some cucumber in maybe with the soup. Just reduce the fruit some.
Also for day 2, eating raw vegetables will be very tough. can all my meals only be either boiled, sauted veggies or wonder soup?
cook them yes for sure. they do not have to be raw.
Hi I accidentally ate avocado on day 1. I’m on day 2 now. Should I restart the diet plan? I have also eaten 2 carrots on day 2
just keep going.
hey thnx author for all ur support 🙂
I had chickpeas and corns on day 2 for lunch. Rest of the day i had cucumber, lettuce, radish, carrot.
I also had tea in evening coz f severe headache.
Should i drop or continue my diet?
Drop and start over. Corn would have been OK to deal with, but chickpeas are not.
can I take ice apple(borassus flabellifera)
On day 1
no, best to wait on that one.
Hi Author,
1 -Can i have corriandor chutney ( made with raw corriander leaves, garlic, one tomato, green chillie and little tamarind – all grinded together with little salt) in the diet on day 2, 5, 6, and 7?

Hello

Nice plan 🙂
Hi, can I use some spices like chilly powder / chat masala with fruits on the 1st day of the plan?
assuming the spices are pure, go for it.
Good Day, I’m finishing up day 1 and getting ready for day 2.
Dear Author, I was hoping you could give clarification as to on which days the soup is allowed? According to the instructions I have, the soup isn’t to be eaten until Day 4.
Have been researching which fruits and vegetables are okay to be eaten with this cleansing diet and unfortunately I have found out that there are websites that are misleading, for example they list Avocado as a fruit okay to be eaten on Day 1 and Carrots okay for Day 2 but I saw your comments and that you said NO to carrots. Also for the soup, the recipe I have lists Lipton Onion soup mix for flavoring, is that okay?
The GM Diet instructions might need to be overhauled with additional details. Like how many ounces is 1 glass (my assumption is 8 oz), then making the soup, what quantities are to be used? Perhaps it doesn’t matter how big the cabbage head is or how much celery is used or if the onions are while or yellow and if I think the onions are large but really they are small in others eyes…. I must be over thinking things… Looking forwards to your reply, please don’t be too hard on me 🙂
If the quantities were vital we would say, so assume there is flexibility. As far as other sites, you may want to ask them… or perhaps maybe they don’t offer support and just happened to throw up an altered version of the real plan here. I will say if you are following other plans, I cannot help any further. Good luck 🙂
I hope whatever you do goes well for you.
I figured out the answer to my 1st question, but what about the 2nd one:
2) Is it okay to use Lipton Onion soup mix for flavoring?
I’m on this website for a reason. I was searching for the original GM Diet Plan and thought this was the correct website, hence I was asking you (the Expert) questions.
If you don’t see them here don;t do them. This is not a fat free plan. However day 1 for example avocado is pure fat. So it is not the same ta ll as an apple. I suggest no on the soup mix. full of chemicals msg, all things that harm the body and eventually affect your weight overall. However gather your own pure herbs and spices and use as you wish any day.
Asking me questions is great. I can though only answer for what’s here 🙂
eat the soup anytime you need more food.
Eat the osup any day you wish
Thank you, that was helpful.
Q1) Eat the soup any time beginning on Day 4, correct?
Is my understanding correct that the soup is not eaten on Day 1, 2, and 3?
Q2) could you confirm please, I can eat potatoes as many as I like? I should probably not only eat them but mix with other veggies, but the potatoes tasted so good for breakfast! 😀
Oh I just saw you said eat the soup ANY DAY you wish! Awesome!
yep the soup is basically carbless almost, so it’s fairly base, high in fiber so it goes down nicely.
I’m on Day 2
q2: no, potato (all tubers) are a no unless for breakfast day 2. They are pure carbs and starch so cannot replace or be added to regular mixed veg. Make sure you have good fat with it like ghee or olive oil to balance it out in the body.
okay, got it.
Day 2 – Potatoes and spat of butter only for breakfast the rest of the day eat veggies and the GM Diet Soup as desired!
Thanks again. Oh and by the way, I lost 3.2 lbs after Day 1! Really like it that this diet makes you THINK about what you are shoving into your mouth!
it sure does 🙂
Nice loss….
hiiii
today is my 5th day..
i am a pure vegetarian
had tomato juice in the morning and curd in the mid-morning
planing to have 1 cup rice with fried soya chunks with curd in the afternoon and tomato soup in the evening.
is it kk?
can i repeat the same on day 6 and day7…
plz reply as soon as possible
well tomato juice is not really a good idea, pure carbs as opposed to raw tomatoes not as bad, add in a vegetarian sub for meat and you are basically having a pure carb day. no soya chunks, stick with curd and some rice. day 6, no tomato, go other veg, but the rice and crud works. day 7 no, just follow what we have originally, it is a vegetarian day rice only with veg and fruit.
Hi
On my 2nd day I would like to have veg salad..can I add little lemon juice to the salad? I am not sure if can add or not bcos fruit juices are allowed only on 7th day right? Kindly advise..thanks
lemon is fine any day, great to put in water, etc 🙂
Dear author
Can I have my protein shake along with the plan
no sorry, the plan is specific for a reason
Actually sir i have had some on day 2. Obviously I won’t go for it again but will it affect the weight loss in any way
yes it sure can, at the same time keep going I guess. please just stick to the basics of the plan.
Dear Author,
Would the following plan be okay for Day 5 and Day6?
Day 5
Breakfast: 3 whole eggs and soup
Lunch: 5 oz grilled Chicken, raw sliced Tomato and soup
Dinner: 5 oz grilled Steak, raw sliced Tomato and soup
No snacks – soup as desired.
Day 6
Breakfast: 3 whole eggs, green beans
Lunch: 4 oz grilled Chicken, 1/2 cup of cooked long grain white rice, veggies
Dinner: 4 oz grilled Chicken, 1/2 cup of cooked long grain white rice, veggies
No snacks – soup as desired.
no day 6 you do not get rice and meat. Meat only.
rest is great
I’m on my last 20 oz of water for the day, would peppermint tea be okay to drink as substitution for water? Would it be okay to sweeten the tea with stevia?
or could also Truvia be used? label says it’s a Stevia leaf extract called Erythritol.
I saw in some of your previous answers that you recommend Stevia for sweetening, however, I was wondering if Stevia is allowed to be used any day or only once in a while?
For example I like sweetened tea instead of coffee in the morning or any time of the day, is it okay to use Stevia daily?
I value your opinion and thank you in advance.
never Truvia. use a pure organic stevia. Erythritol is an alcohol based sweetener. However the totally manufacture theirs, just not good. stevia daily is OK…. just don’t over use it. It’s a potent herb.
yes it is 🙂
Okay, thank you 🙂
Hi Author
Small change in diet plan, need give your approval:
Day 5: Breakfast – Half cup white rice with veggietable ( bottle guard cooked in small olive oil with onion, tomatoes, green chilli , salt and turmeric).
Lunch – Half cup rice, one small bowl dal and cabbage steam cooked with tomato and olive oil.
Dinner – Half cup rice with curd or only dal.
looks great
Can I eat pineapples on the first day of the diet?
yes
Hi, is it okay to eat sweet potato on day 3?
no
Hello,
I did this diet n i also lost 5 kgs but i gained the same back in the next 2.5 weeks though i dont eat much and i excercise daily ..i am so morose and also disappointed in myself i really want to loose but the effects though incredible were so temporary ,does that mean i have to do this diet every month or so? What do you suggest ,i am so worriied 🙁
eating less is not necessarily good. what does a day look like for you when it comes to what you eat?
Dear Author,
Day 7 is approaching and I’m second guessing myself.
Question 1: This is my plan, would you take a look and if you see anything wrong would you please let me know (I have prepared 1 cup dry long grain white rice (cooked with spinach) to be spread over 3 meals).
Breakfast: Rice, 4oz cauliflower, and a 8oz of Honey Dew Melon
Snack: 1 glass (8oz) of Apple Juice
Lunch: Rice, 4oz green beans, and 8oz of Cantaloupe Melon
Snack: 1 glass (8oz) of Apple Juice
Dinner: Rice, 8oz asparagus, and an apple
Continue to drink 10-12 glasses of water.
Question 2: Are the meal quantities acceptable?
Question 3: Is it okay to drink herbal tea as substitution for water?
Thank you for your time replying!
herbal tea is great, try and do 2 – 6oz apple juices. All else is great.
Hi author
Post 7th day can we eat chapati made with wheat flour + raagi flour + bajra flour + naachni flour in the ratio of 2:1:1:1. ? we are used to eating chapatis as it makes us feel light. raagi, bajra , naachni are all healthy legumes flour.
No wheat flour unless you want to gain weight. What you do after is a personal choice, up to you. please stick to the plan, read our day 7.
Hi sir,
Am I allowed to eat fruits on Day 6 and 7?
Thanks.
day 7 only
HI. I just started the diet Friday morning. It’s now Saturday night, so Day 2 is coming to a close. I did everything I was supposed to.. Day 1 I just had mangos, blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, an orange, a guave and 2 grapefruit – plus the recommended glasses of water. but this morning around 11 am, for the start of Day 2, I had broccoli, a few slices of carrot, and then a can of chick peas and fava beans.. stupid! I didn’t realize I wasn’t supposed to have thosse beans and chick peas until i googled and found this page. Has this ruined my diet plan? is there anything I can do to counteract it? I’ve only ad light greens since that one mistake.
thanks
yes, they are pure carbs and not vegetables. the first few days are detox and beans are not OK. Sorry.
No counter, the effects are lasting. You can continue if you want, you could still lose.
Can I have maggi noodles on day seven?
no
so since i accidentally ate the beans for breakfast on Day 2 this morning, should I start over tomorrow morning as Day 1? or continue as Day 3 tomorrow?
I would wait 24 hours and then start day 1…
Hi. I plan to start the diet from tomorrow. Is it okay to workout when I follow the diet. Normally my workout consists of 30 mins Cardio everyday and different workout like biceps, abs etc on each day of the week. I don’t use more than 4 kg for any workout. Is that fine?
Hello
No, you have no protein for rebuilding torn down muscles. So keep it light the first few days…
for the final day, re: drinking fruit juices. can I just put fruits in a blender and liquefy them? or should I be drinking standard orange juice, apple juice, cranberry juice, etc?
that’s good, just don’t overdo the fruits…
Can I have Capsicum the day vegetables could be taken?
yes
Dear Author.
I started the diet yesterday and I am on day 2, How ever I have gained, is that normal in the first few days ??
The first few days are normally the best. When did you weigh? Did you just eat fruit day 1?
Yes I just had fruits
How you mean the first few days are the best?
folks tend to lose more the first 4 day or so…
Hi. ok I am on day 5 today (11:42 am eastern standard time). I’ve had one tomato so far. but on other sites, and on the day 5 link on this page, it says I can eat beef. I find this very confusing since I thought I was only supposed to have 6 – 7 tomatoes and a cup of rice? and is is a cup of uncooked rice or a cup of cooked rice?
thanks
No, have you actually read our program, day 5? This is a meat eating program days 5 and 6. Seems like you are following other programs and asking questions here.
https://www.gmdietworks.com/general-motors-diet/gm-diet-day-5.html
ah ok I must be on a different – but very similar – plan. it’s basically indentical to this one except for the beef.
what can i eat instead of tomato and banana beczz i dont like to eat these 2?
plzz sugest me somthing elkse
tomato, just pick another veg and banana just pick another fruit, no big deal..
I’m on Day 6 right now, and it’s 10:45 pm here.
I had a 1/2 cup of rice cooked for lunch with some broccoli. a bell pepper, sliced, and then for dinner around 6 pm. I had the rest of the broccoli. I’m going to boil up one full zucchini now, but is it ok to have the other 1/2 cup of rice cooked now this late at night? (I’m going to be up until around 1 am doing some work.)
sure, it’s not ideal though. Are you having good fat with these meals?
Hi,
COuld you please help me with these queries:
1) Can there be a replacement for potato breakfast for day 2?
2) Eating 1-2 walnuts on day 1/2 – how good/bad is that for the diet?
3) Can we have a combo of red kidney beans and brown rice with tomatoes?
Thanks
1) another tuber like sweet potato, etc
2) no
3) yes with good fat to replace meat
Hi,
One more query..can you please confrm if the following will be considered as vegetables for day 2 and 3 of this diet:
cauliflower, carrot, pumpkin, beetroot, baby corn, fenugreek leaves(methi), spring onions
green beans.
Thanks
no pumpkin, no carrot, no babycorns
On day 1 i put on 500gms — what could be the reason
what time of the day did you weigh, did you eat only fruits?
Yup only fruits… Weighed myself at 5:00 pm…. This is my regular time when I weigh myself. Could excess water nd or fruits might have caused this increase
5pm? you cannot weigh like that 🙂
that is not a true weight. it’s when you wake, after going potty, before you eat or drink a thing.
Dear author,
I completed a regime of GM diet and lost only 1kg but I did not excercise at all.
I am 5 feet 1 inch and weigh 55 kgs.
Do you think I would loose more weight next time if I excercise.
Thanks
not necessarily. When do you weigh? What did you eat day 2 and 5?
Hey
Can you give tips on how to maintain the weight lost after gm diet because when i did this diet last time i gained the weight back almost instantaneously .. Plz help!!
What does a normal day look like for you?
Morning breakfast -bread/idli/dosa etc
Lunch -sabzi roti (sometimes no roti)
Snacks-any bread stuff(sandwitch or something)
Dinner-i skip (otherwise roti subzi)
Also i love to eat chicken so sometimes that in either lunch/dinner if i have that too
Unfortunately if I were going to advise someone to gain weight I would say eat this way. Your diet is pure carbs, not to mention the wheat is so bad for you. If you are going to eat wheat, I am truly sorry I just cannot help. I just don;t know how. However if you want me to still put a plan together I will…
The thing is i live in a hostel so i have no choice but to eat mess food (even though i don’t want to eat it ) i did the diet but then i have to eat something which is available i can’t even get stuff n cook myself as it is not allowed for long in the hostel plus i dont have any time to cook all three meals .. I don’t know what to do m stuck 🙁
The best i can do is to tell you everything in my mess food timetable n then can you tell me what to eat from that what not to n whether this food will even work for me ..so shall i tell you my full timetable exactly?
please do 🙂
you just have to do your best 🙂
what kinds of foods do they have there? hang in there…
hi,
i had dark chocolate on the 3rd day of GM diet.
shall i still continue or redo the diet :0
pls reply asap
just keep going…
Hi, i’m on my day two on GM diet. yesterday i only ate apples in the morning. melons in lunch.. orange in afternoon. and again melons and apples in the evening.
Today (2nd day) i ate one big sweet potato in the morning (half) and the other half i ate it as my snack. at lunch i ate century tuna flakes in oil with veggies.. im planning to eat cucumber and tomato this evening instead of brocolli coz i ate so much potato the whole day i think.
i’m a bit confused about the tuna flakes in oil with veggies. you think it’s ok?
No it was not OK – the tuna flakes. neither was potato 2 times. Try and stick to the plan as we have it.

Hello SIr
I think it’s a very nice plan.
I have one question
I have just joined the gym for weight loss.
I do some cardio and weight training.
Will I feel weak after exercising? If yes, then should I increase my fruit/vegetable intake or add some other thing to the diet.
Thanks in advance
you just cannot tear down muscles if you have no protein. the first few days are detox…. so just keep it light
Hello author
I have followed Gm diet very strictly 1st times (las week) But just lose 1.8 ponds. I dont know why. I did gym as well.I drink almost 7 bottle of water which is (500ml)/bottle.
I startded GM diet this week as well but haven’t seem any differences. now I am frusted and I had exactly TWO BITES of pasta. Is it okay to still continue this diet. And is it oaky to have other food just one bite only. I am goin to marry On may 18 I have to lose atlist 13 pounds please give me some suggestions.
You have to stick to this plan. It’s vital that you do not eat junk food like wheat, pasta, etc in any amount. When do you weigh yourself? I would wait a day and start over 🙂
Thank you But do I have to start from 1st fruit day. or can I just continue with my forth day?
Up to you, you can keep going 🙂

Hello Author

No on avocado. Apple and buttermilk great. no it is not necessary on the soup. When do you weigh? Do not under eat, less is not better. What did you eat day 2.
On second day Breakfast: Half Baked Potato, Lunch Veggie Soup (no oil, less salt, balckpaper, cumin powder, Dinner Roasted Zucchini and roasted Carrots.
Day 3: Breakfast apple, lunch melon and orange, Eving veggie soup.
But still not happend any weight loss not Single Pound. I went to gym Monday and Today As well 30 min walking. But whole day Nothing much ( I am working on reaserch paper) so all time in sit infront of laptop. Can you please Email ME if I can do anything extra to do weight loss I have to lose
15-18 pounds
When do you weigh? Everything looks good yet there seems to be one huge miss. the good fat day 2. This is not a fat free plan, that fat is vital for weight loss.
Hello I have submitted my answer but dose not seen here. I had.
2nd day: Brakfast baked potato half( but no oil or butter), lunch Veggie soup and dinne roasted carrots and zucchini.
3day: Apple orange apple and veggi soup
I did not loose pound. I weight myself every day morning
I do alternate day gym like walking on treadmill. But rest of the day I will sit in front of my laptop doing my work. I want to loose 15 pounds can you please suggest me something why my weight not losing.
here are the answers again…
1) the good fat was vital, this is not a fat free plan.
2) seems light on food, less is not better.
when are you weighing?
I weight every morning. I don’t understand fat vital means can you explain me more and thank you for helping with each questions I really apriciate that you are taking time for each answer all queries.
Fat is needed for weight loss. Good fats are vital for your hormones, immune system and how your body functions. Obviously I could spend a ton of time on this subject. People make a big mistake on this plan staying fat free too long, the fat was added that day for reason. Happy to help…
Thank you author
What are the good fat? And tomato soup is okay with onion added?
because in this paln no oil no butter, or use less amount of oil
Well you are replacing meat. So you need fat. Ghee, grass fed butter, palm oil or coconut oil. Bad oils all vegetable oils like canola, safflower, etc. Tomato soup pure carbs really so just not too much day 5, none day 6.
hi author
i had cesearea delivery 4 years back but i still have a big belly is there anything to reduce it pls advice
did yo look at my last reply?
hii
this is second tym i am following the gm diet. i hav reduced almost 3.5 kg in mi first attempt and i am maintaining my weight…
i have few doubts plz clear it out
1. on second day can i have beetroot,onion?
2.on day 4 can i hav tomato soup?
3. i am a pure vegetarian.. can i have the whole one cup of basmathi rice with fried soyachunks? can u plz measure the qty of one cup.
4.last tym mi weight has reduced only during the first 4 days… can u plz suggest a gud diet to be followed during the last 3 days..
1) onion great, a little beet root yes.
2) no, you can have a similar soup to what we show.
3) no soya, it’s not a pure health food. It’s heavily machined and processed
4) Legumes with good fat instead of meat. not rice
thank u ..
sir can u plz list some legumes that i can intake during this course…
none unless you are vegetarian. then you can have them days 5 and 6. lentils, black beans, pinto beans, chickpeas, etc.
Hi ! M on my 3rd day of gm diet.. I lost 2pounds after day one but no weight loss after day2 even when I strictly followed d diet widout making any cheat…just want to know if it’s normal dat sum people might not lose weight after day 2? Which days during dis diet we can observe weight loss??
Any day, even if it does not show up on the scale right away. Meaning excessive salt for example can cause water retention and you may not show losses 1 day even though you did lose fat. Keep going… What did you eat day 2?
I had cucumber and cabbage for breakfast,cumber n wonder soup n same menu I followed for dinner. Along wid 12glasses of water. Can I sprinkle lil salt on d veggies??
yes you have to have salt, especially drinking 12 glasses of water which flushed out minerals from the body. So salt, pepper, spices, herbs are OK.
i accidently had banana on my first day of gm diet plan 🙁 Is there any problem ? I had a fruit salad which contained bananas.. pls reply.. almost had 1 banana
you can keep going
From Which Vegetable we can replace asparagus?
Can I drink green Tea?
tea fine no sweetener unless it’s stevia. Asparagus? peppers, onion, zucchini, etc
Hi ,
I am on day 2 today.. I had 3 biscuits last night becoz i have having severe headache.. umm do i need to restart the diet? plzzz let me knowww!!
you do, sorry….
Hi,
I’m on day 2, I ate potato with olive oil at 6am, but wasn’t able to finish it so I ate it when I arrived in the office at 8am. Is it okay? or should I start all over again?
you are fine 🙂
Oh thank you!
Hey, im not sure if i understood correctly, can i do this diet plan for as long as i want, i mean 2 weeks or 3 weeks eating the same continuously? or it’s meant to be used only one week and then wait for 2 or 3 weeks until i get to use it again? .. I’ll be doing this diet also with Insanity exercise routine, is it okay? or it’s too much? i’ve done the insanity before and it’s hard but i don’t know if is safe with this diet?
Thanks, looking forward on starting on monday.
you will do better if you wit 1 to 2 weeks in between plans long term. However in between that time eat like day 6 perhaps- staying sugar and gluten free eating balanced meals with carbs, protein and good fats. with lots of good veg.
Hello, I am in day 3 of the GM fief and have not lost any weight (I weigh myself in the morning)
I think it is because I have no eaten a lot and not drank enough water. Should I stop and start again or continue and just make sure I eat enough and drink enough of water for the remaining 4 days??
yes start over, make sure you follow the plan carefully here 🙂
Thank you so much for your quick response!! Also, I ate the soup but did not like it at all and can’t bring myself to eat it. Can I not eat the soup but follow the rest of the plan? If so, will I still loose the same amount of weight if I dont eat it
you will be fine, you do not have to eat the soup.
can i have some curd rice during 2 day or some idly etc as i am willing very tried .
pls recommed me
no not at all actually. the potato and good fat should have really helped.
Dear,I skip my snacks on 2nd day diet because of my office work..is it OK?
sure 🙂
I didn’t find brocolli so can I eat just another thing from ur diet in dinner?today is my 2nd day…
sure, you can mix up the veg as you need 🙂
Can I drink tea in d evening…I really need it
yes- no sweetener unless it’s stevia.
Should I also boiled cauliflower?
sure cook as you want
My height is 5’1 and after marriage m gaining weight now its 72….I want to be 50 kg is it possible and if yes so how much tym?
this diet yes can hopefully help, however you need more than a diet – a lifestyle change will be needed. so the diet should point you in that direction
I have to much fat on upper arm,thigs and butt…this diet will give me d good shape na?
it can help, if you carry weight in a few areas like that predominantly it can be a sign of minor health issues with estrogen problems or high cortisol. it can vary
And last question can I take rusk with tea?
no, not unless you want weight. this program 1 is gluten free, next is natural based.
I don’t have any health issue bt according to my height my fat is just deposit in particular area
It’s not common for weight to do that actually unless there is an underlying issue. Likely you have not been given a comprehensive hormone test or you would have known. However, then eat right, change lifestyles with food and cut all gluten and sugar. that will target it.
From this diet I’ll be able for good shape then?
It’s a start, the rest is up to you.
Thnxxx alot….m not feeling so hungry so should I skip diet as I want?
less is not better so be careful
Thnxxx alot…..
Dear may I eat apple with milk on forth day…I hate banana…and agn mag I skip snaks?
sure thing 🙂
K may I skip snakes naa?its not compulsory?
yes but keep in mind less is not better
Dear like tomorrow is my fifth day…and in lunch soya chunks eating method is socking or what?I don’t understand plzz tell me….I love d way u explain….thnkuuuuu so much m losing 4 kg in just 4 days…..
well look at soya chunk ingredients. Pure junk, nothing truly natural about it, it’s machined and overly processed in order to try and turn it into something edible. then imagine how your body reacts when eating it. nice losses so far 🙂
And I do not find brown rice so may I eat white rice with masur daal…?
white rice with lentils (Spices fine) is a fine combo but you get less rice obviously adding lentils.
hello, i have few questions,
1. can i have vegetables on day 1, instead of fruits?
2. on days 4,5,6 can i have rice with sprouts sabji (for dinner or lunch )?
3. soup i make is like this :
half boiled 1/2 onion + 1/2 tomato + some cabbage, then grind it with black pepper, add remaining onion and tomato(as topping)
is this ok?
4.can i have plain tomato soup on any of 7 days(mainly on day 1,2 and 3)?
1) sure
2) No, please read the program carefully, that does not even work for day 4. days 5 and 6 yes with good fat added.
3) great
4) nope, not at all.
sorry i meant on day 5,6 and 7
hi,
its a silly question, but please do help,
actually i like tomato and cucumber(mostly tomato) very much ,so i eat/prefer more of them, instead of other vegs(i eat other vegs, but in small quantity), is that a problem? also is there a day in 7 day diet plan where i cannot eat tomato/cucumber?
as long as the tomato is raw then yes you can eat them. but do not over do the tomato. cucumber have as much as you like.
Hi Dear,
I am on the third day. I didn’t weigh myself, but I feel light. One question is on my second day I didn’t add good fat in breakfast, lunch I had veg salad , I cocked veggies(cabbage, brinjal, green pepper) in olive oil and had as dinner. Is it ok. or I did wrong??.
And for 5th day can I take egg omelet for breakfast and chicken for both lunch n dinner
Please help me..
it’s OK, but that potato was a must with good fat. never eat a starchy carb without it having some fat to balance it. yes on day 5 that is great
I missed good fat…I need to drop the plan n start again??
no, keep rolling, at least you had some later that day 🙂
1. Are lentils (daal, sprouts – moong daal, grams sprouts, kidney beans) allowed as vegetables? 2. Can these be added to the wonder soup?
3. Can we add vegetables such as zucchini, carrots, and any sprouted beans, sweet potato, to the wonder soup?
4. Is boiled egg or scrambled egg preferred as meat substitute?
5. On which days can eggs be consumed and what is the recommended quantity?
1) no because they are not vegetables, understand the the nutritional makeup of beans, if you thing they are veg and eat them like veg you are overloading on carbs and will gain weight quickly. people count calories which is pointless, yet overdo carbs and it gets them in trouble. once again, no.
2) Zuc only. beans once again are not vegetables. sweet potato is a pure carb and starch not the same nor the point of the soup.
3) yes better then legumes by far, 3 max per meal.
4) days 5 and 6
Thanks for the reply, I have few more questions, as I am a vegetarian (can consume eggs),
1. So from your previous reply, I can have eggs on day 5 and 6 (2-3 eggs per meal). What about day 7?
2. Can I add scallions, Brussels sprouts, beet, carrot to the wonder soup?
3. I read the vegetarian GM diet, it says we can have brown rice, red kidney beans (can be substituted for beef), legumes (which I understand are sprouted by soaking overnight and then drain and keep them in a cloth for sprouting) and tomatoes and paneer or ghee or olive oil – please confirm this. How much rice is recommended? (e.g. 1 cup raw rice or cooked rice? is not clear when the plan says 1 cup brown rice)
4. Is coconut water (boxed type – I usually use Vita Coco) allowed?) which days and how much, if yes?
5. Is yogurt or fruit yogurt allowed on any days for vegetarian diet?
6. Can vegetables be sauteed and garnished with some spices, lime and salt?
1) correct. no eggs day 7
2) no carrot, yes to rest
3) that is correct, a cup of rice uncooked. however if you had legumes/beans it’s less rice. to me do eggs or legumes not rice.
4) any day yes. no more than 2..
5) yogurt can replace milk day 4 and act as good fat days 5 and 6. follow Indian version bottom of the site.
6) yes go for it, spice em’ up – you can also use peppers, scallions or garlic.
Hey author. I tried this diet. Today is my day 7 and I lost 4 kg. I really want to lose another 4 kg before I go back to my country. Can I do this again after a week? If not, why?
a week wait works here 🙂
Can I have a sprouts on any day when I’m following gm
Or
Can I have a sprouts salad while following gm diet
Salad (cucumber, tomato, onion, green chilli, LITTLE salt)
yes for sprouts on days 5 and 6 with good fat. Sprouts are not vegetables they are legumes hence pure carbs still, and a little protein. the salad is great. You can use pure dried herbs and spices as you like.
Can I have a sprouts on day 1,day 2, day 3, day 4 when I fell hungry
no not at all…
please read the plan here carefully. You cannot have a pure carb food like that when you like. Especially not on this plan.
Ok
Thnx for guide me……
hello,can i eat a little portion of fruit on day 2 because i dont eat vegetables all day,
no not at all sorry, fruit does not replace vegetables. fruit is full of sugar and pure carbs, if you only ever eat fruit, it will eventually cause weight issues.
I accidentally had a sip of coke, should i continue or start all over again. I am on my third day.
just a sip try and keep going….
CAN WE HAVE TOMATO KETCHUP FOR VEGETABLES
no not unless you want to gain weight it’s pure junk food and sugar. This is a health program, pure and natural foods, sorry..
Can I swap day 4 and 5? I’m going to a cook out on Day 4 and hoping I can eat a hamburger patty (without bread) and some tomatoes.
you can try it sure…
you can have peppers, onions, lettuce and even some pure mustard as well fyi…
thank you for such a prompt reply! I really appreciate it!
Hi author:
I’m on my second day of the GM diet, i would like to know if it is ok to eat sweet potato as snack during the 2nd day? Thanks
no sorry
Can I drink water on day 4?
yes
1. Can I drink green tea (Lipton green tea with just warm water) if yes is there any limit ? I love to drink green tea (no sugar or honey or milk , just green tea bag in water)
2. is there any limit on how many fruits I need to eat first day?
3. I work in call centre and start working 3PM to 2 AM, does it matter or can I treat 3PM as my morning and continue the diet?
4. How many eggs can I eat (does it mean egg with yolk or just white?) instead of beaf? is it suppose to be boiled or raw ? what can be substitute for tomatoes or can i just glind them and drink like juice with no sugar but Lemon+Salt+black pepper?
5. I love sugar cane, can I have sugar cane? if yes what day?
6. Is Yogurt lassi allowed (Salt + Black Pepper) if yes what day
7. I live own my own so cooking isnt very easy, can i just increase the food/water intake for any specific day instead of making soup? when i mean increase doesnt mean add anything new just increase the quantity of veggies etc.
1) Lipton is not great, try a more pure herbal tea, however yes you can have plain green tea.
2) not really
3) Do your best. Yes, if you are not in bed at the right times, it affects you health hand weight just as much as the food you eat. Keep that in mind if one day you can be on a normal time.
4) 3 eggs whole max per meal. No juice, just pick another veg, things can be cooked as you like.
5) No, not unless you want to gain weight
6) day 4 instead of milk
7) increasing veg instead of soup is fine. So add cucumber,s onion or more peppers to any dish to season them 🙂
Hi author! This is my day 2. There is still no change in my weight. :-(.
On day 1 I had musk melons, blue berries, water melon and 2 mangoes.
And on day 2 I had vegetable salad and have been munching on carrots.
On which day will I be able to see a difference in my weight? Please tell me.
day 2 seems light and no carrots. did you eat the potato and good fat for breakfast? when do you weigh?
Hey author, so I haven’t started this diet yet but I was wondering some things
1. what type of meet do you recommend? Can I do turkey or does it have to be beef? (what % of fat?)
2. A lot of people are asking about carrots.. are these yay or nay?
3. Whenever eating veggies on the diet, does it matter whether they are cooked/steamed or raw?
Thanks so much! Can’t wait to start!
1) turkey is great, any part is fine fish and eggs are great as well.
2) nope, because folks over do them.
3) it does not matter…
Good luck
Keep me posted!!!
Hi,
I have the following questions about the diet.
1) Is it a strict restriction that we shouldn’t eat any fruit on the second day?
2) Throughout the diet, can we replace fruit juices with fruits?
3) is there a specific amount of beef that we can eat on the 5th and 6th days?
I’m currently on my second day, have lost 2lbs already. But honestly it’s a little bit hard for me to have no fruits (sweet) on this day.
Thank you.
Hello
1) No fruit unless we say
2) not at all the same, fruit juice is a great way to gain weight if you drink often.
3) 4 to 5 oz or so per meal.
Sorry, if you eat too much fruit not good long term
Thank you!
For #2, as you say raw fruits are less likely to cause weight gaining than fruit juices, I want to know if I can eat raw fruits instead of drinking fruit juices on days that juices are allowed?
yes, you can have raw fruit when we say, we even say on days 3 and 7 a little fresh fruit juice is OK. However drinking fruit juice is concentrated fruit and sugar, So say a glass of apple juice is many apple instead of just one. You should never eat more than 2 or 3 real servings of fruit a day. People over do fruit.
Thanks. I think I got what you mean. But then why our diet says there is no limit to the amount of fruits we eat on the 1st and 3rd days?
day 1 no limit really, day 3 it has a limit as we have it 🙂
I see. thank you!
hi , today is my first day m feeling good. my question is is it necessary to take a potato tmrw as m not hungry ( actually determined) no lyk is it necessary part of diet den I love to have it
the starchy carb in the morning with good fat is very important. plantains or sweet potato works.
Hi, i have too many questions. Sorry. Please help!
1. Is exercising really important on all the days? I don’t move so much and can I do the gym cycle on 3-4 days just for 30 mins?
2. Is having the soup really important? Is it okay if I ignore its consumption throughout the diet? If it’s important to have it atleast once, what day you suggest and how much?
3. And how many litres of water is 10-12 glasses?
4. What quantity of fruits and vegetables is allowed on first three days? How many servings?
5. What quantity of milk is allowed on day 4? How many servings?
6. Can I have less than 4 bananas on day 4?
7. Can chicken be a replacement for beef?
8. What quantities of food on last three days is allowed?
Thanks. sorry for too many questions.
1) no, you can keep it light…
2) I suggest eat it if you are hungry, do not go hungry
3) around 2…
4) please read each day carefully, we state this already
5) 3 glasses, please read that day carefully
6) less is not better, up to you.
7) yes, 4 to 5 oz per meal.
8) please read each day carefully, we tell you.
Thanks for the response. Please tell me the vegetables I can eat on day 2 & 3. I mean any specific vegetables which can help more in weight loss. Like eating melons on day 1 helped me lose a 1 kg on the first day itself.
Well basically the ones we mentioned on the site 🙂
Please read each day carefully and go from there ….
Thank you so much 😀
And you told that I can have soup when I’m hungry. Actually, when I’m hungry, I drink water and it works well. So, will the diet work without having the soup atleast once?
it sure can…
Also, I am on my second day. I by mistake had just one cheese corn nugget. Should I start over or keep going? The nugget had a bit of cheese, very slights garlic paste and corns. It had corn flour on its outside. Not wheat or flour, which has gluten in it. So, I think I should keep going. But, should I start over, since I want to lose atleast 3-4 kgs with the diet?
keep going, it ruined the detox portion of the diet for sure but hopefully you will still lose weight. Corn flour is not good.sorry
Thanks for helping me. So, today I’m on day 3. On the morning of day 2 I checked my weight. I was weighing 2 kegs less. And this morning also of day 3 I checked my weight. Both weights are same? So, it means I didn’t lose any weight on day 2? I had tomatoes, gourds, cucumbers, beet, cabbage. And I told you about the corn nugget cheat. Is that where I went wrong? Anyway, I’m happy that till day 3 I lost 2 kgs. I hope eating fats and carbohydrates in upcoming 4 days so not make me gain weight, but rather lose it.
yes the cheat killed the weight loss process basically. fats and real pure carbs trust me are not your issue. Good fats and carbs are needed. However meals must have balance, fried corn cheese balls should be your concern. I eat loads of good fat and carbs yet keep a pure Paleo style diet and feel amazing and weight is normal. It’s processed foods, bad oils, sugar and wheat that get you.
Also did you not have the potato and good fat?it was vital to losing that day…
Oh i forgot to mention that. I did have a boiled potato topped with olive oil. Then, why didn’t i lose weight?
because you cheated and eat foods that are totally off plan, you have to understand how important it is to simply follow this as is for 7 days. Corn is not healthy, especially corn flour. It throws off the balance of that day 100%, you broke the detox cycle. Sorry
Dear sir, I have these questions :
1. Can I have brown rice pulao with good fat ?.
2. Can I have idli and sambar ?
3. Salads can be dressed with low fat sauce like mustard sauce ?
4. Can I consume beans , soya products on day 6
5 After 7 days how should I follow my diet routine ? Can I do gm diet in alternative weeks ?
6. Can I eat poha ? Or rice puff
1) days 5, 6 and 7 yes
2) day 7 only
3) assuming the ingredients are fine and a dash of good fat is fine
4) no soya, nothing good about it. Beans fine with good fat days 5 and 6
5) read the top 2 posts here 🙂 http://gmdietforums.com/forums/gm-diet-after-day-7.6/
6) poha post diet is fine with a balanced meal
should i go to the gym during this diet?
we recommend keep it light, look at the bottom of the site for more details.
hi ,
i had the cucumber and tomatoes salad on day 2 for the lunch ? will it be ok.
for lunch yes, I assume you had the potato and good fat for breakfast.
Please give a substitute for banana as i dont eat bananas. Thanks
just pick another fruit
How much wait one can lost during the diet plan? if follow honestly.
tons of variables, it can vary per person, size, health issues etc. Some lose well over 10 pounds…
Hello sir. 2dy is my day 3.. I added 1 piece of fish to my dinner soup.. i cudnt resist.. great loss.. sud i start over or sud i continue.. please help
well it broke the point of the diet and how day 2 should be, however keep going.
So, today I’m on day 4. The website states that engaging in physical activities would be more productive towards weight loss. But, I’m feeling a little weak and dizzy. I have lost just 2 kgs by now. That to only on the first day. Second and third day there was no weight loss. But, my body is able to avoid weight fluctuations that I suffered on the first day. It’s like I’m not hungry, but dizzy, weak and sleepy. Will it work without exercising?
Anyway, how many litres of milk can be consumed today. And I drink 2-3 litres water on each day.
Actually, the reason behind not having the soup is that I can’t find celery. There is powdered celery at my house, will that work? How much of that should I put?
Celery seeds sorry, not powdered celery.
And, I added a cup of cabbage, 1 onion and a spoon of celery seeds. I hope it’s fine without green peppers.
Well read the bottom of the site actually, the exercise links. You are on a detox plan, so exercise it not a must, just feel it out. You are fine not working out. Do not over drink water, 2 should be fine, flushing minerals out could be your issue. I’t 3 8oz glasses of milk or so. Not every veg is a must in that soup, do your best
Thank you, so doing that sample yoga excerxise once a day would be enough?
yes 🙂
Thanks a lot. I had just 1 litre or so water today. I hope it works 🙂
was not aware that corn was to be avoided. Didn’t read well. had corn on cob on day 2 and 3. Will it be too detrimental? on day 5 today. Have not cheated other wise. Have lost about 2 kgs so far is there a possibly of losing more or should i start over?
Keep rolling, corn is junk food, a big GMO food, etc. Unless you are able to get an heirloom organic variety. You are doing well so keep rolling.
Is it ok to continue with swimming (free style 800m in 50 min) during the diet or it will be over doing with the body. Have been doing swimming since few months.
Seems to much the first few days with no protein, be careful
can i take milk tea on day 4 and onward? without sugar….and can i take K&NS chicken
tea yes like that, not likely on their chicken, think pure this week.
hi there,
didnt realise i couldnt have sweet potato day three, i had 6 wedges with seasoning of herbs no oil for lunch….is this going to make a bad dint in this diet?
also im really stuggling with the idea of so much soup day 4.
and so many tomatoes on day 5
can you suggest any alternatives?
Yes the sweet potato could hurt, too bad you did not have olive oil or good fat with it, that would have helped. The veg we say eat has no carbs really, sweet potato pure cabs. You have to eat similar nutritionally veg.
Day 4, have some raw or roasted veg, no issue.
Day 5, eat another veg then.
Thank you… Completed successfully. Am about 8 pounds lighter at the end of 7 days. Feels wonderful. Will definitely repeat 🙂
awesome!
Hi
I messed up my diet on the 1st day it self, as I had to attend a surprise party and ate pasta with lot of cheese
Do I need to start from the begining as or shall I have vegies in my second day?
Thank You

Thank you for the prompt reply
One last question, is the soup compulsory for the diet? If I am able to manage without it?
Thanks again
it’s ok without just do not under eat.
I had 3 to 4 raw carrots on the second day will it hamper the diet plan?
all should be good

Hi,
I am mostly a wheat person.
Can i have 5 chapati a day after the GM diet plan?
I cant have more amount of rice.
Both mixed together (some amount of rice and few chapati) in a day during lunch and dinner, would that be fine??
Also can i attend my dance class and do some few number of suryanamaskar during the course of diet plan??
NO, wheat is a great way to gain weight, if you are on wheat, this program is pointless – sorry.
Hi there so I started the GM diet for the second time. I believe I also did it in February and was happy with my results, and I have not gained it back. I still want to loose some more though, and just clean my body out before I start eating normal and healthy again.
Anyway I will be on day 4 tomorrow, and I am forced to go out to party with my friends because its my girlfriends birthday. And they will not not let me be sober. I tried asking them, but they said its only for one night. Do I have to start the whole diet over again if I drink alcohol tomorrow? 🙁
Or what happens if I just keep going on my diet after?
Yep, sorry. Not sure I understand being forced to drink and be unhealthy though, however this is a personal choice. I wish you well afterwards truly.
Hi, I am on Day 5 and am ou to dinner tonight – Have just checked the menu..
Is it okay to have a burger patty with salad or does this have to be just tomato?
Or Chicken and salad okay?
Thank you
either sounds ok assuming they are pure and cooked in good oils, etc.

Hi author,

that recipe is fine for days 5 and 6.
Today is my 2nd day of GM diet. Yesterday evening , I felt that my shoulders were getting heavy and at night , my shoulders started paining a bit. Today morning also, I had some pain and its still going on. Please suggest something as soon as possible. Also FYI, I have not stayed hungry. I have eaten enough fruits as per diet plan for day 1. Still I am feeling very weak and tired and my body has started paining.
Hang in there. detox plans, although this one is only 3 days at first can be tough on folks, there are tons of factors, if you need to quit do so. the good fat and potato should have helped some day 2 breakfast.
What if we don’t continue GM diet ? Do we can start gaining weight again ?
never stop a diet….
A Diet is just the kinds of food that a person, animal, or community habitually eats. Therefor if you always eat correctly you should not gain weight. This diet is the start of getting you to eat correctly, then afterwards do some research and see what else you can incorporate into your new diet.
Remember, being healthy is a lifestyle, not just something you do for 1 week.
Hence that’s why we preach lifestyle change. Good point.
Sugar Free Energy Shots?
Just junk food so it’s up to you.
Yeah, I suppose. I’m trying to find ways to stay energetic throughout the day where coffee or 5 hour is the usual go-to.
Then again, there are plenty of people who have been able to find ways to stay energetic without the use of caffeine. I’ll have to do some research.
yeah, I use coconut water, apple cider vinegar also. Do your best 🙂 Green tea with stevia works…
can i have omelette of three eggs… with tomatoes onions ??????????
days 5 and 6 sure 🙂
My weight is 60kg. I wanna loose approx 10kgs in 2months for my wedding.
I tried gm diet but i feel hungry and tried. I have started gyming daily and also zumba class 3 days in a week.
can i include almonds in my diet??
and saute veges with olive oil and use sum rai jeera in it??
I am addicted to tea. Can i have it once in the evening with sugat free tablets not sugar??? Plz reply…
sugar free tablets are a great way to ruin health and have weight/blood sugar issues. So either plain or with a pure stevia.
No almonds, have the wonder soup for extra food. pure herbs and spices are all great, hope your wedding goes well. you are likely tired over working out on a detox plan.
Sorry.. missed few questions
I have installed gm diet app. Should i start follwing it from tomorrow?? I feel extremly hungry in the night.
can i have lemon water with honey on empty stomach before going to the gym?? I have green tea thrice a day. Plz reply asap..
??? We don’t have an app so I cannot support it. Sorry you will have to email them questions. Good luck on it though 🙂
Hey.. on day 4 can i hav banana and a glass of warm milk together???
or there should be gap between..
sure make a smoothie, as you like
Hi author, thank you so much! Last time i did the diet, i lost 4 kgs…but since i had to travel a lot, and was forced to eat whatever i got, i gained all of it back due to wheat, flour, etc. I started the diet again and i am on my third day. I wanted to ask you that is it okay to eat pearl millet, barley or sorghum bicolor after the diet as a replacement for wheat in my daily food intake? This is because its is very difficult to follow the sample plans after the diet. I need some good source of energy, which is carbohydrates and fats. I cannot eat bananas, potatos or rice all the time for this. So, is that substitution of wheat allowed? Millet, barley, sorghum rotis? No wheat… 🙂 i have lost 2.5 kgs by now on the third day itself 🙂
Hello 🙂
Barley bad. The millet and sorghum are gluten free and can work. however you cannot eat pure carb snacks and meals. you not only need good fat but loads of healthy veg and PROTEIN! You need to think nutrient dense when eating, nurture the body.
Hi Kevin, thanks a lot. I have lost more than 3 Kgs by now on the fourth day itself. Thank you! Just wanted to ask If this diet suitable for kids and teens?
Nice. For kids? I suppose that’s up to the parent. I can tell you the things kids eat and drink are not at all suitable. At least the foods here are natural. may need to ask a doc.
1.) Thanks. So, for teens its fine, right?
2.) Also, millet and sorghum won’t cause any problems like goitre, etc…right? Is it a safe replacement for wheat?
3.) i cant thank you enough for this wonderful diet, i have recommended this to so many people! Its amazing! I love it <3 it has changed my life! Thanks a ton 🙂
1) I cannot say yes to that, it’s up to them.
2) Well not true, look at this post this is my test. Gluten free grains can cause a cross reaction in the body. Meaning if I eat rice my body thinks it’s wheat. Beware, I can have zero grains yet my thyroid is near healed and I am on no meds. http://thyroidboards.com/index.html/_/other-health/sample-array-4-%E2%80%93-gluten-associated-cross-reacti-r22
3) SO happy to hear 🙂 I am happy to help, just let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you! So, will excluding grain from my daily food intake cause any harm to my immune system or bring weakness? I am 15
Makes sense, I actually love it this way!
Good day,
I started the diet today. However, I didn’t get the diet plan from your website at first. I found it a few minutes ago. During the day I had apples, watermelon, mango….however, I had about 30 g of almonds…. I just wanted to know if I should start over tomorrow, or just continue with plan now that I found the real one.
Also, If I understand clearly, the soup is not mandatory, so I could go without it if I’m not hungry, right?
Thank you so much for your answers
Hello 🙂 the almonds are not correct however keep rolling all will be OK. You do not have to have the soup
Hey.. 2moro is my 4th day of gm diet.. can i hav banana and warm milk 2ghtr??? Or there should be some gap between..??
2. Cn i hav banana shake???
sure make a shake out of it, add some ice, vanilla, cinnamon, etc
Thanks a tonn for ur reply..

1. Can i use flavoured milk to make banana shake???

hi .
i have started GM diet on monday .. monday morning and lunch ..i was OK but at 6 PM i was terribly hungry .. i didnt control on myself and ate paratha .. and in dinner i ate evry thing of dinner .. dis was my third attempt and i failed 🙁 .. i m in office morning 8 to evening 6 PM ..in office .i can manage .. but at the moment when i reach home .. i cant control my hunger … and that time i dodn want to eat fruits more .. i feel my body cant resist only fruit diet .. or something else ..like my will power is not strong 🙁
but tommorrow i will try for day 1 of GM diet …
normally i eat 1 glass milk without sugar and 4 badam n kishmis 1 anjeer ( bheege hue ) at 8 AM
then 10 AM i eat breakfast like poha /upma/paratha /bread ..
11 30 AM i eat one banana /papaya /watermelon/melon/pomogranate /corn
1: 00 pM lunch : 2 roti sabji ..salad:cucumber and beat sometime carrot/ corn /pomogarante and + 1 apple
and then i take nothing till 6 PM (no tea also )
and when i reach home i beacome hungryy .. and whatever in my home ..i want to eat … sometimes i make tea (without sugar ) and some biscuits/dalmoth/ snacks

10 pm i go to bed …
i really hungry id day 1 ..my whole body in pain when i didnt eat roti .. its only i feel or my body requires really grains …
please tell if i want to prepare my body for GM diet ..pls suggest
I can assure you your body does not require grains, quite the opposite. IT takes 30 days for dopamine levels to reset. so when you cut the goodies your body will feel it for some time. Wheat is pure junk food and a great way to gain weight as is the diet you eat above, You eat pure carbs. At some point you have to make a change You eat constantly and need these foods because you have trained your body to by eating the way you do Plus you have no good fats no great protein so your body will crave anything it can get. You need a lifestyle change. You need balanced meals. Sorry truly to hear this is so hard on you.
thanks for reply …
yes i also reallize i have to include protein diet in morning breakfast like i can make mag , lobia chana … aactually i make rarley as i avoid protien as last year as pr my husband checkup report protien was more than normal range ..but after some time ..it was normal ..
and i am hungry at 6 PM .. i m planning to eat dinner at 7 to 7 30 beacuse i go to bed at 10 PM .. normally i finish my dinner at 9 30 and go to bed at 10 .. its really bad … 🙁
now a days my fasting blood sugar is also around 100which is also high from mormal ( i check at home )
my height is 5ft 2 inch weight is 81 kg ..i m 30 year old
Whether protein ranges were normal has nothing to do with having it daily You have to have protein. Sure you can skip a day, I eat meat and take a day off a week and do vegetarian. Yes eating right before bed is to me the number 1 way to gain weight.You need a balanced meal plan and lifestyle. the 100, yes you are correct is too high. look at the top 2 posts here http://gmdietforums.com/forums/gm-diet-after-day-7.6/
Hello, I have been doing very loosing weight everyday, however not as much as suggested I am on day 6 but i did not loose this morning, seemed to gain 1 pound back after day 5. I had lost 7 pounds on day 5 and today have gain 1 pound back. I am following it to the exact portions. The only thing that I can think is that I have been so busy that most of my eating has been later in the day and evening. I did not read time specifications on the site that i downloaded to my phone. I have not eaten yet for day 6, almost afraid to consume as much meat and vegetable as possible. Has anyone had these experiences..???
happens all the time, not likely real weight. What did you eat day 5?
Can we take curd in all 7 days of GM diet.
no we do not mention it so please don’t do it

Please let me know if I’m doing anything incorrect that I’m not losing weight.
2. And in diet plan it is mentioned that if we follow day 1 with only melons we can lose 3 pounds on a day but I saw only 400 grams of weight loss after my 1st day of Diet.
Please let me know if I’m doing anything wrong.

Hi, in day 5 it says braised beef in breakfast and soup but how much beef and how much oil and how do we cook that. What type of beef do we take. Im having difficulties on day 5. Could i go to chicago grill to eat beef steaks without anything unatural. It is a resturaunt. But how much should I intake for each meal. Very confused. Please help me.
basically days 5 and 6 are meat and veg simply. so just make sure that restaurant uses good fat to cook or grill not junk veg oils. They may use none at all. so no worries on it being soup
hi kevin,can u help mw what time gap shud be there after 1st gm diet and on 2nd day m i nt allowed to eat carrots and tamato,m confused what excatly can i have,can i cook cabbage n eat in olive oil like haf cooked n palak……

plz suggest
tea only. when are you weighing? you can only weigh in the morning, after going potty, before you eat of=r drink a thing. that’s your true weight. your plan looks fine.
and also i cannot find the vegetarian version of he diet for day 5 and 6 in the link u sent as well as on he main forum.
https://www.gmdietworks.com/general-motors-diet/gm-diet-vegetarian.html
Today is my day 5th and i have lost only 2 kg, I have followed the diet strictly. Can you help me to identify what happened?
day 1 – only fruits except banana
day 2 – tomatoes, onion, cabbage, heart of palm, carrot, and 1 potato in the morning
day 3- fruits except banana, tomato, lettuce, heart of palm, carrot
day 4- 3 cups skimmed milk / 5 bananas – 60 minutes of walking
day 5 – 1 egg in the morning, lunch: beef and 1 tomato up to now
i used a little olive oil, garlic to season.Also have being drinking average of 2L of water per day.
thanks
hello
you cannot have heart of palm as a regular veg, it has tons of carbs. which is great in a balanced meal with good fat and protein on normal days. but not a veg to have for what we say to have so that is way off plan. same with carrot. day 5 way too light, why 1 egg? less is not better. the garlic and oil is fine actually and your day 2 potato needs a good amount of good fat. day 5 also way too skimpy, less is not better, far worse actually. Losing weight is not about less and less fat as you move forward from this plan. Hope that helps.
ok, many thanks. Just one more question: can i have the egg and tomatoes on day 6?
no prob 🙂 3 max per meal, you sure can have them
HIE…
CAN I HAVE TOMATOES ON DAY 3?
a couple fine sure
hey
im on day 4 and ive lost 1.5 kg…..sticking to banana and milk the entire day is making me feel hungry…what else can i take?
and for day 5 brown rice and lentil will b fine for lunch? and what should i take for breakfast and dinner on 5th day?.
thanks
eat some soup per the page that we say you can have. please read that day carefully we already tell you. day 5 read here https://www.gmdietworks.com/general-motors-diet/gm-diet-vegetarian.html
but im still confused….it says one cup of rice with legumes?/ that has to be consumed whole day or jst one time meal?
1 cup is uncooked measured all day, do 2/3 cup rice and 1/2 cup legumes…
hie …
im on day 5 of my diet and so far lost 2.5 kg….today im preparing brown rice and dal mixed along with the vegies( capsicum, onion,broccoli) in one spoon desi ghee ..can i consume it with curd.? also can i take fruits (apple) as snacks on day 5?
no fruit, curd instead of ghee fine, white rice or legumes much better than brown.
hie..
can i consume poha for breakfast on day 6?
and paneer with rice for lunch and again poha in dinner?
can i consume fruits on day 6 as snacks?
sure with good fats, no fruits
hie….
can u please specify me what does good fats includes?
sure pure and organic is possible olive oil, coconut oil, palm oil, avocado, ghee, grass fed butter, pastured egg yolks to start.
i just start diet plan , i am on day 1. i have question regarding second day, that i can cook vegetables with littlebit olive oil or not? and smoking will affect this diet plan? .
yes on the olive oil, yes the smoking can affect the program so stop if you can
Planning to start my GM diet by tmrw.. Since i have hair loss problem daily am advised to take 1-2 supplement tablet daily by my dermatologist. Is it advisable to take those tablets during these 7 days?????
take what you must sure. so your hair loss it skin related not hormone or health related. Hopefully a dietary change can really help as well 🙂
So thanks for your reply. Mine is not hormone problem. Have one more query which type of water is more advisable mild hot or only plain water. I have a habit of taking mild hot water always.
2 different points of view on cold vs warm water, warm being easier on the digestion so do what you like
can we have white rice insted of brown???
well we don’t recommend brown, so please read the program here carefully
Hi ,
I am on day 3 of GM diet. I am a vegan
Have brought some fruits (Apple,papaya(had in BF), mausami(had just 2 slices though), pomegranate(for mid snacks), some salad and gourd ridge(boiled with some spice) for my lunch. But I am so done with fruits on day1 itself and I dont like it throughout the day.
So what else can I have in lunch if I dont feel like to have these fruits.
Can I have Upma(Made of sooji), or Dosa,Sambhar (Made of rice and daal and smabhar made of vegetables no daal though)
Kindly suggest.
Hoping for a quick response , as I m already hungry 😉 😉
yes just eat veg not fruit, day 3. no rice day 3 so veg and spices only with some good fats like olive oil great
Shall I take cocked vegetables ( cabbage, carrot, cauliflower, tomato and onion with some ginger , garlic & green chilly) on da 2 & 3 instead of soup?
Looks great, only 1 carrot and not too much on the tomato front.
I cant take milk in any form, is there a substiute can leave it out
almond or coconut milk
Dont like milk 🙁 at all, can i just have soup
yes with a little extra good fat
Are we allowed to have beans when veggies are allowed. Such as pinto or navy beans.
Nope, sorry
Can one have potato on Day 7?
no
I weighed 4 times this morning because I couldn’t believe I lost 3.4 pounds in one day!!! I’m on my second day, feeling sort of crampy and queezy but I think I know whats happening. Anyway, are tomato and eggplant ok on day 2?
eggplant fine, 1 tomato OK, The potato and good fat in the morning should really help
can I have boiled vegetable with plain dal on day 3? Along with salads n fruit?
yes
What is the size of a bowl that the portions are measured? Can I use any bowl to measure fruits and veggies as I prefer?
yes a basic normal bowl go for it…

WOW, your doc is OK with you eating wheat and you have a thyroid issue? Amazing how doctors just don’t care about health and nutrition. eating how you eat and sleeping like you do not to mention killing your body working out like that, you are truly is serious trouble. I truly hope you learn how it eat and live here. He is the best thyroid doc in the world. https://drknews.com/
You are in dire need of a lifestyle change, also let me know if you need more help…

No arguments here, it’s your health, I can assure you now though things are not as they appear. No it is not correct at all. You are crashing your hormones and your body cannot be sustained liked that. I hope you find what works best for you. read that site and you will see why what you are eating will come back on you hard likely soon
ok i will chek thenkyou 🙂
Please tell me how to bake a potato? peeled or unpeeled? and how to eat it peeled or unpeeled?
however you like…
which veggies should i eat 2nd day? tomatoes, cucumber, carrots and cabbage? and can i eat potato the rest day?
The ones we suggest on the page, cabbage fine as well. potato with good fat only in morning
I am looking to loose 10kgs in about 9 weeks… If I do the diet every fortnight and then control the following foods will it help?
No wheat
No colas – I drink a lot of coke
Alcohol – one drink once a week when not doing the gm diet
Eat out once a week when not doing the gm diet
Thanks
It can help, however after round 3 of this plan wait at least a month for another. Sure cutting out pure junk is great, but you have to eat pure and good balanced meals. God fats, protein, etc

Thanks
hello and good luck 🙂
1) yes
2) no
3) yes
4) no
First off let me thank you for this wonderful diet Plan and taking the time to clear all doubt. You are helping a lot of people out there.
I have been hearing reviews about it a lot. So wanted to try. I am on day 2. I had watermelon(lots and lots, around 4 kg) and 2 apples and one orange juice on day one.
Day two i started off with 2 potatoes fried with half a teaspoon oil in airfryer.This is where I am.
I do have a few questions and hope you can answer them:
1: can i have more than 2 potato on day 2? (not really in to veg.) Is there a perticular reason i cant have carrots?
2:Can i have potato on day 6? if yes how many.
3.Is it nessasary to take tomato along with chicken on day 5?
4. Can i use spices along with chicken on day 5 and 6? (like chilli powder, Turmeric powder, Coriander seeds) along with half teaspoon of olive oil for 500 grams of chicken?
Thanks in advance
Hello 🙂 Always happy to help
1) no, pure carbs, so not meant as a replacement for regular veg.
2) no
3) no, pick other normal veg, not potato
4) yes spice your food as you like. go for it 🙂
one last thing. I usually jog for 30-45 minutes a day, can i keep doing that. However i did not jog on the first day.
just be careful and keep it light, you have no protein to rebuild muscle
Also I saw this GM Diet Chicken Soup Recipe on the site, Can i have this on day 5 and 6?
again can i have potato on day 7? (In veg i love only potato being the reason)

Hi,
I am on day three and following the plan strictly, however I took honey and lemon water every three days in the morning. I thought it is good in reducing weight. I read here that honey was not allowed, should I start all over again? 🙁
Please advise.
Thanks Reesha
if you need to lose weight I can assure you there is nothing worse than drinking sugar water. lemon water is fine, apple cider vinegar is fine, however you can drink sugar. your blood sugar spikes, it’s terrible for you. Stop thinking of honey as this great natural sweetener and realize it’s pure sugar. So is fruit so be careful there, so is maple syrup, agave is terrible and so on. However keep on going no need to stop 🙂 hang in there…
So white rice is better than brown for weight loss? I am surprised.
why? rice is rice. the main difference is brown is harder to digest and has to many anti-nutrients. And I am not saying white is better for weight loss, I am saying it is better than brown.
Hi author,
thanks for being here to help us.
I’m on day 2: Had lots of watermelon on day one and some of the wonder soup. I must say the soup is delicious, I almost went for more.
I’ve had steamed mixed vegetables today.
Was wondering, on day 4, if I swap milk for yoghurt, how much do I need to have?
Thanks
unsweetened yogurt is fine about a 1/2 cup each serving about 4 servings or so. any potato and good fat day 2?
1,why home Made chappathi is bad n brown bread also,,
2, can i have fresh carrot and orange juice daily? i mean these 7 days?
just because it’s homemade makes ZERO difference. Brown rice is not as good as white because it has too many anti-nutrients. wheat is pure junk food, sprayed with pesticide, herbicides. A GMO food. Typically full of mycotoxins. Over processed and so on. Google “Wheat Belly”
no, juice like that means you are literally drinking pure sugar. There is nothing natural about juicing like that fruits and carrot. Imagine how many oranges it takes to make a glass of juice. Then imagine how much fructose you are drinking. it’s pure carbs and a pure sugar drink. Your poor body will react badly especially your blood sugar.
Thankyu sir,, but 2 days u said u can include fruit juice ryt? So hows that sir?
N eating a large bowl of mixed fruits like green apple watermelon pappaya pomegrnt ,,in empty stomach is bad or what?
no I never say drink fruit juice. and have you read day 2? do you see any fruit day 2? after the diet yes eating a large bowl of fruit is not good.
I think the better question that nobody literally can ever answer is how is wheat healthy?
I had alot of corn on day 2 and day 3 not realizing I was not supposed to. Have I compromised the diet? I’m on day 4 and have lost 4 lbs.
possibly, it’s a grain and has zero nutritional value really. however nice losses so please keep going 🙂
Today i had started this diet …
I am tea addicted that too normal indian one…
Can i have the one cup tea only …and i am eggetarian & i can eat all veges & eggs…
