How to lose 5 Kgs in 1 week

 I came across this General Motors Diet Program, couple of weeks ago. Since there were positive feedbacks about the results of the program, I actually tried this once. I must say, it worked, I lost about 8lbs in 7 days. If you follow this diet consciously, it does have good results.

Although weight loss is highlighted in this diet program, the core principle is DETOXIFICATION-getting rid of the toxic deposits from the body. Detox is well approved by dieticians world wide. After all it is our Vrathams/Upavaasams in India ‘Pathyam Parama Oushadham’ . A good example is Karthika masa vratham.

 My Experience-I felt hungry for first 2 nights and did not sleep well. The second day was horrible as the whole day is Veggies day!!! I tried to bake a potato(first time ever opened the Oven, Obviously failed). Then I fried potato,green peppers,red onions,eggplant,carrots together with some lemon and Thai peppers without oil and closing the top for a while. In first 3 days I lost 5 lbs. See the attached Pdf for GM diet Details.

So i wanted to know if it is ok if i can do this diet.Also do i have to consume lots of watermelon and cantaloupe on the 1st day. 2ndly on day 2 it says have a large boiled potato for breakfast, what are we suppose to eat on the other days for breakfast.For day 5 rice is cooked right and are we suppose to eat the tomatoes raw or like in a sauce way… Day 6 and 7 can we eat potatoes because it’s high in carbs so i don’t know.

    is there an equivalent to just tomatoes because i don’t really like them?

    how much fruit and veggies can i eat? would just one (fruit) and one small bowl of carrots and broccoli (for veggies)combined for 3 times every day be fine?

    is it 1 cup of white rice cooked?

    please reply to me a.s.a.p

    Thanks so much!
