GM Diet - Indian Vegetarian

Hi all!! Blogging after much long gap. Posting my GM Vegetarian diet chart that did wonders to my body. Seeing the wonders, many of my friends requested to share the diet chart. So Here it is!

To know more about the General Motors diet, GOOGLE it.

CAUTION:

•  If you have low BP or you tend to faint due to lack of sugar or salt, avoid this diet. Still if you intend to, carry a chocolate with you.
• During this diet, DO NOT go for any heavy workouts or training which burns much calories. Moderate walking for 20 mins everyday, is advisable
• Throughout this diet - you may feel weak, tired, tempted. If you eat the right quantity of fruits and vegetables as per the diet, this diet is so healthy and gives you great results. This diet cleanses our body, remove toxins, weight loss and give a magic glow to our skin
• I would recommend to be on this GM diet, once in 2 months.

Changes in ME post GM Diet:

• This acted as a kick-start for my weight loss mission.
• Post this diet, my subconscious mind was tuned to eat healthy and stay healthy. Controlled my temptation to a great extent. Totally avoided junk foods, oil, butter, sugar, sweets, soft drinks, etc.
• Even if I went to any restaurant, ordered healthy, low calorie food. I relax my diet twice a month.
• This diet made me feel healthy and did boost my confidence level to a great extent. 
• Much more to mention!!  Rather than putting it in words, I suggest you all to follow this diet and experience the bliss.

Find below the GM diet which I followed. Easy to follow, at the same time gave me amazing results. To be frank, I was not that strict as mentioned in most of the sites, because I'm not that kind of a person. I tend to get tempted a lot for food. 

During this diet, recommend to follow the below points for best results

1. Drink at-least 10-14 glasses of water per day
2. 20-25 mins of  Moderate walking everyday
3. AVOID coffee, tea, juices (for first 6 days) , direct sugar, oil, butter, cheese, junk foods, rice, etc
4. No Alcohol or Smoking
5. If you get tempted for food, move away from that place or close your eyes and think of your Shape which you are aiming to bring back. This helped me a lot to stay away from temptation.
