I was 10 kgs more than the normal weight. After I followed this weight loss program my weight was reduced to normal. And I am able to keep my weight under control. In the place were non-veg items recommended it can be substituted with sprouted seeds other than chenna or beans.
======================
Weight loss diet program::
The
following diet and health program was developed for employees and dependents of
General Motors, Inc. and is intended for their exclusive use. This program was
developed in conjunction with a grant from U.S. Department of Agriculture and
the Food and Drug Administration. It was field tested at the Johns Hopkins
Research Centre and was approved for distribution by the Board of Directors,
General Motors Corp. at a general meeting on August 15, 1985. General Motors
Corp. wholly endorses this program and is making it available to all employees
and families. This program will be available at all General Motors Food Service
Facilities. It is management's intention to facilitate a wellness and fitness
program for everyone.
This
program is designed for a target weight loss of 10-17 lbs per week. It will also
improve your attitudes and emotions because of its cleansing systematic effects.
The
effectiveness of this seven day plan is that the food eaten burn more calories
than they give to the body in caloric value.
This
plan can be used as often as you like without any fear of complications. It is
designed to flush your system of impurities and give you a feeling of well
being. After seven days you will begin to feel lighter because you will be
lighter by at least 10 lbs. You will have an abundance of energy and an improved
disposition.
During
the first seven days you must abstain from all alcohol
You
must drink 10 glasses of water each day
Day
One All fruits except bananas. Your first day will consist of all the fruits you
want. It is strongly suggested that you consume lots of melons the first day.
Especially watermelon and a loupe. If you limit your fruit consumption to
melons, your chances of losing three lbs. on first day are very good.
Day
Two All vegetables. You are encouraged to eat until you are stuffed with all the
raw or cooked vegetables of your choice. There is no limit on the amount or
type. For your complex carbohydrate, you will start day two with a large baked
potato for breakfast. You may top the potato with one pat of butter.
Day
Three A mixture of fruits and vegetables of your choice. Any amount, any
quantity. No bananas yet. No potatoes today.
Day
Four Bananas and milk. Today you will eat as many as eight bananas and drink
three glasses of milk. This will be combined with the special soup which may be
eaten in limited quantities.
Day
Five Today is feast day. You will eat beef and tomatoes. Eat two 10 oz. portions
of lean beef. Hamburger is OK. Combine this with six whole tomatoes. On day five
you must increase your water intake by one quart. This is to cleanse your system
of the uric acid you will be producing.
Day
Six
Beef and vegetables. Today you may eat an unlimited amount of beef and
vegetables. Eat to your hearts content.
Day
Seven Today your food intake will consist of brown rice, fruit juices and all
the vegetables you care to consume.
Tomorrow
morning you will be 10-17 lbs. lighter than one week ago. If you desire further
weight loss, repeat the program again. You may repeat this program as often as
you like, however, it is suggested that you are allowed two glasses of white
wine in addition to the instructions on the program. You may substitute
champagne for white wine. Under no circumstances are you to drink any other
alcoholic beverages with the exception of beer which is allowed. Any liquor (bourbon,vodka,
rum) is forbidden. Cream drinks are especially forbidden. You may have an
occasional cordial such as creme de menthe or schnapps, but you must always
limit yourself to two drinks. If you wine, drink only wine that day. If you have
beer, drink only beer that day, etc. Alcohol adds empty calories to your diet.
However, after the first week it will help your digestion and settle your
stomach.
G.M.'S
Wonder Soup
The
following soup is intended as a supplement to your diet. It can be eaten any
time of the day in virtually unlimited quantities. You are encouraged to consume
large quantities of this soup.
28
oz, Water, 6 Large Onions, 2 Green Peppers, Whole Tomatoes (fresh or canned), 1
Head Cabbage, 1 Bunch Celery, 4 Envelopes Lipton Onion Soup Mix, Herbs and
Flavouring as desired.
Additional
Comments
Vegetables
as may be taken in the form of a salad if desired. No dressing except malt,
white or wine vinegar, squeezed lemon, garlic, herbs. No more than one tea spoon
of oil.
You
have been given a recipe for the WONDER SOUP which can be eaten in unlimited
quantities. This soup is a supplement while you are on the program and it should
be a pleasure to eat. Not everyone likes cabbage, green peppers, calory etc.
This recipe is not inflexible. You may substitute vegetables according to your
taste. You may add any vegetables you like: asparagus, peas, corn, turnips,
green beans, cauliflower, etc. Try to stay away from beans (lima, pinto, kidney,
etc.), however, because they tend to be high in calories even though they are
very good for you.
Beverages
you may consume while on the program :
1.
Water
(flavoured with lemon/lime if desired).
2.
Club
Soda is OK.
3.
Black
Coffee. No cream or cream substitute. No sugar or sweetness.
4.
Black
Tea = Herb or Leaf.
5.
Absolutely
nothing else except the fruit juices which are part of day seven. No fruit
juices before day seven.
How
and Why It Works
Day
One you are preparing your system for the upcoming programme. Your only source
of nutrition is fresh or canned fruits. Fruits are nature's perfect food. They
provide everything you could possibly want to sustain life except total balance
and variety.
Day
Two starts with a fix of complex carbo-hydrates coupled with an oil dose. This
is taken in the morning for energy and balance. The rest of day two consists of
vegetables which are virtually calorie free and provide essential nutrients and
fibre.
Day
Three eliminates the potato because you get your carbohydrates from the fruits.
You system is now prepared to start burning excess pounds. You will still have
cravings which should start to diminish by day four.
Day
Four, bananas, milk and soup sound the strangest and least desirable. You're in
for a surprise. You probably will not eat all the bananas allowed. But they are
there for the potassium you have lost and the sodium you may have missed the
past three days. You will notice a definite loss of desire for sweets. You will
be surprised how easy this day will go.
Day
Five, Beef and tomatoes. The beef is for iron and proteins, the tomatoes are for
digestion and fibre. Lots and lots of water purifies your system. You should
notice colourless urine today. Your allowance calls for the equivalent of five
"quarter ponders". Do not feel you have to eat all this beef. You must
eat the six tomatoes.
Day
Six is similar to day five, Iron and proteins from beef, Vitamins and fibre from
vegetables. By now your system is in a total weight loss inclination. There
should be a noticeable difference in the way you look today, compared to day
one.
Day
Seven finished off the program like a good cigar used to finish off Victorian
meals, except much healthier. You have your system under control and it should
thank you for the flushing and cleaning you just gave it.
