General Motors: 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.
I am so touched at how GM values their employess *teared*
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
Drinking water is the hardest for me,
I mean if you are saying soda, it's no problem but water?
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.
I am starting this diet at 49KG.
Day One is the hardest for me, just melon the whole day, I almost died! And I'm not sure why, I peed like 10000 times even though I didnt drink much water. And erm, not sure if I should be saying this, but the pee gets lighter each pee and eventually you are peeing transparent pee. yep!
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.
Eating to eat potato is such a bliss!
Day Three A mixture of fruits and vegetables of your choice.
Any amount, any quantity. No bananas yet. No potatoes today.
I cooked broccoli and celery which was yummy ^ ^
You can eat yong tau foo on this day too (I did!)
I weighed myself and I LOST 2 FREAKING KG! MAD HAPPY!
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.
I had only 6 bananas! 8 is too much for me!
Surprisingly, 6 bananas & 3 glasses of milk can sustain me the whole day!
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.
Happiest day of the whole week! MEAT day!!!
Day Six Beef and vegetables.
Today you may eat an unlimited amount of beef and vegetables.
Eat to your hearts content.
I didnt eat any beef. I had yong tau fau instead.
Day Seven
Today your food intake will consist of brown rice, fruit juices and all the vegetables
you care to consume.
I think I'm gonna cheat today since I will be going to wedding fair ^ ^
But weighed myself on Day 6 and still at 47KG!
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.
This is seriously becoming a diet/health blog, lol.
But hope it's useful to u! ^ ^
SWIMSUIT BODY!!!
I WANT!!!
hhaha, I am so ambitious, tsk tsk!
