to start my JOURNEY.TO.NEW.HEALTHY.ME. i've decided to begin
with a cleanse - to eliminate all sweets, fats, and carbs from my body for a
week. i chose to do the
General Motors: Weight
Loss Diet Program. i did this cleanse a while ago and lost 12 lbs by doing it, but didn't keep up the healthy lifestyle, so of course i gained it all back. here's to trying it again!
here's a brief overview of each day of this diet ...
day one -
all fruits (except bananas). you can eat all the fruits that you want,
but it is strongly suggested to consume lots of melons
(you are preparing your system
for the upcoming program. 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 -
all veggies. start your day with a large baked potato for breakfast
(complex carb) with 1 pat of butter and then eat until you are stuffed with raw
or cooked veggies
(starts with a fix of complex
carb, coupled with an oil dose. this is taken in the morning for energy
and balance. the rest of day two consists of veggies which are virtually
calorie free and provide essential nutrients and fiber)
day three -
fruits (no bananas) and veggies (no potatoes). any amount, any quantity
(eliminates the potato because
you get your carbs from the fruits. your 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 and milk. eat as many as 8 bananas and drink 3 glasses of milk.
this is to be coupled with the soup.
(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. 2 10oz portions of lean beef and 6 whole tomatoes.
increase water intake by 1 quart (cleanse your body of uric acid)
(the beef is for iron and
protein and the tomatoes are for digestion and fiber. lots and lots of
water purifies your system. you should notice colorless urine today.
your allowance calls for the equivalent of 5 "quarter pounders"
- do not feel you have to eat all this beef, but you must eat the 6 tomatoes)
day six - beef
and veggies. eat as much beef and veggies that you want
(similar to day five, iron and
proteins from beef, vitamins and fiber from veggies. 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 -
brown rice, fruit juices, and veggies. eat as much brown rice and veggies
as you want and drink fresh squeezed fruit juice (in addition to your water)
(finish off the program with
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)
general motor'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 flavoring as desired
beverages you can consume …
10-15 cups of water (flavored
with lemon/lime if desired)
