How To Lose 18 Pounds In 7 Days
The first thing that we need to do to get ready for the GM diet plan is to prepare our mind for the diet regime that we are going to follow. Only people with controlled and peaceful mind will be able to success in this weight loss plan. The diet plan is for one week and through this diet period it will be allowed to take only specific foods as prescribed in the diet plan for each of these seven days. It is believed that by following the diet plan exactly as mentioned below should reduce the body weight from 11 till 18 pounds.
The most important thing that needs to be realized in this fastest way of losing weight is not to be hungry at all. This will do the opposite and instead of weight loss might end up gaining a few extra pounds. GM diet plan suggests the right amount and the right quantity of food that we can intake in order to make us feel like we are always full. Might be curious and thinking how a diet plan will work when you are allowed to eat and that too at a specified amount. Also many people who took this lose weight diet program were puzzled on how a diet program that does not ask for fasting will help in effective weight loss. But, there is nothing to worry about in this diet plan as it is a sure shot procedure that will help in reducing of the overall body weight from 11 till 18 pounds in about a week.
Day One
The first day is the most important day in the GM diet plan program. Stepping into the world of knowing how to reduce the body weight and that too in 7 days time. The GM diet plan says that the first day of the diet must be a complete fruit diet day. That is the option of eating all the fruits that you possibly can and like. But, it is important to make sure to avoid bananas from fruit list on day one. Some of the suggested fruits that can be taken on the GM’s weight loss diet plan are watermelons and cantaloupe. It is also important to drink about 8 to 12 glasses of water on day one and make sure to not even touch any other food items, not even raw or boiled vegetables. If we want this plan to work effectively on our body, we should only consume various kinds of assorted fruits throughout the day. When feeling hungry, we should try to eat more fruits and of course drink water.
Day Two
If day one was a day that gave the opportunity to binge on the favorite fruits, then day two provides an opportunity to eat only vegetables throughout the day. Take the vegetables that you like both in the raw state and in cooked state. But, it is important to make sure to not use any sort of oil while cooking the vegetables. Consuming boiled vegetables are also a good option, including potatoes. Would be safe to consume the boiled potatoes early in the morning so that the carbohydrates get burnt during the course of the day. Some of the common vegetables that are good to be consumed on day 2 of the lose weight diet regime are: cooked beans, raw and cooked carrot, broccoli, cucumber, boiled bottle and ridge gourd, lettuce, boiled cabbage and so on. There is no doubt that digestive system will completely undergo an overhaul by the evening and may need to visit the toilet more often than before. Make sure not to miss the daily dose of 8 to 12 glasses of water along with a strict veggie diet on day two.
Day Three
The third day of GM weight lose plan will allow us to take both vegetables and fruits for the entire day. Be sure to avoid potatoes in the veggie section and also make sure to not consume bananas from the fruit section. There is an option of going for a fruit diet in the morning followed by a veggie diet in the afternoon and a fruit diet in the evening followed by a veggie and fruit diet at night. The options, permutations and combinations of consuming the fruit and vegetable diet or combination of both the diets is totally left to your disposal. Never miss the option of drinking 8 to 12 glasses of water even on day three as well.
Day Four
Day four would interest dieters looking for the fastest way to lose weight as it is filled with a banana and milk diet. Yes, we need to take at least a minimum of 8 to 10 bananas throughout the day and are allowed three glasses of milk. Might be a bit worried if this diet will make you feel hungry but, on the contrary, you will feel quite full with this diet plan at the end of the day. Bananas and the glasses of milk must be divided properly so there is no feeling of any kind of starvation on the fourth day of GM diet plan regime. Consuming a banana and a glass of milk in the morning followed by a couple of bananas during the midday will be an ideal start to day four. Can take a glass of milk and two bananas for lunch on day four. Can also take a couple of bananas in the evening or even three bananas and then take a couple of bananas and a glass of milk at night. By follow this simple day four regime there will be no sign of hunger at all throughout the entire day.
Day Five
If you love having a feast, then day 5 of the GM’s lose weight diet plan offers the opportunity to feast on day five. It is the day when we can have a cup of brown rice for lunch and take about six to seven tomatoes throughout the day. As there is every chance of producing a lot of uric acid in the body, it is ideal to increase the water level from 12 glasses to 15 glasses on day five.
Day Six
Another feast day on day six of the GM’s diet plan. Here too will be allowed to take a cup of brown rice in the afternoon for lunch and also stick on to a vegetable diet for the rest of the day. It is also important to make sure to take at least 8 to 12 glasses of water on day six as well. This is the penultimate day of day seven GM diet plan regime and will for sure feel quite lighter than before by the sixth day. There is no doubt that digestive system will also be improved completely with this diet plan.
Day Seven
This is the last day of the lose weight diet plan from GM. Here it is allowed to take a cup of brown rice and all the veggies that would love to eat along with the fruit juice of own choice. This is considered to be the best day of the entire diet regime because of the option to eat all the vegetables that we like and to flush it off by consuming the fruit juices of own choice.
Note:
From the 4th day of GM Diet Plan, the GM Diet Soup can be eaten for breakfast.

Have a question? Please read the comments below.
On day 2 is asparagus okay? And any suggestions on what seasonings to use that are most tasteful.
Asparagus is OK. I eat spicy peppers almost on everything, tasty and healthy. Any dried herbs or spices are OK.
Every asparagus recipe seems to have olive oil 🙁 I’ve never really cooked beans before any suggestions.
You may use 1 tablespoon olive oil.
Can you eat hummus? If so what days?
No hummus during this diet.
I’m sorry if this question has been asked I didn’t see it in the comments though. Is spaghetti squash okay to eat on veggie day? If all we do to it is bake it and season it with spices?
Spaghetti squash is OK.
Day two and I’m down a pound 🙂 might not seem a lot to some but it is to me 🙂
A pound is a pound! If you lost 1 a day for a month, you would lose 30-31 pounds! Keep up the good work! I can’t wait to see my first day results!
I was reluctant to start this since I already eat really healthy but decided to give it a try anyway! It is 3/8/16 and I am at a starting weight this morning of 158.2 and want to drop the 9 pounds I picked up since Thanksgiving 2015. I did have 16 oz of coffee with Stevia and cashew milk with vanilla (my homemade creamer) when I woke up. I had a frozen blueberry, pineapple and pineapple juice smoothie for breakfast, have 3 apples and 2 pears and an orange that I will eat throughout the day and another smoothie which is strawberry, apricot, pineapple and pineapple juice. I have gotten all my veggies ready for tomorrow as well as the soup items. I will be using Quinoa instead of brown rice (I don’t like brown rice!) and I don’t eat broccoli because it causes gas/bloating. I will do my best to update, and if anyone has questions, I will happily answer them! Oh and I have a 24 oz cup I will drink water from and fill at least 3 times each day!
I felt hungry most of the morning so I was eating a lot of fruit. I went out and got a mango! It was really yummy but I didn’t realize people shouldn’t eat the skin!!! Oops. I also just found out the office will be celebrating a birthday on Friday (Day 4) and I have to PR 🙁 I am hoping we end up NOT going out, so I can have my bananas only! Can’t wait to update tomorrow!
I forgot to add that I only eat organic, so my choices are limited this time of the year!
Can you eat green olives on veggie day?
Olives are not allowed.
Since this consists of fruits and veggies, where is protein that your body needs?
Is this diet good for diabetics? Fruit has its own natural sugars and diabetics are limited on fruits.
How do you manage to keep from getting tired of the same menu? I love soup but eating the same exact soup 3x a day gets old fast.
You get protein from the beans and it’s enough during this diet. If you are diabetic you should ask your doctor before going on any diet. The soup is for breakfast, you don’t eat the soup 3x a day. The rest of the day you eat from the menu given for that day.
On days 4-7 we can have 1-2 bowls of soup. Is that in addition to the rest of the instructions of what to eat on that given day? Or is the soup replacing something? Also does it matter what time you eat the soup? If we’re having 2 bowls of soup should we eat them back to back or for two separate meals?
The soup is in addition to the rest of the food for the given day. It’s for breakfast but you can have another bowl during the day (1 bowl per meal), it doesn’t matter what time.
Can I drink sobe water? It is 0 calorie yum berry pomegranate flavor.
Sobe water is OK.
can you leave the tomatoes out of the soup and just eat them raw? I’m not a fan of slimey boiled tomatoes.
Sure you can.
On Day 2, veggie day. Are Sugar Snap peas ok? I think I read where we should avoid peas. I’ve been eating the shell and tossing the peas inside. 🙂
Peas are ok in small quantities.
Is orange juice okay for juice day
Orange juice is fine.
Must the juice be freshly squeezed or can it be from a carton or grocery store?
Fresh.
On day 5 can the tomatoes be cooked, which days can you have soup? Can you drink Propel water? Thanks!
Tomatoes must be raw. Soup is for days 4, 5, 6, and 7. If you think to replace regular water with Propel water then the answer is NO. You need to drink large amounts of water during this diet plan, and large amounts of Propel water is not good for your health.
I have to make my own fruit juice????
Yes, homemade.
On day 5, tomato day, I see that we can have grape tomatoes. How many grape tomatoes would you eat in place of 1 regular tomatoe?
If we take that 1 medium size tomato weight 4 ounces and 1 grape tomato is 0,3 ounces you need to eat 13 grape tomatoes in place of 1 regular.
Thank you, I absolutely love grape and cherry tomatoes over regular tomatoes.
You are welcome.
Can I drink coffee? (I’m very addicted) If so, can I use artificial sweetener and fat free creamer? Thank you
It’s not recommended but if you can’t quit coffee then use stevia as a sweetener. You may use only fat free and sugar free creamer.
what am I allowed to put on potato on day 2?
Salt, dried herbs or spices, pepper.
so why is ok to drink white wine but not red? so no red wine at all?
are mushrooms considered a veggie
can I eat them this week with veggies?
Yes they are considered a veggie. A few mushrooms are OK.
Light alcohol dry white wine is allowed only if you must, but it’s not recommended during this diet. Red wine is not permitted because it have more calories.
also can you eat bananas on day 1 and 3 as fruit?
No bananas on day 1 and 3.
Can we have pickles ? If so, what kind?
Pickles are not allowed.
Can I put any type of cheese on the vegetables?
No, it is not allowed.
What can you substitute for rice if you can’t eat it?
You can replace brown rice with quinoa.
For day 4 what milk do you recommend for someone who is lactose intolorant?
I recommend unsweetened almond milk.
What kind of beans can we eat? Is coconut water acceptable to replace fruit juices?
Avoid consumption of lima, kidney and pinto beans. Yes, coconut water is fine.
What can I replace with bananas I don’t like them at all? Ty
Papayas, kiwis and apricots are good substitutes for bananas.
Do raisins and prunes count as a fruit?
Yes.
How many rounds or weeks if this diet do you recommend? Sorry if this was already asked but I couldn’t find it in any of the comments.
It depends on how much weight you want to loose. Do you want to go more aggressively or step by step. I recommend two rounds of this diet in a month with one week break between.
I need to lose at least 50+ so I guess more aggressively. Thank you! Also I was wondering if I could eat tomatoes on veggie days too or is that just on the 5th day?
You are welcome. Yes, you can eat tomatoes on veggie days too.
This diet has been tweeted from 1994’s “Cabbage Soup Diet”. I’ve used it many times!!!! It works! But was able to eat the soup any time I wanted… Actually was told if I didn’t eat the soup, I would not loose as much weight… And was able to season it with a package of Lipton Onion Soup Mix, which made it tasty…. We got beef with the tomatoes on the tomato day, and was allowed butter on the baked potato on that day…
I will try it your way to see if I can still loose the 10 pounds… Just wish I could have the onion soup mix for the soup… I used green beans & tomatoes also in the soup… Is that allowed? Would love to add zucchini too!!!! Please let me know!
Thank you!
Hi Amber. Yes you may use green beans, tomatoes and zucchini in the soup.
Can you use low sodium beef broth for some of the water in the soup
Yes you can, but remember that modifying it even further you may reduce the efficiency of the diet. So, for best results don’t make too much modifications except if you are allergic on something.
For the day you eat all tomatoes you commented that papayas could be used instead. I was wondering aboyt mangos, they have more lycopene. Will they be okay on this day ?
Mangoes have 3mg lycopene in 100g weight and tomatoes have 2573mg per 100g, so no, mangoes are not good substitute for tomatoes in this diet.
Can you use a mix of wild and brown rice or just brown rice?
Yes you can use mix of wild and brown rice.
I was just wondering are we allowed to eat any meat because I can’t really eat anything with out meat?
Hi Shannon, this diet plan is without meat.

Couple of questions…. can I chew sugar free gum, can I make my own ranch dressing using plain greek yogurt and hidden valley ranch packet for salad, can I eat mustard with the tomatoes ?
Sure, you can chew sugar free gum. Yes, you can make your own ranch dressing. Mustard is not allowed.
Thanks. On day five…. the diet directions call for brown rice for lunch, 6-7 tomatoes throughout the day, and notes that the cabbage soup can be consumed for breakfast. Are these the only foods that should be consumed on day 5 or are fruits and vegetables allowed?
Is fruit allowed for breakfast on day 6?
Do I have to drink the fruit juice on the days calling for it? I normally only drink water.
You are welcome. Yes, these are the only foods that should be consumed on day 5. Fruit is not allowed on day 6. If you can’t drink fruit juice, water is fine.
Hi I have a question today is my day for and the diet doesn’t say anything about water.. Do i still Drink the 12-15 glasses of water? Sorry if its a dumb question just don’t want to mess up i’m surprised i made it this far without cheating.
Hi Michele. You drink 8-12 glasses of water on day 4 and 12-15 on day 5. Stay strong and go ahead.

You can use cauliflower for the soup instead of onions.

You have the soup on there, I’m confused because in the diet plans you have you don’t mention being able to have soup. What is the soup for and when can you have it?
Ok I’m confused on the soul. Do you have to eat the soup or is it just an option?
The soup is an option just to reduce the hunger. If you are not hungry you don’t have to eat the soup.
The soup is for breakfast from day 4.

Coffee is not recommended during this diet, but if you can’t quit coffee use stevia as a sweetener.
Can beans be eaten on day 3 or is this day 2 only?
Yes you can eat beans on day 3 too.
I see on day 3 it says no potatoes. I’m wondering if that includes sweet potatoes?
Yes, that includes sweet potatoes too.
What if you are allergic to bananas?
Please read the comments: Papayas (pawpaws) are the best substitute for bananas. Kiwis and apricots are also good substitute for bananas.
instead of having olive oil or vinaigrette on a salad, can we use lemon ?
Sure you can.

Odd my response disappeared! First of I want to say thanks for the post and all the comments you replied to everyone – makes it easier to know what to eat etc
Started day 1 today, had some fruits for breakfast already so far so good. Not entirely hungry yet!
Question about the rice day.. it says you can eat a cup of rice for lunch , can we eat it for dinner instead?
thanks
You are welcome. Rice can be heavy for dinner, but yes you can eat it.
Oh man, I’m assuming it’s not normal to be starving is it haha? it’s hard I even had to eat a potato for dinner :S but usually during the day my stomach will grumble like no tomorrow I guess that’s where the fat is going. Anyone struggling? I can’t imagine when we get to just the tomato day I hope it gets easier.. onward to day 3 tomorrow!
I’m so glad to be done ! I have lost 9 pounds in the process that is like the fastest I ever lost weight haha not bad for only 7 days!! My parents thought I was insane to eat 8 bananas and thinking im gonna starve and die and saying how ridiculous this was to do and that i’m dumb for trying it .. (sigh Asians) Thank you for the posting!
You are welcome.
Last day today! I will post my results tomorrow morning !
I find it easier to do it on the weekend because you get to sleep in and don’t need to drink soup for breakfast but have it for lunch instead. I have the rice for dinner which is very filling.
Is Zucchini ok to eat on Veggie days?
Yes, Zucchini is OK.
I have tried this twice with a week in between. Not really hard to do until Tomato day, I suggest carrots and watermen if tomatoes become a problem. Don’t give up once you get past that day it’s all downhill. Yes, I did see a lose? 5lbs. 1st week and 6.4Lbs. the 2nd week.
Also soup is awesome. I don’t like cabbage, so I ate the broth.
Day 1 for me and a friend. So far so good. Will post results. Hoping to see good ones
can you put butter on your potateo?
Yes, you can put butter.
I started Day 4 today and I’m down 5 lbs and my husband is down 6 lbs. I am 62 years old and I don’t lose weight easily. This diet has been a miracle for me. I hope I lose as much the next 4 days as I have the first 3.
Thanks for posting!
You are welcome.
I am starting the diet for the second time , after a week break. I lost 9 pounds first time. Ate sensibly
For a week and have maintained the loss. Hope I do as well the second time around. Will let you know. Thanks !
Although there is no good excuse for cheating on a 7 day diet, I had pizza on Day 3 due to lack of planning and not being able to leave work. Should I start over to Day 1 or continue to Day 3 tomorrow?
Continue to day 3.
I just finished day 7 and I lost 7.5 pounds. I’ll take it! I feel really good after eating so good for a whole week, it was a good cleanse for the body. Day 2 was the hardest for me, but I worked through and the rest was easy. I used fat free cottage cheese instead of the milk on day 4. Thanks for sharing this! Good luck to everyone!
For those of you contemplating trying this diet, I am on day 3 and have already lost 6 lbs. I feel great! The 2 baked potatoes I had on day 2 were a treat – definitely something to look forward to. It has been very easy so far – try it! 😉
I’m on day 4 & feeling GREAT! 55 yr old grandmother at 177.5 lbs at the start – felt chubby and tired. As of today lost 4 pounds, have energy, feel light, and not craving food (dis LOVE my Soup this morning). I do have hypertension but it is under control and I’m having no ill affects. Sleeping good. Yippee! Thanks so much for sharing this diet. I hope I’m losing more than just water weight though, so we’ll see. My daughter & son-in-law are doing the diet too – so we have mutual support.
hello, thank you for your patience.
i had just one question. can i eat tomatoes on day 7 or the fact that i ate them on day 6 means i shouldnt eat them the day after?
i’m on the 7th day and i have lost 7 kgs, yeah!!!! but i have to say that i drank a lot, truly a lot of water. since it is really hot here (i live in Italy, it was 39 degrees today at 15.00) i needed to drink all the time. i didnt feel hungry at all, thanky you for this diet, i will add as much fruits and vegetables i can to my eating routine.
Yes you can eat tomatoes on day 7 too.
Could I have hummus on veggie day???
You can’t have hummus during this diet.
I posted this last saturday, been waiting for answer and I just noticed for some reason it’s gone. Anyway, for the soup I read I can substitute califlower for onions and carrots for green peppers, what can I sub for tomato’s? I hate tomato’s.
If you don’t like tomatoes for the soup just increase veggies already used in the recipe.
My wife, Mother in law and I are starting today! I was wondering if V8 veggie juice was ok on veggie days?
I’m sorry V8 juice is not allowed on this diet.
Can you use ready in a minute brown rice that you microwave? I don’t ever cook rice properly? I’m on day one, excited about veggies tomorrow!! Also I work night shift but on my transition day back to day shift on Monday morning when I get off at 7 am I will technically finishing day 3 but starting day 4 at the same time since I stay up for 24 straight my first day off. Should I just wait a few hours before eating a banana after I get off work? Sorry for the log question and thank you for answering everyone else’s questions! I’m super excited!!
Don’t use instant rice (rice should not cook instantly). You can eat banana after work, you don’t have to wait. Thank you too for reading us and keep us updated.
Could you substitute cottage cheese for the milk? I started yesterday, so excited to try this!
You can substitute milk with fat free cottage cheese.
If you substitute with cottage cheese, hope many ounces total should be taken in fir the whole day?
Just over 1/2 cup or so for each meal.
I started the diet on Monday and weighed this morning and have lost 9 lbs so far. Can’t wait till I get t eat some protein on Monday. Very pleased so far with my results. I need to lose about 75 more lbs. Going to stay off this a week and then start it back, every other week till my birthday in November. Hope to have lost it all by then.
Please keep us updated. Congrats!
I didn’t read the comments until today but apparently I made a mistake in eating some corn on the veg days, will that make the diet not work? I’m on day 4 now.
It may reduce efficiency of the diet but the diet will work.
I am starting this program today…wish me luck.
Good luck and stay strong.
Planning to start this diet next week. I am so excited!!!!
If I am following the daily diet and eating only what is listed for that day, but I am still hungry throughout the day, will that affect me losing weight?
Not at all.
Oh My Gosh! I am so pumped that I found this! I am 5’0″/5’1″ tall so weight loss has always been a struggle lol. I am going to follow this plan to the “T”!! I work nightshift, so this will hopefully keep me from snacking on things I shouldn’t lol. Need to lose about 35-40lbs. This will be a great jumpstart to my weight loss!! Will be starting this very soon!!!
Started this diet on Monday July 6th and after doing the whole 7 day plan I had a loss of 10 lbs as of this morning. I only had 25 to lose so that is a big plus for me. Just a few tips I noticed throughout the week is you should eat till you are satisfied. The days I caught myself not eating to being full I didn’t lose any weight but the days that i filled my hunger I had a loss the following morning. I probably would have had a bigger loss but this weekend I took care of my Mom for the weekend so I wasn’t paying attention to me just wanted to spend more time with her so that probably hindered my weight loss over the weekend. Will take a few days off and start up again more focused. 10 lbs may not sound like much but think of it this way I dropped a pants size, Jeans that I couldn’t wear before last week I am able to wear them today. I will still be conscious of my eating habits. Add more fruit and veggies to my meals which we all know are much healthier. But for today it will be “Steak and potato” for supper as I have been craving PROTEIN… thanks for the GM plan it is true to it’s word and very well planned out for you.
Completed day 4 and have lost 10 lbs., my husband is down 12 lbs.!
Wow just wow!! I’ve never read a diet that I actually wanted to-do. I’m 38 and never have been on a “diet” I’ve had 5 children and maintain about 150 llbs . This actually sounds fun. I’ll start tomorrow since I’ve already had a cup of coffee. Ill report weight loss. And ppl there is no way you could have a question if you read all the comments! !
I am going to start tomorrow, my daughter was talking about a diet today she is going to try, I didn’t know it was this diet, I have lost close to 90lbs in the last year or two but for the firsy time I just gained 15 lbs since April, I lost my Aunt and I have bad a rough time getting back on any plan, so I am excited to use this diet a jump start to get going again, I am still over 30p lbs so I have a ways to go, thanks for posting this!
I found this diet on Facebook and I am pumped! I changed my eating habits about 3 months ago, and lost 20lbs, but have been on a plateau the last couple of weeks and getting discouraged. I started the GM plan (sorry, I’m not calling it a diet!) this morning, and I can’t wait to see what is going to happen in 7 days. YAY!
Morning day 2 weigh in: -1.5 lbs
Starting day 4 today have lost 10 # hard to do but attainable
I just completed day 3 and I am LOVING this diet! I’m not going to lie it takes a lot of will power to do this but it’s so WORTH it!! I was down 3.5 lbs as of this morning! THANK YOU
Day 6 here and feeling good. I’ve only lost a total of 5 pounds but I can tell that I’ve also lost some belly. My eleven year old daughter says she can really see a difference. I have liked that I’ve been able to eat different things on different days. I have also noticed that I don’t crave the same foods that I did before I started this diet. I think if you follow this diet, stick it out, you will see results in weight and I think it will change the way you eat even afterwards.
Yesterday was day 7. I do not own a scale but can say I feel much lighter. I think if you follow the diet plan weight loss is guaranteed.
I’m on day 4 a lost close to 10 pounds. I’m a active person. About to head out to run a mile! Thank you so much. It’s a tuff diet though…
Thanks for this! Me and my boyfriend plan on starting today..will keep results updated. Quick question though – he isn’t fond of bananas..on that note, what’s a good substitute?
Just started day four and have lost five lbs. Can you add other veggies to the soup? And what about stock?
Do not add more veggies to the soup. Stock is OK.
Starting day 4 today, down 14.2 lbs this am!!!!
This is awesome! What was your total?
This diet works! I’m on day 4 and lost 6 pounds already!!!
While researching I found most other websites talking about the GM Diet Plan have days 5-7 including lean beef? Is this diet just a different method/plan than the other GM Diet Plans out there? Everything else seems to be about the same other than this?
Yes, this is modified version that gives the best results.
thanks for this diet plan. I’m starting it tomorrow and I’ll let u know at the end of it, how I’ve done.
I gained weight when I quit smoking 6 months ago. I can eat about everything that is on this list. Will be starting this within just a couple days. Haha need to make a run to the grocery store.
Is it ok to use fresh garlic cloves and more onion to boil veggies with?
Yes, it’s OK.
I have lots of bananas in the house right now. Will start tomorrow. Nothing has worked before, so anxious to get started. Will keep you updated. Thank you for publishing this diet. It sound enjoyable if you can classify a diet as enjoyable! LOL!
Day 3 I have realized I have lost some inches. I don’t know how many because I didn’t measure before I started the diet but my clothes are certainly fitting different. I’m not very hungry throughout the day and am loving the fruits and veggies. I have found that I like black beans….I’m hoping they are okay for this diet. Nervous about tomorrow but looking forward to it as I keep looking at those bananas on the counter…waiting….
Just stumbled on this page…it’s been good to read all the questions & comments. I never heard of this before, so that gave me a good starting place. I have about 25 pounds to lose…I’m very excited to give this a try to get ‘jump started’ on my weight loss.
On day one can you use full fat or low fat PLAN Greek yogurt in place of some of the milk? Also are the mini sweet peppers ok as a veggie or a frui?
Use low fat Greek yogurt. Mini sweet peppers are OK as a veggie.
Sunflower seeds? Like that you but in a package. Allowed or no?
Allowed during the day 1, 2 and 3.
Read through all the comments…you have the patience of Job! The only questions I have that haven’t already been answered is since I’m allergic to rice, can I substitute quinoa? And the second is that I’m severely allergic to dairy and almonds, is coconut milk ok? Thank you! I’m eating my fruit right now!!!
Yes, you can substitute rice with quinoa, coconut milk is OK too. Don’t make too much modifications to the diet. Modifying it even further may reduce the efficiency of the diet.
Day 2 began by stepping on the scales. 5 pounds lighter! Started the day with broiled new potatoes and tomatoes for breakfast–even if my husband thought I was odd for eating potatoes for breakfast. Lunch was peas, carrots, cooked cabbage, cucumber and onion. Loving the veggies today! Not hungry at all!
On day 6 and down 6 1/2 lbs even considering one bad meal on July 4th, my banana day. Hopefully today and tomorrow will yield a loss and will try again at the end of the week. Thank you for the post!
You are welcome.
I just want to say thank you for posting this! Feel sorry for you having to answer the same questions over again. If they would just read the comments. Lol. Anyways will try to post results I’m a active person, I’m going to try to run a mile each day with it as well. Day 1: Water Melon, Strawberry, and cantaloupe shake. And bunch of cut of pieces.
You’re welcome. Thank you too for reading.
You are precious for taking them time to answer all of these questions (even multiple times for some questions lol) anyways can I drink the honey/cinnamon “potion”, that’s found on your website, morning and night like recommended while doing this?
You may drink honey/cinnamon potion only when you are done with the diet.
Are grilled veggies ok?
Yes.
I have completed day 4 of this diet, and am on day five! I have lost 5.2 pounds so far! It definitely works!
I completed the diet and lost 7 pounds
Starting tomorrow! 🙂 went and bought all the foods tonight!
I am on day 5! I lost 5 lbs each through the first 3 days (15 lbs) and about 2 lbs yesterday. I should also mention that I hurt my shoulder and back a couple days before I started the diet so I have literately laid on the couch all day and still lost weight! I can’t imagine if I had been able to be up and doing my usual activities.
I’m on day 3 and was about to make the soup ahead. Can you add more water to make the soup? 22oz doesn’t seem like enough for all those veggies
Sure, you can add more water.
starting Monday!! Stoked.
Day 3 and i have lost 6 lbs so far. Probably would have been more but i’m addicted to Mt. Dew lol. I did cut back on it though. I was very unsure when i started this, but im convinced now ! Thanks Life Health And Beauty for sharing!!
I just started day 4 and I’ve already lost 7 lbs! Bring on the bananas!
I am currently on day 5 of this diet and thus far I’ve lost 8 lbs. 🙂 I work third shift so I’ve had to adjust slightly when I eat things to accommodate my sleep/wake schedule. I’m not sure if that has any influence on this diet and success or not. However, I’m pleased with results thus far. On banana day, I made “shakes” with the bananas and milk combined, as I am not fond of bananas at all. This was the only way I could tolerate them. Otherwise, on day 5 and going strong!
my comment is that u are a very patient person. The one good thing I read is that on veggie day u can have a baked potato
Im so excited about this diet! So my only question is on day 5-7 the soup can be eaten for breakfast is this correct? Thank you and i will post results afterwards!
From day 4-7.
A friend of mine did this quite a few years ago. She kept on the diet for over a year. She did a week break in between. In the free weeks she called them she ate 3 to 6 ounces of protein. Usually fish or chicken baked. At least a couple times a month she would eat red meat. Other than that she lived on this diet! I couldn’t believe she could stick to this diet when nothing had ever helped before. She never starved! She carried Ziploc bags or plastic bowls of either soup,raw fruit or vegetables and all day long she would be chewing on something. She drank lemon water and black coffee. When she started she wore a size 26/28. When she got married she wore a size 8 dress. She has put some weight back on but she says she is comfortable. She still eats the soup for lunch or dinner. I am going to do this because I know it worked for her. I never knew the whole layout of the diet.If it takes me a while that’s going to have to be fine! I didn’t get this weight over 7 days and it’s not going to go away in seven days. I’ll keep in touch. I would like to ask can you drink tomatoe juice instead of the tomatoes? I can’t eat seeds or hulls. I’m fine with the rest! Thank you for all your patience!
Tomato juice is fine (sugar free).
My daughter and I started the diet yesterday and I have lost 6lbs and she lost 4. I’m dreading day 4 but these first two have been good. We have exercised with the diet so that May have something to do with our weight loss. The exercise is nothing major I just took about a 30 min walk through my neighborhood during the evening each day. Will keep updating our progress
After 5 days…down 11.1 pounds! It really works!
Wow, you’re lucky!! I’m on Day 6 and have only lost 4 pounds. I’m following every step exactly. This has been very disheartening for me. I spent 2 weeks worth of grocery budget on all these fruits and veggies, and I basically lost nothing. (except a weeks’ worth of grocery money) I even have been doing exercises and riding my stationary bike. I lost 3 pounds the first day and only 1 since then. Very very very depressing!!
Can you lose twice the amount of weight if you did it twice, back to back?
Yes you can, but it’s recommended to make at least 3 days break between.
on day seven when it says to drink fruit juices are these store bought fruit juices or do I need to make them? If we buy the fruit juices what do I need to be looking for?
Only homemade.
I heard about this “Soup Diet” many years ago. I love fruits and vegetables so I hope this will work for me. I will be 52 tomorrow and I want to shed about 15 pounds. I started the GM Diet Plan this morning.
I started this yesterday. Had just watermelon and cantaloupe all day ( nibbled on it throughout day bc I am a server) drank maybe 2 glasses of water. I’m on day two and was so glad I got to eat a potato (substance) day 1 was hard! Was hungry but felt bloated from the melon liquid. Not giving up tho!
Same here…Feeling hungry and nauseated too…Not giving up either 🙂
You have amazing patience!! I will start this tomorrow. Get to the store today. I think Ive read it all, my only question is fruit juices. I know my kids tell me “fruit juice” on the label is not fruit juice. How careful do I need to be?
Thanks, looking forward to this
Your kids are right. Make your own homemade fruit juice.
For those asking for results I completed the 7 day diet yesterday, lost a total 0f 6 pounds..I followed the directions to the very end with no exceptions..
I weighed myself after day 3……8.5lbs lost. Can’t wait to see the final results on Thursday!!!!! The amazing thing to me is my skin is appropriately shrinking with my weight and not leaving me with saggy skin.
Did you loose any more weight?
Today was my “prep” day…. lots of carbs. I am 35 lbs overweight & wondering if I can continue on this diet after the 7 days?!
I had my personal trainer read this diet & he explained to me what was about to happen to my body! I am ready… Thank you, so much for making this available to us…
I WILL reply with my daily results..
You can continue with this diet but make 3-7 days break, and in the meantime don’t take more than 2000 calories daily and stay hydrated.
I finished the plan yesterday. Only lost 6lb but I have only lost 26lb in the past 8 weeks on the military diet. Total since april 32lb. 6 lb Not the big loss that I wanted. Hope I don’t gain it back this holiday weekend.
Donna chin up!! To lose 6 Lbs in the midst of losing 26lbs prior is astounding!!!
This is the first diet I felt I could complete. I am on day 3 and have not been hungry. I feel blotted perhaps from the water. Is vinegar ok on the veggies? Can I put a little lemon juice in my water?
White or wine vinegar is OK, lemon juice in water is also OK.
Can we go back to eating meat after day 7?
Yes you can. If you want to keep your new weight take no more than 2000 calories daily.
A ton of questions and answers but no results offered?????
On day 2. I lost 2.5lbs! Drinking lots of water! Not feeling hungry! Going well!
I lost 4.3 lbs total.
I’m on day 5 and after following this I’m down 4.1 lbs. Day 4, the banana day only yielded a 1 ounce loss. Not sure if anyone else has has the same problem as me but I have been extremely hungry every day. Water helps for a bit but not enough. Anyone else have the same issue?
same here and only stayed the same after day 5 loved the first 3 days!! still feel good so unless today there is a good number I will just repeat day 1 for my 7th day cant eat the soup! so maybe that what s wrong with me.. anyways good luck keep the updates! =)
From day 4 you have soup for breakfast but if you feel extremely hungry during the day you can take another bowl of soup (from day 4 to day 7).
After day 2, the morning of day 3 I had lost 6 lbs. So excited and pumped to see what the rest of the week holds!! Yay!!
On day 5 I had gained 3 oz and on day 6 I gained 1 lb 3 oz..I have followed this diet to the letter, has this happened to anyone else??? On day 6 I just show a total weight loss of 4 lbs.
DT, I am sure LH&B will have an answer too, but how hydrated were you when you started the diet? Often when I start diets that having drinking a lot of water I will actually gain 5+ pounds the first few days from just properly hydrating my body..then the weight loss from the diet itself occurs.. So often I will drink about a gallon of water per day a couple days before starting a diet like this and then use that weight as my starting weight to go by..
I’m pretty sure I probably wasn’t as well hydrated when I started as I should have been. I am on day 4 and I “peeked” yesterday and I had lost 3 lbs. But I can tell a huge difference in my complexion; the dark circles under my eyes are gone and the little fat pads have just about completely plumped back out, making the area under my eyes look 10 years younger. I’ve certainly learned a huge lesson about my fluid intake.
On Day 6 and 7, are potatoes allowed? It was mentioned on Day 2, but not 6 and 7. Thanks!
No potatoes on day 6 and 7.
Is the cup measurement a cup of cooked rice or a cup of uncooked rice that needs to be cooked?
Cooked
I know this sounds weird, but I am allergic to watermelon…are apples, cherries, pears, peaches, and berries enough of a fruit substitute for the day?
Yes, it’s enough.
Is diet soda okay on this diet? Thanks.
No way.
I’ve read through all of the comments, and alot of my questions were answered, but I still have a few more. I plan on starting this on Sunday. Sorry for so many questions…..Are smoothies ok, made with fruit, alittle water and ice in a blender?***Is it ok to chop up a tomato and put in in the rice on tomato day?***Is hummus ok?***Is it possible to switch the time to have rice with a veggie on day 6? I have no way to heat up the rice while at work?***When you said we could have juice (even orange) do you mean fresh squeezed only or 100% juice from a store? Thank you!
Smoothie is OK, it is OK to put tomatoes in the rice, hummus is NOT OK, yes you can switch the time, fresh squeezed- not from a store.
can you have a baked potato with just salt and pepper
Yes you can.
can you have a plain baked sweet potato with cinnamon on it?
So do you eat the soup for day 4,5,6, and 7?
Yes.
Can you put tomato sauce or rotel in the soup
Yes you can put, but only if they don’t contain sugar (many do).
can you eat avocados on the fruit day? Can you have almond milk instead of regular milk? Thank you
No for avocados, almond and soy milk is OK.
When do you start the soup?
What about almonds? I am on day 3 and have lost 5 pounds.
Almond milk is OK but almonds no.
From the 4th day.
On day 5 & 6 “the feast day” do you eat the rice & Tomatoes along with the fruit and veggies from the previous days?
On day 6 you eat veggies.
im not a huge veggie eater but I love most beans. What kind of beans are recommended?
Avoid consumption of lima, kidney and pinto beans because they are high in calories.
Can you drink the drink called Naked? (The 100% fruit drink with no sugar added?) it’s 250 calories.
Use only homemade juice with fresh fruits.
I am on a pretty stringent workout program, so was wondering if there is enough protein in this diet to keep my energy level up for my workouts? Or should I wait until off the workout program.
Sorry but you need to wait until off the workout program.
Are avocados allowed as a fruit?
Avocados are not allowed.
Do you have to eat the soup on days 4-7?. Sorry, but I hate cooked cabbage.
If you don’t feel that hungry you don’t have to eat the soup.
Pickles, olives, pickled okra ok or no?
BIG NO to all.
Is there any substitute for the peppers in the soup?? Thanks for answering all questions it has really helped!! I’m on day two and going strong
You can substitute peppers with carrots. Good luck with the diet and stay strong. You will be surprised, just follow the rules.
Can any seasonings other than salt and pepper be used when making the vegetable soup? Such as beef bullion or some other sort of clear broth? Also, for the purposes of this diet are tomatoes considered a fruit or vegetable? Many people consider then a vegetable when they are actually a fruit is why I ask.
Dried herbs and spices can also be used. You can use low sodium vegetable broth that is 100% fat-free and low-calorie. In this diet tomatoes are considered as a vegetable.
Stop making it complicated people! Follow the menu given and you’ll see results fast.
For real. I’ve getting anxiety reading the comments. Just do it! Lol
In the soup recipe, can the water be substituted with low sodium veggie broth?
Water is the best, but if you want substitute make sure that low sodium vegetable broth is 100% fat-free and low-calorie.
What is consider a glass? 8 ounce or 12 ounce
8 ounce
What has been the minimum and maximum weight loss with people doing this diet?
Minimum weight loss is 11lbs and maximum 18lbs.
All fruit are allowed? Even fruit cups? Also all vegetables allowed except for corn? Is this right
Yes, all fruits are allowed, don’t use fruit cups (they contain sugar, aromas, artificial colors, additives, preservatives…). All vegetables allowed except corn.
First, I appreciate you taking time to answer every questions that are being asked. Thank you!
May I also ask if we can use raw honey instead of stevia? Can we take the GM soup from day 4 til day 7? And how much can we take per day? Lastly, a cup of rice can only be eaten once a day, and can I replace it with basmati rice? Thank you!
I am shopping tomorrow and beginning on Thurs. I think I’ll freeze the bananas and blender them with the milk. The thought of drinking milk makes me gag :/
Thanks Anna and thank you too for reading us. You can use raw honey instead of stevia but don’t use more than 1/2 tbsp or else you’ll end up putting up extra calories. GM soup is consumed from day 4 till day 7 for breakfast. Because this soup is low caloric it is permitted to have another bowl through the day if you find yourself getting hungry. Only regular brown rice is allowed, so no basmati rice (white or brown).
Do u have to eat the soup? Can u just cancel the soup out
You don’t have to eat the soup if you don’t fell hungry.
So skip breakfast? Just start w rice for lunch?
Yes.
It was great to hear your answers. Just to make sure, only one cup of brown rice the whole day, right? Thank you again very much! I’m motivated to try this!
Yes, for the whole day you have only one cup of brown rice.
I lost 8.1lbs in 7 days! I feel great with my result. Thank you!!!
You’re welcome.
Can I substitute cauliflower in place of the onions in the soup? Also to everyone that has been asking, I’m on my 3rd day and have lost 7lbs so it does work.
Yes, you can substitute cauliflower in place of the onions in the soup.
What if I’m diabetic?? Type 2
You have answer to that question in the comments below the diet plan.
I can’t eat tomatoes what can I substitute
Please read the comments beneath the diet plan.
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but where does this diet stand on dried fruit? Allowed? Not allowed? Thank you! I’m half way through day one and going strong.
Curious to hear your results Brittney!
Dried fruits are not allowed in this diet. Good luck with the diet, and we are awaiting your review.
On the banana and milk day…it says that we should have 8-10 bananas and 3 glasses of milk but when u did the breakdown there are 4 glasses of milk. So do we do 3 or 4 glasses of milk?
3 glasses.
i just had corn for lunch and no where in my copy of this diet did it say anything about not eating corn. This is very confusing because it seems like there are many different versions to this diet, how is one suppose to know what you can and cannot have?
Yes, there are several versions of this diet: Vegetarian, Indian, Original (not modified – with beef meat)…
Also, ive heard eating too many bananas can be bad for you.. in an article i just read it said health professionals only recommend 2-3 bananas per day.
Don’t worry about that. If you was thinking about potassium intake with bananas, they don’t exceeds the daily permitted amount.
I heard that corn is not good on vegitable day, is that true?
Yes, corn is not allowed on vegetable day.
Hello. What can we put on the rice? Just spices after we cook it?
Extra lite Olive oil is permitted, less than a spoon.
do you have to use cooked rice? Can you use instant?
Yes you have to use cooked rice, do not use instant.
How much daily exercise is required for this to work?
No exercise required.
Is it okay for breastfeeding mamas?
No diet for breastfeeding mamas and pregnant women.
When it says to drink milk, what kind of milk is recommended? – 2%, 1%, or skim?
Skim milk is recommended for this diet.
Going to try it !! Starting tomorrow…….. will give updates ……Is there anyone that has already started ??? How’s it going ???
Started the diet on July 7th and so far it’s been working…10 lbs lost and still have my last day to finish. Happy to have any amount of lost! Try it…
How is it going? Loose any weight yet?
Can we use water packets with our water? Can we use any dressing with the veggies?
Yes you can use water packets. No dressing except malt, white or wine vinegar, squeezed lemon, garlic, herbs.
The rice is it one cup cooked rice?
Yes, one cup of cooked rice.
Can you do the diet if you’re pregnant?
Why on earth would anyone think to do this while pregnant, wow.
Absolutely not! Pregnancy is not the time to diet.
I m also a diabetic type2 not on insulin but take metformin is it still not safe to do the gm diet
There are people with diabetes type 2 who have done it. I think the best thing is to ask your doctor and show him the plan.
Should we stop using any diet pills ( ACE or Garcinia Cambogia) during this period? or can we continue to use them in conjunction?
It’s okay, you can take your diet pills.
Why no protein? And does this burn fat – like stomach fat?
This diet is without protein, yes it burn fat – stomach fat too.
Amy word on how this diet affects thyroid disease sufferers?
For thyroid disease sufferers, these diet plans will not work that smoothly. If your doctor hasn’t suggested you any particular diet to treat hypothyroidism, then you can follow this diet. For any case, it is best to consult your family doctor before taking any decisions.
Can activa yogurt be a milk substitute?
And what about naked juice 100 green smoothies?
Activia yogurt is ok, orange juice is also ok.
I dink TONS of water and UN-SWEET tea, and coffee JUST BLACK. Can I use the tea especially with the water intake since there’s NO sugar?
Yes you can use tee, especially green tea.
I’ll admit I am addicted to coffee – l drink it all day. I do drink it black. If I would try and stop drinking it I would get sever headaches. Can I drink coffee as well as the water?
As I said to theresa, coffee is not recommended, but if you do have it then use stevia as a sweetener.
Can you incorporate meat in there somewhere
I am sorry but this diet is without meat.
can you eat something else other than tomatoes? is coffee allowed on this diet?
If you don’t like tomatoes you can eat red carrots, watermelon or papayas. Coffee is not recommended but if you do have it use only stevia as a sweetener.
if the diet works well for you, how much time, if any, should you wait to repeat?
Recommended break between each cycle is 3-7 days.
Day 5…is it just rice, tomatoes, and water? Or include day 4s fruits and veggies?
Day 5 is just soup, rice, tomatoes and water.
Can wine be consumed on the fruit day and can beer and or potato vodka be consumed on the veggiable day?
It is not recommended, but if you must then take only white wine and beer, but not more than 2 glasses.
On the first day, are you allowed fruit juice as well?
It is allowed orange juice(2 glasses max) and coconut water.
I am diabetic and am on insulin! I take a shot before each meal. Any idea how a diabetic can handle this diet. It sounds great and I would love to try it…
People who are suffering from hypertension, diabetes and heart problems are advised not to go on a GM diet.
I have hypertension that is comtrolled with medication. Can I do this diet if I monitor my blood pressure? I’m not really understanding what the reason you wouldn’t be able to do this.
In your case it’s best for you to consult with your doctor, or other qualified health care professional before going on any diet.
So, on the day of tomatoes, how will tomatoes keep you fullall day? Also, I have acid reflux, how will this diet effect me?
It is soup, rice and tomatoes, not just tomatoes. And about acid reflux, there are some people that stated GM diet has helped them to overcome the problem with acid reflux.
On the banana and milk day do you still drink all the water? Or is milk the only liquids for the day?
On day 4 with the banana and milk is that all you can have? Besides drinking water. And can you chew shirtless gum?
Please read the Note under the diet plan (you can eat diet soup). Yes, you can chew a gum.
Keep drinking 8-12 glasses of water even on day four as well.
I saw where you can have spices, but does that include salt too?
Yes salt is OK too.
Does it matter if it is brown or white rice?
The only form of starch allowed in the GM diet is brown rice.
What kind of vegetable soup do you eat? Can it just be a campbells from the can veggie soup or is there a special recipe to follow
I think this soup is the same weight loss soup my sister in law once told me about. Make up a good sized batch and keep it in the fridge . Just heat up a bowl when you’re ready.
Any kind of home cooked vegetable soup, but not from the can. Recommended ingredients are: Onions, Cabbage, Tomatoes, Green peppers, Celery, Water.
green peppers? does that mean bell peppers??
Yes, green bell peppers.
I’m starting this diet tomorrow see how goes
Iv tried all sorts diets n pill nothing worked instead ended up putting more weight really depressing
RESULTS?
How is it going? Loose any weight yet?
What happens after the seven days? What do you eat? If you go back to normal eating, won’t you gain it all right back?
If you want to keep your weight after seventh day take five small meals daily instead of three square ones (2,000 calories a day).
my sisters wedding is on the 27th of this month and I need to lose 10 lbs or more having trouble getting it off has anyone had any luck doing this for the 7 days?
I did back in July but only went 5 days because of a holiday. I lost 17 lbs and had an Injury so I literatly could only get up to go to the bathroom those days so I wasn’t burning many calories. Was going to do it again recently but found out I was pregnant. Plan to use it again to help get baby weight off!
This diet works 100% and you can try it.
what about rice don’t like it what would replace it
Try Cauliflower rice. Take a head of cauliflower and put it in a food processor until it is a rice-like consistency, then fry it with a very small amount of olive oil. It tastes good and only has about 35 calories per cup.
There is no replacement for rice in this diet.
I’m gonna try but I have diverticulitis and I hope taking out the seeds will help me do this.
can you use spices, like slat, pepper, dill, basil, oregano, mint, etc.?
Yes you can use spices.
Can you use ranch or other salad dressings for the vegetables?
Salads may be dressed with vinaigrette or olive oil.
I’m allergic to milk, what can I substitute for milk?
You can use soy milk, or you can remove it entirely from the diet and replace it with fruits.
Will see how it happens
Well, did it work?
What if your allergic to bananas? Is there a substitute? And the days that you can eat rice for lunch (day 5-7) what do you eat for breakfast and dinner?.
Papayas (pawpaws) are the best substitute for bananas. Kiwis and apricots are also good substitute for bananas. For breakfast is vegetable soup, rice for lunch, and six to seven tomatoes throughout the day.
I cannot eat tomatoes, what are the replacement for this?
Please read the comments.
What if you are allergic to tomatoes?
You can use fruits or vegetables rich with lycopene, like watermelon, red carrots and papayas.
When can you repeat this diet? How long should you wait in between?
3-7 days
No, I do not suggest having it during this diet.
Can you eat Hummus? Sorry for the repeat I didn’t see my last post
