Weight Loss Meal Plan- 7 Days Gm Diet Plan –If you are looking to lose weight in as fast as 1 week, there are several fast weight loss diets you can adopt.  These diet plans which are mostly low-carb diets can give you that bikini body in just 1 week.

However, the plan I will be discussing in this article is the GM diet plan. By the end of this article, you will know everything there is about this diet plan.

 

What is the GM Diet Plan?

The GM Diet Plan also known as the General Motors Diet Plan is a popular low-carb diet plan. It helps you to lose weight fast. The General Motors Corporation developed this weight loss meal plan in collaboration with the US Department of Agriculture and the FDA ( 1).

They designed it to help their employees stay healthy and fit. They also had the diet plan tested in 1985 at the Johns Hopkins Research Center before it got final approval (2).

The GM Diet mainly focuses on eating foods with high fiber content. It encourages eating foods with low fats, protein & carbohydrates content.

There have been reports from several people who followed the GM diet plan.

 

It is a popular opinion amongst them than this weight loss meal plan can help you lose between 9 and 16 pounds in just 7 days.

It is also one of the few free diet plans for weight loss.

 

You don’t have to buy any expensive foods and supplements to effective follow this diet plan.

You also don`t need to purchase any diet books as this diet plan is straightforward and easy to follow.

The interesting thing is that the Gm diet plan is not just a diet plan to lose weight. It also helps to detoxify your body.

 

This is because a lot of the foods recommended for the diet have high water content.

These foods help your body go through a detoxification process that also aids weight loss.

Another advantage of this weight loss meal plan is that it is not restrictive.

 

There are some modified versions of the diet like the Indian and Vegetarian version.

 

 

 

 

How Does the GM Diet Work?

The General Motors diet is to last for 7 days by design. In the first 3 days, you will focus on eating foods with low calories only.

Basically, you will eat fruits and veggies for breakfast, lunch, and dinner throughout these 3 days.

 

And the total calories you should consume for these 3 days would be between 1000-1200 calories every day.

From day 4-7, you can start eating some protein-rich foods.

You can also start introducing some carbs like brown rice alongside banana and milk to your diet.

Proponents of the GM diet suggest that you can repeat the diet several times.

Although, repetition should be within a 5 days gap to achieve weight loss target.

Is the GM Diet Plan Effective to Lose Weight?

The General Motors weight loss meal plan has been a popular choice among people trying to lose weight over the years.

In fact, several people say it is the most effective meal plan for extreme weight loss in a short period of time. However, a lot of people still question the effectiveness of the diet plan.

 

A recent study shows that the GM diet plan is not only effective but also a fast weight loss diet. The diet helps you lose about 10 pounds and more in just 1 week. This makes it preferable to normal weight loss diets that just help you lose about 2 pounds in the same time frame.

 

You can increase the effectiveness of the diet by combining it with a daily exercise routine.

This will improve your body`s metabolism and help you lose weight faster.

However, you should only engage in lightweight and low-intensity exercises.

This is because you will have less strength as a result of your low-carb intake.
