GM Diet Indian Version (Veg & Non-Vegetarian Meal Plans)

General Motors diet (original version), as you know, is one of the most popular low calorie diets for weight loss in 7 days.

Whereas, the GM Diet Indian Version is an easy to follow, modified version with all the food choices within the parameters of the original GM diet chart.

Except the 5th and 6th days, the remaining days contain vegetarian foods, which are same for both western and Indian GM diet followers.

What is the GM Diet Indian Version?

The Original GM Diet is actually designed for the employees of the General Motors Corp and hence you’ll find the inclusion of beef on the non-vegetarian days 5 and 6 respectively.

This GM Diet for India is suggested mainly for two types of people.

• Non-vegetarians who generally eat Chicken, mutton, eggs and fish and wish to stay away from eating beef/read meat on day 5 and day 6.
• Vegetarians who only eat vegetables and dairy products.

Is the Indian GM Diet Plan as Effective as the Original?

Of-course, yes. The GM diet for India does not vary too much from the westernized or the original version except for the consumption of beef on Day 5 and Day 6 of the diet.

So, we’ve made just a few changes to the actual GM diet to suit the Indians who are either beef haters (non-vegetarians) or vegetarian.

Detailed day-wise and meal-wise diet plan can be found in their respective pages.

The GM diet vegetarian version is aimed at providing the best substitutes for meat without compromising on the effectiveness of the 7 days diet program.

GM Diet Tips for Best Weight Loss Results

Below are some basic, but important tips you should follow everyday during the GM diet Indian meal plan for weight loss.

• Stay away from Alcohol and Caffeine while on the GM diet.
• Have heavy breakfast, moderate lunch and a light dinner.
• Instead of overeating in just 1 meal, spread it to multiple small meals in a day.
• Drink enough water every day. Aim for at least 3 to 4 liters per day. It will help in flushing out the impurities from your body and see that your body does not hold any water weight aka fluid retention.
• Drink wonder soup whenever you’re hungry, rather than munching on unhealthy snacks.
• You can drink black coffee or green tea as many times as you want. But, make sure you’re not adding sugar, cream or honey in it.
• You can practice this diet program as many times as you want, but it is highly advised to take a minimum of 3 to 5 day break before you start another week of the diet.
• Fruit juices are not allowed except on the suggested days of the program.
• Pregnant women and those who’re breastfeeding their newborns should stay away from the diet.
• People with thyroid problems or diabetes should stay away from the diet.
• Don’t do heavy weight workouts during the initial 3 days of the diet. Since, you’re following a low-calorie diet, you won’t be having enough strength/stamina to do heavy workouts. Instead, perform simple Yoga poses while on the GM Diet program.
• Strength training workouts can be included from the 4th day onwards. You can also run on a treadmill or use an indoor exercise cycle to burn additional calories at home.

Chickpeas are no doubt an excellent source of protein.

But, they do contain lots of carbs, which is not recommended on the GM diet day 5 and day 6 as well.
