What is the fuss all about?

The GM diet claims to burn fats. It is a week’s diet or 7 days diet plan. The diet focuses on the intake of low glycaemic index foods with high fiber, moderate protein, and low-fat food. It also emphasizes a lot on the intake of plenty of water. The diet claims that a combination of fiber, fruits, vegetables, and water triggers detoxification with fat breakdown and promotes weight loss.

What to eat, when to eat and how to eat?

Before we move on to Indian GM Diet Reviews on Weight Loss, Its Effects and Side Effects, we need to know the following. The GM diet is a 7-day diet. Each day you eat different food groups along with a minimum of 2 -3 liters of water.

Day 1: First day of the diet comprises of only fruits. Banana is prohibited. The fruits are allowed to eat in any form – fruit juice or salad or stewed. The best fruits that you can consume are fruits with high water content. Watermelon, muskmelon, oranges, mosambi are few examples.

Day 2: On the second day eat lots of vegetables either in the form of salads, boiled grilled, soups or juices. You are allowed to consume boiled potato too. Oil is prohibited.

Day 3: Day 3 has a combination of fruits and vegetables. The only difference is to avoid potato on this day.

Day 4: This day you consume as many as 8 – 10 bananas with almost 4 glasses of milk throughout the day.

Day 5: Vegetarians can have paneer and other proteins along with vegetables preferably only tomatoes. Non-vegetarians can start with 1 – 2 servings of lean meat or fish or 6 eggs in a day.

Day 6: This day you can have a bowl of brown rice and vegetables of any choice without oil.

Day 7: Last day of the diet allows you to have a cup of brown rice, any choice of vegetables and fruit juices.

Do you need something extra?

The Original Gm diet does not mention anything at all about Exercises. But to make it healthier, you can support the GM diet with a proper exercise regime, rest and water intake. Though exercise is not included in the GM diet, moderate intensity exercise will give added benefit. It helps inappropriate weight loss with a toned body.

Indian GM Diet Reviews on Weight Loss Its Effects and Side Effects

Ok, all said and done about what Gm diet is, It is time to see the  Indian GM diet reviews on weight loss, its effects, and side effects. The fiber-rich diet reduces cholesterol, cleans the intestines and thus, clears the extra weight of waste products. Lack of carbohydrates and proteins, mobilize and break down fats for energy. It also breaks down muscles for instant energy. The calories consumed are way less than the calories required by the body. It puts the body into negative energy balance and thus promotes weight loss.

Why does this diet work?

  • Fiber-rich low-fat fruits keep you full for a long period of time. The juicy fruits detoxify the body and prepare the body for the next 6 days of dieting. Juicer the fruits more water is provided to the body.
  • Vegetables satisfy the need for vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Whereas potatoes fulfill carbohydrate needs after a day of an only fruit diet. It is stored as glycogen for energy.
  • Pectin-rich bananas provide instant energy and help proper digestion.
  • Milk, chicken, fish, and eggs are protein sources.
  • Brown rice is a complex fiber-rich carbohydrate.

Minus points of GM diet:

  • There is no written research to prove the benefits of the GM diet
  • The first source of energy used in the body in GM diet is stored carbohydrates, then muscles and then fats
  • Most of the weight loss is water weight
  • Despite consuming ample water, the body might go into dehydration as the body uses fluids for energy
  • The diet is not well balanced on day to day basis, Rather nutrients are divided differently in the 7-day duration.
  • With constant hunger, the person may feel tired, have headaches and acidity in initial days
  • It is a short term diet which may backfire if post-GM diet, the eating habits are faulty
  • There is a metabolic slowdown in the body that prevents the body from normal functioning
  • Short term effects

Who should not follow GM diet?

  • Pregnant women
  • Lactating women
  • Diabetics
  • Should not follow a diet during menstruation as weight loss status will not be clear.
  • Individuals below 18 years

Endnote and My verdict on GM diet:

So now that you have this post on Indian GM diet reviews on weight loss, its effects, and side effects, I hope some of your confusion is cleared. No matter how effective the diet is you better know whether you really need to follow that diet or no. If you use GM wisely, this diet can really help you a lot. especially if you are stuck on a particular weight for some time, you should try this GM diet as a plateau breaker. It is not advisable to follow the GM diet on a regular basis. So follow it only once a month to avoid all the minutes of this diet. Once in a while following GM diet will detoxify the body and keep the mind fresh. It is just a kick start for weight loss.

So this was all about the Indian GM diet reviews on weight loss, its effects, and side effects. GM diet is nutritionally unbalanced which leads to impaired immunity, body weakness, and compromised metabolism. But if you take the concept and bring about some healthy changes in the diet, you can improve the effects of the diet on your body. Take professional advice after the GM diet and also before restarting GM diet.

      PCOD patients can follow this diet once in a month. but don’t follow it more often as this may lead to a further imbalance of hormones.
