after day 7

The diet recommends to take a three day break before embarking on the next seven days. i know of people who continue on it. after seven days yes definitely lighter really really lighter the belly has shrunk. BUT a really difficult diet. One thing i know because of this diet is that salt is not good for the body specially in temperate climate as the one I am in. Indian diet and food is sort of intense on salt considering the temperate climate. We loose a lot of thru sweat in India not so much here. My swelling is definitely related to it. I would embark on this diet gain once my cast comes off and I am able to exercise. The diet is tough and it is important to buddy up on this one.

Day 6 and seven

It is day seven yeyeyeyeyeye
about day 6 I cheated, with sour cream and cheese. spring clening and a diet regimen do not work together and weekends are tough on a diet paln. apart from that everything else worked fine.
Day seven again vegetables. I think the toughest part of this diet is figuring out waht to eat. Vegetable days, nothing for breakfast comes to mind and rice and tomato day.
I will be glad when this is over.

Day 5 on GM diet

Today was supposed to be tomato and rice day. I was rather excited about it, but it is not as great. To be honest so far I am not enjoying any of it other than the soup that I had yesterday. I cheated a little on that one as I added the tomato and red pepper soup to make the broth more interesting. I think I did pretty good, I sauted the onions with rosemary and thyme which gave the soup a wonderful flavor too bad I did not have bay leaves but for next time I shall add that as well. I am not feeling the diet yet. It is a tough one to follow to the t. I am falling back on the drinking water requirement not too pleased about it. ooooo forgot to mention I was so hungry yesterday that i gave in to the need of wanting to eat and had to eat the banana. Was i delighted???? I had two bananas and found out NO migraines yey!!! so that was exciting.

Coming back to the tomato and rice, I was looking forward to rice and thought I would make a nice tomato sauce with cumin and coriander being the main flavors. Well the end result was very tart sooooo all was not well on this diet. Left with drinking water and maybe tomato as salad tonight:-(

4th day on GM

well well well, by far the hardest day for me. Today is just banana and milk day. It seems rather easy buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut for me banana is out as they have been known to trigger migraines. I am more scared of my headaches than to brave a banana. So it is going to be milk nd tea today, I shall have the famed soup tonight and am just hpoing that I will sustain and stay true to diet till tonight. I am not weighing in but I am feeling lighter.

Day three on GM diet

The diet plan is going well, the quirky part is drinking water (i love water it is ny fav drink) and then having to use the bathroom. That is too much anyway. It is not an easy diet follow as the tummy rumbles and grains have become an essential part of food that a meal without grains seems incomplete. yesterday was all vegetable day, needless to say that by the time dinner time hit i was hungary and had planned on having peppers, well they did not fill me up. BUT i am sticking to the diet so day 3 you are on:-)

GM diet

Being overweight has been a story of life for the past 8 years since having the thyroid issue, not for the lack of trying but because of lack of consistency and being alone in this endeavour. It is easy to state that I am overweight therefore I need to be taking care of it but when I am involved in a family situation being alone for losing weight is very true.
anyway as I will be forty this year, I have resolved to take care of this issue as soon as possible. i am very committed this time (i do know that i have said that to myself in the past but this time I know it is different). so the new experiment is the GM diet. I can not excercise but I have to begin somewhere.... can not excercise due to broken foot hope that heals. I want it to be perfect on the 31st, wish to come out of my cast so I can begin taking lessons in swimming pronto. it will take some time to get back to walking jogging etc.
Today is day two of GM, i am keeping to it except my tea. Wish i could build in some excercise...
