General Motors Diet Plan (Reality and Perceptions)

After trying out all sort of exercises and ways out what I was left with, was the option to follow a diet as this was the last resort for me to shed the extra kgs that I don’t remember exactly when I put on. The extra kgs came to my notice quite by chance and now I wanted to loose weight as soon as possible, the same time one more friend of mine was following this quite well known diet plan constructed by General motors for the employees mostly above 40 (bt now who will wait till then), to reduce extra weight and she suggested me that why don’t you try it out. Hmm!! The idea was not bad I felt and I went on the diet the very day after

The first day only fruits , alright fruits that was not sounding this difficult but I think it was just the sound as when I faced the things practically , it was not just difficult at one point of time it is quite impossible for you to have a control over your senses and to just have fruits ignoring people around enjoying food lavishly. But once over
( though the day seems longer than other days ), you really feel you have achieved some thing but just the day is over and not the diet ..

The second day starts, when you are going to have only vegetables , now that is difficult fruits alright but vegetables those are supposed to be cooked and cant be eaten raw , As in this was the only reason why human opted to cook vegetables as those were not to be eaten raw Right ?. But now the reverse evolution is happening and people are suggested to go for raw ones Voah !! This is a bit mad, but whatever may be the ancient men were healthier than us. So in morning I boiled few vegetables for me and had some of them for breakfast Oh ! My God!!! That was the most terrible thing I ever had in my whole life I felt like puking but some how I put that inside my stomach and came for office. I brought some tomatoes for the break, having tomatoes sitting amongst you colleagues looks really odd but I made my self understand that this all looking odd is about how you u feel , if you don’t feel odd you wont look odd and yaa !! Things were better in coming days I never felt odd in having my diet food amongst all or having a carrot sitting in KFC, every thing seemed normal to me. How easy it would have been if you could have lost weight also just by thinking this way.The day was a bit longer for me I felt weak and heavy headed but successfully it was over , Yuppie !! I had never thought I will be able to make it

Third day was a mixture of fruits and vegetables and it was comparatively easy, as it was a weekend and we also went out for a movie so the weakness was not quite realizable

Fourth day was the friendship day and that day I had to survive on Skimmed milk and bananas . But the day being the weekend I got up late and unlike diet plan I had 3 bananas and a full glass of skimmed milk , this is like I had three meals together but what to do , when you are dieing of hunger you don’t remember anything not even your die hard commitment towards your diet plan . On an outing with friends you too have something and the whole idea of dieting evaporates some where, but don’t loose heart as there are few more days to go there you can cover up this is what I thought at least

Fifth day was not that difficult as my body was getting used to of staying hungry or totally running only on that much fuel, may be this was the whole aim of diet to make your body used to of less food

Sixth and seventh day were same and rather very smooth as compared to early ones , on seventh day I just had few vegetables whole day and I was feeling rather more than OK hey that’s good , the diet not just helped me to shed extra kgs rather also gave me a good self control . Now when people see me eating they are zapped and ask hey!! you are on diet right and I am actually fed up of telling everyone that its over and the next question that I encounter is ,then is this the real amount of food you have !!, shit !!

A good experience but finally extremes are not what you can be always at all times , moderation is what is required . So after going through extremes sticking to the moderate diet does not seem that difficult to me , May be this is what was required !!!
