GM Diet, Day 5

GM Diet Day-by-Day Account: Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4

Today, January 26, 2013 is my Day 5 on the GM Diet. My energy in the past days, though lower than usual, was enough to keep me going the entire day. I love how this diet still allows me to go out and do things.

Here’s what Day 5 says:

Day Five Today is feast day. You will eat beef and tomatoes. Eat two 10 oz. portions of lean beef. Hamburger is OK. Combine this with six whole tomatoes. On day five you must increase your water intake by one quart. This is to cleanse your system of the uric acid you will be producing.

2. The diet plan claims to achieve a weight loss ranging from 10 to 17 lbs, if complemented with exercise.
3. It’s also a sort of “detoxifying” diet.
4. I’ve decided to take my weight loss goal more seriously.
5. This is my first try to follow a diet plan. If it ends up a failure, I’ll just charge it to experience. Haha.
