Diet Recipes With Fruits
Fruits
Almost all types of fruits can be eaten during the GM diet. Fruits are consumed on the first day of the week long meal plan. That said, not all fruits are approved for the diet. Among the fruits to avoid during the first day are bananas and avocados. These fruits contain more fat and carbohydrate content which can be difficult to digest by our digestive system. They only build up more pounds rather than burning them.
Bananas must be saved for the fourth day of the diet. On the 4th day, only bananas and milk can be eaten. Don’t go crazy with the bananas since by this time your appetite will be vastly reduced and you would no longer feel like eating up all the bananas. Try to buy the bananas slightly raw since you are buying them 4 days in advance. By the time it is the 4th day, the bananas will be ripe and ready to be eaten.
Fruits that are very sweet should likewise be avoided during a GM diet. Sugar tends to add up the calories and therefore become a hindrance towards weight loss. Among the ideal fruits that can be consumed in plenty during the diet include watermelons, berries and citrus produce.
Vegetables
Green, leafy vegetables are among the recommended items on the GM diet. They are high in fiber and are easily absorbed by the body during digestion. Vegetables are consumed during the second, sixth and seventh day of the diet. During the second day, a cup of baked potato can be consumed for breakfast while tomatoes are to used on the fifth day.
While it is important to be prepared in advance, many people like to buy vegetables fresh. If you are someone that likes fresh produce, then go ahead and buy it on the day of the diet but don’t give up on your diet just because you could not be bothered to buy vegetables for the day.
Meat
Meat products that can used while on the GM diet include only beef. Lean chicken can be used as a substitute for those folks that are averse to eating beef. Infact we have some great chicken recipes and a great chicken soup recipe. Beef is eaten during the fifth day and it is matched with tomatoes. Chicken or other form of white meat may be consumed during day seven.
Beverages
Dairy products such as milk and yogurt cannot be eaten until day 4. It’s best to keep them tucked away in your refrigerator until days four and seven. Milk is paired with bananas, while yogurt can be consumed together with vegetables on day seven. Fruit juice can be taken during the day two as long as they are freshly squeezed. It is highly discourage to drink packaged juices as they are already enriched with preservatives and are no longer fresh.
Starch
The only form of starch allowed in the GM diet is brown rice. Brown rice is eaten on the seventh day of the diet together with vegetables and dairy. It is important to eat only brown rice as it is high in fiber and low in calories. White rice is rather rich in carbohydrates and will only foster calorie buildup in the body.
There you go, a quick and really easy to remember grocery list. Like we mentioned before, this diet is really easy to follow and easy on the wallet too. Good luck and happy dieting.
I had come across this GM diet a year back. It’s a 7-day diet plan which is supposed to detox your body as well as make you lose weight as a bonus. Now there are hundreds of reviews out there. Some claim that it really works, making you lose anywhere between 2-5 kgs while some claim that it makes you gain more weight once you are back to your normal eating habits. Some say its unhealthy as the food choices are restricted especially proteins on some of the days….blah blah blah.
So I decided to give it a try, honestly I had done it before, very religiously and I lost 2 kgs, not bad if you ask me. The last day involves brown rice and veges and fruits for vegetarians so I though why not make something that I keep craving for. Oh ya it says to restrict salt and all that but cumon, I can’t take it that far. Its not like I am eating processed foods.
So brown rice, veges…something I crave for regularly…Indo-Chinese. So my new GM diet approved recipe was born – brown fried rice.
It was easy, quick and really satisfying (says me and not my family…they are not into Chinese food…whatever).
So I took out the biggest kadhai (Indian wok like thing) and tossed in a hell lotta veges, Chinese sauces and voila…yummy…yummy plate of rice.
Oh ya before I forget, I am not claiming anything in regards to GM diet, if you do go ahead with it, do not come back yelling at me if it doesn’t work. You can thank me if it does.
GM diet or not, these brown fried rice are worth a shot. You might not even miss your regular rice…maybe.
