So, I’ve decided to try this GM Diet that many friends have
been raving about. My sister actually did it a few times before her wedding and
lost a considerably huge amount of weight. The downfall is that this is a detox
program, and to achieve longer
results, [ unfortunately ], at the end of the day, it boils down to discipline
in eating right and getting at least 3 workouts in a week. There’s no other way
but that.
I was skeptical about this because I’m not a huge fan of fad
diets. But after coming home from our trip to South Africa, I had gained 4
kilos in 18days and was feeling super bloated!
When I saw a guy friend of mine post pictures of himself
after the diet, I was convinced that if he could do it, I could. I spoke to a
few girlfriends to do it together but apart from Mas, the rest didn’t want to –
yet.
It was on Wednesday itself that I decided we had to do it
and it had to start the very next day (cause I was off to Bali on the 13th).
So, I told my husband that night and he was surprisingly very supportive
(normally, he would say “nonsense all these diets! You will hurt yourself” but
he didn’t… so yay!)
There are a lot of sites that teaches one to do the GM Diet,
but I went on the actual GM Diet website
to make sure I was doing it right.

Day 1: Friday 6th
February, 2015
The night before, I was yakking away with a friend and
forgot that I needed to stock my fridge up with fruits.
So before my yoga class at 1030am, I found a green apple and jambu to fill me up. Drank loads of water and off for yoga.
So before my yoga class at 1030am, I found a green apple and jambu to fill me up. Drank loads of water and off for yoga.
10:00am: Class was a little bit more advanced than usual. I
was feeling shaky all over, especially when doing the “fallen angel” pose. I
did one headstand before giving in to exertion. Drank water.
11:30 am: Had leftover of cut apple and jambu. Placed some
raisins in the container that I brought with me to class and drank 750ml of
water
12:10 pm: Was feeling very light-headed. Took a nap.
1:00 pm:
Had Stripjuice Promegranate juice before heading out to get groceries done
4:00 pm:
Had a cup of cut watermelon
4: 30 pm: Had a
bottle of Stripjuice Orange.
7:00 pm:
Had ¼ watermelon, ¼ honeydew, 1/5 papaya. Felt so full . Couldn’t eat my red
apples.
My husband shares some fruit with me. He's on a juicing diet. |
8:30 pm: Stripjuice Grape (1/2 bottle)
9:00 pm: Rubbed my essential oils on my neck and soles of feet. Was so tired. Slept right away.
Day 1 completed. Yay.
Day 2: Saturday 7th
February, 2015
It’s all about vegetables today! I’m allowed to eat starchy
vegetables too. The site recommends sweet potatoes for those living in the tropics.
I wonder if Corn is a starchy vege? Will google it later. Cause bibik boiled
corn for me. And I can’t resist corn.
7:15 am: 1
sweet potato & a glass of water
9: 30 am: Had a
cob of corn. Feeling ok. Not hungry. Just peckish. Cause when I’m at my desk, I’m
normally with sweets or biscuits. Bad habit I know. Since I can’t nibble on my
raisins, will go prepare my brocolli and sawi for early lunch.
12:30 pm: Ate my Broccoli and saw. Drank my Goodness Greens from La Juiceria. Was feeling a bit lethargic now. I took some Peace and Calm YL essential oils and massaged it over my temples and neck. Took a quick nap.
(That's why I recommend friends to start this diet on a weekend, cause the first two days are really hard)
4:30 pm: I nibbled on some lettuce and another bottle of Goodness Greens Juice.
6:00 pm: Had sawi and broccoli again. Feeling really sleepy again. Bathed and was in bed by 8:30pm
Day 2 completed. Yay!
Day 3: Sunday 8th February, 2015
Woke up really early and went to weigh myself after taking a swig of water from my water bottle.
I have lost 1.2kilos!
Feeling determined, did some light breathing exercises after subuh prayers and prodded downstairs to make my breakfast.
7:00 am: A glass of warm water. Boiled cabbage and watermelon.
8:00 am: Drank a bottle of Stripjuice Grapefruit
9:00 am: Ate 1/4 of watermelon
Packed my La Juiceria Beet Aid juice and some cherry tomatoes out in case I got peckish while on the go.
12:30 pm: Had Japanese lunch after dropping kids off at Laura's birthday party
1:30 pm: Feeling more energised (did not feel sleepy today!). Went to get my stock of almond milk from StripJuice at Jalan Telawi, Bangsar. I met Nicole for the first time. She's so pretty!(She didn't want her pictures taken though. )
Went to take the girls to visit the late Tunku Abdul Rahman's museum and residence.
5:00 pm: We came home and I was feeling peckish. Drank my Grapefruit and decided to prepare a healthy wrap for hubs. (When I prepare food or bake, I don't feel as hungry. Weird I know, so I had to get my hands busy to ease my mind off the cookies on the counter). Ate half a Washington apple.
5:45 pm: I had my cabbage and cauliflower soup dinner. Felt full. More energised. Felt like I could head down to the gym for a 30 minute run. Decided against it to blog the day so I won't forget.
8:53 pm: Drank my Pom juice from Strip juice. Heading to bed.

I was not supposed to eat beans because it's high in calories, but I love them, plus they're still considered vege, so I cut myself some slack here. (pic from internet) |
Grapejuice for the hubs. Iman loves it too! |
