How To Lose 17 Pounds In 7 Days
What Is The Plan?
What I’m talking about here is combining a strict diet plan with proper exercise. That’s the absolute best way to lose weight – and to lose weight naturally.
There are a few huge rules. First and foremost – NEVER skip meals or eat at irregular times. You want to hit every meal and eat it at the right time – consistency is key (1).
Second, make sure that your weight loss goal is realistic. If you weigh 300 pounds and want to lose 20 pounds in a narrow timeframe – that’s way more realistic than weighing 120 pounds and wanting to lose 20 pounds in a narrow timeframe (2).
It’s all about what YOUR body can do and what YOUR limits are. The most important thing with diet and exercise is that it’s SAFE diet and exercise.
Of course, you still have to pick the right diet plan. That’s why I want to talk about one of my favorites.
The Right Diet Plan To Lose 17 Pounds In 7 Days
One of my favorite diet plans (and one of the most popular) is the GM diet plan – or the General Motors diet plan (3). Yes – the same general motors as the car manufacturer. I know, it’s weird, lets’ move on. This GM diet plan works for all age groups, and people have lost up to 17 pounds in a single week by following it. If you want to follow it, you have to be prepared. This is a strict diet plan – and it requires a lot of discipline on your part. If you want it to work, and you want to lose up to 17 pounds in a week, you’re going to have to have your mind right before you start.
how to lose 17 pounds in 7 days
How do you get your mind right? Well, first, you have to accept one very important point – the fastest way to lose weight is by NOT being hungry.
If you’re hungry, your craving for junk food will go through the roof. That’s going to undermine any diet or weight loss plan.
Therefore, you have to make sure to pick a plan that DOESN’T require that you go hungry – and the GM plan is it.
It’s a 7 day plan that will require discipline – but also help you hit your weight loss goals. Let’s start:
GM Diet Day 1
OK – this is the gateway to your diet, the door you step through – and therefore it’s the most important day. Treat it accordingly.
The first day of the GM diet is an all fruit day. That’s right, you heard me correctly – all fruit all the time.
You can eat all the fruit that you want and eat it whenever you want. Fill up on fruit, and then some.
There are literally no restrictions – except one. Do NOT eat bananas on the first day of the GM diet. Stick to fruits like watermelon and cantaloupe.
At the same time, you want to drink at least 8 glasses of water. Try to go for 12 to get the full effect.
Remember, on day one, you’re eating nothing but fruit. That means no grains, no meat, no dairy, and no vegetables. If you get hungry, eat more fruit and drink more water.
GM Diet Day 2
Day one was all about fruits. Day 2 is all about vegetables.
You’re going to want to eat vegetables and ONLY vegetables on day two. It doesn’t matter whether they’re raw or cooked – it only matters that you’re only eating vegetables.
However, one very important thing to remember is that these vegetables can NOT be cooked in oil. If you’re going to cook them, you should boil or steam them instead.
Also remember to keep up your water consumption. You’re looking for at least 8-12 glasses on day 2.
GM Diet Day 3
On day 3, you’re going to be combining the rules of day 1 and day 2 – and eating only fruits and vegetables for the entire day. No potatoes and no bananas – strictly the fruits and veggies you had access to on day 1 and day 2.Either eat all fruit in the morning, veggies in the afternoon, and fruit in the evening – or go veggies in the morning, fruit in the afternoon, and veggies in the evening – whatever you prefer.
Keep up drinking water! 8-12 glasses, minimum.
GM Diet Day 4
This is the first day that you’re going to switch things up.
On day 4, all you should eat is bananas. That’s it – just bananas. Eat a minimum of 8-10 bananas over the course of the day.
Also extremely important on day 4 is to drink 3 glasses of milk, and water whenever you’re thirsty. Space out the milk over the course of the day.
Whenever you’re hungry – eat a banana. If you eat all 8 to 10 bananas over the course of the day, you won’t feel hungry – just space them out.
GM Diet Day 5
Switching things up again, day 5 is all about tomatoes and rice. Eat a cup of rice for lunch, and eat at least 6 to 7 tomatoes over the course of the day.
Remember – this will produce a lot of uric acid in your body. Therefore, you should up your water consumption.
Aim for at least 12 to 15 glasses of water on day 5 and you’ll be golden.
GM Diet Day 6
On day 6, you’ll be eating a cup of rice for lunch again – and combining that with vegetables all day. Stick to an all vegetable diet on day 6.
This is actually the most crucial day of the entire diet for water, so you ABSOLUTELY must make sure to drink at least 8-12 glasses of water on day 6. If you can do that, you’re almost done!
GM Diet Day 7
This is it, the last day! You made it!
On the last day of the GM diet, you can eat a cup of rice for lunch. Other than that, you want to stick with an all vegetable diet for the rest of the day.
To drink, you can drink all the fruit juice that you want. This will flush your digestive system fully and leave your body in the optimum state.
If you can follow this diet to the letter – you will see a CONSIDERABLE amount of weight loss in just a week. People have reported up to 17 pounds of weight loss – how much did you lose?
