During the GM diet, we are suggested to have the GM wonder soup. This is so good , simple and tasty. This wonder soup can be had from Day 4 of the diet.
Ingredients:
Onion : 1 red large
Tomato : 2 large
Cabbage : 3 to 4 leaves chopped finely
Celery sticks : 3 to 4 chopped to small pieces
Green Bell Pepper : 1 chopped
Olive oil : 1/2 teaspoon
Salt : 1 teaspoon
Pepper Powder : 1 teaspoon
Water : 2 3/4 cups to 3 cups
Method:
- Heat oil in a pressure cooker. Add onions and Bell peppers. Saute for 3 to 4 mins.
- Add the other vegetables. Saute for 2 mins.
- Mix water, if needed add salt and pepper now, else it can be added later.
- Pressure cook it for 3 whistles.
Soup is ready 🙂 It tastes really good. I loved it.
Glimpse of GM diet:
Day 1 : Only fruits, exception of Banana and avocado. Lots of water. No vegetables and milk. Unlimited fruits allowed.Drink only black tea or black coffee without sugar. No fruit juice allowed.
Day 2 : Only Vegetables. Can be taken either raw or steamed. Have one potato in the morning either baked or boiled. No fruits or milk. Unlimited vegetables allowed. Drink only black tea or black coffee without sugar. No fruit juice allowed. Avoid oil. Salt is allowed.
Day 3: Mix of day 1 and day 2. Potato, Banana, Avocado, Milk is restricted. This is as well unlimited. Drink only black tea or black coffee without sugar. No fruit juice allowed. Avoid oil.
Day 4 : up to 6 Banana and skim milk. If full fat milk restrict it to 750ml. No other fruits and vegetables. In between the wonder soup can be had. Drink only black tea or black coffee without sugar. No fruit juice allowed.
Day 5: Lean meats allowed. Since I am a eggitarian I had 1 egg in the morning, and 1 egg in the afternoon. For dinner I had Tofu. You can replace this with Cottage cheese /Paneer. You need to have 6 tomatoes compulsorily. Drink only black tea or black coffee without sugar. No milk or fruits. GM wonder soup can be had. No fruit juice allowed. Avoid oil.
Day 6 : Same as Day 5, but no tomatoes.
Day 7: We can have up to 2 cups of rice. I cooked only 1 1/2 cup which I was unable to finish, you tummy shrinks well by this time. Can have wonder soup, black tea. Any fruits allowed as usual except banana and avocado. Avoid Oil as much as possible. Lots of vegetable recommended. Today we can have fruit juice.
Remember through out to keep yourself hydrated, drink lots of water. Everyday atleast 10 to 12 glasses of water. Workout on alternative days is better. I have some foot problem so I restrained myself to only walking and walked for atleast 1.5 miles everyday from 4th day. First 3 days workout was impossible for me 😛
I am gonna have the dinner for Day 7. It really feels awesome after this diet. I am feeling very energetic and gives a lot of happiness. I am sure to have lost pounds , not sure how much I have check it tomorrow. Will get you guys my picture before and after soon. One thing I realized is not to worry about weight loss, but this have given me more energy and I feel very light. Yes in between I had the thoughts of giving up, but by god’s grace I could make it. Thanks a lot to all my friends who gave me support from day 1.
If anyone would want to go for a detox this is a great way of doing it.

Great post! Last year I followed this diet and lost 3 Kgs. It is a good way of getting your body light and energetic. Wonder soup is a delicious recipe, can be had even if you are not dieting. I prepare it once in month and enjoy the taste.

Thanks a lot anna, you know me. If I decide I will never give up fortunately or unfortunately 🙂 Yes anna this is a great detox. One thing important with this diet is do this diet for 7 days and leave a gap of 7 days to start again. So I am on gap 🙂 Thanks for your wonderful wish anna 🙂

Are banana and avocado not fruits? I thought they were! I get confused sometimes, you know. Also, this seems very precise, requiring black tea (no green tea allowed?) and doing only fruits one day, then only veggies the next; what is the rationale for that? It seems like you would need at least a couple days of eating a particular thing for that to work all the way through the GI tract. Again, I am easily confused and certainly not an expert, so just wondering about the rationale. Thanks for such a conscientious and detailed approach! Best,

Totally agree with you, Banana and Avocado are very much fruits which are not allowed, I still don’t know why is that so. Yes we can have green tea or herbal tea as well. Few of my Indian Friends are very particular about having coffee or tea only with milk, so this came to my mind to include. Thanks for pointing out, I will update that Green tea and herbal tea is fine 🙂 I know its quite rationale, but that is how the diet works and Yes there are lots of argument going on that this isn’t the correct way of following proper diet!!
