• 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.

GM Diet, GM Diet Day 6, Healthy Salad, Kosambari, Moong Dal Salad, pasiparuppu recipe, Split Mung Bean Salad

Kosambari is a very traditional salad made in Karnataka. In my office they used to serve it during the Ugadi festival. The first time when, I saw this it was made out of the split mung bean. A salad with split mung bean, I did not like it much and was scared to touch it 😛 Later when I attended a wedding , it was a proper Karnataka wedding, they served this kosambari. Again I avoided it. I had a friend who is half Tamil and half Kannada, he was sitting next to me while having food in the wedding. He said why don’t you try , this is excellent. I said No, how can you make salad in this. He said try maadu( give it a try), if you don’t like it, leave it. He forced me to eat it, then it became my favorite 🙂 It was excellent in taste and one best salad.

For my GM diet, I need to have some protein on Day 6. So Indian version(Vegetarian) of GM diet suggested to have kosambari which is a high source of protein. I can happily have it 🙂

Ingredients:

Moong dal /Split Mung Bean : 3 table spoon

Coconut (unsweetened) : 1 1/2 teaspoon

Carrot grated : 1 1/2 teaspoon

Cucumber grated : 2 teaspoon

Salt : 1/2 teaspoon

Pepper powder : 1/2 teaspoon or Green chili : 1 small

Lime juice : 1/2 teaspoon

Cilantro leave : Few Chopped

Method:

Wash Moong dal and soak in water for 1/2 hr to 45 mins. After 45 mins drain water and set aside.

Grate carrot and cucumber.

Add the cucumber to Moong dal. The cucumber water content will soak the moong dal better, leave it for an hour.

Next add carrot, grated coconut, salt, lime juice, either pepper powder or green chili, cilantro leaves and mix well and serve.

Healthy Kosambari is ready 🙂 This serves 1 person.

The traditional recipe has green chili, I did not want to add during diet, so changed it to pepper powder 🙂

And to my GM Diet day 5 completed and day 6 going on 🙂 Day 5 was a little difficult in the evening. I thought of giving up, but finally could make it 🙂 As of now day  6 is as well going well. Tomorrow is going to be a feast day 🙂 the last day and its fully rice and vegetables 🙂 I am glad I am gonna finish it 🙂 Thank you friends for your wishes

Day 3 of GM diet went well. I could feel lighter. This is a day of both vegetables and fruits. In vegetables no potato. In fruits no banana and no avocado. No Milk as well this day. I could eat the mix of both day 1 and 2, felt much better.

Today is Day 4 with just banana and milk. I am just so happy 🙂 Yeah I already had 2 banana’s and 2 glasses of milk. Also there is this GM wonder soup which can be had in between. Recipe to follow soon. Day 4 we can have up to 6 banana’s and 750ml of milk preferably skim milk. Trust me its very heavy with banana after the 3 days of diet. I could already feel that my tummy has gone down a bit 😛

Thank you friends for all your wishes, I have come long way in diet for sure 🙂

GM Diet Day 2

GM Diet, GM Diet Day 2

This was not at all a bad day as I expected it to be. I could feel more energetic than day 1.

Second day:

Only Vegetables, no fruits, milk. One potato boiled or baked is allowed in the morning. As much less oil as possible.

I had one boiled potato in morning with pepper and salt. Then had carrots, corn for afternoon. In between I could manage with black tea. Evening I prepared some salad with half a teaspoon oil( recipe to be followed) and black tea. One thing that I could find about myself was I crave for salt more than sugar. I just found it myself. Though I know I am sweet tooth and eat lots of sugar. I felt this day with just pinch of salt I was satisfied. Weird for me 🙂

Starting today with Day 3 which is a mix of day 1 and day 2. This should be an ease as far as I think 🙂
