GM Diet – Day 7

Thank god! The end is here. All of the flu-like symptoms have passed. The hunger pain has subsided. All I could eat today is brown rice, veggies, and fruit juices. The food is still bland but at least I was able to eat a complex carbohydrate! I’ll tell you one thing, after putting myself through this hell I am not going to go out and put it back on! Starting tomorrow it is portion control and plenty of exercise (at least as much as my battered back will allow).

I cant’ say I’d recommend this diet for the faint at heart. You must be seriously desperate to go through this hell. I didn’t loose any weight today, but my total for the week is 11.5 pounds. I feel better and look better, but was it worth it? I’m not sure. I wish I would’ve known that I wouldn’t loose any pounds these last two days. I would’ve stopped at day five, had I known.

I plan on continuing my quest to lose the inches, but I am going back on Weight Watchers so I can eat real food. I now have a buddy at work that will do Weight Watchers with me so it should be easier. You do not lose as much as quickly as the GM Diet, but it is much easier to stick to the plan.  Weight Watchers will also allow me to bank points so I can insert glasses of wine back into my life.

If it weren’t for the blog I probably wouldn’t have made it through the week. Thanks for helping.
