WEIGHT LOSS DIET for 7 days (Tested by corporates)

grant from the US Department of Agriculture and the
Food and Drug Administration. It was field tested at
the Johns Hopk Research Centre and was approved for

Motors Corporation at a general meeting on August 15,
1995.
This Program is designed for a Target weight loss of
5-6 Kgs per week. It will also improve your attitude
and emotions because of its systematic cleansing
effects. The effectiveness of the seven day plan is
that the foods eaten burn more calories than they give
to the body in caloric value. This plan can be used as

thank you for all the purging and cleansing you just
gave it. Even more than a diet program it is good to
follow this diet once in a while to clean your
digestive system and remove toxic substances that have
accumulated in the system.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:
The most important element of the program is the 10
tall glasses of water a day. You can also flavor the
water with some lemon to make the drink easier. While
on the program take only black coffee and never more
than one teaspoon of oil. Preferably do not use oil
because of the high caloric content. No fruit juices
before day seven.
Here is what happens to your body while you are on
this program and how and why it works:
Day One:
You are preparing your system for the upcoming
program. Your only source of nutrition is fresh
fruits. Fruits are nature’s perfect food. They provide
everything you can possibly want to sustain life
except total balance and variety.
Day Two:
Starts with a fix of complex carbohydrates in the form
of a boiled potato. This is taken in the form of a
boiled potato in the morning to provide energy and
balance. The rest of the day too consists of
vegetables, which are virtually calorie free and
provide essential nutrients and fiber.
Day Three:
Eliminates the potato because you get your
carbohydrates from fruits. Your system is now prepared
to start burning excess pounds. You will have
cravings, which should start to diminish by day four.
Day Four:
Bananas and milk. You are in for a surprise. You
probably will not be able to eat all the bananas
allowed. But they are there for the potassium you have
lost and sodium you must have missed the last three
days. You will notice a definite loss of desire for
sweets and will be surprised at how easy this day will
go.
Day Five:
Rice and tomatoes. The rice is for the carbohydrates
and the tomatoes are for the digestion and fiber. Lots
and lots of water purify your system. You should
notice colorless urine too. Do not feel you have to
eat one cup of rice, you may eat less. But you may eat
six tomatoes.
Day Six:
It is similar to five. Vitamins and fiber from the
vegetables and carbohydrates from the rice. By now
your system is in a total weight loss inclination.
There should be a noticeable difference in the way you
look today compared to day one.
Day Seven:
You may celebrate with champagne. You may also have
white wine instead of champagne but in all practical
programs, and in all surveys done to measure the
success of the program, General Motors employees have
preferred champagne to white wine.
More than one cup of coffee with milk is especially
forbidden. Milk and oil add empty calories to your
diet. Coffee lovers can console themselves with black
coffee. However, in the first week, it will help your
digestion and set your stomach. The key thing to
remember is that if you are hungry at any time, then
you are not following the diet correctly. Almost all
the people give up the diet when they are hungry. If
it is a vegetable day, eat as much vegetables that you
are never hungry. If it is a fruits day, eat so much
fruits that your are never hungry. You may be bored of
eating vegetables all day, but you should not be
hungry. You take any amount of wonder soup on any day.
WONDER SOUP
The following soup is intended as supplement to your
diet. It can be eaten any time of the day in virtually
unlimited quantities. You are encouraged to drink
large quantities of this soup.
23 oz water
6 oz large onions
2 oz green peppers
3 oz whole tomatoes
1 oz cabbage
1 0z bunch celery- add herbs and seasoning as desired
This program is highly recommended for women and men
for whom excess weight is especially dangerous. Excess
weight for women aggravates arthritis problems and
leads to rapid joint decay. Pain and deterioration can
be lessened by weight loss as weight loss removes the
stress on the knee joint. Excess weight is the most
crucial factor in keeping good health and excess
weight is responsible for the most problems including
coronary disease, heart problems, arthritis and cancer
among other serious life threatening diseases. Most
serious problems can be avoided by the single function
of maintaining an ideal weight. Daily mild exercise of
20 minutes is also essential. Do not tire yourself
out, but being regular in your exercise and
maintaining an ideal weight goes a long way in
ensuring a happy, healthy and long life.
