    Trying to find out about this GM diet ...that is FDA approved... Is it healthy and is the weight loss permanent?

    http://www.iimahd.ernet.in/~jajoo/gmdiet.html

    this is the link tell me what you think?:happy:

    What do you think? The site has no ties to a medical, educational or national organization. Merely saying something is FDA approved is hardly reassuring. Quite frankly If it sounds ridiculous it probably is. Additionally, in my opinion, there is no realistic way any weight loss that you might incur would be sustainable! Long term weight loss comes from meticulous effort, hard work and a long term commitment to a healthy lifestyle. Good luck meeting your goals!:happy:

    Big hoax, of Indian origin.

    Googled this. Some sites say it was developed at Johns Hopkins in the 80's some say GM knows nothing. Just another fad diet that may show quick results but probably would gain it all back fairly quickly.

    How did you get your hands on this, this was never intended for the public. This was an experimental diet that the FDA used on G.M. employees back in the 80's. they saw the obesity epidemic coming and this was their answer. It obviously it failed so it was never let out to the public.

    Been there done that.....it's another fad. Cabbage Soup diet with a few tweaks is all that is.

    I imagine it would work. You'll probably be miserable, lose lots of weight (mostly water), and gain at least half of it back by day 13.

    It's been mentioned before and waste of time. The results would be temporarily.

    LOL you all are great and full of Info....I was just basically trying to see if it was a good idea to try it and just test it out to see if I could get any results... I been at a plateau for about 5-7 weeks at 215-220 and basically I am testing this to see if it can clean up my eating a little bit better! I'm not looking for dramatic weight loss from this ...maybe just 5-7 pounds and a cleaner stomach lol

    Following a diet named after a bankrupt auto manufacturer that was bailed out by the American people is never a good idea.

    Simple math lesson. My TDEE is 2700 calories per day. That's 18900 calories a week. In order to lose 10 pounds in a week I'd need a deficit of roughly 35000 calories. Even if I ate nothing at all for an entire week, I'd still only barely make it halfway to that deficit. Does that sound realistic or believable?

    It sounds like The Cabbage soup Diet. My aunt lost a lot of weight on that a few years ago but gained the weight back quickly when she stopped it. The weight loss did not last. hopefully with good eating it will stay off for you.
