DAY 1
The first day of GM diet plan is meant for detoxification. So it is a ‘fruits day’, where you have to eat as many fruits as you want to, except bananas. Consume a variety of fruits like apples, oranges, kiwi, papayas etc. There is no restriction on types and quantity of fruits you have on day 1. It is advised to have more water-based fruits like melons. As far as the beverages are concerned, apart from lots of water, you can have fresh fruit juices, preferably orange juice and coconut water that keeps you full for longer. Make sure not to add salt or any other dressings over your fruit salad.
DAY 2
On the second day, fruits will get replaced by vegetables. You can consume all sorts of vegetables (boiled or raw) and these range from green leafy veggies, cabbage, peppers, onions, etc. All of this will boost the fibre intake of the body. It is advised to start your day with carbohydrate-rich baked potatoes with a dash of butter, olive oil or ghee. It will give you enough energy to kick start your day. But don’t consume potatoes after breakfast as they are high in starch. Continuous water intake should be observed to keep the body hydrated.
DAY 3
You are nearly halfway through the GM diet plan now. Day 3 will be a mix of day 1 and day 2. You are allowed to eat a combination of fruits and vegetables. There is no limit or restriction on the fruits and vegetables to be consumed except bananas and potatoes. Your body will get required carbs from fruits hence potatoes should be prohibited today. Vegetable juice like carrot and tomato juice can be taken in the evening to satiate the appetite for sweet snacks. From today onwards, your body is ready to burn the excess calories.

DAY 5
This will be beef/chicken and tomatoes day. For pure vegetarians, beef/chicken will get replaced by cheese, brown rice or legumes. On this day the body’s protein requirements are addressed.
You can have a maximum of 6 whole tomatoes. Tomatoes are a rich source of fibre which will help in digesting the food. Make sure to eat all of them. The only beverage allowed on day 5 is water and not juice. It is because the body has already been given doses of juice for the past three days. Increase the water intake by now as water will help in cleaning the uric acid from your body.
