General Motors Diet?
Some guy in our office did the General MOtors diet and lost 13 pounds in one week!! Has anyone ever heard of this diet? He said you eat fruits and veggies and rice halfway through the week...sounds a little too good to be true!!!

Re: General Motors Diet?
Never heard of it before. I was actually looking here because I thought it was going to be a joke about cars! 
Here's a link I found:

DH is a General Motors employee, I'll bet he thought the diet was something completely different!

Re: General Motors Diet?
Digging around some more, since it sounded like a fad diet.... it is....
http://www.doctorndtv.com/FAQ/detailfaq.asp?id=9456
These are just highly publicised Western fad diet regimes gaining popularity in India.
But do these diets actually deliver the promised results? None of the prescribed plans actually offered proof of shedding the pounds and, more important, keeping them off. Besides the lack of concrete evidence to back actual weight loss, there is another point: After completing your diet, will you be able to successfully maintain weight loss? Or will you promptly pile on the kilos at lightning speed?
Most fad diets do not make any allowance for maintaining the weight that is lost. And, eventually, most dieters find the diet too monotonous to stick to for the long term. They then resort to bad dietary habits again. Instead of merely yielding short-term results, a correct and healthy diet programme should help you improve your habits, so you can maintain the weight lost.
