A 7-Day General Motors Diet...
Day 1: Fruits and Water
I decided to embark on this weird diet plan after witnessing the success of others at work. I must admit that today was really quite agonizing cos Singapore is definitely a dieter's WORST NIGHTMARE!!! Scrumptious food at every corner and even if you don't see it, the aroma is tempting enough. I totally agree with Garfield.. diet is indeed a DIE with a T.. certainly a test of will-power or rather.. won't-power and using the mind over matter (in this case.. mind over body)! Imagine having roast beef while munching on watermelon.. maybe that honeydew resembles lemon chicken.. is that guava or tiger prawn??!! But NO tomatoes or bananas on the 1st day.. although they are both fruits.. and don't forget to drink at least 8 glasses of water for these 7 days...
Day 2: 1 Measly Potato, Vegetables and Water
Arrrgghhh!!! Felt a bit sick after a BIG 'breakfast'.. of boiled potato, spinach, lettuce, cabbage and cauliflower. Think my body was protesting vehemently against the sudden onslaught of barely familiar food.. and most certainly NEVER at breakfast??! Plus the fact I was a liittle over enthusiastic in adding salt and pepper.. hoping in vain to spice up the food. I toyed with the idea of chili or crushed peppers (from Pizza Hut) but I reckoned it probably won't sit too well in my already tormented stomach. I definitely preferred yester-month's menu.. bring on the Sausage McMuffin.. nasi lemak.. wan ton mee.. chee cheong fun.. laksa with egg and all.. ha ha ha! No surprises why I won't be watching Gournet Food Channels for the rest of the week...
Day 3: Fruits, Vegetables and Water
More rabbit food (as mum aptly describes it).. but surprisingly it wasn't half as bad today! Perhaps my body is accepting the detox process.. at least I hope so? I had turnip, chai sim, watermelon and honeydew.. quite yummy actually since they are my favourite food. So 3 down and 4 more days to go.. jia you!!!
Day 4: 8 Bananas and 3 Glasses of Milk (and Vegetable Soup)
This is the strangest part of the diet.. I was tempted to make my own banana smoothie but it's too much trouble for just 1 glass? Apparently the desire for sweets and sugar should be somewhat curbed after today. Great to be able to resist those macadamia chocolates.. I suppose?!!
Day 5: Rice and 6 Tomatoes
I decided to stick with the vegetarian version of this diet.. the non-vegetarian includes small portions of lean meat or cottage cheese with the 6 tomatoes. But what is a small portion? I may just end up over-zealously digging into the chicken or beef after 4 days on rodent food! You're advised to drink an extra 4 glasses of water to flush out the accumulated uric acid. Hmmm.. my stomach felt quite empty at night.. but maybe we're meant to sleep early while on this diet??!!
Day 6: Rice and Vegetables
It's back to vegetables again.. however, the non-vegetarian version allows you to eat meat to your heart's content! Maybe I will do that next time (if I EVER get around to it).. then, I can compare and see which plan suits me better.. ha ha ha! But I have to admit I did cheat a little today.. had a tiny morsel of chocolate cream cake (which was absolutely delicious) and 5 small sticks of french fries (almost heavenly)...
Day 7: Rice, Vegetables and Fruit Juice
So I made it! I am so looking forward to going back to the 'normal' diet again tomorrow.. but I will try to stay with the healthful food as much as possible so that all the effort of losing these 4 kgs won't go to waste! Fish soup and Yong Tau Foo.. here I come!!! Ha ha ha...
