GM Diet or General Motors Diet is one of the more popular diet plans\/fads today. As the name goes, General Motors proposed this 7 day meal plan to ensure that their employees lose excess weight and stay healthy.<\/p>\n

So what is a GM Diet?<\/h3>\n

The GM Diet started sometime in 1985 when General Motors together with USDA and FDA came up with an elaborate meal plan to help employees lose weight through dieting. General Motors believed that with proper diet, employees would be more productive when it comes to work. The GM Diet, once followed, allow a person to lose between 10-17 lbs in a week! And that’s without going through the notions of exercise. Specific food is to be eaten in each particular day. It’s also very easy to follow and doesn’t need expensive yet hard to find produce.<\/p>\n

Another important thing about this diet is the need to drink at least 8-10 glasses of water each day to remain hydrated.<\/p>\n
