GM diet is a popular weight loss diet plan that claims to aid in quick weight loss. This fad became popular after employees of General Motors tried this diet and lost a lot of weight in just a week. However, new studies suggest that losing weight quickly is not safe. Moreover, there is no scientific study supporting the GM diet. So, before you decide to be on this diet, take a closer look. Read on to know everything about the GM diet, what to eat for 7 days, how it may aid weight loss, and if it is safe. Swipe up!

What Is The GM Diet?

The GM diet is a 7-Day diet plan for quick weight loss.

It was created in 1985 by General Motors to help its employees lose weight.  The employees consumed low-calorie food groups on different days. By the end of the first week, the employees lost up to 17 lbs (7.7 kgs).

The employees consumed low-calorie food groups on different days. This is believed to have triggered the weight loss.

This made the GM diet a popular short-cut to losing weight. Does it really work? Find out next.

Does The GM Diet Really Work? What Eleana Kaidanian, RD, Says

Eleana Kaidanian, RD, CDN, CPT-WFS, says, “This is an extreme diet that, as a healthcare provider and registered dietitian, I would never recommend. It seems to be based on completely arbitrary restrictions beyond being significantly low-calorie with the goal of weight loss at any cost. The diet is also devoid of any protein for the first 4 days.”

She adds, “This diet is not sustainable and usually with an extremely restrictive diet you will see weight loss, but the weight will come back as no new habits or lasting dietary change was made. The one positive from the GM diet is that it encourages adequate hydration and is sourced appropriately from water.”

Going on a very low-calorie diet might work for weight loss. But these diets are not safe and are tough to follow. The proponents of the GM diet believe that it works based on the following factors:

  • It Is Low In Calories: Weight loss is calculated by the number of calories you consume and the number of calories you burn. When you consume fewer calories, your body shifts to a negative energy balance. This makes you lose weight.
  • It Boosts Metabolism: The foods included in this diet plan are believed to boost your metabolism and thus, help in fat burning. However, there is no study that backs this claim.
  • It Includes Negative Calorie Foods: Negative calorie foods burn calories during their digestion and processing. This means you lose weight by burning calories even when you eat. It sounds good, but dietitians and nutritionists do not believe in the term “negative calorie foods”.
  • It Is A Good Detox: Consuming healthy food and staying hydrated may help flush out toxins.
  • May Improve Digestion: The fruits and vegetables in the GM diet contain dietary fiber, which helps improve bowel movement and digestion. However, it is not established if the GM diet follows the recommended 25 g dietary fiber/day based on a 2000-calorie diet (1) or not.

According to research, the proportion of adults in the United States following any kind of special diet has increased from 14.3% in 2007-2008 to 17.4% in 2017-2018. This shows that more people are turning to different dietary strategies to help them lose weight. Additionally, the proportion of adults following a low-calorie or weight-loss diet climbed from 7.5% in 2007-2008 to 10.0% in 2017-2018.

The GM diet was created to aid quick weight loss in employees of General Motors. Here’s what they were allowed to eat for a week:

GM Diet Benefits

The benefits of the GM diet are not backed by evidence, but certain scientific facts pertaining to the foods included in this diet hold true:

  • Detoxification – Fruits and vegetables are loaded with antioxidants that help flush out toxins (2).
  • Improves Health – Veggies and fruits boost immunity and improve cell functions (3), (4).
  • Prevents Weight Gain – Cutting back on sugar and sugary foods help prevent weight gain (5), (6).
  • May Help You Achieve Glowing Skin
    The GM diet incorporates a variety of fruits and vegetables into your daily meals. This makes it a delightful and nutritious way to nurture your skin’s radiance.
    Fruits rich in vitamin C, such as orange, aid in collagen production, promote skin elasticity, and reduce wrinkles (7). Leafy greens such as spinach and kale supply nutrients and antioxidants that guard against oxidative damage (8). Further, the beta-carotene found in carrots, tomatoes, and sweet potatoes enhances the skin’s natural sun protection (9).
    These are some of the foods in this diet that are packed with essential nutrients and contribute to a clearer, more vibrant complexion.

The phenolici  XIt refers to natural bioactive substances found primarily in plant tissues that include simple phenols, phenolic acids, and flavonoids. compounds in fruits and veggies do more than provide basic nutrition. They reduce the risk of chronic diseases (3).

However, there are possible side effects or risks associated with the GM diet.

GM Diet Risks And Side Effects

  • There Is No Scientific Backing – The GM diet is not backed by any scientific study.
  • Dehydration – The GM diet accounts for very low fluid intake, which may cause dehydration and lead to symptoms like headache, dizziness, and fatigue.
  • No Long-Term Weight Loss – The GM diet is a fad diet and is not recommended for long-term weight loss goals. Also, there is a possibility of regaining the lost weight once you stop this restrictive diet.
  • Lacks Nutrients – Limited access to foods makes the GM diet lacking in nutrients like vitamin B12, calcium, and iron. This can lead to nutrient deficiencies and symptoms like fatigue and brittle nails.
  • Muscle Loss – Low-calorie diets, more often than not, cause muscle loss. This can ultimately cause slow metabolism, which can make it difficult to maintain weight loss in the future (10), (11). The muscle tissues are deprived of an adequate amount of proteins, which may also lead to physical weakness.
  • Electrolyte Imbalance – The large intake of fruits and vegetables in this diet may result in a diuretic effect. This, in turn, leads to an increase in urination.
  • Mood Swings – The GM diet restrictions may cause mood swings and irritability.
  • Tiredness And Fatigue – A sudden dip in calorie intake might make you feel tired and weak.

Kavita Deo, a blogger, recounted her experience of trying the GM diet for one week in her blog. She said, “I lost 500 grams of fat and only 800 grams of weight. This result was nowhere near my previous attempts, where I had lost 2 to 3 kilos in weight and around 1 kilo of fat. This wasn’t bad, but not good either (i).”

protip_icon Quick Tip
Calorie restriction in the GM diet can lead to bone loss and increases the risk of fractures (10).

Now that you know both sides of the coin, should you really try the GM Diet to lose weight?

Should You Go On The GM Diet To Lose Weight?

Losing weight is tough. It takes time, patience, determination, and healthy eating. Quick weight loss or a shortcut like the GM diet may fix a temporary problem, but it is not suitable for long-term weight loss. You must follow a healthy lifestyle, exercise, get 7-8 hours of sleep, and meditate to keep the excess flab away in the long run. Pursuing a meal plan that is not backed by science, doctors, nutritionists, and dietitians is not worth risking your health and well-being.

The GM diet plan is a week-long low-calorie diet strategy, which is found to be effective in losing weight rapidly and improving fitness levels. This 7-day meal plan restricts calories and certain food groups. However, it is considered a fad diet and is not backed by dieticians and researchers, given the lack of scientific evidence. The vegetarian diet mostly comprises fruits and vegetables, while certain non-vegetarian foods are allowed only on the fifth and sixth day of the diet. So, people may miss out on certain nutrients essential for the body, lose muscle mass, and become weak and tired. Hence, it is not ideal for long-term weight loss. So, it is advised to consult a doctor/dietitian to get a well-designed, customized, balanced diet plan for shedding the flab in a healthy way.
