GM Diet - To Look Thin or Turning Up Old ?

GM DIET
Day One All fruits except bananas. Your first day will consist of all the fruits you want. It is strongly suggested that you consume lots of melons the first day. Especially watermelon and a loupe. If you limit your fruit consumption to melons, your chances of losing three lbs. on first day are very good.
Day Two All vegetables. You are encouraged to eat until you are stuffed with all the raw or cooked vegetables of your choice. There is no limit on the amount or type. For your complex carbohydrate, you will start day two with a large baked potato for breakfast. You may top the potato with one pat of butter.
Day Three A mixture of fruits and vegetables of your choice. Any amount, any quantity. No bananas yet. No potatoes today.
Day Four Bananas and milk. Today you will eat as many as eight bananas and drink three glasses of milk. This will be combined with the special soup which may be eaten in limited quantities.
Day Five Today is feast day. You will eat beef and tomatoes. Eat two 10 oz. portions of lean beef. Hamburger is OK. Combine this with six whole tomatoes. On day five you must increase your water intake by one quart. This is to cleanse your system of the uric acid you will be producing.
Day Six Beef and vegetables. Today you may eat an unlimited amount of beef and vegetables. Eat to your hearts content.
Day Seven Today your food intake will consist of brown rice, fruit juices and all the vegetables you care to consume.
You must drink 10 glasses of water each day

BENEFITS CLAIMED BY GM DIET
Fruits are nature’s perfect food. They provide everything to sustain life. Vegetables and tomatoes are calorie free and provide essential vitamins and fibre. Beef is a good source of iron and protein. The effectiveness of this seven day plan is that the food eaten burn more calories than they give to the body in caloric value.

SCIENTIFIC ANALYSIS
Fruits and vegetables are great source of fibre, vitamins and minerals but lack protein, complex carbohydrates and good quality fats. Beef and other meats such as chicken are good sources of first class protein but lack in complex carbohydrates, fibre and good quality fats.
But all essential nutrients are not allowed together even for a day! The exclusion of two or more food groups each day’s diet makes it highly nutrient deficient. This leads to loss of body fluids and lean tissues, which shows as a drastic weight loss and weakness in body.
Cutting out essential nutrients and creating an imbalance does not ‘cleanse and purify’ the body. Detoxification is an essential process that is a daily part of any nutritious balanced program including optimum hydration and balance of all vitamins and minerals.

NEGATIVE EFFECTS
Weakness: The breakdown and loss lean tissues lead to a state of illness with a great drop in fitness level and physical capacity.
Out of shape' body: The diet gives weight loss but without much loss of inches. This worsens the body composition, and the body loses its firmness and shape. Sagging, lose skin and an untoned body is a common end result.
Rebound Effect: Loss of active lean tissues slows down the basal metabolic rate (BMR) and leads to lower calorie burning during all activities. This leads to faster regain of body fat even with a restricted calorie diet. The person goes back to the same or higher weight with higher body fat and greater risk of health problems.
Accelerated Aging: Age related problems result from it. The accelerated breakdown does nothing but speed up the degeneration process and the body grows older than it actually is.
Think about it-would you want to be 5 kg lighter in a week, if at a end of it your body looks five years older.
