Starting the year right with the General Motors diet

This year, I have all the intention to truly truly go on a real diet and for a start I have chosen the General Motors Diet that my sister sent me thru email about six months ago but have not found the opportunity to follow. Why the GM diet? Well, it’s the one I have on hand and would not really require much effort and research so GO! GO! GO! Besides, it seemed quite simple to do and does not require much cooking (just the soup) But why not the South beach diet which I had used to lose the unwanted pounds after my last CS pregnancy in 2002? Well, I have tried my best to replicate what I had done the last time I followed the SB diet in 2002-2003 but it seems no matter how hard I try, I just can’t lose weight using that anymore (even if I have shunned carbs altogether!) It seems the SB diet has reached a plateau for me and so it is not as effective as it once was. Maybe…just maybe the GM diet would work…I am keeping my fingers crossed! Here’s a list of things that may be eaten on the GM diet…
