Starting my 7 days gm diet from today. Had a glass of lemon water n 2 oranges. Hope I can continue this diet for 7 days without distractions. Does someone have any tips to share.

Hi! I did a quick internet search and see the gm diet is supposed to help you lose up to 7 lbs in 7 days. Is there a particular reason you have chosen this particular diet? Not sure how safe this is.

looked at the general motors diet. it looks fine as a diet, but only long-term changes keep the weight off. unless it's minor weight loss.... then a weekly change could work.

only dangerous fasts are without water or if it's a lifestyle that is months not weeks.

my brother, who has always been slim, has done a lot of fasts and cleanses for other health reasons. he did a no water fast for 7 days although he did take long baths during that time to hydrate his skin.

he looked like he was going to die his face was so grey and taunt. that was the only dangerous fast that he has done. also I wanted to call the paramedics during that fast, but my parents told me not to do it. he never did it again either.
