If you’ve successfully completed the Day 1, Day 2, Day 3 and Day 4 of General Motors diet program, then you’ll find the GM Diet Day 5 menu pretty interesting as it satisfies your taste buds.
On the 5th day of GM Diet, you’re only allowed to eat beef with tomatoes if non-vegetarian and brown rice with tomatoes if vegetarian.
The first four days will lack protein and you may feel some muscle weakness during that period.
How to Prepare for Day 5 GM Diet?
Try to have a large meal for dinner on day 4. Include 2 bananas and wonder soup to making it a complete meal.
This will keep your body prepared for day 5.
Most dieters experience lack of appetite on the fifth day and hence you’re advised to eat small servings of beef multiple times during the day.
It is because the large servings will make the appetite worse.
It is also suggested to combine beef with tomatoes and satisfy your taste buds.
GM Diet Day 5 Non-Vegetarian Meal Plan
| Time | Meal |
| 8.30 am (Breakfast) | Braised beef with wonder soup or grilled beef/chicken with wonder soup |
| 1 pm (Lunch) | Beef/chicken patty without bread and diced tomatoes |
| 6.30 pm (Dinner) | beef/chicken soup with tomatoes |
| Anytime (Snacks) | Just water |
You can substitute beef with either Chicken (500gms skinless) or Fish (500 gms) or Pork (500 gms) or Eggs (6). Read the GM diet for India guide for details on the food choices for Indians.
Breakfast: Start your day with braised beef or chicken breast and tomato soup. While the meat gives your proteins, iron and fiber, soup on the other end provides energy.
Lunch: You can have a homemade hamburger made with beef/chicken. It may be either baked or fried but remember not to add too much fat as it already contains fat. At this stage, your body will produce excess uric acid and so it is advised to have lots of water (3-4 glasses) so that the urine will be flushed out naturally.
Dinner: You can have another hamburger during the dinner. However, health experts suggest that you should have beef/chicken soup and tomatoes in order to energize your body. Another advantage of having a soup is that it supplements the loss of water during the day.
Snacks: On this day, you shouldn’t eat any snacks or have fruit juices. The only beverage you’ll be having on Day 5 GM diet is water. Drink at least 14 glasses of water today so that it will detoxify your system as well as get rid of those unwanted nutrients that were contributed by meat.
