There are many lazy weight loss methods circulating on the Internet, emphasizing that you can lose weight quickly without exercising. Recently, some internet celebrities have even tried the "GM Diet for Weight Loss". This method of weight loss is characterized by drinking 8-12 glasses of water a day, eating a lot of fruits and vegetables, drinking 2 to 3 bowls of vegetable soup a day, and only eating a small amount of meat for 2 days. Supporters said that they believe that they can lose 4 to 8 kilograms in just 7 days a week, and even burn fat faster than other diets. Is it really that magical? Let’s hear what domestic weight loss experts have to say.

The GM diet claims to help you lose at least 4 to 8 kg in a week

The GM Diet weight loss method, which is popular in Europe and the United States, claims to help you lose weight without exercise. Through a 7-day diet with specially matched food combinations, you can consume a large amount of low-calorie fruits and vegetables within a week, which can be cooked into vegetable soup, and a small amount of chicken or fish, combined with a large amount of water. You must not drink any alcohol. It is said that the benefits are that it can get rid of toxins and impurities in the body, improve digestion, and even more importantly, achieve the effect of weight loss. You can lose at least 4 to 8 kilograms in a week.

The GM Diet weight loss diet that is circulating on the Internet is also known as the "General Motor Diet". It is a diet plan developed by General Motors with the assistance of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. It is designed to increase employee productivity and improve health.

GM Diet is an extremely low-calorie diet, with a daily calorie intake of only 600 to 700 calories.

Liu Bowen, executive director of the Taiwan Obesity Education and Prevention Association and a weight loss specialist, said that the principle of this type of weight loss is the so-called extremely low-calorie weight loss method. The characteristics of this weight loss method are that different fruit and vegetable foods are given every day of a week, and different colors are used for combination, which will give people a fresh feeling visually. Of course, judging from its content, the daily calorie intake may be only 600 or 700 calories, while the normal male's basal metabolic rate requires about 1,300 calories a day, plus the physiological activity volume requires about 2,300 calories, so about 1,000 calories can be reduced a day. Every 1 kg of fat can produce about 7700 calories, so it seems more reasonable to lose about 1 kg of weight in a week.

The GMdiet weight loss method emphasizes drinking 2 to 3 bowls of vegetable soup every day. Its function is to achieve the purpose of satiety through the principle of low calorie density. However, because the average Western diet contains more meat than the Oriental diet, short-term vegan soups will not cause a deficiency of essential amino acids. Relatively speaking, the average Oriental diet does not contain as much meat as the Western diet. Therefore, it is not recommended to consume vegetable soup as a normal weight loss diet.

"Breaking Blind Spot 1": You need to consume a lot of fruits and vegetables every day, and lose up to 1 kg of weight in a week

Dr. Liu Boen believes that in addition to the maximum weight loss of 1 kg per week, the GM Diet method also requires the intake of large amounts of fruits and vegetables every day. What might happen? In fact, many obese people suffer from constipation. Therefore, by supplementing with large amounts of fruits and vegetables every day, they can improve the body's environmental problems. Moreover, the large amount of dietary fiber contained in fruits and vegetables can also promote gastrointestinal motility and have a positive effect on improving the function of the digestive tract. Of course, fruits and vegetables are also rich in a variety of minerals, which are also necessary for fat metabolism. Therefore, they have a positive effect on increasing the metabolic rate.

"Breaking Blind Spot 2": Drink 8-12 glasses of water every day. Excessive drinking may lead to water poisoning risk

Also, will drinking 8-12 glasses of water every day for 7 days have any additional effect on weight loss? Is there a problem with excessive water intake? Dr. Liu Bowen said that the average normal person needs about 2500 to 3000 CC of water per day. In addition to helping eliminate toxins from the body, water can also reduce blood viscosity, making it an indispensable element in the process of weight loss. Of course, some people drink a lot of water to increase their sense of fullness, but that is not the right way. Moreover, if too much water is taken into the body in a short period of time, there is also a risk of water intoxication.

"Breaking Blind Spot 3": Eating a little meat on the 5th or 6th day can increase the risk of sarcopenia

The GM Diet weight loss method allows you to eat a little meat only on the 5th and 6th day, about 500 grams of fish or chicken. However, will this cause a problem of insufficient protein? Dr. Liu Bowen said that after all, the most important thing to lose weight is to remove excess fat, but if there is a long-term lack of sufficient protein and lack of proper exercise, there is a high risk of sarcopenia.

Dr. Liu Bowen said that the GM Diet weight loss method is an extremely low-calorie weight loss method using vegetable soup. It is just a "folk remedy" that has not been confirmed by scientific big data, nor has it been certified by the US FDA. A reminder to those who want to lose weight: if you are severely obese, it is a disease. Since it is a disease, you need to make a correct diagnosis first to find the correct, safe, effective and suitable weight loss model for yourself.

"Breaking Blind Spot 4": GM Diet is an extremely low-calorie diet, be careful of internal organ diseases

Finally, a reminder: when adopting this kind of extremely low-calorie diet plan, be sure to do it under the diagnosis of professional medical personnel. Because if the human body is in a state of calorie deficiency for a long time, the body will start to break down fat and protein as a source of energy fat. In the long run, there will be a risk of ketoacidosis, and it will cause the metabolic rate to decrease, which will cause endocrine problems and even lead to lesions in internal organs. Therefore, when using this very low-calorie diet to lose weight, you still need to consume enough protein and appropriate fat foods, which is the correct and healthy way to lose weight.
