"On the fifth day of the GM diet weight loss routine, followers of the diet are now allowed to eat beef matched with tomatoes. On this day the body’s protein requirements are addressed, but not to the extent that they will be followed up with fat. Beef is used in this case as it is rich source of protein and fiber, and it does not have to be consumed in large amounts just to fulfill the cravings of one’s appetite." (from gmdietworks.com)
we already discussed yesterday that there's no effing way i'm eating beef, so i subbed it out for brown rice.
here's how it went down:
breakfast: brown rice with tomato, salt, pepper, nutritional yeast
lunch: fart soup, brown rice with trader joe's pumpkin pie spice (you can literally? put it on anything)
afternoonsies: here's where i fell off the wagon and had some coco-vita water because all-vegetable days bum me out. i also enjoyed some more fart soup.
dinner: brown rice and cabbage and onions cooked in rice vinegar served with a touch of oyster sauce and some sriracha, neither of which are probably super allowed during this diet, but here's what i have to say about the gm diet after following it for 5 days and reading about it all up over the internet:
this shit is dumb.
i'm pretty much over it.
this morning when i weighed myself, i weighed 0.6 pounds more than i did yesterday. oh by the way, i managed to drink 64 ounces of water yesterday, which is a small victory i guess?
being that i have decided that this diet is really freaking stupid, i had initially decided to just give up. however, days 6 and 7 are actually not that retarded. you just eat fruit and vegetables and some brown rice. so why not finisher her up!
day 6 of the gm hoax diet
i decided that i didn't really want to eat brown rice again for breakfast. it was ok the one time, but not something i care to experience on the regular. so my new devil-may-care attitude and i made the executive decision to sub out brown rice for some nice oats.
with cinnamon. mmmm! cinnamon.
here's what i packed for lunch:
that would be some nice fart soup, brown rice (with trader joe's pumpkin pie spice, because again: EAT IT ON EVERYTHING), white christmas tea (by Stash) and ze water.
I STILL HAVE SO MUCH FART SOUP LEFT.
i don't know at what point it becomes hazardous to my health to continue eating that stuff. i made it on ... what? tuesday? wednesday? i think i'll just keep eating it til it starts smelling questionable (which, incidentally, is the same method i use for deciding when it's time to wash my pants).
this morning, i also had a whole lot of work to do and was in a big rush, so i decided to waste a bunch of time and make this pomegranate applesauce to take to work with me:
it was really easy thanks to my handy dandy Blend Tec. i just quartered up some apples and tossed em in the blender with some pomegranate arils, cinnamon, TRADER JOE'S PUMPKIN PIE SPICE (durrr) and a little water and lemon juice. pulsed it a couple times and voila. but then it was kind of boring so then i chopped up some more apples and stewed em in a little earth balance and cinnamon (adding water whenever it all evaporated) and smooshed em up a little and then added that to the other applesauce and then it was perfect. it's this pretty pink color, too, but that doesn't show up too well in the photo.
also, who else is FREEZING COLD? it's just the first week of november and i'm already going to bed at night wearing double fleece pj's and this hat:
I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE THINKING, and yes, Jeremy Hancock is one lucky man.
however, the frigidity of my house really helped me out this morning when i was hastily slicing apples and cut the shit out of my finger. it bled all over the place but my hands were so cold that i didn't feel a thing!
**editor's note: i didn't bleed INTO THE APPLESAUCE or ONTO THE APPLES so stop freaking out, you pansy.
