GMDiet: Reached Day4

Am I losing weight??? Don't know but I sure am losing out on a lot of good stuff.... Day two was only vegetables.. here is what my diet plan said..
DAY TWO: All vegetables. You are encouraged to eat until you are stuffed with all the new and cooked vegetables of your choice. There is no limit on the account or type. Avoid oil and coconut while cooking vegetables. Have large boiled potato for breakfast.
Never realized mashed potatoes could taste so tasty. But that was all..felt like a bunny munching on carrots all day. Tried to make some semi-boiled vegetables, but ended up turning them into a soup!!
---------------------------------------------
DAY THREE
Any mixture of fruits and vegetables of your choice. Any amount, any quantity. No
bananas yet and no potatoes today.

I expected Day Three to be tough but it was plain torture. To tweak one of my fav quotes from 'The Alchemist' - "When you really want to diet, the whole universe conspires to bring good food infront of you."

One of my colleagues was leaving for India at the end of his contract and we had a small farewell in office. Here is a pic of me...serving a delicious cake to the rest of the people around me.. In effect half the office now know abt this great knight on the path of GM diet..


Evening, we had a corporate get-together. Couldn't miss out on the chance to network with the big wigs from head office (u r really desperate for such occasion when u are on the client side hoping to get a feeling of what is happening in HQ back in India). So there I was, watching people sipping their drink and feasting on a magnificent buffet of biryani, chicken tikka masal and hot gulab jamun with ice cream!!

Final effect.. there are a few more now who have adopted me as the Guinea pig.. Licking up a scoopful of ice-cream infront of me, one of them said "Do tell me the results, I sure want to do this...if it works"

More than losing weight, this is turning out as a challenge to my resolve to continue till Day 7. I don't think I care about the weight loss any more. I will be happy that if i can simply stick to this diet till the end.
