The GM Diet

The following diet and health program was apparently developed for the employees and the dependants of General Motors Inc.
The program was developed in conjunction with the grant from the US Department of Agriculture and the Food and Drug Administration. It was first tried at the Johns Hopkins Research Centre and was approved for distribution by the Board of Directors of General Motors Corporation at a general meeting on August 15, 1995.
General Motors Corporation wholly endorsed this program and is making it available to all employees and families. This program will be available at all General Motors Food service facilities.
It is the management’s intention to facilitate a welfare and fitness program for everyone.

This program is designed for a target weight loss of 5-6 Kgs. per week. It will also improve your attitude and emotions because of its systematic cleansing effects. The effectiveness of this seven day plan is that the foods eaten burn more calories than they give to the body in caloric value. This plan can be used as often as you like to without any fear of complications. It is designed to flush your system of impurities and give you a feeling of well being. After seven days you will begin to feel lighter by atleast 10 pounds. You will have an abundance of energy and an improved disposition.
You must drink 10 glasses of water each day.
Day One
Eat all fruits, except bananas.  If you limit your consumption to water melon and cantaloupes, you coulf lose up to three pounds on the first day.  There are no restriction as to how much fruit to eat.  This puts your body on the start mode for the diet. 
Day Two
Consume all vegetables., raw or cooked.  For your complex carbohydrates, start the day with a large baked potato for breakfast to give energy and balance.  You may adda pat of butter on the potato.  Veggies are virtually calorie free and provide essential nutrients and fiber.
Day Three
Take in a mixture of fruits and vegetables of your choice.  Any amount, any quantity.  No bananas and no potatoes.  This prepares the body to burn excess pounds.
Day Four
Bananas and milk. Today you will eat as many as eight bananas and drink three glasses of milk. You can also have one bowl of vegetables soup*.  You will notice a loss of desire for sweets.
Day Five
Today is a feast day. You will eat 1 (one) cup of rice. You also have to eat 6 (six) whole tomatoes and drink 12 (twelve) glasses of water today to cleanse your system of the excess uric acid you will be producing.
Day Six
Today is another all vegetables day. You must eat 1 cup of rice today and eat all the vegetables you want cooked and uncooked to your heart’s content.
Day Seven
Today your food intake will consist of 1 cup rice, fruit juice and all the vegetables you care to consume. Tomorrow morning you will be five to eight kilograms lighter than 1 week ago. If you desire further weight loss, repeat the program again. Repeat the program as often as you like, however, it is suggested that you rest for three days before every repetition.
You have your system under control now and it will thank you for all the purging and cleansing you just gave it. Even more than a diet program it is good to follow this diet once in a while to clean your digestive system and remove toxic substances that have a accumulated in the system.

*General Motors Wonder Soup
The following soup is intended as a supplement to your diet. It can be eaten any time of the day in virtually unlimited quantities. You are encouraged to drink large quantities of this soup.
• 23 oz water
• 06 large onions
• 02 green peppers
• 03 whole tomatoes
• 1 cabbage
• 1 bunch celery – add herbs and seasoning as desired.
This program is highly recommended for women and men above 40 for whom excess weight is especially dangerous. Excess weight for women aggravates arthritis problems and leads to rapid joint decay. Pain and joint deterioration can be lessened by weight loss as weight loss removes the stress on the knee joint. Excess weight is the most critical factor in keeping good health and excess weight is responsible for the most problems including coronary diseases, heart problems, arthritis and cancer among other serious life threatening diseases. Most serious health problems can be avoided by the single function of maintaining an ideal weight. Daily mild exercise of 20 minutes is also essential. Do not tire yourself out, but being regular in your exercise and maintaining an ideal weight goes a long way in ensuring a happy, healthy and long life.

no belt

I’m super inlove with these D&G trousers.  The detailing is all in the waist, that’s why you don’t need a belt when wearing them.  Super genious.
I really want to get a pair, especially the white one.  I rarely get the “oh-my-god-I-have-to-have-that” feeling and now that’s what I have in my head.

Olympic Fashion

I was going through my notes in my mobile phone where I put all things that I don’t want to forget about and saw my Lucy Liu entry which I saved on my phone about the time when the Beijing Olympics was just starting.  Contrary to it’s purpose, I failed to remember to blog about Lucy Liu’s photos in Harper’s Bazaar magazine about Olympic Fashion.  And I really love the photos even if I did not agree with what was written in the introduction which goes like “On the eve of the games in Beijing, Lucy Liu demonstrates that it’s not whether you win or lose, it’s how you’re dressed that counts.”  I don’t agree on that statement.  I would rather win and bring home a medal.

Lucy is wearing a Chanel gown and a $9,875 necklace by Balenciaga

I’m really a fan of multi-layered skirts just like this red Armani dress.  And she’s wearing Alejandro Ingelmo shoes.

The Ultimate Balancing Act.  I think of all the pictures, this one is the most difficult to do.  Imagine balancing on a beam wearing high heels and a Versace gown.

Swing out, Sister.  I hope she’s not trying to do a bryan boy pose with this Chanel bag LOL.  And if you’d like to wear this Dolce & Gabbana gown you have to be thin.  Good thing she is.

Right on Target.  Carolina Herrera vest and fedora.  Really  sharp.

Weighing In.  Gaultier jumpsuit and belt plus Gucci bags.

This one got me a little confused.  En Garde.  The outfit looks ballet to me especially the shoes, but since there’s no ballet in the Olympics, this must be fencing. Hehehehe.  The dress is a Givenchy.

A Fighting Chance.  I think this is one of the easiest photos to do, or maybe not if it’s difficult to make Lucy laugh.  How many jokes did they try?  LOL  But seriously the Dior gown is cute but I don’t think it will look good on me.   And I didn’t know they have pink Everlast gloves!

Photo Finish.  A $7,000 Alexander Mcqueen dress says it all.

Solid Gold.  This Christian Lacroix gown is really a winner.

My first 2009 post

Oh my, there’s so much to do even when you don’t have anything to do.  What I mean is, even if you don’t have work because of the long holidays, or even if it’s just the weekends, there’s still so much to do online – there’s blogging, there’s friendster, there’s youtube, multiply, facebook, friendster, there’s chuvaness, facebook, email, blogs, and a lot more.

Hee Chul @ Wanted Perfect Family

I was watching tv this morning while getting ready for work when I saw a commercial about a new Korean tv series to be aired in GMA 7 and I was soo surprised to see Hee Chul in the OBB.  Oh my god!! Oh my god oh my god!!  that’s what I said to my self.

Super Late Xmas Shopping

This year, the universe conspired in making me do my Christmas shopping on the very last minute. I swear, I am only starting tomorrow, the 24th. I haven’t even bought anything for my self yet, not even a single thing. Well, there are valid reasons for this and it’s mainly financial. I’m only getting my hard earned money today, that’s why.
I also have noticed that I kind of stopped buying things for myself, I don’t even think of buying clothes, shoes, or gadgets anymore. What is going on with me? Is this another sign of ageing? Whatever!
