GENERAL MOTORS WEIGHT LOSS DIET
The following diet and health program was 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 56
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.
During the first seven days you must drink 10 glasses of water each day.
DAY ONE
All fruits except bananas. Your first day will consists of all fruits you want. It is suggested
you consume lost of watermelon and cantaloupe.

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.
DAY THREE
Any mixture of fruits and vegetables of your choice. Any amount, any quantity. No
bananas yet and no potatoes today.
DAY FOUR
Bananas and milk. Today you will eat as many as eight bananas and drink three glasses
of milk. You can also have I bowl of vegetables soup.
DAY FIVE
Today is a feast day. You will eat 1 cup of rice. You also have to eat six whole tomatoes
and drink 12 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 hears content.
DAY SEVEN
Today your food intake will consist of 1 cup rice, fruit juice and the vegetables you care
to consume. Tomorrow morning you will be five to eight kgs. 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.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
The most important element of the program is the 10 tall glasses of water a day. You
can also flavour the water will some lemon to make the drink easier. While on the
program, take only black coffee and never more than one teaspoon of oil. Preferably do
not use oil because the high calorific content. No fruit juices before day seven.
Here is what happens to you body while you are on this program and how and why it
works.
Day 1: You are preparing your system for the upcoming program. Your only source of
nutrition is fresh fruits. Fruits are nature’s perfect food. They provide everything
you can possibly want to sustain life except total balance and variety.
Day 2: Starts with a fix complex carbohydrates in the form of a boiled potato. This is
taken in the form of a boiled potato and taken in the morning to provide energy
and balance. The rest of the day too consists of vegetables which are virtually
calories free and provide essential nutrients and fibre.
Day 3: Eliminates the potato because you get your carbohydrates from fruits. Your
system is now prepared to start burning excess pounds. You will have cravings,
which should start to diminish by day four.
Day 4: Bananas and milk. You are in for a surprise. You probably will not be able to
eat all the bananas allowed. But they are there fore the potassium you have lost
and the sodium you may have missed the last three days. You will notice a
definite loss of desire for sweets and you will be surprised at how easy this day
will go.
Day 5: Rice and tomatoes. The rice is for the carbohydrates and the tomatoes are for
the digestion and the fibre. Lots of water purifies your system. You should notice
colourless urine today. Do not feel you have to eat one cup rice, you may eat less.
But you may eat six tomatoes.
Day 6: It is similar to five. Vitamins and fibre from the vegetables and carbohydrates
from the rice. By now your system is in a total weight loss inclination. There
should be a noticeable difference in the way you look today compared to day one.
Day 7: You may celebrate with champagne. You may also have white wine instead of
champagne, but in al practical programs, and in all surveys done to measure the
success of the program, General Motors employees have always preferred
champagne to white wine.
Motor than one cup of coffee with milk is especially forbidden. Milk and oil add empty
calories to your diet. Avid coffee lovers can console themselves with black coffee.
However, after the first week, it will help your digestion and set your stomach. The key
think to remeb4er is that if you are hungry at any time, then you are not following the
diet correctly. Almost all people give up the diet when they are hungry because of
dieting. The secret of this program is that you should never hungry. If it is a vegetable
day, eat so much vegetables so that you are never hungry. If it is a fruits day, eat so
much fruits that you are never hungry. You may be bored of eating vegetables all day,
but you should not be hungry. You can take any amount of General Motors wonder soup
on any day.
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.

Vada-Pav, Chai and back to Burgers

Anytime, I am watching CNN/Fox channels, its very depressing feeling with most of the news focusing their prime time on topics like - Gas prices, Job cuts, Foreclosures, Real estate market, Terrorism, Outsourcing impact, Crime in city and new health warnings!!!! Everyone in America is getting very sensitive about everything. Clients are getting ruthless and consulting firms are finding difficult to survive. Economy is tumbling. Clearly I was in need of a Break and yes, I had one - most memorable by all means!!!
Six weeks of vacation!!!! first 3 weeks Europe visit and then INDIA!!!

Europe was fascinating and also costly. Thanks to my tourist company for arranging such a wonderful tour and giving me all those lifetime memories. Every country was beautiful in its own way. GB, Belgium,Netherland,Holland, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Italy and France!!! I visited Wimbledon. That just awakened all my childhood memories of that Final between Bijon Borg and McEnroe!!! Also visited Lords - "Mecca of Cricket" and saw Kohinoor!!! Never imagined anytime that I will be so close to history, never thought that GOD will be so kind to me. I was thrilled to see so many places in 3 weeks that I cannot even describe it in words. The entire Europe was so beautiful. Any place you look around is like greeting card landscapes. Italy was amazing. Walking through lanes of Rome, reminded me of Julius Caesar, Alexander - the great, Leonardo, Michelangelo and so many great personalities. It was as if, I was meeting those heroes and walking through history. Simply fascinating!!!!

Time flies and so those 3 weeks in Europe and then much awaited India visit after almost 8 yrs!!! Every moment was different and I still feel empty, when I think about those moments, relatives, friends, Crowd, Traffic, everything and anything about India. India is always known for its hospitality and this visit just confirmed the warm nature of people. India kept its core values intact even when she is progressing at such a high speed and fast rate. I found that Indians are just better at accepting the changes more easily. They are very tolerant about day to day issues of traffic jams/electricity etc. as if those issues dont exists and you get a feel that everyone is so happy and stress free, even if there are more issues and less resources available for them.

After such a lovely vacation, when I came back here, those express ways seemed so empty, worthless and lonely. I almost felt like calling all fellow Indians and ask them to flood the express ways with all those autos, two wheelers and Bicycles. Honk from everywhere and just make me feel at once - That I am alive!!!!

Sapphire Conference

I walked back from Sapphire with lots of stories to share and with a great new view of the world. SAP has become very powerful. Sapphire was a power show. Very systematic and absolute seamless arrangment - over 800 seminars in two and half days!!!!
There was information flow everywhere. I tried to keep my eyes and ears open and tried to absorb as much as possible in these Sapphire days. SAP mainly was focussing on MDM, eSOA and Business Objects. There were lots of small companies who did some presentation and were impressive at their booths. Capgemini presence was Huge!!! We had biggest booth and also right place for logo on participants kit. There were almost all big players in Sapphire and came very well prepared. It was very serious participation from everyone - Customers, Consulting partners, SAP, cooks, waiters, bartenders, everyone meaning literally everyone. On Sunday we had internal Capgemini meeting to chalk out the strategy and assigning the responsibility. I was placed under Auto and OS category. Sunday evening was networking meeting and was sponsered by HCL. I thought that it was waste of marketing money from HCL as most of the people who came there for networking meeting never attempted to walk into HCL Booth at all and was busy drinking, eating and enjoying their Sunday evening. Only HCL was allowed to keep the booth open making all their resources to stand in booth loosing the opportunity to meet other customers. I was also surprised that they came up with idea of "Free SAP Upgrade" scheme. Overall, I was skeptical about their approach. Deloitte/Accenture were good. Yash was making good presence in the SAP Market these days and it was evident from their presence in the Sapphire. Though I was expecting some speaker sessions from them.
Personally and professionaly, I think it was great experience. I met Capgemini CTO Andy Mulholland and he was very very impressive. Every minute he talked, I could see the spark and sharpness. He is very knowledgable and it was apparent in every word he was speaking.
One thing was clear that there is lot to catch up. SAP is changing the world in a big way. Earlier IT was used to run and support businesses but the way SAP is positioning themselves is to create new business opportunities using technology. This is giving most of the customers edge over their competitors to get into new product lines, introducing flexible options to their customers and obviously with reduced response time with accurate information.
No one talked about R/3. It was all about new dimension products. Somehow I felt there was NO focus on products like APO. There was lot of coverage for HCM, PLM, CRM, somewhat on SRM but nothing much to cover manufacturing alone.
Monday was very busy and evenings were allowed for all the cosulting companies to offer free cocktails to their customers (current and potential). Me and Vishal went to other place instead of hanging with team. Tuesday evening was Eric Clipton Live and Wednesday evening I flew back to detroit....It was awesome, eye opening experience which I will treasure it for sometime now....as it also gave me opportunity to meet old faces in SAP...I met lot of my friends. And theres always lot to talk when you meet friends after 7-8 yrs!!!!

Allergies

Never been victim of allergies but after my smokey mountain visit, its everyday. Dealing with allergies takes a hell lot than one can imagine. Their presence is everywhere - on skin and in your mind. And then medication makes it worst. Drowsy and conscious are the constant feelings you will carry throughout days, throughout weeks and months. Funny topic to talk about or write about on blog but its just not possible to go through it for last 6 weeks - still going through and not worth mentioning!!!!
After repeated doctor's visits and specialists (impossible to get appointments for almost 3-4 months!!!), the result is a common conclusion - HIVES!!! And That's where I understood the limitation of medical science.
It seems HIVES if stayed beyond 6 weeks, they are called Chronic Hives and its difficult to know the agent or exact reason for Chronic Hives. It is also impossible to know how to get rid of, what exact medication will work for it and how much time it will take to recover. We are thinking that we are staying in most advanced world and have all the answers - atleast as little as Allergies or atelast thats how I used to think about allergies before, but I now realized how limited understanding medical science still has regarding their own product - Human Body.
Over decades, there was struggle and fights between spiritual world and Medical science. Doctors believed in what they could establish as facts through the science or results through mathematical calculations, while Spiritual leaders always believed that there are "Miracles". There are things beyond and over human understanding. Scientists proved that they could make human fly, travel through universe, artificial reproduction, cloning, early warning systems and many more. And Spiritual leaders established that there is still lot which is unanswered, unknown and unimaginable - life after death, world beyond universe and much more, they explain these miracles in umpteen details.
I don't know the answer and I don't know which way to go. But I think both are believes. Scientists believes that there are no miracles and Spiritual leaders believes that there is world that goes way beyond science. There is huge difference in belief and knowledge. Scientists and Spiritual leaders are struggling to get to the answer and failed to share the knowledge to prove the theory one way or other so far. There is still long way to go but everyday, there are discoveries, there are Samadhis. There is progress and step forward in both direction. I think this is what God has designed...THE DISCOVERY of God - through science and through internal journey...both world will progress and meet where it all began. We all will witness and then there will be end of struggle...a beginning of silent endless NIRVANA...
The real question is - Are YOU ready to explore?
