GM Diet also considers chicken as a substitute of beef or meat but remember to have chicken only on day 5 and day 6. Also while cooking, do not use the skin of the chicken. Many tasty recipes can be made with chicken and are easy to cook also.
The non-vegetarian diet is designed as following:
- Day one of the diet focuses only on fruits except bananas. You can have as many fruits on the first day. Watermelons should be consumed on day one as it helps you to lose weight quickly.
- Day two of the diet is all about having vegetables, raw or cooked as per choice. Carbohydrates is also the part of the diet so potatoes can be taken in breakfast.
- On the third day of diet both fruits and vegetables must be consumed. You can have fruits and vegetables of your choice but bananas and potatoes should be avoided.
- Day four is about only milk and bananas; you can have 8 bananas and 3 glasses of milk in the whole day. A partial quantity of vegetable soup may be pooled with the diet.
- On the fifth day of the diet fish, chicken or beef with tomatoes can be consumed. To maintain the uric acid levels in your body produced in last four days, more and more water should be taken.
- Day six gives you the liberty to eat any quantity of fish, chicken or beef and you may consume vegetables along with it.
