Saw a bunch of these posters by the Marina “bridge” so I decided to check out their site. [link]

One major problem with this site is that it works well only in Firefox!!! The videos won’t play in IE and in Chrome you can’t navigate back to the home page.

I have to say, that Kuwait really needs a website like this. It’s got some videos with great tips but not enough. There are also some 28 day programs available online too. My favorite video of the lot was this one below:

The chap at our bakala must think we are nuts. We either go there for ice-cream or nuggets. The last few days its only been fruits and veggies and last night we took his entire stock of bananas.

I’ve eaten more bananas today than I have in the last 4 years.  I’m not too fond of them unless they come with ice-cream or chocolate syrup …ummm yummy . Of these last 4 diet days, today was probably the most filling. I didn’t feel too hungry all morning after my breakfast of bananas and milk.

Can anyone count the number of bananas from the leftover skins in the pic below?

Today is day 3 of our diet. Fruits and Veggies. Feeling very light. Went for our usual 20 min walk but today I walked the entire 20 mins without feeling tired or cribbing about the walk. Usually I start cribbing after the first 2 mins of the walk and my wife drags me the rest of the way Looks like the diet is working. I can’t wait for day 5!!!

Went “veggie” shopping for day 2 of our GM diet where we found this “lovely” heart-shaped potato at the Shamiya Co-op.

I stuffed myself silly with apples, pears, kiwi and grapes the whole of yesterday. Its a real strange feeling eating only fruit. The temptation to steer away from the diet was incredible while driving down to the beach last night, all the fast food joints and bakeries. Today morning had a hot baked potato for breakfast. Rest of the day is just veggies.

We just started this diet today. This program is designed by Genral Motors Inc. for a target weight loss of 4.5-8 kgs per week. It will also improve your attitudes and emotions because of its cleansing systematic effects. The effectiveness of this seven day plan is that the food eaten burn more calories than they give to the body in caloric value. This plan can be used as often as you like 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 because you will be lighter by at least 4.5 lbs. You will have an abundance of energy and an improved disposition.

During the first seven days you must abstain from all alcohol
You must drink 10 glasses of water each day

Day One All fruits except bananas. Your first day will consist of all the fruits you want. It is strongly suggested that you consume lots of melons the first day. Especially watermelon and a loupe. If you limit your fruit consumption to melons, your chances of losing three lbs. on first day are very good.

Day Two All vegetables. You are encouraged to eat until you are stuffed with all the raw or cooked vegetables of your choice. There is no limit on the amount or type. For your complex carbohydrate, you will start day two with a large baked potato for breakfast. You may top the potato with one pat of butter.

Day Three A mixture of fruits and vegetables of your choice. Any amount, any quantity. No bananas yet. No potatoes today.

Day Four Bananas and milk. Today you will eat as many as eight bananas and drink three glasses of milk. This will be combined with the special soup which may be eaten in limited quantities.

Day Five Today is feast day. You will eat beef and tomatoes. Eat two 10 oz. portions of lean beef. Hamburger is OK. Combine this with six whole tomatoes. On day five you must increase your water intake by one quart. This is to cleanse your system of the uric acid you will be producing.

Day Six Beef and vegetables. Today you may eat an unlimited amount of beef and vegetables. Eat to your hearts content.

Day Seven Today your food intake will consist of brown rice, fruit juices and all the vegetables you care to consume.
