Do u remember the "burp" in my first post? NO?Read abt it here.
So...day 4 says,
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.
I started wondering which !@#$ must have created this plan..I mean, first u r prohobited from having even 2 teaspoons of milk in ur tea, and suddenly u ask the guineapigs taking this diet to eat bananas?? 8 bananas?? and three glasses of milk?? (actually, somewhere deeeep inside i was relieved, coz i was tired of starving myself and i love bananas..:PP..but thats not the point here..:(). all those days u avoided McChicken combos and had terrible combos like tea and guava...Even Curd Rice dripping from my collegues hands and moustach looked like biryani to me...and now u say eat bananas? bull shit!
In any case, i thought of following the plan,for 1.)I like bananas, 2)The plan was soon going to end.
As i re-arranged the clothes in my cupboard, i pulled out those jeans expectantly and kept them in a more accessible place..I thought, when i go out this sunday , i"ll not have to wear those looong, aunty style kurtas to camouflage my tummy and then........tring tringg..tring tring...triinnnnnnnnnnggg...goshh..khayalon mainn...I stumbled outside to pick-up the call.Nitin had planned for a movie this afternoon! woww!!
Not to mention, all my determination and will power smashed to pieces after smelling all those heavenly things u get at multiplexes...still, to fight the guilt, i ordered a subway sandwich..no patty..lowfat dressing..;)) after all, subs are healthy! and far better for diet than bananas!!! arent they??

Mission Diet - Day Three
Welcome back after the break! I knw its too long to be called a break, but thats how its is when u stay alone away frm ur hometown with 1 yr kid!
Anyway, what kicked this off is,I found an old notepad today while cleaning...and guess what i got..hardcopies of the remaining Mission Diet story! First i just smiled and kept it aside. But on second thought, i decided to complete the story here, so that it doesnt vanish with the notepad and i can read it later. And I knw that even if no-one else bothers to read this post, vinaya definitely will..:))
So here's the story:
Day Three: A mixture of fruits and vegetables of your choice. Any amount, any quantity. No bananas yet. No potatoes today.
My face lit up while reading the first line. But as they say, good things dont last long...no potatoes and no bananas..then what was i left with?..:(
veggies were out of question. They made me puke by now. I bought 250 rs worth of fruits(ofcourse..Nitin doesnt know..)..and survived on papaya, chiku, watermelon and apples for the rest of the day..
Frankly speaking, I was waiting for this damn thing to get over now. "Par yaha pe izzat ka sawaal tha". I knew very well that if i quit the diet now, I"ll have it from Nitin and all my colony friends for the rest of my life!
I cudnt get my eyes off Nitin's daal-chawal and pickle on the dinner table, but i did notice the smirk!!! grrrrrrr........
Anyway..i m definitely 3 kgs lighter today!

Mission diet-Day 2
Day2 - Only Vegetables.
"You can have one large boiled potato for breakfast"said the GM diet plan. This was a big relief bcoz i love boiled potatoes..and they go far better with tea then guavas..sprinkled chaat masala generously on the potato and finished it pretty fast.
During the day, I had tomatoes and cucumbers whenever i felt hungry. By evening, i got tired of both of them. I started browsing the net for salad reciepies. To start with, I shredded one full cabbage and broke the spinach leaves with hand like a pro (the way they do it on "Nigella's kitchen").Then topped it with a capful of vinegar and salt and voila!My salad was ready. It was looking really appealing..i was damn hungry and hurried one big spoon into my mouth. To be frank, i wasnt very impressed with my work.Actually i was depressed.. :( Jus to add a lil flavour i added 2-3..actually 4-5 drops of olive oil. But it dint really help. I guess only italians knw how to use olive oil. We shud stick to our high fat sunflower/groundnut oils.Finally, our very own "Chaat masala" came to rescue. With 3 big spoons of chaat masala, i forced as much as now, not-so-appealing salad in my mouth as i could and started to throw rest of it to the dustbin. Jus before that, i packed it in black plastic bags...i did not want Nitin to knw that i wasnt good at salads(also).
On dinner table, I promised myself a large chicken mexican redwave as i served garam garam phulkas and chana curry to Nitin...
P.S: While sleeping, i felt atleast 2 kgs lighter...

Mission diet-Day 1
Getting ready:
I announced to all my friends that I m on diet for next 7 days. They all threw dirty looks at me. As if i said i dint brush today morning..(Thought of better examples but cant post..:P). Most of my gang mates are Punjabi's. And by Punjabi standards, I was the fittest lady around. That did flatter me for a second, but just for a second. I thought once again abt all my jeans thrown in one corner of my cupboard and ignored their comments. We all marched towards Praniti's house to chk my weight. It was 63...64..somewhere between 63 and 64. Ok, noted. One week after today, I"ll be atleast 4 kgs lighter..i told myself and smiled.
Day1: Only fruits.
My system doesnt boot completely till I empty one large cup of tea inside it. Everything before tea is done in a trance state. In the same trance i added milk to my cup of tea..and immediately realized that only black tea without sugar was allowed..but day1 was full of enthusiasm...I promptly passed that cup to Nitin, poured myself black tea..and squeezed half a lemon into it. When I took my first sip, I allmost spitted it out..I felt as if someone was trying to morph my face as i tried hard to keep it straight. Nitin looked at me and asked "u okay??"..With great difficulty i smiled and said "yeah, absolutely..the tea is a bit bitter..but thats okay..kuch paane ke liye kuch khona padta hain"..said the SRK fan in me. I dint had the slightest idea that time that this dialogue is going to bounce back at me..and that too really hard..."very good", Nitin replied and dug into his sausages..."Mahn, those are really oily.."i consoled myself and got myself a guava...But guava with tea..I just cut the guava into nice pieces and kept them aside for later use.
The rest of day1 wasnt that bad...i ate a lots of water melon, papaya, and ofcourse guava...and slept off feeling atleast 500 gms lighter......

I am on diet!
Yes, I m on diet!
Those who know me from school/college days wud fall off from their chairs if they read this. Aarti on diet??Does she want to disappear??In fact, my friends used to call me Olive(Olive as in popeye)..for being terribly skinny..but yes..the day has come when I had to go on a diet...
Actually, post pregnancy, I had put on a lot. To add to all this, Nitin(my hubby) doesnt giv a damn to this healthy eating stuff. For him, eating atleast 2 chocolate feasts and 2 cornettos in weekdays is a must. Weekend meals shud finish with large helpings of baverian chocolate frm baskin robbins. With my cooking, we have to order cheese burst pizzas atleast once a week. Potato chips are like family members..we just cant live without them..After marriage i had gained 10 kgs.. and now i wanted to get rid of those extra pounds...So one of my friends, vaibhavi, suggested this GM diet.. Now thats another shock for my schoolmates..coz vaibhs is supposed to be the one in need of a diet. But now its exactly opposite...to all my school friends, plz visit Vaibhavi's orkut profile and see her snaps...(and plz don see mine..:()
So whatever Vaibhs sent is called as GM diet. Its a diet plan wherein u have to eat only certain kinds of foods for seven days. Seven days is OK..i thought...and even the plan seemed pretty easy..I decided to give it a shot...
Today is day 4...burpp... (of a subway sandwich..no patty..lowfat dressing..;))
will post my experience of day 1 to day 4 in the next post and for last three days later...
So,

kya aap ye diet kar sakte hain?kin haalat se gujarna padta hain..ye diet karne waaalon pe kaunsa keher tut padta hain...kya hoga iska anjaam..jaane ke liye dekhte rahiye...Myspace:)
