Diet till you are quiet

Recently One of my friend told me about a brilliant diet plan recommended by General Motors. They claim that you will lose 5 kgs in 7 days if followed correctly. I told him to forward me the diet plan. I immediately took a print of it and started reading it. This one was not like the other plans where they advice not to eat this, not to drink that, eat this in limited quantities etc etc.
Before I proceed, let me tell you something about me and why I Opted for this diet plan.
Height : 5 Foot 10 Inches.
Weight : 83 Kgs (Recommended weight for that height is 72-75 Kgs )
Waist : 34 Inches.
Daily Intake of food :
Breakfast : At least 5 Idlis + Coconut water.
Lunch : 6 Rotis(Small size) + Rice. OR A banana leaf full of rice + Andhra style accompaniments.
Dinner : 3/4 Rotis (Big ones) + Rice. And a fruit Juice.

Chicken every weekend.

Some great achievements :
1: 10 Jowar Rotis (We call them Bhakri) + rice and other accompaniments in one meal.
2: Two Consecutive lunches on the same day.
3: Eating 1 roti without breaking it.
4: Eating a full 3 Kg watermelon at one go.
5: 5 Masala dosas in Breakfast.
6: 13 Idlis in Breakfast.
7: 2 Chicken Biryanis for Lunch.
8: 1 Full Grilled Chicken for Dinner.
9: Nick named "Tanker" for my eating abilities.

Now after having so much of food everyday, who wont get fat ?
And for someone who loves food so much, how will a diet plan work ?

This Diet plan consisted of having selected food items each day, and the best thing was, You have no limit on how much you eat ! Also, on day 6 of the plan, they recommend to eat meat and white wine ! Even if I don't drink, eating chicken and still losing weight fascinated me.
So I made up my mind, From tomorrow, the diet starts. Since from tomorrow, I will be abstained from junk food, I thought why not enjoy the most today ?
So I ate 1 Plate Onion Bhajji, 1 Plate Mirchi Bhajji, 1 packet Bingo-Mad Angles, and at last had a regular Dinner. I had also brought 2 pomegranates, 1 watermelon and some Mangoes to inaugurate the Diet's Day 1.

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 Cantaloupe. If you limit your fruit consumption to Melons, your chances of losing three lbs. on first day are very good.

I will lose 1 Kg in the first day ! Wow !! This is cool ! Straight away I cut the watermelon, and started eating it. I finished half of it and saved the rest for Lunch. I was smiling as my room mates looked at me in astonishment. I simply ignored them and went to the office. While going to the office, I could feel that I have already lost weight. So I weight myself on the way. Unfortunately, I was still 83 Kg. :x
In office, For the first hour, I was merrily working, But later I started feeling hungry. So much of watermelon where did it go ? Why am I feeling hungry now ? The thought of going back home and again having a watermelon made me sick. As in bad times, good news comes in the form of lightning, for me, Good news came in the form of an SMS.
Our everyday dinner tiffin is supplied by a Marathi aunty. She had messaged me that today she will be serving Egg curry. "How many tiffins do you need ?"
What a sigh of relief ! I immediately replied 3 tiffins ! Called up me roomie and said,
"DIET CANCEL. Kaku serving Egg curry today. Lets go to Krishna Chinai and have rice meals and celebrate !"
My heart was saying, " What are you doing ? you are spoiling your diet plan !" But my stomach said, " Rice, sambhar, rassam, drum sticks, chutney, buttermilk, Yummy." We met at Hotel Krishna Chinai. My roomie was laughing at me, but when the meals were served we both kept quiet and started eating it greedily. No limits to how much we eat. like me, my roomie is also famous for his eating habits. The lunch was heavy and was exactly the opposite of what the diet plan had suggested me not to eat. But who cares ? My stomach is happy.
After eating I realised what a mistake I had done. And this was not the first time, I have done the same mistakes many times, so it didn't hurt me too !
In the evening, I had dinner, Sooo tasty egg curry !!, ate the rest of the watermelon, and pomegranate. I finished everything and gave a good BURP !!! My room mates still laughing at me, and me too laughing with my head down.
And that was the end of day 1.

To sum up,
Morning I weighed 83 Kgs. I ate 1.5 Kgs of watermelon as breakfast, at least 1 Kg worth lunch. 0.6 of dinner, 0.5 Kg of watermelon. I didn't even dare to weigh myself again.
According to the plan, I was supposed to lose 1 Kg weight, But ended up gaining at least 1.5 Kgs of weight. And the greed for diet isn't over yet. I told my room mates, "Forget today. I will start the diet from Tomorrow :-)"
