What Is The Skinny On The Banana Diet?
The Banana Diet
Several people have been asking about the banana diet and what it’s all about.
The banana diet is simple and is causing quite a stir in Japan right now. Actually it’s quite hard to find any bananas.
The banana diet or morning banana diet (since you eat bananas in the morning) is as simple as this.
1. In the morning eat a banana or several if you like and a glass of water at room temperature.
2. Eat what you like for lunch and dinner.
3. You may have a small snack around 3 in the afternoon but no desserts or snacks after meals.
4. Don’t eat anything after 8 in the evening.
5. Go to bed by midnight.
Does it work? Yes BUT. It’s not the bananas that help you lose weight but it’s the idea that your not snacking after meals or eating in the evening. Your also getting a decent amount of sleep and lack of sleep has been blamed for weight gain.
It’s basically a calorie controlled diet. Calorie controlled diets work - you make sure that you eat less calories in the day than you would burn off and you’ll lose weight.
So is the banana diet right for you? The banana diet is basically a fad type diet that is based on
controlling calories. If you think that eating a banana or two in the morning will help you keep on a calorie controlled diet and avoid junk food, then the banana diet might be right for you.
But if you are still going to snack on junk and eat late in the evening adding a banana to your diet won’t help you lose weight.
Just remember that bananas as good for you but they don’t cause weight loss - they allow weight loss when in conjuction with a sensible diet.
