The Banana Diet
Just when you think you’ve heard it all,
something else comes along. The Banana Diet gained popularity
in
Japan
and has made
its way to the western world. If you love bananas, this diet
could be great for you.
Why bananas? Well, bananas are thought of as
a wholesome food. It contains potassium which is needed by the
body and most people don’t get enough of on a daily basis.
Bananas can be filling, more filling than other fruits. It has
a high water and fiber content which are also good
things.
The problem here isn’t that bananas aren’t
good but that a diet that revolves around them is suspect at
best. The banana growing companies are happy because they are
selling more bananas than ever. Here is the diet plan so you
can decide for yourself.
Step One is to eat two bananas for breakfast
with water. The water is supposed to be warm. The amount is
not known but a glass (eight ounces) is probably
good.
Step Two is to enjoy a snack mid morning if
you feel the need. If you have a job, halfway through the
morning is when most people start getting the
munchies.
Step Three is to eat a sensible lunch and a
sensible dinner. You can have practically whatever you want to
eat. No snacks between meals though. Eat dinner before eight
o’clock in the evening.
The last step is to go to bed and start
again the next morning. No evening snacks are allowed. There
isn’t even a water requirement. In fact, the only water you
are asked to drink is with the bananas.
If you’ve ever been on a diet, you are
probably thinking this one seems simple. You eat bananas and
lose weight. Some people have lost weight, but were the
bananas really the reason?
For people who are used to skipping
breakfast, eating bananas in the morning helps to rev up that
metabolism. This is nothing new since dieticians and health
professionals have long said that breakfast is the most
important meal of the day.
If you eat a greasy
hamburger and fries for lunch or takeout every day, any weight
loss could be reversed before too long even though you
are eating bananas in the morning. Since
this is a diet plan, you will try to eat healthier at those
next two meals. Some won’t and herein lays a
problem
With no other guidelines and the bananas being charged
with doing the job that other nutrients are supposed to
handle, this diet has many pitfalls. By all means eat your
bananas if you like them, but be careful basing the entire
health of your body on
it
