The Banana Diet...?

Directory of Health Blogs

Yes so true, there is a big deal going around about the banana diet. SO what is the banana diet, Eat 1 banana before breakfast, eat 1 banana before lunch, and eat 1 banana before dinner. It does not take much to figure this out. There is no special ingredient in a banana that helps you to lose weight. There is no secret formula in the banana diet. So why would the banana diet help you lose weight? The same way a glass of milk before each meal, or a glass of water before each meal would help you lose weight.

What happens when you normally eat a banana? You feel full. The key to the banana diet is simply feeling full before you eat breakfast, lunch, or dinner. This feeling then allows you to eat less of each meal.

This can be acheived with a glass of milk before each meal. Milk when consumed allows you to feel full, this helps you eat less.

The banana diet does not have to be a banana. You can eat an apple, or some other large fruit. How about eating a bowl of grapes before each meal, or a bowl of mixed fruit. There is some evidence that suggest stawberries when digested burns more calories during the digestion process. So eat a bowl of strawberries before each meal. One feeling full and not eating as much, and two burning more calories during the digestive process.

So there is no magic formula of the banana diet. There is no magic ingredient in a banana that helps you lose weight. The key is just feeling full before eating each meal.
