What Is the Banana Diet?
There is a new weight loss craze making its way around the world. The phenomenon
known as the banana diet was developed by Hitoshi Watanabe who studied
preventative medicine in Tokyo. This quick and easy weight loss plan has proven to be so successful that Japan is
experiencing its first shortage of bananas (as opposed to diet pills). People all around the world are
questioning what this particular diet entails and why are bananas considered a
weight loss miracle. I will provide some of the answers to these two questions.
There are several steps to the banana diet. In the morning, you are supposed to
consume only bananas and room temperature water. You can eat whatever you like
for lunch and dinner but you have to make sure not to eat after 8 PM. Aside from
the time restriction certain other rules include: no ice cream, no dairy
products, no alcohol, no dessert after dinner, no diet pill supplements, and the only beverage you can
have with your meals is room temperature water. You are allowed one sweet, healthy snack in the mid-afternoon. So as you can see this diet is fairly easy, almost too
good to be true according to some people. The freedom of this diet makes people
question "how exactly am I going to
lose weight if I can eat almost anything I want?"
Well there are several theories which explain how the banana diet works. The
first theory has to do with enzymes. Some people claim that bananas contain
certain enzymes which speed up metabolism and improve digestive health. Another theory
claims that it is the resistant starch in bananas which does the trick. This
resistant starch supposedly promotes fullness and increases fat burning.
However, no matter what the reason may be, people in Japan have truly taken part
in this new weight loss miracle.
