Banana diet, eat bananas to lose weight fast?

Make a banana diet by eating lots of fruit this is a way to lose weight started in Japan and is now happening in the United States.

This is called "the banana regime." And it is that simple, eat bananas in the morning (for breakfast) and lose weight. This scheme is highly fashionable in Japan, where it has become extremely difficult to find bananas in supermarkets and small local grocery stores (despite increases of imports of bananas up to 40% in some supermarkets) precisely because of heavy buying bananas for the purposes of this scheme.

If there was a magic pill or diet to lose weight fast, it is not (although tesofensine, the new drug discovered, which can lose weight two times faster than Reductil should be talked about in the next time), but that 'is it just a "magic fruit" (according to proponents of the system) as the banana.

It may be tempting to try if you do not eat bananas for a long time.

Everyone says New York, perhaps because everyone tells them precisely that "just eat some bananas and lose weight," but is what is likely?

The plan seems simple. Eat fresh bananas (raw, uncooked and unfrozen) for breakfast or early in the morning by drinking water at room temperature (the temperature of the room in which it is located). You can eat a banana (4 may be reasonable according to the inventor of the system, Ms. Sumiko Watanabe, a pharmacist in Osaka, Japan), but without going to the point where you have a stomach ache (due to stomach overfilled). You have to eat bananas to be chewing long aware of his tastes.

If you're still hungry 15 or 30 minutes after you finish eating bananas at breakfast, you can eat other foods (such as oatmeal or whole grain).

Then you can eat what you want for lunch and dinner (stopping eating when you are satisfied). It should not, however, make desserts or snacks, do not eat either after 8pm (ideally around 6 pm according to the inventor of the banana regime).

You can drink only water during this diet (mineral water or filtered water). You should not drink hot or cold water, but only that at room temperature. You must drink sipping, not gulps. Other beverages such as tea, coffee or soda low calorie is allowed but not recommended for the banana regime. Exceptionally, you can drink beer or wine.

Then you have to go to bed before midnight. And the most surprising as followers of this banana diet is that it is not necessary to exercise to lose weight fast outside what has been said previously.

The person who invented the banana regime, Ms. Sumiko Watanabe (pharmacist in Osaka, Japan), had designed in hopes of stimulating the metabolism of her husband Hitoshi Watanabe gentleman (who was overweight before following this diet). After completing the plan, Mr. Hitoshi Watanabe has lost more than 16 pounds. He introduced his wife plan on mixi (one of the largest social networks in Japan). His wife has since written a book, "Plan for the morning banana" which has sold more than 800,000 copies.

The banana regime has been even more excitement after the broadcast by one of the biggest TV shows in Japan a report showing a famous singer who successfully lose weight 8 pounds in just 6 weeks following this diet. The days that followed the broadcast, sales of bananas off 80% compared to the same period last year. Despite higher prices for bananas 20%, demand was also strong for this fruit.

Is the banana diet work?

"You can not say that bananas are magical, but they provide good nutrients to add to your diet especially with a view to lose weight," says Lisa Drayer, author of the book "The beauty regime."

Lisa Drayer said that the banana regime might work at first because bananas are rich in fiber and vitamins, low in calories (100 calories per 100 grams of banana). Bananas are also good alternatives to sugary cereal or cream cheese for breakfast.

So finally the banana regime is not as magical as this. Japan is also known for launching many fad diets, which are remained popular for a short time. For example, in the 1990s, the country had launched the apple diet, cocoa diet, diet with peppers. In the early 2000s, Japan had launched the black vinegar diet, the diet of carrot juice, soy milk diet, the diet of yeast beer, etc..

Moreover, experts still believe that there is no substitute for a healthy low calorie diet (about 1400 calories per day for women and about 1800 calories per day for a man, for example) accompanied by regular physical exercise.
