Morning Banana Diet

Learn how eating bananas for breakfast can help you lose weight.

The Morning Banana Diet is simple and affordable. You eat fresh bananas—as many as you want to—for breakfast. Though bananas are high in dietary fiber and potassium, they are not magic fruit and you can substitute other fruits for bananas. If you still feel hungry after eating your fruits, wait for 20-30 minutes before getting any other food.

The Morning Banana Diet provides neither list of foods to eat, nor list of foods to avoid. You can have whatever you want for lunch and dinner, though you are advised to make healthy food choices and find substitutions for fried foods. Energy needs differ from individual to individual, so the diet does not suggest meal sizes. The whole idea behind the diet is that you chew your food thoroughly and stop eating when you are starting to feel full. You should feel satisfied, not stuffed.

Under the Morning Banana Diet, you have to skip desserts. You can have fresh fruits or a small candy or cookies as a snack at 3 p.m. The only beverage recommended is room temperature water, as it is calorie-free. Drinking warm water helps digestion and raises metabolism. You can occasionally drink a cup of tea or coffee, which are very low in calories.

The Morning Banana Diet is not a fitness plan; no exercise program is offered, though everyday walking is encouraged. Being a low-impact exercise, walking improves muscle without stressing joints. It also helps burn calories, leading to weight loss.

If you are hungry after dinner, you can have some fresh fruits, though it is not encouraged. Go to bed by midnight—the earlier, the better—as sleep deprivation can hinder weight loss.

The Morning Banana Diet can help you lose weight as it encourages eating plenty of fruits, which are low in calories but help you feel full due to their high fiber content. It makes you cut down your caloric intake by avoiding overeating and eliminating high-calorie desserts and beverages from your diet.
