So maybe you've heard of the diet involving eating bananas and nothing but bananas. A big push is the banana diet and weight loss. Many people seem to believe there is simply no better way to lose weight. While you will may lose weight while performing the banana diet, there are some pros and cons I'd like to point out as well as mentioning another option for weight loss that is far more effective and can be used in addition to the banana diet if you choose to (but not at the same time) as I'll explain.
How does it work?
Basically what you do is this, with only a glass of warm water you can eat as many bananas as you want for breakfast every day. While your breakfast and dinner can be whatever you choose.
The Banana Diet and Weight Loss
So if I haven't made it clear, this diet may help you to lose weight, although the reasoning behind this is somewhat sketchy at best. Simply because there is no inherent benefit to eating a boat load of bananas over say a lot of apples or any other fruit for breakfast. Yes bananas are high in potassium, but so are other foods and more importantly the fiber content in bananas is rivaled and exceeded by many other fruits. What it would seem to be that is causing the weight loss is simply the fact that it encourages a more balanced intake of fiber over the typical whole grain approach which doesn't always digest so well for many people, (see gluten intolerance). With a diet high in raw fresh fruit in the morning you are encouraging a better stimulation of natural energy which in turn can help burn fat. If that's the case though why not just try a raw food diet? As overweight raw foodists simply don't exist.
So what are the negatives then to this diet?
Well basically this diet is not realistic for many people, as after a week of eating the same breakfast every day most will give up. Beyond this the diet has no restrictions on lunch and dinner which are the key meals of the day. Dinner in particular should only be lean meat and starch free vegetables, as your metabolism is at its lowest point during this time. On top of all this, there is no solid evidence that swapping in any other fiber rich fruit for breakfast can't do the same thing, so basically the banana diet can be as easy as saying eat fiber rich fruits for breakfast every day with warm water. As well its been shown that the body will more readily create antigens to foods consumed every day. So basically if you don't want to develop a sensitivity to bananas I wouldn't suggest eating them every day in this manner.
So is the Banana Diet the Best Option?
In my opinion no. There are much better alternatives such as, the tier system of a big breakfast (With or without bananas) Mid size lunch and a small dinner. Breakfast can contain carbs, lunch can contain some carbs with a balance of vegetables and lean meat. Dinner should only be lean meat and ideally just low starch vegetables. The one thing the banana diet does right is the fact that any fruit should only be eaten in the earlier part of the day, on an empty stomach and never with other foods. So breakfast with warm water is ideal.
