Banana Diet=Joke
Another fad diet has just jumped on the market. This one coming form Japan. Apparently some famous actress lost a lot of weight following it, and now bananas are a hot and rare commodity in Japan now.
What it is is your supposed to eat a banana in the morning, as many as you want, and nothing else for breakfast. Then you can eat anything for lunch and dinner, and can have a snack at 3pm, you are not aloud a dessert at all, and you are supposed to go to bed by at least midnight.
I’m sorry but that just sounds ridiculous. First of all there is no calorie control. So a person can overeat big time, and hence can more weight and fat. And why a banana? It’s one of the most calorie dense fruit out there. They also have a high glycemic index when eaten alone. There’s a lot better choices out there, that are more nutrient/fiber dense. Just because it worked for someone famous, doesn’t mean it will work for someone else. Plus I can almost guarantee that she was doing something else to achieve this miracle weight loss.
There’s a lot of diets out there. I believe there’s over 2000 that have been documented. What is true about a diet is that it is only temporary. The body is very adaptable. You can’t fool it into losing weight and burning extra body fat forever. You need build a nutrition lifestyle. This is the only way to avoid plateaus, and the dreaded ‘re-gain and more’. A nutrition lifestyle combined with fitness will turn you into a lean, mean fat burning machine all day, week, month, and year long!
That’s what the folks at Prograde Nutrition did when they created the Metabolism Makeover Nutrition Program. It’s a course that Yun Strength and Fitness Systems will be bringing to the Columbus, Ohio area starting in January 2009. You can check the website out for more information. Metabolism Makeover.
