IntroductionThe general wisdom when it comes to dieting is that for any specific diet to be successful in the complete sense of the word there needs to be at least two different conditions present. The first condition is that the diet must make sense from the biological point of view so that it can actually be successful in addressing the weight problems of the people that decide to use it. The second condition is that the diet must be relatively easy to follow so that people can actually stay on it long enough to see some results. While there are plenty of diets that fulfill the first condition, there are not that many that fulfill the second one. This is the primary reason as to why people are still looking for that perfect diet that suits them well. If you are one of these people, The Morning Banana Diet might be exactly what the doctor ordered in helping you to lose weight! Brought to you by weightloss-hq.biz
The Morning Banana DietThe premise of the morning banana diet contains the basic diet plus some supplementary rules that you need to apply in order to give the diet the best chance of success. When you wake up in the morning, you need to start the day by eating a raw banana. Once you have done that, you need to wash it down with a glass of water at room-temperature. Once you have done those two things, the dieting portion of The Morning Banana Diet is essentially over. Those are the only instructions regarding the actual consumption of food that you will find in this diet.
However, there are also some supplementary rules that you should follow in order to make the diet as effective as possible. The first of these supplementary rules is that you need to avoid eating sweets for the whole day. You are allowed to eat one sweet snack between 3pm and 5pm each day, but you are not allowed to eat desserts with any of your meals and generally speaking it is frowned upon even to take advantage of that one opportunity in order to eat something sweet. Another supplementary rule is that you should avoid alcohol as much as possible while the final two rules regarding The Morning Banana Diet are that you should eat dinner before 8pm and go to bed before midnight. If you do all four of these things in addition to following the actual diet, proponents of the diet say that you will be giving yourself the best possible chance to see the best effects of the diet.
ExerciseOne of the best things about this diet is the fact that you can actually exercise however you want to . There is a decidedly "hands-off" approach to exercise on the parts of the people that promote this diet, saying that exercise should not be done unless the dieter actually feels like they want to do it. It also points out that if exercisers want to work out while on this diet, they should only do so in ways that are minimally stressful. This idea of reducing stress as much as possible is a recurring theme in this diet and it is seen quite clearly in the recommendations for exercise made as part of The Morning Banana Diet.
AdvantagesThere are two main advantages to The Morning Banana Diet and they both have to do with the conditions for success that were laid out in the introduction. The Morning Banana Diet has been endorsed by many nutritionists on the basis that since bananas have a lot of starch in them, they have the ability to induce relaxation and feelings of calm safety in people that eat them. These feelings are said to be conducive to the fat burning prowess of the body and that is what makes the whole system work. Therefore, it does appear as though The Morning Banana Diet has the biological success potential. The other advantage of course is that The Morning Banana Diet is extremely easy to follow. Anyone can easily consume a banana and a glass of water when they wake up in the morning and avoid one particular junk food throughout the rest of the day. With a little bit of prioritization, eating dinner before 8 and going to bed before midnight are also possible and when these easy points are added to the extremely laissez-faire attitude The Morning Banana Diet has towards exercise, it is quite easy to see that this is one of the easiest diets around to follow. If you can't stick to The Morning Banana Diet, chances are very good you can't stick to any diet; it is just that easy to follow.
ReceptionSo far, the reception of the diet has been very positive. It was initially devised by a pharmacist working in Japan for her husband and when the husband tried it, he had amazingly positive results. He endorsed the diet based on the low-stress approach it took to dieting and ever since then it is a diet that has been attempted and approved by many celebrities and other public figures. Once that happened, attitude to this diet exploded in the marketplace, with people all over the world clamoring for bananas so that they could make these things work. It has become especially successful in Japan where the trend started. It has in fact become so successful in Japan that bananas have actually fallen into short supply in the country with importers like Dole struggling to keep up with the demand for bananas that currently exists there.
ConclusionThere is no doubt that The Morning Banana Diet has the potential to work. There is also no doubt that it is a diet that is extremely easy to follow. However, do not let these two facts sidetrack you from the more important fact that a diet is only as good as the person that uses it. If you start cheating on the sweets and regularly go to sleep after midnight when you are on this diet, do not be surprised if it does nothing for you. If you want to seriously try The Morning Banana Diet out, make sure you give it a fair chance by actually following the diet and all four of the supplementary rules that were mentioned above.

1. more than that Written by gman, on 19-01-2009 12:50 No because there is plenty of hidden sugar/carbs in normal meals. I have not tried it but it does seem to work from all the reading we have done on it. |
