I love Banana Diet

I read an article"Banana Diet"on http://www.everydiet.org/diet/banana-diet

In March, 2008 there was a Japanese social network site “MIXI” introducing the morning banana diet which was created by Hitoshi Watanabe; the morning banana diet becomes popular worldwide. It is very easy to practice the morning banana diet: eating bananas and drinking room temperature water for breakfast. You can lose weights, no matter what you eat and drink the rest of day.

Bananas are said to be good for digestion; moreover, they can speed up bodies’ metabolism. Another reason is bananas contain rich fiber which can make people feel full and prevent certain carbohydrate to be absorbed. But it would be better if dieters eat their suppers before eight PM and avoid dessert; a piece of fruit is acceptable. Furthermore, dieters should go to bed before midnight every night.

In this article it also provides Sample Diet Plan, Excise Recommendations, Costs and Expenses and Pros and Cons. If you are interested, you can visit this website.

According my own experience, the morning banana diet really works. I have practiced the morning banana diet for one and half years. I eat a banana which is raw: it is not cooked or frozen; I drink 600cc room temperature water; I exercise three times a week, and I also sleep before 11:30. As a result, I have already lost over 20 kilograms. But I wonder about what the author said you may eat and drink as you like in the article. I pay lots of attention to the food I ate. I do not have carbohydrate food; I do not eat candies; I drink water only─ 2000cc a day, but tell the truth, I will let myself relax to enjoy some junk food occasionally. Still I think it’d better to be careful if you want to lose weights, even having banana diet.
