Dangers of the Morning Banana Diet

Like all fad diets you can actually lose weight but not without paying a price. There are always hidden dangers to diets like the Morning Banana Diet.

A Japanese Professor at the Niigata University School of Medicine, Masahiko Okada pulled the Morning Banana diet apart.

In any diet you need three essential nutrients daily for the human body to function. Carbohydrates, fat and protein need to be balanced with a daily calorie intake. This is the golden rule of dieting.

Once you understand how dieting works you will see that diets such as the Morning Banana diet are actually no good as a long term weight loss regiment.
