Morning Banana Diet – Japan’s Craze
The Morning Banana Diet is a rather new diet craze thats going on in Japan. The diet was created in Osaka, by a pharmacist named Sumiko Watanabe who wanted her husband to lose weight and increase his metabolism.
The Morning Banana Diet which is very easy to follow goes like this:
1. Have one or more bananas in the morning for breakfast with room temperature water.
2. For lunch you can have anything
3. Eat dinner before 8pm and you can also have anything.
4. You can have a snack in between lunch and dinner but no dessert after meals and you must to go to bed before midnight.
Simple enough to follow.
Sumiko’s husband lost an amazing 37 lbs using the Morning Banana Diet and popularized it on a large Japanese social network.
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.

Hi, I’ve found a blog where many people are trying this banana diet, I’ve added my opinion too in their board.
I’ve tried the diet for several weeks (this is the 2nd month) and I have to say that it works for me.
By the way, many others have different opinions (this is where the article is http://www.nanoda.com/en/japanese-cooking/asa-banana–the-morning-banana-the-new-diet-from-japan.html )
Btw, I think that the most important thing is to avoid sweets, even if the diet does not says it. In the first month I’ve eat a good amount of sweets, and results were not so great. So I’ve tried reducing them and now I’ve lost more than 2Kg in a month
I would be glad to share my experience with everyone is trying the diet. You can write me at elene97 at yahoo.com
