The banana diet is a something people are asking about lately and I want to take some time to explain why it's not the right choice for the majority of people trying to lose weight. Like most things in life, there are better options than extreme diets that focus too much on a single food. Luckily Asian women get thin and burn fat easily, even after giving birth, and do it in a healthy way that anyone can learn!
The Banana Diet - Why it Doesn't Work
The foundation of the banana diets that are being promoted online right now are based around the thought that by substituting a meal, or even two meals, with bananas, will allow you to eat just about any other food you like the rest of the day and be able to burn fat.
This thinking is flawed from the start, and it's common in fad diets to market to us by tempting us with the pleasure of eating whatever we feel like as long as we eat a few "bananas", or "cookies", or "chocolate-flavored tablets", or any other number of things I've seen presented over the years.
In reality eating even just two bananas a day, and then following it with the same meals that got us to the overweight problem we're battling, isn't going to make us lose a single pound. To get long-lasting permanent weight loss we have to change the way we think about food...not substituting an entire meal for a gimmick, but actually learning to make meals for ourselves that are delicious, filling, and help our bodies lose weight quickly.
Other flaws with most of the banana diets revolve around the impact of having too much sugar intake on a daily basis (bananas taste good because they're mainly a sweet sugar in composition), and building up insulin resistance, which can lead to health problems later in life.
There's a Better Way...
Asian women have been thin for thousands of years, and continue to be even in this world of global McDonalds, Pizza Huts, and Pepsi. How do they do it?
Well one way is through making a priority at every meal to take in the bulk of their calories from a protein-based source. Everything from chicken (skinless), tofu, fish, eggs, and lean meat is a great source of protein for meals, and with a little seasoning can be absolutely delicious.
Protein works for weight loss because it kicks our metabolism up a notch because it's harder for our digestive system to process. This is good for us, it's something we're designed to handle, but instead we fill our systems with sugars and carbohydrates from man-made breads and pasta, none of which is difficult for the body to digest.
The body also has a hard time turning protein into fat deposits, even when we overeat a bit at a single meal. As an example, if you eat 600 calories for lunch, you are twice as likely to gain weight if those calories came from a carbohydrate-based food versus a protein-based food.
Be sure to focus on getting a lean source of protein in at every single meal and watch your metabolism take off! You'll feel more full, for a longer period of time, just from that single shift alone.
What If You Just Can't Lose Weight Ever?
