The Banana Diet Program – Why It Will Not Work
The banana diet is an a thing customers in my Skinny Asian Diet program are asking about recently and I want to take some time to express why it’s not the correct choice for the vast majority of people trying to shed weight. Like most things in life, there are better options than extreme diets that concentrate too much on just one food. Fortunately Asian women get lean and burn fat easily, even after giving birth, and do it in a healthy way that anyone can learn!
The Banana Diet Program – Why It Fails To Work
The basis of the banana diets that are being marketed online right now are based around the thought that by substituting a meal, or even two meals, with bananas, will allow you to eat virtually any other food you want the rest of the day and be able to reduce weight.
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 introduced through 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 dilemma we’re struggling with, isn’t going to make us shed a single pound. To get long-lasting permanent weight loss we have to change the way we look at food…not substituting an entire meal for a gimmick, but actually understanding how to make meals for ourselves that are delightful, filling, and help our bodies shed pounds quickly.
Other flaws with most of the banana diets center around the effect of having too much sugar intake on a daily basis (bananas taste good because they’re largely a sweet sugar in composition), and building up insulin resistance, which can lead to health problems later in life.
There’s A Better Strategy…
Asian gals have been slim 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 a proven way is by making a priority at each and every meal to consume the largest part of their calories from a protein-based source. Everything from chicken (skinless), tofu, fish, eggs, and lean meat is an excellent source of protein for meals, and with a little seasoning can be absolutely delightful.
Protein works for fat loss because it kicks our metabolic rate up a notch because it’s tougher for our gastrointestinal system to process. This is very good for us, it’s something we’re built 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 tough time turning protein into fat build up, even when we overeat a bit at a solitary meal. As an example, if you take in 600 calories for lunch, you are twice as likely to add pounds if those calories came from a carbohydrate-based food versus a protein-based food.
Be sure you focus on getting a lean supply of protein in at every single meal and watch your metabolism take off! You’ll feel more full, for a lengthier time period, just from that single shift alone.
