Japan’s most popular diet, invented on the Mixi internet service and published in books in early 2008. In early autumn 2008 the banana diet expoded into the mainstream after many magazines, mooks, and television shows covered it.
A mid-September prime time television appearance by opera singer and Morning Banana Dieter iko Mori (of “The Suite Life of Zack and Cody” fame) resulted in a nationwide banana shortage in Japan lasting several weeks. Morning Banana Diet …

Since you are …
Since you are eating the bananas first thing in the morning, those calories won’t be there by the time the end of the day comes around. They are not bad calories and it is fruit so there is the added benefit. I think the most bananas to eat in the morning is 2. Too many bananas = too much potassium which could = cramps. Depends on the size of the bananas.
I am doing this diet and loosing weight from it. This diet is perfect for people who don’t like to eat breakfast or eating on the run.

this is the cheapest way to lose weight and at the same time it’s healthy. I’m an amateur boxer and banana diet is what I always do to meet the weigh-in requirement.

i dun c how this diet works if there is no exercise required and also since ur consuming such a large quantity of calories too. . . bananas hv da highest calorie content in them.
i read some ppl’s blog, saying that u should eat 2-4 bananas then wateva u want for lunch & dina and snacks too. . . dat honestly sounds like a fad to me~

I’m not sure how this is a diet…unless Japanese women just have really really big breakfasts….

I tried to post a response with links, but YouTube ate it.
It’s Emi Nakao. There are a couple of videos here on YouTube of her singing it in her later years, and there is an audio only video of her singing the whole song here.
There’s also a video of Connie Francis singing it in Japanese here.
And there are a bunch of videos of other Japanese singing it.
Search for “中尾ミエ” and “可愛いベイビー” (her name and the song’s name).

Even though it works i still don’t think that it’s a good idea by having a banana and water for breakfast?! your body needs more than that to start a day. Regular exercises and healthy diet is the way.

It’s maybe because your metabolism will have slowed down as you weren’t eating as much.
But maybe also because you were just used to it or something…
Anyway, tomorrow I’m going to buy bananas & try this!
