The New Banana Diet

http://bit.ly/thebananadiet The Banana Diet was actually created by a top-notch pharmacist in Japan who wanted to help her 31 year old fiance lose 37 lbs of fat. Being from the West, at first I thought “This can’t possibly work!”, but then I started doing a little research and I found out just how amazing a banana is!

Here are just a couple of banana facts: * Bananas contain a large amount of an insoluble carbohydrates called resistant starch. Resistant starch, taken in the right way at the right time, has been credited with initiating fat burning and melting away excess body fat

* Bananas contain enzymes that, when taken at specific times, will speed up digestion and ramp up your metabolism to levels you won’t believe

* Bananas can reduce blood pressure, give you healthy skin and hair, and are naturally heart healthy

* Bananas are one of the only fruits that you can take with an ulcer. They actually can soothe your stomach and reduce heartburn.

* While the calorie content in bananas is only 95, they contain just 0.5g fat and provide a huge wealth of additional benefits

Just read about it today and I wonder if anyone has had any success on it?

I read about the morning banana diet too & was shocked. I have been inadvertantly following this diet for years & it has not worked! Seriously, how can it possibly work with just a banana for breakfast, then anything you want for lunch and dinner. The good part is no dessert & in bed before midnight. THOSE are the things that will help you lose weight (but not a ton).

Japan Went Bananas For a New Diet

Banana sales have skyrocketed in Japan this summer as many are itching to try the latest fad in dieting- a Morning Banana Diet. According to leaders of Dole Japan, a leading banana importer, over the past four months, the increase in demand for bananas has been a cause raise their imports by 25 percent.

Hiromi Ohtaki, a representative for Dole Japan noted that sales for bananas traditionally will drop over the summer months, but this year, despite the increase in imports, supplies are struggling to meet the demand and Japan is struggling to cope.

The Morning Banana Diet, made popular by Sumiko Watanabe, a pharmacist in Osaka, consists of a simplistic schedule whereby the dieter eats only one or more bananas for breakfast with a glass of room temperature water. Then he or she can eat anything for lunch and dinner must be consumed by 8pm.

The Dieter must not eat dessert and all meals must be consumed by 12 midnight. Mrs. Watanabe designed the diet to increase the metabolism of her overweight husband, who, in due course lost over 37 pounds and then introduced the diet on to one of Japans largest social networks called Mixi, where it gained popularity. The diet has since become even more popular through endorsements by local celebrities.

Chocolate Banana Nut Diet Bars

Regardless of which low carb bar you’ve used in the past, it’s time for a change. A delicious, mouth-watering change. The Doctor’s CarbRite Diet Bars have been taking the country by storm.

Dieters everywhere are switching to our bars every day and regretting that they didn’t switch earlier. Maybe you’re still in the dark. Perhaps you’ve been eating your bar for so long, you don’t even know what a great bar should taste like. Does it even exist? Absolutely. Most people who try the bar are skeptical at first.

After they’ve had it, they can’t imagine how a low carb bar could taste so good. So good that these bars have received some of the highest marks from independent low carb web sites. So good that real people like yourself have compared it to candy bars. Listen to what Diana Cox had to say: “I just purchased some of your Doctor’s CarbRite Diet Bars and they’re the absolute best I’ve ever tasted!

I’m particular about the ingredients in nutrition bars as well as the carb content. The S’mores tasted just like a Milky Way bar!” While taste is the real story behind the Doctor’s success, there’s a couple of other things you should know.

For starters, every Doctor’s CarbRite Bar we make is sugar-free and lab certified gluten-free. Better yet, unlike the competition, our bars are completely free of all artificial sweeteners. This includes aspartame (Nutrasweet), sucralose (Splenda), acesulfame potassium, and saccharin.

Next, each bar contains absolutely no hydrogenated oils or trans-fats, making it a very healthful choice.

Finally, each of our bars are manufactured by us and no one elseunlike the majority of the low carb bars out there. Have you ever wondered why many of our competitors’ bars taste alikethe same cardboard texture, the same sour taste?

It’s because our competition relies on two or three major contract manufacturers to make their bars for them. We exclusively make our own.

Everyone agrees on the importance of eating more fruits and vegetables, but not enough people are following this important advice. Dietary experts recommend that every person should eat at least five servings of fruits and vegetables every day. Increasing your consumption of fruits and vegetables is one of the easiest changes you can make to increase your level of health, lose weight and gain fitness.

The latest food guidelines recommend that adults eat from five to nine servings of fruits and vegetables every day. While that may seem like a lot, it is an important goal to strive for, and a very reachable one.

A serving of a fruit or vegetable is equal to:

1.  1 medium sized vegetable or fruit (such as an apple, orange or banana)
2.  2 small fruits (such as kiwi fruit or plums)
3.  ½ cup of fresh, frozen or canned fruits or vegetables
4.  ½ cup of 100% fruit juice
5.  ¼ cup of dried fruit
6.  1 cup of green salad

Study after study has shown that a diet rich in fruits and vegetables lowers the risk of certain cancers, heart disease and other chronic diseases and conditions. One reason for the recommendation that everyone increase their consumption of fruits and vegetables is that many of these foods have been shown to have strong antioxidant qualities.

Many fruits and vegetables have high amounts of many antioxidant vitamins, including vitamin A, vitamin E and vitamin C. In addition to their importance as source of vitamins and minerals, fruits and vegetables also provide essential dietary fiber.

Many people do not realize, that in addition to vitamin C, oranges, grapefruits and other citrus fruits also contain significant amounts of fiber. Fiber plays an important role in digestion, and it is thought to have protective qualities against heart disease and some forms of cancer. In addition, fiber is thought to have the ability to lower high levels of cholesterol in the blood.

Another great feature of fruits and vegetables, especially to those watching their weight, is the high nutrition, low fat, and low calorie nature of these foods. Fruits and vegetables contain very low levels of fats, and a diet low in fat can be quite effective for long-term weight loss. In addition, fruits and vegetables contain no cholesterol, and they are lower in calories than many other types of foods.

Fruits and vegetables have a lot of advantages besides just their nutritional importance. For one thing, they taste great and add a great deal of variety to everyday meals. Fruits and vegetables come in such a wide variety of colors, textures and flavors that they can be used in virtually every meal. Those seeking to maximize their consumption of fruits and vegetables should get into the habit of using fruits in salads, as toppings and as garnishes.

No matter what your reason for following a healthy diet, we believe you will find that eating more fruits and vegetables is a delicious, as well as a nutritious, way to get the vitamins and minerals you need every day.

I hope that reading the above information was both enjoyable and educational for you. When word gets around about your command of healthy diet facts, others who need to know about fruits and vegetables will start to actively seek you out.

In the past, people did not know and accept vegetarian food. The concept of vegetarian diet looks as if odd to most people. Then, the outspoken vegetarians and vegetarian advocacy groups push over back the condition. Currently, Vegetarian food is widely obtainable, even in fast food restaurants.

Vegetarian food in fact does not have to be the “health food” that many diners try to evade. You need to know that vegetarian versions exist of almost every well-loved food – even haggis has a vegetarian version! It is good news, isn’t it? It’s just a matter of finding and adapting yourself to the new flavor of the vegetarian food.

Different Types of Food for Different Types of Vegetarians

The sorts of vegetarian food are varied. However, the most basic (and most nutritious) is whole, unprocessed fruits (like banana), vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and beans. These are among the healthiest foods in the earth and your body will prosper when your diet is based on them. There are also meat replacements, or vegetarian food stuff that is supposed to be a cruelty-free substitute to eating meat.

Admittedly, vegetarian food that is meant to substitute for meat often tastes far different than the original meat. Nevertheless, the trick to learning to love them is to enjoy them for what they are rather than expecting them to taste closely like meat. It’s really impossible to make a vegetable-based food taste closely like a meat-based food. Therefore if you find yourself disappointed by meat substitutes just try to bear in mind the motives that you want vegetarian in the first place.

Vegetarian food can also suggest you the possibility to try new foods and new combinations that you never would have considered of prior to going vegetarian. Vegetables and grains will take on a totally new quality to you when you eliminate meat of your diet. A mushroom will seem almost meaty, and grains like quinoa will be an excellent source of protein. One of the greatest things about vegetarian food is that it let you to become more experimental. Also, to experience foods those are good for your taste buds and the rest of your body.

Finding Vegetarian Food When Eating Out

It’s getting easier every year to find quality vegetarian food when you’re eating a meal away from your home. Fast food restaurants provide bean burgers and soy burgers. Nearly every restaurant will provide salads without meat; some restaurants may even be willing to make a special meal for you if you just ask.

Don’t forget about the great vegetarian restaurants which can be found all around the world! These fine establishments provide to the vegetarian and vegan population by preparing and serving gourmet vegetarian meals.

Currently, finding vegetarian food which is not “rabbit food” is easier than before. Hopefully, we’ll get more and more food enterprises offering vegetarian choices sometimes.
