Morning Banana Diet Rules — Morning Banana Diet. Every diet has rules. If a diet works for you, it’s simply because the rules have had the effect of making you eat less food (nothwithstanding whatever magical claims a diet may make). Diet rules generally do this by making eating a little harder or less convenient, through restricting when or what you can eat. Throw in a little “scientific theory” for motivation, and you have a diet. And remember, no diet works for everybody. So what are the Morning Banana Diet rules? Here’s a synopsis collected from various sources: If you are a health reporter, dietitian or blogger intending to write about the diet, please read this page carefully and also check out this blog post before you write a kneejerk “just another fad diet” article. Thanks! Eat a banana for breakfast. You can eat more than one, and in fact the inventor of the diet often ate four (smallish Philippines) bananas in the morning, but don’t stuff yourself to the point of fullness or discomfort. Eat only raw, uncooked, unfrozen bananas. Other fruit may be substituted. If other fruit is substituted, some variants require it be restricted to one type of fruit per meal. If you are still hungry 1. Japanese inventor of the original Asa Banana Diet sometimes ate a rice ball two and a half hours later, about 2. Morning Banana forum members have suggested oatmeal, although it’s not as portable as a rice ball). Eat normally for lunch and dinner. Dinner must be eaten by 8 p. But in practice dieters report on Mixi that they try to cut the amount of rice they eat and find substitutions for fried foods. As with many diets, the mere fact you have decided to go on a diet tends to make you more aware of what and how much you are are eating and how healthy it is. The diet avoids strict food rules to prevent a sense of deprivation. However, you should not eat a dessert with dinner or any of your meals; you’ll need to satisfy your sweet tooth during a snack, but we’ll get to that later. At all meals you should eat only until you’re satisfied but not full or stuffed. The Japanese have a proverb, Hara hachibu ni isha irazu, “A stomach eight- tenths full needs no doctor.” American dietitians define this level of fullness or satiety as a 7 on a 1- to- 1. Drink only water. The only beverage allowed at most meals is water, preferably mineral or filtered. Sugar was a luxury in Europe until the 18th century, when it became more widely available. It then became popular and by the 19th century, sugar came to be considered. Recipe: Old-School Sour Cream Banana Bread. Summary: The best classic, simple banana bread with no butter (sour cream instead!). Let the bananas get black skinned for. 2 Water, Water, Water The water must be at room temperature, not chilled or hot. The water should be drunk in small sips and not used to wash down food. There is no quota of water to drink, and you should not drink it in excess. Outside of meals non- caloric beverages like tea, coffee, and diet soda are generally allowed but somewhat frowned upon, and in general water is encouraged as much as possible; frequent consumption of milk products is discouraged. On social occasions you may drink beer or wine. Eat your food mindfully. Chew your banana and other food thorouoghly and be mindful of its taste. You may eat an afternoon snack. A sweet snack of chocolate, cookies, or the like is allowed at about 3 p. Ice cream, a donut, or potato chips are not recommended. Some substitute fresh fruit for their snack, but if you want sweets you should not deny yourself. Some Japanese who like salty snacks eat salted konbu (seaweed) snacks and some Japanese who are very hungry in the afternoon substitute a filling, fist- sized rice ball for sweets. A good alternative if a salty or more filling snack is needed is popcorn according to Morning Banana forum members, but watch out for excessive fat content. If you are hungry after dinner, you may have a second snack of fresh fruit, but this should not be a habit. Early to bed. Go to bed by midnight. If you can manage to go to bed earlier, all the better. Try to aim for a four- hour period between your last meal or snack and bedtime (which is why 8: 0.

It seems like everywhere you look, there is new information out about how bad sugar really is for you. And yet it’s in EVERYTHING these days. Even clean eaters must watch their intake of natural sugars. Something I personally struggle with all the time. Few things can addict us in such a way and still allow us to function for years on end before showing any real, ill health effects. It’s sweet, it’s comforting, and it’s widely accepted as a normal part of life. Even for clean eaters, it’s easy to slide down that slippery slope sometimes. An extra bit of honey in your coffee, a little extra maple syrup on your protein waffles or just one extra clean cookie because they taste. I know, it’s happened to me numerous times and I don’t even realize it’s happened until I notice I’m seeking out something sweet because I’m craving it. Not good. So in an effort to clean up my clean eating plan, I’m hosting another No Sugar Challenge. Will you join me? NOTE: If you want to join the challenge, bookmark THIS page now! WHEN?

A PEP TALK TO GET YOU IN DA MOODHERE’S ALL THE INFO YOU NEEDThis is everything you will need to participate in the No Sugar Challenge. PLEASE NOTE: While stevia is not sugar, it is also not allowed on this challenge as is the case with any sugar substitutes, including things like Xylitol. The idea here is to get you past the NEED for something sweet. I’ve seen the elite implementation of all three in working with professional athletes. In this post, we’ll explore what I refer to as the “slow- carb diet”. In the last six weeks, I have cut from about 1. This is the only diet besides the rather extreme Cyclical Ketogenic Diet (CKD) that has produced veins across my abdomen, which is the last place I lose fat (damn you, Scandinavian genetics). Here are the four simple rules I followed. The following foods are thus prohibited, except for within 1. If you avoid eating anything white, you’ll be safe. Rule #2: Eat the same few meals over and over again. The most successful dieters, regardless of whether their goal is muscle gain or fat loss, eat the same few meals over and over again. Mix and match, constructing each meal with one from each of the three following groups: Proteins: Egg whites with one whole egg for flavor. Chicken breast or thigh. Grass- fed organic beef. Pork. Legumes: Lentils. Black beans. Pinto beans. Vegetables: Spinach. Asparagus. Peas. Mixed vegetables. Eat as much as you like of the above food items. Just remember: keep it simple. Pick three or four meals and repeat them. Almost all restaurants can give you a salad or vegetables in place of french fries or potatoes. Surprisingly, I have found Mexican food, swapping out rice for vegetables, to be one of the cuisines most conducive to the “slow carb” diet. Most people who go on “low” carbohydrate diets complain of low energy and quit, not because such diets can’t work, but because they consume insufficient calories. A 1/2 cup of rice is 3. Vegetables are not calorically dense, so it is critical that you add legumes for caloric load. Some athletes eat 6- 8x per day to break up caloric load and avoid fat gain. I think this is ridiculously inconvenient. I eat 4x per day: 1. Discovery Channel before bed. Here are some of my meals that recur again and again: Scrambled Eggology pourable egg whites with one whole egg, black beans, and microwaved mixed vegetables. Grass- fed organic beef, pinto beans, mixed vegetables, and extra guacamole (Mexican restaurant)Grass- fed organic beef (from Trader Joe’s), lentils, and mixed vegetables. Rule #3: Don’t drink calories. Drink massive quantities of water and as much unsweetened iced tea, tea, diet sodas, coffee (without white cream), or other no- calorie/low- calorie beverages as you like. Do not drink milk, normal soft drinks, or fruit juice. I’m a wine fanatic and have at least one glass of wine each evening, which I believe actually aids sports recovery and fat- loss. Recent research into resveratrol supports this. Rule #4: Take one day off per week. I recommend Saturdays as your “Dieters Gone Wild” day. I am allowed to eat whatever I want on Saturdays, and I go out of my way to eat ice cream, Snickers, Take 5, and all of my other vices in excess. I make myself a little sick and don’t want to look at any of it for the rest of the week. Paradoxically, dramatically spiking caloric intake in this way once per week increases fat loss by ensuring that your metabolic rate (thyroid function, etc.) doesn’t downregulate from extended caloric restriction. That’s right: eating pure crap can help you lose fat. Welcome to Utopia.###If you enjoyed this post, check out my latest book, The 4- Hour Body, #1 New York Times and #1 Amazon bestseller.
