The banana diet is a a thing customers in my Skinny Asian Diet program are wondering about recently and I want to take some time to express why it’s not the right choice for the majority of people trying to lose weight. Like many things in life, there are superior options than extreme diets that concentrate too much on an individual food. Fortunately Asian women get slim and burn fat easily, even after giving birth, and do it in a wholesome way that anyone can learn!
The Banana Weight Loss Plan – Why It Fails To Work
The foundation of the banana diets that are being marketed online right now are centered around the thought that by substituting a meal, or even two meals, with bananas, will allow you to eat pretty much 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 luring us with the enjoyment of eating whatever we feel like as long as we eat a few “bananas”, or “cookies”, or “chocolate-flavored tablets”, or any other range of things I’ve seen offered 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 problem we’re fighting, isn’t going to make us drop a single pound. To get long-lasting permanent weight loss we have to modify the way we look at food…not replacing an entire meal for a gimmick, but actually learning to make meals for ourselves that are tasty, filling, and help our bodies reduce weight quickly.
Other weaknesses with most of the banana diets center around the effect of having too much sugar absorption 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 Is A Better Way…
Asian women have been skinny 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 each and every meal to take in the greater part of their calories from a protein-based base. 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 totally scrumptious.
Protein functions for weight loss because it kicks our metabolism up a level because it’s more difficult for our digestive tract to process. This is beneficial 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.
Our body also has a difficult time turning protein into fat tissue, even when we overeat a bit at a single meal. For instance, if you take in 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 supply of protein in at every single meal and watch your metabolic process take off! You’ll feel more full, for a lengthier period of time, just from that single change alone.
