The morning banana diet is easy to follow, it is cheap and most important it does not require you to count calories or dispose of a certain food.
Diet rules
You should eat one banana for breakfast, but if one is not enough, eat more just try not to overeat. Fresh bananas should be consumed.
Drink one glass of water at a room temperature with the banana. If you drink coffee in the morning, wait at least 20 minutes after breakfast.
For lunch and dinner eat as you usually do. You should not limit your calories or avoid certain foods, however if you want the diet to be efficient, at least try not to eat too much fatty foods. The rule of this diet is to eat until you feel 80% full, and be careful not to overeat.
Note: Avoid eating dessert right after meals. You can consume sweet snacks around 15 pm, such as a few pieces of chocolate or a small cookie.
The best time to eat dinner is 6pm, however if it is too early for you, try not to eat dinner after 8pm.
It is very important to go to bed before midnight.

This diet should be followed for at least 2 weeks. Many people who have tried it said that they don’t really feel like they are on a diet, so if this is the case for you, you can follow it even more than 2 weeks.
