The Banana Apple Diet

The banana apple diet began in spring 2006. The diet fundamentals are replacing servings from meats/tree nuts with a serving of banana and apple. A banana has 100 calories with low grams of fat and the apple has 90 calories for a medium sized apple.

Replace meats and tree nuts with a banana and apple will lower fat and calorie intake making it possible to lose 3-4 lbs a week. Another aspect of this diet is replace all 1%, 2%, and whole milk with fat free milk. No chocolate mixes or syrups. You can still have grains, vegetables, fruits, dairy, and limited fat as long as the meats and tree nuts are replaced.

Apple juice from concentrate is another alternative to the high calorie drinks. All concentrate juices are acceptable for this diet. This diet helps build up the immune system also from the cold and flu. It is a suitable diet for the whole year but is most popular in the summer and fall.

The banana provides health benefits in potassium, protein, and carbohydrates. A banana also has high vitamin A & E. It also binds up waste in your colon. Do not eat too many banana's in a short time or you might experience constipation which is a common side effect of this diet. It is another hard diet to stick to because the fruits get tiring very fast.

To make the best out this diet there are a few ways to make it as delicious as possible. Adding cut up apple and banana in cereal is a popular breakfast option. Using peanut butter sparingly on the banana and apple is a good idea for a snack. As peanuts are not a tree nut so it still follows the diet.

Good luck to all of you trying the diet and good luck with future weight loss.
