    Bananas all day long got to burn lots of calories. The bigger the better.

    I'm fairly certain I would vomit if I ate bananas in the morning.

    Why?? I often have one chopped up in my bowl of cereal for breakfast.

    I'm with @MotherOfSharpei

    Bananas (anything which tastes even remotely like bananas actually) make me throw up. It's psychological in my case. I've got a bit of a banana trauma that I can't seem to get past. Weird how the brain works sometimes.

    So this diet would actually work for me... eat and regurgitate almost immediately and lose my appetite for the rest of the day so that the only meal I'll eat would be dinner and even that would be on the light side.

    I know this cause I try at regular intervals. Bananas would be a brillant 'grab and go' breakfast for me with a nice micronutrient profile. I'm rather annoyed at that reaction since I can't seem to control it. *shrugs* but that's life.

    The premise is that the bananas and warm water are supposed to give your insides time to relax, if they can't relax, you gain weight and potentially get diseases that could cause blindness or death.

    No, no, no.

    It's not "hosted" on webmd, it's reviewed by webmd. They say this: "The Morning Banana Diet will probably work simply because you’ll eat less. There is nothing, though, about a morning banana that specifically promotes weight loss." Webmd then goes on to point out that some other things recommended by the diet like stopping eating by 8 p.m. may reduce your calorie consumption and that may result in weight loss. Other things recommended like increasing exercise and getting a good night's sleep are also conducive to weight loss but only with a calorie deficit.

    Webmd simply reviews diets in an A-Z list giving the pros and cons of them. Just because it is listed there does not mean it is recommended.

    Someday I'd like to meet the people who make these things up. They must really be a hoot.

    Is that a banana in your morning or are you just happy to see me?

    I mean, yay potassium... But, I don't think this would do anything spectacular in the long run.

    It would be spectacular for companies that sell bananas.

    Ok seriously after seeing all these silly diet threads.. I have to ask: why are you even on My Fitness Pal, a calorie counting app which allows any type of food as long as it fits calorie goals? Do you really think anyone on here would be interested in doing a diet which only includes one food group or involves only eatinf cabbage soup or whatever it is, when they understand the science of losing weight? It makes me wonder if people even understand what MFP is. People like this need to go to fad diets.com ok rant over :#:D

    Interchange of ideas and learning.

    Nothing wrong with that.
