Sure, it is common sense, but its wrapped up nicely with the word "diet", plus i think the banana has a lot of fiber and something to do with the rapid weight loss. Also, they suggest you keep a journal, so i blog online so i can get support and help other people too. In fact, i am eating a banana right now, Yummy!

Room temperature plain water contains 0 calories. A 90 calorie breakfast is way less than the average calorie breakfast eaten. If you take in less calories, of course you will lose weight! 1 banana contains 90 calories. Room temperature plain water contains 0 calories.

And banana fiber bulks up in your stomach, so you feel full for longer. The healthy way to do the banana diet makes sense and includes exercise.

I wish this worked b/c I would definitely be skinnier if it did. What amazes me though is that people actually believe it. With ALL of that information out there about how to properly lose weight, people still fall for something as stupid as this. How ridiculous.

I pretty much have done this diet since i was at school without even knowing it was a diet. It was just quicker and more convenient than making a proper breakfast. you can just pick up a banana out of the fruit bowl and have it on your way to work, and a bottle of tap water. I have a BMI of 24.9, which puts me on the flabbier side of "normal". It has not turned me into a weak dessicated skeleton of a man, as it surely should have by now, if this diet was anything other than bull crap. This is ridiculous.

A banana for breakfast, a supersized biggy McWopper with extra fries, quart sugary soda pop, and icecream with gummy bear topping for lunch, then a good general tso chicken / pu pu platter combo for dinner.... and I'm supposed to loose weight? Sign me in!!!! More seriously, I'm on a diet right now : it involves veggies, normal size balanced meals and... hunger! Banana diet is BS. Mmm..
