Heads up, woman! ( and men who diets )
When you come to dieting, a lot of people stop eating and drinks a lot of water. Well, in a way it helps you to flush your toxic system but most of the time you get bloated full with water (well, which type of water you are drinking actually – that’s another story).
So also goes for protein diet, with no carbs allowed and others, fruit was their favorite choice.
“But not every fruit brings down your pounds…” that was what my nutritionist used to say to me. So, what sort of fruit that is nice and helps you to shed off those stubborn pounds without shedding off your own muscles first?
Shedding muscles? Ah… yes. If you do not diet well enough, you are not loosing fat, but you are loosing protein in your body, which takes out from your muscle tissues. Scary, isn’t it?
So what does bananas have to say?
Though to many bananas are “fattening” but do notice that models tends to love them. Bananas doesn’t hold much calories, but they do hold enough nutrients for certain diet purpose and women loves them because of it’s content of potassium (not to mention Vitamin B, C, iron, protein – yes! protein! With the combination of milk (low hat milk if you insist) you get a balance diet that can help you to keep it up and going at least a couple of hours.
Ah but then, there are some cautions that you need to know more about bananas.
Those who are going on a banana diet, you need to know that raw banana contains 20 – 25% of starch; which is bad for you because it is creating fat instead of helping you. An average banana contains 108 calories each and having 2 a meal is more than you need. Adding a small glass of milk will help balancing your meal with calcium that most modern women needs. (Lets face it, we aren’t as strong as our grandmas when they were younger)
There will soon be an article out telling you more about the beauty of bananas and what it can help you in certain health complications.
