The key rule of the banana diet is to eat one banana for breakfast along with one or two glasses of lukewarm water. If this is not enough for you, you can eat two or even three bananas (there should always be a glass of water with it), but no more than four. Breakfast is the only meal where deviations are allowed.
Other meals should be smaller, lighter and more frequent. Do not stick to established patterns (lunch, dinner). There can be 5 or more meals (every 2 hours). It is important to drink water all the time, but you can indulge yourself with a cup of unsweetened coffee or tea.
Choose your main meal, which should be at the same time throughout the diet. Then you can have "lunch" according to this recipe:
- 2 tablespoons of flax seeds
- 150 grams of blueberries
- 1 banana
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger (fresh is best)
- 1 handful of spinach
- 1 glass of water
If you still can't do without treats, you can have some dark chocolate (as many grams as you weigh), but only before 3 p.m.
The last banana meal should be before 8 p.m., although it is ideal not to eat anything after 6 p.m.
If you feel too hungry after a few days of the diet, eat a handful of fresh fruit, but only as an exception. Don't make a habit of it.
Insist on a strict banana regimen for at least 7 days, but never more than 12 days. Then you must finish the diet so that the body can recover.
