Add cottage cheese
We already know a lot about the beneficial properties of bananas and the banana diet. Now I would like to offer you one more option. This is a diet based on a combination of bananas and cottage cheese.
We all know that cottage cheese is rich in calcium, which helps restore cartilage and bone tissue. But many other healing properties of this product are also known. Cottage cheese is perfectly absorbed, since there is no fiber in it. It lowers cholesterol in the body, is good for the nervous system, heart and performs hematopoietic function. Cottage cheese is often included in various diets to combat stomach ulcers and duodenal ulcers, in case of chronic gastritis, intestinal diseases, and pancreatitis.
Curd banana diet can last from four days to a week, no more. Within a week you can lose 3-4 kilograms. After a couple of months, you can reuse this scheme if you want to remove excess weight. It is very nutritious and easy to tolerate.
The essence of the diet is as follows. It is necessary to alternate products on even and odd days. On even days - cottage cheese with fruits, and on odd days - bananas with protein products. You should eat three times a day, and have dinner no later than 18:00. In addition, you can drink tea, water, fruit drinks in unlimited quantities - as much as you want. The diet should begin with an even day (cottage cheese). You should drink a glass of water with the juice of one lemon on an empty stomach. Sweet and sour fruits are also recommended.
An example menu may be as follows:
Curd days:
- breakfast - cottage cheese, 1 apple or pear;
- lunch - cottage cheese, 1 peach or melon;
- dinner - cottage cheese, 1 orange or grapefruit.
Banana days:
- breakfast - banana and boiled egg;
- lunch - banana, 200 g of boiled lean meat;
- dinner - a banana and a glass of warm milk.
Both a milk and a banana diet separately cleanse the body well. But such nutrition is contraindicated for people suffering from diseases of the liver, biliary tract, and those who have high blood pressure.
Milk (kefir) + bananas
You can choose both soft and hard versions of this diet.
- Sparing. 10 days continuously consume 4 bananas and one liter of nonfat milk per day.
- Strict. For five consecutive days, we eat three bananas every day plus three glasses of milk. We drink water and green tea. If you become bored - make yourself a milk-banana shake. After 18:00 you can’t eat.
If you do not tolerate milk, just replace it with kefir. Fat content - not more than 2.5%.
Greetings from the Land of the Rising Sun
Otherwise, it is called the morning banana diet. Reviews say that with its help you can get rid of one kilogram per day.
For breakfast, you need to eat a banana and drink a glass of water. You can have a couple of bananas. But not so much to overeat. The feeling of hunger should go away, but you won’t feel satiated either. The Japanese inventor of the original diet ate four small Filipino bananas in the morning, sometimes eating a rice ball after two and a half hours (about 200 calories).
Tip: eat only raw, fresh, unfrozen bananas.
For lunch and dinner, you can eat everything without restrictions, but also without fanaticism: without overeating and avoiding too high-calorie foods. Dinner should be eaten before 8 p.m. (preferably before 6 p.m.).
During this diet you can drink only water, but without restrictions, mineral or filtered, at room temperature. Drink in small sips.
The Japanese have a proverb: "The stomach, filled at 7/10, does not need a doctor."
Tea and coffee are allowed, but with restrictions, frequent consumption of dairy products is not recommended. In public places you can drink beer or wine.
Go to bed as early as possible, before midnight. Your last meal should take place 4 hours before bedtime, i.e. at 6 pm.
As for physical activity, if you have the strength and desire - train! More walk in the fresh air.
This is the most sparing version of the banana diet, and reviews about it can only be found positive. In fact, you do not leave your working mode, do not experience discomfort and hunger. The Japanese know a lot about food and proper nutrition.
Way out of diet
You can eat a banana in the evening for another week, as mentioned above. If the fruits are completely tired, remove them from your menu on the eighth day. The right way out of the diet will help consolidate the result of the loss of kilograms. Nothing special is required of you, except for proper, not too plentiful nutrition.
In the morning for breakfast, cook yourself an oatmeal without milk, add berries to it, you can pumpkin or apple. Or an orange.
Between breakfast and lunch, you definitely want to eat something, let it be a pear or an apple.
It is better to dine with vegetable soup, to have an afternoon snack - with vegetables or cottage cheese.
For dinner, boiled lean meat is perfect. You can add buckwheat porridge and leafy greens.
Drink more pure water and green tea.

To gain weight, many actors and models sit on a "tight shutter". But this is dangerous to health, since excessive load on the digestive tract will lead to the loss of full legal capacity.
And here, too, a banana diet can help. Effective, delicious. Its meaning is to fully eat five times a day, and before and after eating eat two bananas. Just a day will get 10 fruits. Observing this mode, you must go to the gym as often as possible and give the muscles maximum load.

Reviews
You probably guessed which of these modes people left the most mixed and critical reviews about. A 3-day banana diet is the most stringent, but also the most effective. The main thing is not to overdo it with fruits, you need 4 medium bananas, do not arm yourself with huge "mutants".
The banana-curd diet, according to reviews, is quite satisfying and does not cause discomfort. And very effective. Turn on the fantasy, because you can beat the cottage cheese with several fruits and divide this volume into several meals. In a week, you say goodbye to about 5 kilograms.
From fans of a healthy lifestyle and amateurs to experiment, you can hear a lot of reviews about the results of a banana diet that allows the use of milk, kefir. For example, during the week you can drink cocktails made from low-fat milk, bananas from the freezer and dates (2 pieces are enough). You can also drink plain water. Set yourself daily calorie limits of about 1,500 kcal (1.5 kg of bananas) - and about 4 kilograms can be lost per week.
The most effective, according to reviews, was a banana diet for 7 days, which involves the alternation of exclusively "banana" days with days when you can eat dairy products. This makes sense, since diversity will appear in your diet. Low-fat fruits are complemented by cottage cheese and kefir, which these fats contain to one degree or another. The body, feeling that all the necessary substances enter it, will not turn on the emergency mode of accumulation and will easily "give" extra pounds.
Finally
Excess weight is the result of a sedentary lifestyle in front of monitors at home or in offices, in the face of tremendous gastronomic abundance. It’s hard for us to control ourselves when we see 10 types of sausages, cheeses and chocolate.
Cultivate a food culture. Read about how medieval court ladies ate. Do not be a slave to food. Eat consciously, chew gently and slowly, feel every bite.
According to doctors, any mono-diet should be followed for no more than 3 days. Then the body will begin to panic. All mono-diets give a temporary result, since they are unnatural. The body is accustomed to receiving many substances, and here he is offered only one thing.
If there are all signs of discomfort, painful manifestations, weakness, the diet must be stopped, and not just the banana one.
Diet should turn into your lifestyle aimed at maintaining health, which includes both nutrition and physical activity. Try it - you will feel that life is interesting and multifaceted, and you will definitely want to explore what you do not know yet!
