Morning Diet of Bananas can be a Recipe for Disaster for Most People
She agreed that it appeared to be a good idea to have warm water with breakfast.
"Some people believe it helps with digestion. And it's common for some people to have the warm water in the morning. You're increasing your fluid intake in the morning, but this diet gives no explanation why (the warm water helps)," she added.
She, however, insisted that the morning banana diet could not be regarded as the stuff of a roadmap for lifetime eating.
"For the most people, bananas are not a magical food. They're just not. They have fibre. They have protein. They have potassium. They're an excellent food that should be incorporated into your diet but, just like the grapefruit diet or cabbage soup diet, there's no magical food," she said.
Glassman further said that bananas "have some resistant starch. That is a type of fibre that passes through your system into your colon without being digested. There is some new research that shows it might actually help burn fat. Now, even if that's true and, let's say, it does help do that, there are other resistant starches out there, in potatoes, in beans. You still can't over-consume as many bananas as you want, and you still can't eat whatever you want, including steak and fries every day for lunch.
"Incorporate bananas into a healthy diet. That's the way to go. But we still need whole grains and vegetables," among many other types of food, she added.
