Zhiling and Big S use bananas to lose weight! Nutritionist: You will fail.

Although some people may suffer from allergies due to bananas, and even experience itching, burning, swelling, or papules in the oral mucosa, many celebrities love to eat bananas and even use them to lose weight. Many years ago, there was a whirlwind of "eating bananas for breakfast to lose weight" in Japan. At that time, this trend also swept Taiwan. Many female celebrities liked to use it as a weight loss food. However, nutritionists remind that anyone who wants to lose weight with a single fruit is doomed to fail and it will cause nutritional imbalance.

Ouyang Feifei, a popular Japanese star, is over 64 years old, but she has a hot body. Her waist circumference has always been maintained at 24 cm, and her age is completely undetectable. She once said that she never had any micro-plastic surgery. The secret to her health is to only eat bananas to fill her stomach when she is working, drink ginseng tea to protect her throat, and eat bird's nest to stay in the best condition.

Kyoko Fukada, another Japanese superstar, once said that she used the banana breakfast diet to lose weight and successfully lost 24 kilograms in just three months, successfully shaping her sexy curves. She no longer had to worry about being laughed at by others or having her costumes torn due to being too fat during filming.

Supermodel Lin Chi-ling once revealed that she likes to eat bananas, and even recommended eating bananas as a main meal, because they contain many nutrients, especially rich potassium, but very low in fat. They can fill the stomach and are low in fat, which can reduce fat accumulation in the lower body and achieve the purpose of slimming the legs.

Many years ago, Big S also tried to lose weight by eating bananas. Because she was criticized for her figure, she only ate one banana a day for three weeks and finally lost 3 kilograms. But later I gave up because I couldn't stand it anymore and resumed my normal diet.

Singer Fish Leong also has a private weight loss meal. She said that it is to have banana, honey and milk for breakfast. Due to the rush to record the album, my daily routine was quite chaotic and I was even too nervous to sleep well. This breakfast could not only replenish my energy but also help clean my stomach.

【Nutritionist’s advice】

Nutritionist Xie Yifang said that eating bananas as a main meal to lose weight, or eating bananas as breakfast to lose weight, are incorrect practices. Bananas are not low in calories among many fruits, equivalent to nearly 90 calories per 100 grams, which is about the calories of eating two servings of fruit at one time. If eaten as three meals, the accumulated calories will be considerable. Almost all people who try to lose weight by eating only one fruit will not succeed in the end.

The nutritional components of bananas include three kinds of natural sugars: sucrose, fructose and glucose, as well as fiber, potassium ions, amino acids (which will be converted into serotonin), etc. It can be seen that the sugar content is very high, but it lacks the fat and protein necessary for the human body's daily nutritional intake. Long-term consumption will cause nutritional imbalance. In addition, the potassium ion content is high, so it is not suitable for people with poor kidney function to consume in large quantities. In addition, after the amino acids are converted into serotonin, the sugar content will increase, which will stimulate gastric acid secretion and easily cause gastric ulcers.
