Can Bananas Help You Lose Weight? Check the Facts

Dream- When we want to have a slim body, we must undergo a diet and consume low-calorie and healthy foods. To achieve both of these goals, Dream Friends can try using one method, which is the banana diet.

How is it possible? Bananas do have good carbohydrates in the form of resistant starch and high fiber to facilitate proper digestion and burn fat. In addition, bananas also have important nutrients such as potassium, magnesium, vitamin C, and other minerals that can improve health.

"The high fiber content in bananas makes them a very filling food that helps with weight loss by increasing metabolism. In addition, bananas serve as a substitute for sugar that can help curb cravings for sweet foods," said Shilpa Arora ND, a nutrition expert and health practitioner.

The Amount of Bananas Consumed for a Diet

Because it is a highly nutritious fruit, ideally we consume one medium-sized banana per day while on this diet. Dream Friends are free to choose when to eat it. Whether it's for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
