    Default Japanese Banana Diet

    They say its very popular now in Japan and that it works.

    "The Morning Banana Diet consists of one or more bananas with room-temperature water for breakfast; an optional snack at 3 p.m.; and anything you want for lunch and dinner. The catch: You can't eat desserts after meals, dinner has to be consumed by 8 p.m. , and you have to go to bed by midnight."

    I know there is more info needed, but I'll bet you can google it.

    Also I know this topic goes in Body Business, but since I'm not a dancer, I can't post in there. I posted because I thought it would be interesting to all. I might just have to relearn to eat bananas.
    I loved going to strip clubs; I actually made some friends there. Now things are different for the clubs and for me. As a result I am not as happy.

    Customers are not entitled to grope, disrespect, or rob strippers. This is their job, not their hobby, and they all need income. Clubs are not just some erotic show for guys to view while drinking.

    NOTE: anything I post here, outside of a direct quote, is my opinion only, which I am entitled to. Take it for what you estimate it is worth.

    I don't know if there's actually a written rule in place or not but it is strongly discouraged. are asked to stick to the blue side and Customer Conversation and use discretion when posting in Lounge, Music Mix, Picture Post and Member Boards. All other forums are considered off limits. At least that's been my understanding up to this point.

    On another note, wasn't an updated set of rules in the works?

    Now to get the thread back on track again, here's some bananas!

    What if I want to eat fried chicken and twinkies as my lunch and dinner?

    Very arbitrary diet rules. I hope we all know a bit more about nutrition than to think eating bananas and water every morning is going to melt fat away.

    I rarely saw fat people in Japan anyway. Subway was packed at 6:30 am so a midnight bedtime is more practical for them anyway.

    It was in a sticky in BB. Never heard of that rule in the Lounge. But there are a LOT of unwritten and hidden rules around here, and even personal rules.

    At the rate things are going, the updated set of rules may be a moot point. This whole fiasco came about at the worst possible time in SW's history, with all the cattiness, arguing, etc. Maybe the updated rules would have helped a little, but I doubt it would have changed some people's demeanor anyhow.

    Not too many Japanese eat such oil-filled foods.

    I posted this (very incomplete description) for those who want to look into it because the Japanese seem to think it works. It is a FAD diet of sorts. If you aren't interested, that's ok too.

    Well the bed at midnight thing wouldn't work for most of us.
    They are probably talking there about getting sufficient sleep. I'm sure you can adjust the schedule to your lifestyle, but you should read about it.

    I just read some where else that because of this diet grocery stores in Japan cannot keep banannas in stock. When a trend starts over there everyone and their mom follows it, lol.

    That's pretty retarded.
