Like going to bed at a decent hour, drinking, lunch and snack. Anyways, my quality of life has improved even if it is just a fad diet. Also, after 16 days i had lost 5lbs :) I blog about it if your interested at all.

I have not done the diet perfectly but I have eaten a banana and water at least 45 of the days. I didn't do the diet around Thanksgiving (and gained 2 lbs or so that I had to re-lose). I've also probably eaten more sweets than I should have (due to the holidays). The rules and how I do on them: 1. Eat a banana and lukewarm water (pretty faithful). 2. Eat whatever at lunch. I've had something sweet after lunch probably 1/3 of the 50 days so far (so...I would say partly faithful). 3. Eat a snack at 3 PM (pretty faithful). 4. Eat whatever for dinner (sometimes have sweets; probably 10 days out of the 50--so, more faithful than not). 5. Eat before 8 PM (pretty faithful). 6. Go to bed by midnight (pretty faithful). I guess if I didn't eat the sweets after lunch or dinner, I'd be doing better. I also exercise on average of 4 days per week. I try to walk with some jogging 4-5 miles on some days; lift weights (1 set of about 12 exercises) some days. Losing 8 lbs for me in less than 2 months is amazing as I've gone on every diet imaginable with not great results. My pants are getting looser and my stomach is flatter. Most of my "muffin top" is gone (just a slight amount of spillover). I'm not sure how/if this will work the same for you as it seems to be working for me. I wish everyone luck with their fight against the bulge! I’ve been on the banana diet since November 1 and have lost 8 pounds (in 50 days).

Having tried it myself I found I was too hungry allot of the time and so I made some modifications to it which works better for the bigger western chap like me! I have still gone from someone that is clinically obese to normal weight within 18 months. I didn't think it would work either. Who'd think it, eating a few bananas would do that lol :-) I agree the morning banana diet is not really suitable for westerners.
