This is Momotaro. He is my kinkajou. He's a member of the raccoon family.
He loves bananas. But recently, he can't get any because people in Japan have gone crazy for the banana diet.
Japanese women: you are skinny enough. Please stop following the diet so Momotaro can eat his favorite treat!
I wonder. Who introduced the banana diet in Japan?
Are any of you following it?
Does it work?
Isn't a normal Japanese diet healthy enough?

most Japanese girls are much skinny. it's not good for health and also not good looking....
many girls don't need to do diet, but they do. it is a part of fashion maybe?
but I think banana diet will gone sooner or later. always people are easy to be tired of anything.... if it is getting popular, many people try to get it. but after a month, they forget it and go next stuff.
there are many such foods so far... kinako, cocoa, kanten, marshmallow....etc etc.
so, Momotaro.... be patient a little while.
nobody looks happy as same as Momotaro, when they eat bananas. :D

From what I understand the idea is just to eat a banana for breakfast and then everything else the same as normal.
Stop the presses, eat fruit as part of your diet? No shit sherlock.
People would be much better of just learning about nutrition and their body and using that to help them.
Body uses x calories a day. If you exercise it uses more.
If you take in less calories than you use, you lose weight.
I might be simplifying things but its basically right.
Thats why those calorie counting diets work.
Exercise means you use more calories.
Even this basic knowledge is better than just eating a banana and hoping for the best.

This is a common misconception.
The majority of Japanese women I see every day are NOT skinny. Some are small, but they are still carrying around a lot of fat relative to their frames.
They might appear skinny to people who don't know the difference, or who are used to the giant hippo-assed creatures that pass for women in many western countries these days, but on closer inspection most would benefit from a little more exercise and a little less time at the 3500yen/hand nail salon.

To ppl getting fat there is just only one simple reason!
EATING TOO MUCH
The amount of the meal of one person might be considerably less than your amount
There are many Japanese ppl brainwashed to the mass communication, and popular things is loved soon. I think that is a National character.
I don't think it is good.
I'm sorry about Momotaro
Is there any other good food for him?
Dose he like any other fruit?

I think the banana diet craze is already fading. I've been able to find more bananas recently.
I think a "don't eat at McDonald's" diet is a better idea.

Kinkajous are illegal to import into Japan nowadays. Many states don't allow ownership of them either.
It's for the better, because I don't think they should be kept as pets. They can never be domesticated completely. A lot of them will violently attack their owners even after years of keeping them.
They are hard to control, and they can almost never be toilet trained. They also live 20+ years.
Plus, allowing them to be kept as pets encourages poaching and smuggling.
I bought him without seriously considering the consequences. I love him to death, and will never give him up/give up on him, but if I could turn back time...
So my advice to you or anyone who is thinking about getting a kinkajou, is rescue a cat or a dog instead.

Let me be direct with you simpletons, eating an abundance of bananas will not help you lose weight. In fact the only thing eating a lot of bananas will do is make you fat and drive up the price of bananas. I used to like to have one a day. Now I've switched to apples and other cheap fruits..
Each banana has 89 calories per 100 grams, a lot compared to other fruit. An apple has 52 calories per 100 grams. A melon such as watermelon has 30 calories per 100 grams.
Remember when they said "You are what you eat". If you want to lose weight, watch what you eat. Calories = fat. To lose one pound, you must create a deficit of 3500 calories by eating less and/or increasing your activity. Losing more than one pound a week is not so good. So you will need to check your calorie allowance based on your Resting Metabolic Rate. Once you know how many calories you burn a day, you can calculate your allowance of intake. Watch what you eat but eat many different things. That bread you love so much as a ton of calories. Cut down your oil intake. You need some oil, but there is tons in food. Eat grilled chicken instead of stir-fried (less oil in the preparation). Eat chicken and fish instead of beef and pork (fattier meats).
DON'T just eat bananas. Eating a single thing is unhealthy and just plain stupid. Eat a wide variety of healthy foods.

Like someone mentioned.. the idea behind the Banana diet is to eat one or two in the morning with a glass of water. This means that you are basically skipping that fatty breakfast and sugary coffee that most people normally have. This act alone will cut your caloric intake enough to see a drop in body weight if the person is clearly over weight and a couch potato. For that matter replacing a normal breakfast with any "fruit & water" combination will give you the same results.
Most people have already found that their weight loss was just minor because with this diet they were told that they could eat normally for the rest the the day. Pasta, Pizza, bread, etc.. carbohydrates in general... are what causes most people to become obese. That and lack of exercise. If you have a high protein diet, low carb, with just a 30 mins of exercise per day you will see your abs in 4 months. This trend for the banana diet was started by a popular prime time TV talk show and this is not the first time that same show started a craze. Every one wants to take the easy route to being in shape. The Banana diet claimed that they could eat anything they wanted ( up until 8:pm) with no exercise! and still loose weight. Which is true... But like I mentioned, skipping any of your normal meals will give you the same results.
My Kinkajou loved Bananas too. And Seal Pool gives good advise about not keeping one as a pet. Most people are not ready for that responsibility. Just like keeping a Monkey. You see
a cute picture or video and think you want to have one, but what you don`t see is the mess they make on a daily basis. Non domestic animals are unpredictable. And many of them can go into a rage for reasons that we can not understand. It takes a certain type of person to be able to deal with that. Believe me.... I know.

This banana thing will be gone in a couple of months, like someone mentioned above. It's something like Billy's Bootcamp fever in Japan if anyone remembers. the banana stuff has the same fate.
By the way I lost 5 kilos after my ex-girlfriend dumped me. Would that be considered a good diet.........god.

Morning banana diet (it is not just banana diet, to eat them in the morning is important) is based on Raw Food Diet.
It is very logical to eat banana in the MORNING.
It is based on th logic which a Swedish doctor (alternertive medecin) named Are Wareland fond in 1940's.
He found that the digestion of human being has cycle in 24 hours.
It is separated in 3 elements.
4am - noon the time of elimination
noon - 8PM the time of digestion
8PM - 4PM the time of absorption
So you go to bath room in the morning :)
If you have heavy breakfast in the morning , you'll need energy to digest it and you'll cannot use energy to eliminate.
Then toxic sabstance stay in your body and causes disfunction of your body.
All of fruits content enzyme to digest bythemselves and you don't need energy to digest in the morning.
Morning banana diet suggest to eat just banana in the morning but you can eat any fruits in the morning. But you can eat just fruits. I don't recomend mix it with Yogurt or Milk . Small amount of raw nuts will be fine.
If you keep the habit, You'll go to bath room 2~3 times a day very smoothly and you'll lose weight if your body truly need that.
You can read a book named "Fit For Life" which explain the logic well.
It is sold in Western country more than 13 million copies.

Seriously, the best diet is to eat healthy, small portions - regularly (2 hrs between)....
Drink lots of liquid (water preferably...) and stop eating after 8pm....
EXERCISE...
I tried the banana diet, it sort of work, but because I have swimming training in the morning, and after 3hrs of swimming training, I tend to get hungry....
also I have beach volleyball during the day around noon till 4 or 5pm...depending on weather and SURF after uni...
so I didn't stick with it too much...
seriously.... PPL must realize that diets have consequences and limits and also hidden agenda... such as EXERCISE... not eating would just create a major health problem in the long run!!

hi everyone.
actually i'm the one of who's on Banana diet.
but in my case,the purpose is not a diet itself,
it's because i'm too lazy to make breakfast...
just have bananas and a glass pf water for breakfast.
i didn't really mean to start a diet,but since when i started it
some people pointed i lost some weight.
actually i've lost some (a little) weight in these 2 weeks.
as other ppl posted,this banana thing will be gone in a while
like Billy's something...
now it's hard to get bananas at the supermarket.
they're all sold out in the afternoon so i just have to run to the supermarket in the morning and i manage to get some.
i don't how long i cant last,but i'll try until i get bored...haha.

It depends on the State. But a lot of the time the regulations are unclear because few statutes specifically mention kinkajous.
***
News of the banana diet has reached the US and doctors and nutritionists there are saying it's mostly ineffective.
The pharmacist (not doctor, not nutritionist) who came up with it has no scientific data to back up her beliefs. So she just thought it would be a good idea, and it seemed to have worked on her husband.
At the moment, all evidence of its effectiveness is anecdotal.

The idea behind the banana diet itself is something that people who want to lose weight should take notice of. At least from what I read -- it was eating a breakfast, lunch and dinner, with some snacks, but not after each meal. Eat before 8 and go to bed by midnight.
Though you could literally just add on a bowl of crunchy, yummy bran cereal to make it a better breakfast for more energy. Going to bed by midnight should lessen personal strain on the body.
Also: a pharmacist has to have a Pharm.D with training in biology, chemistry, etcetera. Over here at the college I'm attending, learning about nutrition is actually a sub-100 level class ... it doesn't take too much to know how to make a good diet plan.

everyone! i'm sure the smarter ones in this discussion know this already,
too many bananas will take it's toll on your body.
it destroys your kidneys in the long run..
why would you just eat bananas? thats just sad.
your body needs potassium but too much of a good thing can kill you.
how about eating right foods & leaving the randomly strange and bizarre diets in the shiter.
because eating the right foods & in good proportion can (omg) manage your weight.
& help you lose some.
ex = eat 70 grams of peanuts like 20 minutes before eating and it'll help you get full faster.

actually i've heard drinking a couple glasses of water before eating will help you get full faster.
in your posting,it says peanuts but does it mean anything like nuturition things?
i've heard nuts have a lot of fat,so i usually avoid eating them but if it's good for health,i'd like to try.
it means you need to eat a certain amount of nuts(70 grams),
maybe overeating nuts will make you gain some weight?

i don't know about the weight loss benefits of diets, but bananas are great for supplying the brain with sugar in a relatively quick amount of time. There is some chemical in bananas that help to transport sugar to the brain specificially making it efficient brain juice. Many sports athletes have a banana before events where they have to concentrate.
A lot of tennis players and golfers have a banana before they play. I think the best time is 15 minutes before playing, from what I heard. Anything that requires concentration is aided by having a banana first.

actually i don't think it has to be peanuts, it can be any nut. nuts do have a lot of fat but if it's 70 grams that should be so bad. just have a long walk in the park, those 70 grams will come off.
yea drinking water will make you full but like i said before "too much of a good thing will kill you"
too much water can drown your lungs. but i know we should drink at least 8 glasses of water a day.
i only drink like 6? lol
