Diet Enthusiast (2:01)

Right. Or you live in Japan. And she claimed to have done this on the banana diet. And so in Japan the banana diet became very popular and now it's spread here to the United States. And I noticed that, I looked over and Wendy has her bananas over here eating and her lukewarm water. And that's what the banana diet is. When you first get up in the morning for breakfast, all you have is a banana or two or it says however many you want and then a glass of warm water or lukewarm water rather. And then you eat whatever you want the rest of the day. Then you're going to lose weight.

Skeptic (2:32)

And what's the Theory here behind the

Diet Enthusiast (2:35)

banana, that it raises your metabolism to eat the banana and the lukewarm water so that the rest of the day your food is burned faster.

Skeptic (2:42)

Really?

Diet Enthusiast (2:42)

Yeah.

Participant (2:43)

And you can't eat past eight. And you have to eat like your normal meals and you can't have like any snacks in the middle. If you have a snack, it can be like a fruit, but yeah, no snacks.

Skeptic (2:51)

Okay, so let me get this straight. Banana, first thing in the morning. Banana, warm water. Okay. And then you can't have snacks.

Participant (2:57)

You're not supposed to have snacks on it. I think that's what I read.

Host (3:00)

And then you go straight from there to lunch. To lunch.

Participant (3:02)

And then you can have whatever you want for dinner, but you have to eat it before 8pm so you can't eat anything else after 8.

Skeptic (3:09)

The rest of it sounds like just.

Commentator (3:10)

And you have to go to bed before midnight.

Diet Enthusiast (3:12)

Right?

Host (3:13)

Right.

Skeptic (3:13)

And you have to go to bed before midnight.

Commentator (3:15)

Those are all right.

Skeptic (3:16)

And you have to be a Sagittarius.

Diet Enthusiast (3:17)

Right.

Skeptic (3:18)

And your mom's maiden name has to be Kelly.

Participant (3:20)

Oh, man, I'm out.

Skeptic (3:22)

These fad diets, I'm always a little bit skeptical of cause for a while there it was like the cabbage diet. You remember women were farting all over, but they were losing weight.

Diet Enthusiast (3:31)

Farting like old men. Yes.

Host (3:32)

Do you remember that book, the Skinny Bitch?

Skeptic (3:35)

Yes.

Host (3:36)

They have a similar theory, but their theory in the morning is just start with fruit and room temperature water. So they don't specify it as bananas, but that's one of the things in theirs is to start with fruit as the first thing you put in your body.

Skeptic (3:49)

Has it worked for you?

Host (3:49)

They say don't drink coffee, which means I threw out the book.

Diet Enthusiast (3:54)

Have you lost any kilos?

Participant (3:56)

Well, I just started yesterday, so no kilos.

Commentator (4:00)

I don't think there's any kilos if you Google it. And maybe Wenny should leave the room because it's all. Because it's mind over matter, whatever psychosomatic stuff. But if you Google it, supposedly this Japanese pop star made it up and somebody took off and wrote the book about it.

Host (4:20)

Oh really?

Commentator (4:21)

With the Japanese pop star, all they said is I would start every morning with just having fruit for breakfast, usually a banana because it was the most convenient. So. And water. So then somebody took that. So people, apparently in Japan, if like one famous person shaves one eyebrow off, like everybody between the ages of 16 and 30 shaves one eyebrow off, doesn't

Skeptic (4:46)

sound too different than our country.

Commentator (4:49)

So they said that. So there started to be this Run on the bananas. And some guy who was a writer slash supermarket manager wrote a book and put all this other stuff in there that would make you lose weight. And people said they started following it. And this stuff is just from standard issue diet books like don't snack, Eat a snack, have a piece of fruit.

Skeptic (5:10)

Don't eat after 8 o'. Clock. It's all standard diet stuff.

Diet Enthusiast (5:13)

You get plenty of sleep. So that's why you go to bed before midnight. Assuming that you get up at a

Commentator (5:17)

normal time, you can apparently eat any sort of. It doesn't have to be a banana. It's any sort of natural fruit in the morning. It can even be a glass of orange juice in the morning because that makes you feel awake and alert and not like you have to eat more. And then after that you just basically, the book says eat healthy.

Skeptic (5:37)

It just gives you like a really good snapshot into the mentality of how we're so diet conscious that people are desperate to find something that they can lose weight with quickly. Even if it's a diet like this. That only half makes sense. If somebody is losing weight on it, everybody wants to lose on.

Commentator (5:53)

It's not even that it half makes sense. It all makes sense because it's.

Skeptic (5:55)

But it's been said for 200 years.

Commentator (5:57)

But it's cut out the snack. Right, but all they do is they add a gimmick to it. Like your first thing in the morning has to be a banana.

Diet Enthusiast (6:03)

Well, the reason they do that is because most people fail their diets. And so if this is new, well, this will work. Then it doesn't work. Oh, well. Grapefruit diet. Okay, that'll work. You know, and it's, it's just, yeah, like you said, just eat healthy and exercise and get plenty of sleep.

Participant (6:16)

But.

Advertiser 2 (6:17)

Weird.

Diet Enthusiast (6:17)

But it takes time and people don't want the time to, you know, to lose the weight.

Skeptic (6:21)

Wendy was saying, though, she went to like a supermarket yesterday and they were, they're out of bananas.

Participant (6:27)

I got like the last little bundle of bananas.

Diet Enthusiast (6:29)

I was like, like a sigh of relief.

Commentator (6:33)

Coming up, bananas. Apparently you can use fruit, apples or my favorite, fruit roll ups.

Host (6:41)

That's what you need to do is fruit roll up.

Advertiser 2 (6:43)

Diet.

Commentator (6:44)

Any sort of fruit in the morning will work. Applesauce.

Advertiser (6:48)
