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.
The diet was created by Osaka pharmacist Sumiko Watanabe, who wanted to help her husband lose weight, and aims at boosting the dieter's metabolism. Watanabe's husband ended up dropping 37 pounds.
The diet was first posted on one of Japan's largest social networking sites. Morning Banana Diet books began hitting bookstores in March and have since sold more than 730,000 copies. The diet's popularity escalated after a TV show featured a singer who lost 15 pounds in just six weeks.
