  Bananas can make you lose weight for a number of reasons of which the following are the most empirically grounded ones.  1)  You’ll Start Burning Fat According to eatthis.com, Bananas have 12 mg of choline, a fat-blasting B vitamin that acts directly on the genes that cause fat storage in the abdomen. According to an article posted by this site, One reason heavy drinkers have bloated bellies is that alcohol depletes choline, causing weight gain around the liver.  2)  Your Blood Sugar Will Stabilize “Bananas are a great source of nutrition for a lot of reasons!” says Bjork from eatthis.com “I encourage consuming protein and healthy fat with the banana to slow down the absorption of the sugar from the banana into your bloodstream.

Many people are losing weight but they are not losing fat.  The fat is still there though they appear to be gone.  How is this possible?  Fat is stored in fat cells in the body as chemical energy. When the number in your scale goes down,  the weight loss may not be fat but water and glycogen. This is the case with some people who lose weight. The body is composed of organs,  muscles, water, etc.  which all together makes up the weight of an individual. Excess glucose is usually converted to glycogen and stored in the liver and skeletal muscles.   Glycogen functions as one of two forms of long-term energy reserves, with the other form being   triglyceride   stores in   adipose tissue   (i.e., body fat).   In the liver, glycogen can make up from 5–6% of the organ's fresh w...

Obesity is on the rise every day. People eat and grow fat then they bring their children up in that poor eating lifestyle and the children gets fat also and they in turn pass on the fat lifestyle to the next generation. Today, we want fast foods and junks and we would rather eat out at restaurants than prepare our own food.         In an attempt to lose weight, gym membership is always on the increase. And some people prefer Fitness centers. In any case, the believe is that the more I exercise, the more I shed. This is often not the case as we shall see below.
