2. Together with the banana drink one glass of lukewarm water for breakfast. You can still drink coffee if you want at least 20 minutes before the breakfast.
3. The good thing about this diet is that it doesn’t have any restrictions and it doesn’t require removing certain foods from your menu. However, if you want any results you should try and reduce consumption of fatty foods. The only rule that it applies is the one that says to stop eating when you are 80% full.
