Lin Ratcliffe is the girl with 450,000 followers on Instagram, which makes her a real star! Due to the fact that she consumes up to 50 bananas daily, people started calling her the “banana girl”. However, it turned out that this unusual diet helped her stay fit.
She came up with an interesting diet plan, called “Raw till 4”. As the name itself suggests, this diet is based on the consumption of raw fruit until 4 o`clock and vegan meal containing carbohydrates in the evening.
Lin lost about 20 kilograms with the help of this diet and inspired many women worldwide. However, we cannot let it go without asking ourselves whether this diet plan is healthy.
According to Evangelina Mantzioris, a nutritionist, this diet is no healthy at all as it doesn’t supply the body with the needed nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals, calcium, and healthy fats. Moreover, the high fructose content equals the amount obtained from a few cans of Coke daily.
Given the fact that “Raw till4” is not backed up by science, its results are not validated. As much as we need fruit in our diet, too much of it does more harm than good. Two servings a day work fine for most people.
