4. Bananas support your weight loss process

You don’t have to have a Ph.D. in nutrition to know that bananas are weight-loss-friendly snacks. Since they have few calories (100 calories or so), bananas can be safely consumed by those who are trying to lose weight. Plus, many studies suggest that consuming more good sources of fiber like bananas can lead to controlled weight loss.

Most vegetables are excellent sources of fiber, too. But if you really want to shed those extra pounds, choose unripe bananas next time you’re grocery shopping. Because unripe bananas pack resistant starch, they will most likely reduce your appetite.
