Is plantain good for weight loss?

Any food can fit a weight-loss diet, because your total daily calories decide the result, not one food. Plantain is high in sugar, which is easy to get past your target, so watch the portion.

Is plantain healthy?

Healthy depends on the rest of your day, not one food. It brings fiber. Keep an eye on the sugar. In a balanced diet at your calorie target, plantain is fine; the portion and how often you eat it matter more than the food itself.
