just wondering there has been a bit of talk about eating bananas regularly through the day for dieting...and apparently its had results....just wondering though arnt banana's full of carbs? just dont want to be including banana's in my diet if im gonna start bloating up as ive cut down on the cardio and focusing on more heavy lifting now...

cheers

Dan

I could be wrong but i was under the impression that too many bananas can be bad for you because of all the potassium?

ah k no worries im only talking say 1 or 2 a day just to fill me up in my snack meals

cheers

woops my bad

I eat bannanas all the time, probably the best fruit you could possibly have nutrition wise. The average banna has 400mg of potassium, which is about 10% daily intake for the average person. There is definatley no harm in eating 2 a day.

avg 27 grams of carbs (14g from sugar)

Oh, and they are great for snacks becasue they make you feel full-ish.

cheers bro

bananas are awsome... i eat plenty, they are good for so many reasons...

perfect to have after a workout, dunno if I'd base a diet around them though.....

hmmmmmmmm this reminds me that i was gonna get a few bananas today to take with me to uni.... oh well off to coles in the morning!

I love a shake made with milk, bananas, WPC, honey, oat & wheat bran and natural yoghurt.

Yeah, i love making smoothies/shakes. If it wasn't such a PITA to clean out the blender everytime I would have them more often.

Mash up a banana with a little bit of a ripe avocado, then add honey. Tastes interesting, but is the best hit of natural energy you can get.

Stick mixers are awesome for that. You can drink the shake from what you've mixed it in, plus you just give the mixer blades a buzz in soapy water after mixing it then disconnect the bottom from the motor and wash it properly with the rest of the dishes later on.



Avocadoss give the highest testosterone boost out of almost any food. Cutting them in half, removing the seed then spooning in tuna chunks and some sweet chilli is good too.

I have a whole avo a day

gonna have to try that!

Too much of anything is not good

Green apples are a better fruit to eat, have a better GI index, more fibre also.

Don't they cause constipation?

No, but they are good for treating diarrhea.

Cool, going to stock up then.
