Hello! I just found on the web some crazy videos about eating as much bananas as you can for days (even weeks) in order to lose weight.

I would really like to know if some of you did try a banana diet (only bananas!) and what happened.

Thx! :)

    Is this serious?

    For weeks? You do understand you can't really hit all your macros/nutritional needs on bananas alone right?

    i probably did, back in the 70s, when i was a teen.

    i tried all those crazy/crash/ridiculous diets.

    will you lose weight? probably.

    will you gain it back? probably. you will gain it back PLUS extra.

    Is it healthy? no. it's ridiculously UNhealthy.

    WHy would you want to do this?

    Well I love bananas!

    But after weeks of eating just bananas, I'm pretty sure they would disgust me.

    If you're gonna try it, maybe wash it down with a ton of Sprite. :laugh:

    Thank you for answering! :)

    No, I'm not going on a banana diet. I don't have enough self-control to follow any diet, anyway...

    Do people not realize that large amounts of bananas could stop your heart and kill you? :noway:

    Too many bananas can kill you because it causes an imbalance of electrolytes from all the potassium. I think it is something like 7 bananas a day that could do it, which seems a decent amount to eat if that is all you are eating.

    The only time I have ever done a diet of only one "food" for any length of time were the bags of IV fluids I got after my brain surgery. NO. Just NO!

    Presuming you don't consume any sodium at all, perhaps...

    Wait.... OP, you've been on here for 3 years and actually asked that as a serious question? I thought for sure you were just funning with us.... :noway:

    I think a fruititarian diet is fine for those who want to do it.
    Some folks are happy with this lifestyle.

    I refuse to give up meat and caffeine. I did attempt for about 3 days before my head exploded from lack of caffeine. Not for me!
