    1. Arsenic
    2. Bleach
    3. Glass
    4. Rat Poison
    5. Bananas

    I think the reasoning for bananas could be related to the amount of pesticides that are absorbed into the fruit itself and the kinds of pesticides which are used where they are grown. I've heard that bananas are one of the worst foods when it comes to pesticides, though I can't cite any sources.

    EDIT:
    I found this:http://planetgreen.discovery.com/food-health/eat-organic-foods.html, and this: http://lowcarbdiets.about.com/od/nutrition/a/pesticides.htm

    Not sure on the authenticity or anything, but it's definitely up there.

    The only things I avoid are trans fats, and I watch my sodium intake also. Honestly, if you learn to cook and prepare your own meals with fresh ingredients, you can cook almost anything and fit it in your calories for the day (with portion control obviously).

    As long as you are below your calorie goal on a daily basis, you will lose weight. (barring medical issues)

    It is funny you posted this because I was going to ask about it too....I think the thing with the bananas is lame....I mean really....you'd have to consume them like it was your business to have it be of any great effect.

    If you are satisfying your protein and fat needs, whatever calories are left you could eat whatever you wanted within your calorie goal. There is no one food that you need to avoid. Dr. Oz does have some neat things he does on his show, but I would never take his advice to heart. Green tea to reduce belly fat? Maybe help reduce body fat but there is no way to spot reduce. Just say in a calorie deficit, meet your protein / fat needs and in time you'll lose body fat. It takes some time though.

    Marketing is a huge part of anything Dr. Oz related.

    When I've been pregnant the questionaire would ask if I was or wanted to eat cat litter. Being that I'm very visual and we had cats my mind would go to me cleaning the box and I thought. EEEWWWWWWWWWWW HOW GROSS! Why would they ask that? But if they ask it then it's out there somewhere.

    I don't really get it why some people here think banana tastes awful..Banana is great, and I don't think it slows our weight loss..
    Anyway, my list of 5 foods to never eat (snce its dangerous to wieght loss):
    1. Mc Donalds
    2. Mc Donalds
    3. Mc Donalds
    4. Mc Donalds
    5. Mc Donalds

    It's hard to avoid Mc Doncalds since it's just 300m from my residences, but since I join MFP I realized that it's one of those 'killers' to weight loss program

    Bread, Pasta and White rice. Especially white rice sits on the lining of your tummy.....Get rid of sugar drinks. Good Luck.


    I THOROUGHLY blew this one last night!!! LoL! Boo Hiss at myself! :noway: :grumble:

    Yeah, sorry--I will never, ever, ever give up pasta or bread or rice. I did switch to whole wheat bread,pasta, and rice a long time ago--all in moderation;)

    Hi there. Where are you seeing these reports for sale? There is so much free (and accurate) information on the internet. I would start with Dr. Oz's book, YOU on a Diet. Or check out his web site. I would have to say that the top five foods never to eat are:
    1. High Fructose Corn Syrup
    2. Trans Fats (hydrogenated fat)
    3. enriched flour
    4. saturated fat (limit intake)
    5. sugar (limit intake)

    And I know Oz has info about foods that help eliminate belly fat. Green tea comes to mind. My best advice is to go to his site and do a search. Good luck!

    If these are the foods to NEVER eat, why is "limit intake" in there. Just wondering...because then it should say "3 to NEVER eat and 2 to kinda eat..."

    there are some conditions that pregnant women get where they want to eat dirt, soap and cat litter and it's supposed to be treated early on. It means you're lacking in certain minerals.

    Yeah I understand but the mental pic was NOT PRETTY> especially having to deal with cat litter. Oh and my hubby changed it when I was pregnant.

    actually, i got a list of foods that will prevent you from losing weight from my doctor this week, and bananas is one of them.

    They are relatively high in sugar (NATURAL sugars) and pretty high in calories but they aren't going to make you gain weight any more than anything else. It's all about moderation and your specific activity level. ANY food will make you gain weight if you aren't using the energy it's providing in the form of calories, carbs and proteins.

    I've never heard this before? Did your doctor say why? I usually eat a banana once a day. I'm interested to learn why.

    It`s calorie counting...so nothing is off limits as long as you work it in to your days calories?

    You can always cut your banana in half/quarter just slice it while it is in the skin and it will keep fresh for a couple of days

    I eat 2 bananas a day on average, sometimes 3. I have lost 45.6 pounds.

    Just think how much you might have lost without those pesky bananas :mad:

    lol, leave the bananas alone, they are actually highly recommended! And if you think you can't eat bananas because they have to much of a nutritional intake... don;'t you ever dare eating nuts lol There is no such thing as magic food solutions. What works for one doesn't work for another one. It's all about the balance and about finding out what your body can cope with.
    Take for example, everyine talking about how good tofu is, beans and pulses. If I eat that stuff my appendix hates me for at least three days ^^
