    If your talking about freelee, she's low fat raw vegan
  • I don't have a clue, but as soon as someone mentions a banana, I giggle like a 12 year old school girl and then think of "Princess Conseula Banana Hammock".
    Maybe banana girl diet involves wearing a blue and yellow suit, and chasing after dodgy villains.

    The latest and greatest,,,,,,, Ironically I just ate my morning banana, which has nothing to do with this "crash diet"

    Life style change IMO is the way to go,,, that is something once you get it in order and becaomes habit, likely to have a much better track record with it....

    That's it... Lots of cardio chasing dodgy villains...

    Looks like for 30 days you eat 30 bananas a day... That's weird.

    I'm not sure which is worse. I hate bananas, but I also hate the taste of man fat. I'm guessing this is NOT the diet craze for me!

    I ate a banana yesterday for the first time in probably a year or MORE. I have now decided the sugar and carbs are not worth it. I will not be doing that again for a very long time, lol. What's worse is I had it with instant oatmeal(i know, i know) which I haven't had in a year or more. I will not be doing that again for a very long time either, lol. It's just not worth it. I just finished a breakfast which consisted of fresh country pork sausage scrambled into 3 egg whites and one whole egg topped with shredded cheese. YUM, YUM!!!

    don't forget about "Crap bag" if you do, just think of a bag of crap.

    I did a quick google search on this, it doesn't look healthy at all. 30 bananas a day? No wonder this woman had an eating disorder!

    Life style change IMO is the way to go,,, that is something once you get it in order and becomes habit, likely to have a much better track record with it....

    after reading that page, it looks like it's just a spin on 'eat less', slapping a banana on it to give it a label...
    pretty much if you follow the 'don't eat until you're stuffed' - rule, you can ignore the banana :wink:
  • No that's not the same diet as the Banana Girl Diet which is raw vegan high carb low fat.
  • No that's the wrong website.

    It's not a fad diet and it's not a low calorie diet but more a lifestyle diet like vegetarian/ vegan/ wheat free....

    The website '30bananasaday' is for people following the 80/10/10 diet which is high carb raw vegan (80 is the %carbs). If you look on amazon there is a book on 801010 diet which is very good. It explans a lot of the myths like why we don't need as much protein as we think.

    It's a lifestyle that I would love to beable to follow but like chocolate and a few other naughtiest too much but I do eat a high proportion raw and vegan.

    The 30 bananas is what they think you should be eating if you just had bananas. Some people will start the lifestyle just on bananas I think to get into it and keep it simple. Despite what you might think that can give you pretty much everything you need. Get the book or have a look at the forums on the website.

    It is not a diet for weight loss but people often do lose weight, some dont. Even if you don't want to follow it fully which is a big commitment have a bit if a read and try at least introducing more raw food and less processed food/ cooked food, you will definatly feel better for it.

    Another good read is Scott jureks 'eat and run' he is a vegan ultra runner. He talks about his diet and his running, he went raw For a while but think he found it too much hassle but did say he felt better for it. He talks about his recovery being much better since being vegan

    Hellen is right!
    Instead of guessing at things you clearly know nothing about (no offence by the way) why don't you check out the challenge and read the information and files tabs which explain everything... Or check out 30bananasaday.com which also explains it all.
    You can find lots of info on youtube too... Search for videos by freelee, durianriders, liferegenrator, rawfully organic, food and sport, steven crider (he lost 144lbs on a raw vegan lifestyle) there are so many of them out there trying to spread the message to HELP people become healthy, lose weight, get fit etc...
    I suffered bad with acne, migraines, continuously had colds all year round... I've not been on this long but already my skin has cleared, migraines have dramatically decreased, not had a cold since! I wasn't always a vegan! I was brought up to think we "need" animal protein and milk... Now I know better.
    You can eat raw fruits and veggies as they are or make delicious recipes, you'd be surprised at how much variety there actually is on this lifestyle, and how fun it is!
    If you get sick of the yoyo dieting and you want to look into a lifestyle change that is sustainable and will not only reduce the number on the scale but make you healthy on the inside to then check it out, you have nothing to lose but loads to gain.
    Oh and watch a film called forks over knives , 80/10/10 book is really interesting and helpful too...
    Freelee no longer has an eating disorder that was pre raw vegan... Like myself and many MANY others!

    A new 30 day challenge starts on September 1st... If you're curious and want to try it then join the group on facebook, you can join ANY time (women only for the banana girl one) and look at the threads by challengers, We all keep a daily food diary on there make sure we are eating enough calories and share/swap recipes, mentors help everyone out f they're struggling or have any questions... Everyone is really supportive on there and you're never short of inspiration... Come try it, you can "back out" at any time (but I doubt you will want to once you try it) it doesn't cost anything... It's a free support group challenge... Just try to keep your calories up and you will be fine! (And yes you can lose weight even on over 2,500 calories!) I've lost 18inches off my body in almost 3 weeks... (weight is not the best measure of success!).

    Just check it out. see for yourself. :) xx

    If you were to go along with the thoughts that many people have then you would loss weight. That if very low calorie.

    It is not just 30 bananas a day at all... You CAN eat 30 a day if you want it's known as mono eating on "banana island" which can be good for a while for some people...
    We eat LOTS of different fruits, veggies, nuts and seeds... Like this morning I had raspberries, blackberries, blueberries and dates blended for my breakie... I'm going to go and make a banana and cinnamon smoothie in a minute for lunch... Or maybe banana and spinach smoothie.... I love them! You could eat salads... The other day I made raw hummus, from a butternut squash, cumin, lemon juice, ginger, raw tahini and a red pepper... It's not JUST bananas at all... You don't even need to 1 single banana if you do not wish... It's just a name...

    :)

    Becca well done for pointing the forks over knives thing out haha I was distracted by my kids whilst typing lolz corrected now :) xx

    Hey hun I don't really understand what you were trying to say here...?

    I have lost weight... I have done pretty much every diet and had eating disorders on and off (binge/purge mostly although have starved myself a lot in the past) I've done weight watcher, atkins, slimmingworld, the cabbage soup diet, the master cleanse detox, low calories restrictive diets such as diets they say high protein low carbs only.... And yes I have lost a lot of weight on them but as soon as you reach your goal weight and think right I can come off the diet now and eat healthily 2,000 calories a day you gain it all back... Well at least I did and thousands if not more like me!

    Weight as in the number on the scale does not give an accurate account of how your body is slimming down... Water can easily shift weight up and down frequently and put many people off n whatever diet they're on because they see a number not change or it go up 2 pounds and they think their "diet" is not working when it could be 2pound of water or 2 pound of muscle...
    I measure my body each week, as well as weigh, you can also buy a body fat measure thing off amazon which apparently gives a better reading than those electrical one... http://www.amazon.co.uk/Accu-Measure-Fitness-Personal-Tester/dp/B000G7YW74/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1345548838&sr=8-1
    I have lost 18inches in less than 3 weeks, and dropped over a stone but I don't really like to count the weight as already said... I go by my measurements and the clothes sizes going down, and how I feel/look :)

    On 80/10/10 (bananas girl diet uses the 80/10/10 and so does 30bananas a day) you eat 2,500 calories a day! More if you want, there is no restriction! I think freelee eats about 3,000 or some days and she is very slim! She lost 40lbs on this lifestyle (I'm sure it was 40... Might have to double check that, she has vlogs on youtube about it, anyway) You're not calorie restricting on this diet EVER! If you try to you will fail! So because we're NEVER restricting calories any weight we lose stays off for good... Because this is not a diet... It's a lifestyle at the end of the day even though the word diet is used. many people have been on this way of life for over 10 years! Check out food and sport on you tube it has vids of Dr Doug Graham working out, he is no spring chicken he is getting on a bit but I don't know many people that could workout as much as he can... He is uber fit!

    Check this guy out too... www.thefruitarian.com (didn't post links before as wasn't sure it would let me) This guys runs marathons (like many raw vegan/fruitarians).

    Don't make judgments on something unless you have "actually" read up on what it is about, as you could put people off with your misinformed ideas, however if you do read about and decide it's not for you that is fair enough I'm not into trying to force anyone to do anything (freedom of choice and all that) but someone has asked so I'm trying to set the record straight if you get me?
    I'm not going to lie, it isn't "easy" like anything in life, you have to work for it, and if you consume caffeine, salt, and spices etc... you might find it hard weaning yourself off those addictions, in the group on facebook everyone is completely honest about their
    experience, the good, the bad and the ugly... It's not sugar coated to look a certain way.

    I use cronometer to enter my foods in too, and it gives you a brake down of every single vitamin and mineral, proteins, diff types of fat etc... And my vitamins and things are usually reading several hundred percent more than minimum recommended daily targets, I'm happy with it. That's all that matters for me :)
