    I just recently added them back into my diet because I was getting lots of cramps in my toes. I eat one a day and they have not stalled my weight loss. They are so yummy!! I look forward to my bananna in the afternoons to give am a little boost.

    Just put it in your mouth to get a taste and then take it back out if you are really craving one

    Do bananas hinder weight loss?

    How many are you planning to eat? I hear that if you juice them first, you can pour them thru an old T-shirt and strain out the calories without actually removing any of the nutrition....

    Like a plantain? Plantains are usually more girthy but I think you could get away with it, yes.

    I was more thinking something with cream filling.

    Hi! Bananas are not going to hinder your weight loss. The banana is full of potassium as well as other important nutrients and a natural sugar. Whole foods including fresh fruits and vegetables are the best way to achieve your weight loss goals. There is nothing ever wrong with eating fruits and vegetables, it's all in how you prepare them such as frying, that can be bad. I eat a banana every morning with a bowl of homemade oatmeal for breakfast and no problems here.

    I have bananas everyday and I am losing weight. I also eat peanut butter every day and that is also said to be bad. At least I will be skinnier when I die, apparently.

    Not unless you top it with ice cream and chocolate sauce.

    They won't hinder your weight loss as long as you make them fit into your calorie/macro goals for the day.

    bananas are good for you

    however I rarely eat them because my kids eat them all before I get a chance to

    this is what happens in my house too
