    I loves my bananas, especially with a tablespoon of peanutbutter (oh wait, I'm not supposed to eat that either :laugh: )

    are you supposed to weigh your banana after peeling it or before peeling it?

    if you weigh it before, you have to eat the peel

    It's the bananas that say don't eat the bananas, just self preservation.:happy:

    I always thought it was the monkeys trying to hoard all the bananas for themselves

    I love bananas, especially on cereal or by themselves with a tbsp of peanut butter. I have also lost over 100 lbs total.

    I love them and I do eat them, but they do have more calories then most fruit, and are high in carbs.....

    Bananas are good for you (potassium), but they contain ALOT of sugar--just stay within what your food plan allows :)

    Banana's are fine :)

    They are just a heavy carb and calories item, I will eat 1/2 - 1 full medium/large size banana a day inside a smoothie, I try to limit it as the cals from a banana add up fast and I am also trying very hard to keep my carb count down.

    :flowerforyou: The peel is bad for you. Just eat the middle, you'll be fine

    Eat bananas if you like them and if you don't have blood sugar issues. But watch out for the crunchy ones. :sick:

    Many good reasons why to eat a bannana as others have pointed out, but it comes down to your calorie count.myself I love bananas especially with peanutbutter, but then again I burn a lot of calories so I dont worry to much about my calorie limit.

    Congrats on loosing that much weight in 2 weeks (12lbs in 2 weeks!). If i were you, i would double check my diet because loosing too much weight like that would mean that you are loosing mucle mass as well...many experts wouldn't recomended loosing more than 2 pounds in a week. when you first start out and have a lot of BF to loose, this is okay but when your body fat is around 15%, loosing that much in week won't be too healthy for you.

    As for eating bananas or any whole fresh fruits, they're all good. The only key to any fat lost (which in turn casue weight loss) is to have a calories defict...eating less calories than you burn in a day is the only way to loose fat/weight...simple like that...The truth is, it doesn't matter what type of food you eat, as long as you keep at a calories defict, you will loose fat/weight...although i wouldn't recommended eating ice creams or pizza all day...that's won't be healthy in the long run.

    First time I have heard about it. If it doesn't come from you doctor or nutritionist, I would think it is probably bad advice. Also barring you don't have a medical condition.

    Bananas are wonderful! I eat them as a dessert occasionally.

    ^^:laugh:

    I wouldn't eat a ton of them, but I eat a banana every day or two myself. They are nutritious and cheap, compared to other fruits.
