ripe banana = diet setback?
Replies

The more ripe a banana is the higher sugar content, better to eat when it still has a little green on the outside.0

They're just trying to stop people eating bananas so that they can have all the bananas to themselves. What greedy people!0

No one gets fat from eating fruit. I eat a lot of fruit. The more fruit I eat, the more weight I lose. I also find bananas are more filling than some other fruits. I'm also diabetic and my sugar levels are pretty much always looking good.0

bananas are neither harmful NOR or they the magical food that many people seem to believe. They are higher calorie, higher carb, higher sugar than most things.
If you want to devote that many calories to your daily total, that's up to you. But dont eat them because you think they are super healthy or something like that. They are ok, and thats it.
They are better than ok. Bananas are *almost* the best fruit out there. I give slightly higher props to seedless red grapes. The best bet is to mix bananas and strawberries though.

I didn't know this about the sugar content, but I always liked my bananas more firm.... If they start to get the brown spots on the peel, well someone else gets to eat it ha ha!0 -
I don't know about the rest of you, but I didn't get fat from eating too many bananas. Just sayin.0

I actually watched the presentation from the ad sight. Funny thing is, bananas were not on the do not eat list. :laugh:0

I think you would be in the bathroom too often and that would be discouraging enough before you could ever eat enough to become obese. If i eat more than one, then it's bathroom time! More than two and WATCH OUT! CLEAR THE ROOM! :laugh:
Beer and chocolate is what helped me become obese. (And and sitting around on my *kitten*!)0 -

beer or bananas...the point is it was too many calories that made you obese, not one type of drink or food
the calories in bananas will have the same effect as the calories in beer if they are in excess of what you need0 -
My Dad always said you never see any fat monkeys
Also I always hur hur hur at women eating them - yes im a child0 -
AAAACK did anyone see that banana the week he got eyes, a whole face, and did a little jig, then pointed to his banana crotch? AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO SAW THIS?!?!?!0

I use bananas in my morning smoothies too with a scoop of protein powder. Do you know you can freeze them. I wait til they are alittle ripe then freeze to make my smoothie alittle thicker like a shake. I agree with the above post, just to get your attention. .0

Very true and I can't argue that. However, how many obese people sit down and gorge on bananas?? Replace the word banana with oreo and you have a likely scenario.
To the OP: if you like bananas, eat a banana! Remember moderation and track it in your calories and macros. Plus you get the nutritional benefits of a whole food versus something processed.0 -
I eat bananas most days, But then I have only lost 68lbs so far, so what would I know :bigsmile:
Brilliant comment! Yeah, don't listen to anyone about "wrong" foods. If you're counting the calories in them, and you're hitting your goal, enjoy whatever you want!0 -
The ad is full of crap.
Bananas are WIN
add PB and mouthgasm ensues.

Step 1 - Find a food you can make people afraid of !
Step 2 - Advertise how evil said food is, and offer a secret alternative in the form of a powder/cleanse/shake
Step 3 - Gangnam Style
Step 4 - Deposit your riches.
