    I would have to smother them in peanut butter.

    peanut butter fixes EVERYTHING

    Am I the only one that likes bananas with sour cream. For me, sour cream fixes everything. Almost. And when sour cream doesn't work, butter usually does. :happy:

    My mom used to give me cottage cheese with sour cream, and a banana cut up in it, so I think I could do that. Crafty's right, though. Peanut butter fixes everything. Except for the Walden Farms marshmallow "fluff". Even peanut butter couldn't save that.

    And cauliflower. Nothing can fix cauliflower.

    If cheese doesn't fix it for you, then cream of cauliflower soup with hot sauce. Or cheese and hot sauce. :smile:

    Isn't that the diet that landed Ashton Kutcher in the hospital?

    Thanks to MFP, I may never buy cauliflower again!

    Too many bananas can kill you because it causes an imbalance of electrolytes from all the potassium. I think it is something like 7 bananas a day that could do it, which seems a decent amount to eat if that is all you are eating.

    That's not true, to get an electrolyte imbalance from eating bananas you should eat more than 100 bananas in 30 seconds, which is impossible. Durianrider and Freelee are living proof that fruitarian diet is not that bad for you, but i agree that it can be a bit extreme to eat only bananas for a long period of time and i would personally go sick from eating bananas, but sometimes i do have like 8 bananas for lunch or dinner if i don't have time to cook anything :)

    People die from only stuffing themselves with bananas. Your potassium skyrockets, you go into arrythmias and you most definitely can die from those arrythmias.

    OMG I don't care what the internet says, I work in ICU and I have seen several cases over the years of ONLY banana consumption. IF you ONLY eat bananas, you are asking for trouble. Just don't do it. It is unhealthy and unsustainable and it MAY kill you.

    Why in the world you just want to eat bananas for a diet? Can you say b-o-r-i-n-g! Why can't you just eat some of your favorite foods in smaller portions, weigh your food on a scale, and get more of a balanced diet than eating all bananas?

    I hear if you do this for two months you turn into a monkey....but one month you will lose fat, gain muscle, and lose body fat% ...

    I personally prefer the cabbage diet but that is just me...

    We used to have a guy that worked in our office, he would eat 5 bananas before about 2pm. Then he would fart and send the rest of us running for our lives :/

    I've heard you can lose 10lbs if you cut off your head... actually I think I might try that.
