Not me personally, but this girl...she is bananas!

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2601633/I-eat-51-bananas-day-Self-proclaimed-diet-guru-claims-toned-physique-MOUNTAINS-fruit-eats-single-meal-time.html

I'm sure there are plenty of healthy people who follow a raw vegan diet and after a lot of research eat as varied and widely as possible to get all their nutrients and it's a shame people like this come along! And worrying she has such a following!

How can she actually eat this many calories and be stick thin..it defies science! And her advice to pack in lots of carbs?! Craaaazy.

    She actually works out so much that she can eat that much. If you'd burn 3000 in the gym, you could eat that much as well ;)

    Indeed. This kind of thing is disastrous. To make people think that they can eat all that sugar and lose weight.

    I think I prefer eating my full fat meals, never feeling hungry and going out on Bushwalks because I enjoy nature, not eating low fat, being hungry and spending half the week in the gym trying to burn all the carbs off.

    I think I read somewhere that she is a long distance cyclist... which explains why she can eat all those carbs.

    She is a complete whacko and I wouldn't recommend that anyone survive on just fruit.

    Telling people that they can eat limitless fruit and lose weight is complete nonsense and irresponsible at best.

    This is why the context by which she is able to eat this much is key. Not just. Omg, look at this girl eat 51 bananas (sounds kinky).

    I love bananas...but there are definitely other things I could spend like 5,000 calories on...like a steak...and some ice cream...A pizza

    On a smaller scale, though, I can kinda see the light at the end of all those bananas.

    Eating more whole foods is great for you. I've upped my intake of them myself, and it has worked wonders on my mood/energy and my weight loss. So I get her drift. Kinda.

    Love bananas, they are nature's snack bars. Prepacked, individually wrapped and full of energy. That said I would NEVER eat 51... 2 is usually more than enough and that's on an active gym day...

    Don't hate! She just loves the look and feel of a large banana! I bet she just consumes them by sliding them right down her throat, no chewing! Kinda like that Chinese dude who won the hot dog eating competition.

    If I remember right, Ashton Kutcher was hospitalized after trying to transition into an all-fruit diet. I believe it was severe nutrient deficiency or something. Either way, you know that she has to be just sh$#@^*g it all out any way. Did you see her stomach after eating her smoothie!! Her body is clearly telling her this is not what it wants:sick:
