Really, they are one of the healthiest foods out there and healthier (IMO) than most protein bars, but. I think I'm in ketosis an am striving to eat very low carb. I reeeeeally want a banana. I know I'm low on potassium, maybe I should just get a supplement?

It doesn't help that I have a handful of them getting overripe on my table. Mmmmm bananas.

I had a banana two days ago! Yes Amy I threw caution to the wind, and ate it.

It was good

No one ever became obese or ruined their diet by eating bananas. I say eat one if you are cleared for soft foods.

so why are nanners taboo? It's on my 'avoid' list, but since I'm not crazy about them, I didn't ask.

Did you get the idea from reading my MFP diary with that half a banana and quarter cup of PB2? Sorry if I triggered a craving

Also I have not researched it fully, but Vitamin Water zero the "Revive" flavor has 25% of the RDA of potassium... Regular multi Vitamins only ever give 3% so to find a non perscription non-caloric source of potassium is not easy to do.

It has nothing to do with the sleeve, She's watching her carb intake in order to stay in ketosis. She's taking a ketogenic approach for weight loss.. (think Atkins)

Im 4 weeks out. I have a 1/2 banana every day. Im down 30 lbs. I say go for it!

Sugar free banana syrup and cottage cheese. If you don't have the syrup I believe ou can use extract. Or carbmaster yogurt has a banana cream pie flavor along with strawberry banana flavor

Actually I hadn't seen that on your mfp but that sounds dreally yummy. I don't know of you're against sweeteners, but I put nectresse in my PB2 mixed w almond milk and it was good. That was a preop "dessert". I'm not sure if I'm in ketosis for sure. I'm getting more carbs than I did on Atkins induction. I think a nana won't kill me.

The banana cream pie yogurt sounds yummy.

I'm 6 weeks in. I eat just about anything now.

Laura. So daring.

Bananas are quite healthy, but also pretty high in carbs and my dietician did say it can be a "slider food". Amy, maybe you could avoid breaking ketosis by taking a quarter of a banana and mixing it into something? You might be able to get the satisfaction of the taste, maybe even the texture, without breaking the bank on the carb side. Just a thought...

I'm just wondering who can eat a whole banana? Slider food? Not for me and I've owned this sleeve for almost 11 months. Very, very filling......

Lol! as shocking as it sounds to you, I can eat 1 whole banana!

Umm... Maybe my doctor didn't take out enough of my stomach?

That's horrible! You should sue!

That's horrible! You should sue!

Uh oh, my over ripe bananas are calling me. . . Gotta go!
