Bananas are NOT a low carb food

[chycky 671]

Love it.

Yes bananas are on my soft food as well in 2 oz portion and I like to have a fruit or veg now and then

I do agree not same as Oreo but I appreciate the nutrition reminder as well because it is good to make comparisons when choosing between foods. Esp helpful for those who don't use apps.

For me tracking keeps me aware and honest to myself.

Yup. I just think @@OutsideMatchInside 's point is some carbs affect our bodies the same way. Sugar is sugar is sugar. And she's totally correct.

I posted a TED Talk video in another thread about how carbs affect our bodies. Very informative.

I'm in no way opposed to doing research -- I do it all the time -- but not when it's someone else's.

I am just waiting for someone to post that they make banana smoothies and drink it through a straw .

Oh, let the old walruses put straws up their noses. Why is the topic always volatile? Do what you want, straw or no, and shut up.

Naaah, just the Status Quo for her.

She reminds me of Dennis Miller in the way she has to try to make herself look intellectually superior.

Except Dennis Miller is sometimes actually funny.

I am sure she is very intelligent, based upon her writings.

[gowalking 10,790]

Sometimes I'm blown away by the lack of understanding about even basic nutrition. Especially by people who have had major surgery to deal with their obesity issues.

Hi Babbs! Glad to see you posting. BTW...per this thread, I know bananas are not the best choice, but every once in a while with my Cereal...bananas are good.

You can't have it both ways. Either she's not acting like herself or this is her status quo.

She doesn't "...[have] to try make herself look" anything. Complaints about her mode of expression, thought process and personality should be addressed to her parents, teachers and others who had a hand in her upbringing.

Thank you for proving my point.

Yes, you are quite intelligent, based upon your writings. But this is not the forum to teach proper diction.

Perhaps you can profess your self-perceived intellectual superiority on the MENSA forum?

A sign of a much higher level of intelligence or even an aptitude in the written language, is not having to profess it at every opportunity someone gets or a futile attempt to make someone appear inferior.

Rampant hormones happens with rapid weight loss.

I think too much estrogen is flowing instead of testosterone in me right now. I feel like watching the Oxygen Network and crying.
