Hey /fit/, I'm trying to lose weight right now 'cause I'm 22lbs overweight. What I'm doing is eating about half of what I normally would consume during meal times and as much as possible avoid eating dinner. But I'm used to eating a lot of junk foods in between meals and I'm trying to replace them with bananas because it easily relieves my craving. So in a day I eat about 4-5 bananas, been doing this for a couple of days now. Is this a good idea? Pic related.
Bump for bananas! lol
Its better, but they are high calorie, low cal rice cakes. NOW.
Avoiding dinner is a stupid fucking idea, you're lowering your metabolism.Fruit are good when cutting in moderation, but they're full of sugar. Instead of eating snacks, just eat six meals a day.
Bananas are pretty high in energy for being a fruit. I guess you could start out like that, but don't miss dinner. Try to to cut down to 2-3 bananas max a day.
the shit is B-A-N-A-N-A-S
Reducing calorie intake often has an inverse effect for weight loss. Just figure out how many calories you need daily, and make sure to actually exercise.
>>127146Indeed, 100gs of banana is 92c, other fruits such as apples (59c), oranges (47cc) are better, mainly if you are going to eat many a day, which makes the differences more relevant (e.g. four bananas: 368c, four apples: 236c).
Stupid idea. read up on how your body works. It will store all the food as fat. Your best bet is to eat small servings of healthy food about 5x a day and do some moderate exercise.
The fucker just basically admitted to eating a bunch of shit, and you're telling them cutting down on it is going to store as fat. Fucking noobs.
What about potassium overload due to too many bananananananas?I mean, I know you can die from eating too much of any food, but I thought it happened quicker with Bananas.Also, I'm not saying you're all of a sudden going to die. I just want to know the details.
>>127340Youd have to eat a fuckton of bananas and it depends on your baseline potassium levels. But too much potassium fucks up your cardiac function and may cause vertigo and hypotension or just general malaise.
>>127347or cause you to go into cardiac arrest if your potassium levels stay too high too long. Welcome to your early heart attack.Take magnesium as well if you're taking a lot of potassium, read up on the benefits of both of them together
