I want a nana so bad. :(

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.

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 :D

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)

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. :D

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!
