Jennifer...about eating two bananas and an avocado daily.......

February 26, 2006

Jennifer,

It may inhibit losing weight. I'm no expert, but I think that It depends on

what else is eaten through out the day and how active one is. If you are getting

an adequate amounts of exercise, and eating lots of different fruits and

vegetables, 2 bananas and an avocado may be fine.

I personally think that you should try to switch things around, and not have a

banana or avocado EVERY DAY. See how you do both ways...and take it from there.

Maybe you can handle more, or should have less, depending on how your body

responds. Young Coconuts and nuts are also good for fat/energy, but too many

will increase the weight gain (this is my experience at least). If you want to

lose weight, you probably need to try to have more veggies, and then second,

fruit. I'm in the same boat as you...I'm trying to lose weight. I think i need

to cut back on fruit and nuts. I'm still trying to figure it out...lol! Hope

that helps.......

Hi Jen,

This is going to be more difficult than I thought! I've been eating a few

bananas a day because they're just so easy and portable. And as I mentioned

earlier, I don't like salads - adding sliced avocado to it is about the only

way I will eat them! I just don't find veggies appetizing without some form

of fat with them. I want to lose weight, but I also don't want to go into

starvation mode - I'm worried that I wouldn't get enough calories and fat

without the avocados. And avocados provide me with the " substance " that I

feel I miss without any meat or pasta/potatoes/rice.

Jennifer,

I understand how you enjoy having bananas and avocados. They are filling,

you're absolutely right. How about having two of each per day and seeing how you

do? Its important that you're getting enough to eat.

What about eating apples (good fiber), smoothies and juices (quick energy and

nutrition w/o overworking your system). How about making raw crackers ahead of

time and eating those as a " portable " food. Go online and see what dishes you

could make that aren't " salads. " " Raw food, real world " is a great book. Eating

often (to keep your metabolism going), Drinking lots of water, going to the

bathroom (# 2 - sorry for being so technical), and exercising will help keep

weight off. Give it time. Good luck!!!
