30 bananas a day for 7 days diet

He won't die from it, but he'll definitely be screaming in the bathroom.

[MajorTwang]

sounds legit. since there is a 1% difference between chimp and human chromosome, this diet should be 99% effective for humans right?

You'd be surprised how much meat your average chimp eats. Insects, lizards, monkeys - their natural diet is around 10-20% protein.

[almighty.zer]

what the ****, i don't think my walmart has that many bananas.

[knockoutkid]

This is the most AMAZING thread i have ever read! I am faling off my chair in work reading this.

There should be some sort of funniest thread award on the internet

Seconded. They routinely eat protein in their diet. Pretty much whatever they can find around them which includes other chimps from neighboring territories. I hate the people that think chimps are cute and astonished when they attack and maul someone. You have more of a chance getting killed by a chimp than a gorilla. But not trying to hijack this thread.

Bananas all day, every day = stupid idea. But if people are dumb enough to follow these fad diets there are people willing to make them pay a **** ton of money to learn the "secrets" of the diet.

I used to eat 3+ a banana's a day and within 2-3 weeks i was suffering from legitimate potassium poisoning. Tell him to read up on the symptoms and to keep an open eye for them if he plans to do this.

From what I've read and been told by doctor's and other health enthusiasts is that the high level of potassium throws off your body's ability to absorb electrolytes.

See now, this is why I eat at least one chimp a week. Gets my fill of carbs right there...

[mattdorner]

30 Bananas and 12 rolls of toilet paper a day. Why do that to himself?

[stancel]

they don't just eat bananas this is how they eat... (I'm not one of them but I know a lot about them)

[spicyprice]

this thread needs an update from OP.

if OPs brother is still talking to him

[Wtf?]

I posted that site on here before for lulz. It's not a 7 day diet though, those people do it for life. I know a lot about the raw food world and respect some of them..but others are just ridiculous and extreme.

BRB. I have to post a pic of the ugly **** who made up the 30 bananas a day diet.

[Oscarizo]

He should eat slot of salt and acouple multi vitamins to even out his electrolyte balances, or his potasium surplus can cause serious harm.

[stancel]

it's called the 80-10-10 diet
it stands for 80% carb, 10% fat , 10% protein

That was the original one. The 30 bananas a day thing is a spin off.

So he never did go through with it...I quoted some of the responses on here and he just said I'm a dick. I also sent him some of the pics and gifs you guys posted and he got pretty upset. Anyway...he never did it and never talked about it again. He goes through these stupid things all the time. He went from vegetarian, to vegan, to raw food, etc, but he never actually sticks with it more than a week...lol. He also does this with working out. He falls for gimmicks like the ab lounge and it ends up never being used. He just bought an iron gym chinup bar which I gave him credit for as long as he uses it...he never did. I told him "dude, when you want to get serious and dedicated, let go of your pride and I'll come up with a solid nutritional plan and workout plan for you" But he just ignores me.

1 banana ~400mg potassium
30 bananas ~ 12g of potassium. The LD50 of Potassium Chloride for rats is 2.6g per kilo, which works out 1.4g per kilo, or something like 100g for a normal sized bloke.

Potassium chloride ≠ potassium.

[Mirabelle]

This is by far the dumbest fad I have ever seen... and quite possibly dangerous.

[JSN92]

You can overdose on potassium from eating that many bananas...

[Muska28]

Don't worry, its not me, its my retarded brother who goes through fad diets every couple months, vegan, raw food, vegetarian, you name it. Now he's telling me that I know nothing about nutrition (I'm 12 bf%) and workout 6 days a week. He doesn't do any activity and is mildly obese), and he's gonna do this 30 bananas a day diet for 7 days. I try explaining insulin, glucose, and other stuff like that, he doesn't listen.

So...help me with this argument, any scientific links good too. Thanks!

I didn't read any other posts so sorry if its been said, but theres lots of potassium in bananas so you should check if potassium in high amounts is dangerous.

[winjones]

Wouldn't eating all that fruit make you **** a heap as well?

HAHAH NO WAY BRAH!! this dude is gonna be soooo constipated! I'm a phucking vegetarian and I refrain from eating even 4 bananas a day!

This diet is maddd funny let him do it.

OP get some before and after pics

[Wtf?]

This is the guy behind it.

[weakguy]

how stupid, this is the reason i made my webiste lol

it's shocking people actually try this stuff.

[TickleMyPeon]

This guy disagrees with you and only eats bananas

[hydraides]

That fella is in desperate need of some female company

[anFranchise]

That is approximately three times the recommended dosage of daily intake of potassium (4.7g daily), so I don't think there is too much "severe risk." The only life-threatening opportunity I can think of would be hyperkalemia (or potassium poisoning) which just seems highly unlikely.

So, I say let the ****er go head and do it. He is probably going to be starving all day regardless of the fact he is taking in around 3,000 Cals, he'll probably never want to eat a banana again after the week, and any attempt at muscle growth/preservation or fat loss will be chalked down as a massive failure.

Btw, let him know he is "nutritionally-retarded."

EDIT:

The average banana has about 400mg of potassium, at 30 bananas a day that is roughly 12g per day. The recommended dietary intake is 4.7g of potassium per day, which is more than a third of what he'd be digesting. Maintaining this for a lengthy period of time may not be the best idea (for more reasons that just potassium), but I doubt his potassium intake will become an issue unless he has had kidney problems in the past.

[reicherts78]

LOLZ, I didn't think this thread would get so popular...I want to show him this thread but I think he would probably be really pissed...

[desslok]

.I want to show him this thread but I think it would drive him bananas... <cymbal crash>

Fixed

[RawFitBitch]

best site ever!

[UrBro]

I was eating like 10-20 bananas a day along with bowl of apples, meat, eggs and **** without much bread. But I was doing pushups and chinups for like 1-2 hours a day and walk alot. Did stay ripped but still wasnt enuff to mantain.

[XShreddedX]

I love bananas in fact i eat 1-2 every single day, but i couldn't even fathom eating 10 bananas a day, let alone 30
