Anyone eat bananas?

[P-funk]

pfft fine do what ever makes you happy. The only sugar you should be consuming thou are the ones from milk.

you should probably just stop posting about anything nutrition related...you really say some of the dumbest shit i have ever read.

LMAO... i actually laughed when I read that fruits are useless. Its a good thing most people on this site take everything with a grain of salt... I guess you know, before we had supplements, and had protein shakes, and creatine, and vitamin c,d,b12,safsdfdf pillsm, Men before us just didnt eat anything, because fruits are bad. Yeaaaaaaaaap that sounds just about right. Oh, and water actually is bad for glycogen levels...avoid it....seriously.

... and if you look at some of the bodybuilders from the 30s, 40s, and 50s for example, you will see where it all has gone. At that time, bodybuilding meant to sculpt your body, which is how I understand this sport. Today, it mostly means looking like Hulk - except for the color. Just look at famous Ronald Coleman - I don't think I would like to be such a monster.

I personally don't eat them too often, just once in a while, then it's in my shakes...

havnt eaten fruit in years. Thouse satan sugars raise triglyceride levels. Plus their gay fructose carbs dont inlisit an insulin response and are stored in ur liver. Fruit=useless. "Take in what is useful, disgard what is not" -Bruce Lee

"Gay fructose carbs" "Thouse satan sugars" very technical medical terminology, obviously this kid has a PHD.... Listen to him, he knows his shit

For the moron who says people have a hard time losing weight with dairy id like to point out that dairy calcium has been proven to aid in fat loss.
Oh and Lamo u ass, i do know my shit.

Ok jackass, unlike you I will provide a little thing called "research" to back up my points.

Calcium and Dairy Acceleration of Weight and Fat Loss during Energy Restriction in Obese Adults -- Zemel et al. 12 (4): 582 -- Obesity

Now I'm sure you being the asshole you are only read the title and thought "LOL I R RITE!". If you bother to read the study, you might find that they come to the conclusion that it is a combination of the whey protein and calcium that provide the benefits in question.

This is further supported by this study: Role of calcium and dairy products in energy partitioning and weight management -- Zemel 79 (5): 907S -- American Journal of Clinical Nutrition


Now as we can see in a different article:
AGA | Patient Center | Digestive Conditions | Lactose Intolerance
A LARGE percentage of people are lactose intolerant which may or may not result in difficulty with weight loss, it is dependent on a person's genetics.

Therefore, the optimal solution is to supplement with both calcium and a whey protein isolate in order to optimize the beneficial effects while minimizing the potential downfalls of raw dairy products.


Oh by the way if you did any research at all, there are also several very recent articles on American Journal of Clinical Nutrition questioning whether the research done on this topic is even valid as they are having difficulty replicating the results claimed from earlier studies.

I eat 1-2 per day. In the morning I either have a glass of OJ or a banana, and I always put one in my post workout shake.

Speaking of brewers yeast doesn't that give you the shits if eaten? I know with non filtered beers if you drink the yeast that settles at the bottom it makes me gassy and shit bad all over.

Clearly...

I can also see your quite clever with that Lamo comment, very impressive

Fructose IS a poor quality sugar in numerous ways, however fruits have other goodies worth having, especially if you pick your fruits carefully (pun stumbled into rather than intended!)

Yes, nanas are great for post-workout shakes or early mornings, I wouldn't take em late at night though, not least because they'll wake you up for a pee and the sugar content is high.

Tip: if you peel em first, you can freeze a bunch. Don't peel em and they go black and horrid. In my experience blenders love frozen bananas; they chop better without glooping at the bottom.

*ducks to avoid some of the flames flying around on this thread*

I like em. I usually eat one with an orange every day.

Why would a banana do this more than any other fruit

 

[Biggly]

Off the top of my head I can't remember if it's the high potassium or magnesium content but nanas are a laxative and diuretic. Potassium I think as it controls sodium (salt) levels and in turn blood pressure.

Basically they make you pee, more so than most other fruits, though they are not the highest source of potassium, I think apricots are a lot higher. Spuds (potatos) are high too, as are most beans.

Potassium is handy for bodybuilding as it helps with muscular contraction and glycogen storage, so topping up after a workout is a good idea. The fruit sugar however can near-instantly turn to fat so post-workout yes, late night snack, no.
