Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / March 2007Banannas
As I let maintenance lead me astray, I thought bananas might be a good choice for a carb. My grandmother used to talk about the potassium in them. I like bananas, and they can be very convenient (by coming with a natural protective wrapper/peel). HOWEVER, in the re-kindling of carb cravings, I think bananas were a serious cause of trouble. This time I'm not going to go bananas. Cubit 190/174/160 > As I let maintenance lead me astray, I thought bananas might be a good > choice for a carb.

If you're going that far, who needs the strawberries? ;-)  SignatureBob in CT > As I let maintenance lead me astray, I thought bananas might be a good > choice for a carb.

The Banana Council must have the best marketing department in history. They're almost nothing but bags of sugar, but people talk about them like they're a multi-vitamin that grows on trees. I've even heard them called "the perfect food." I guess it goes to show: if you repeat something in enough commercials, people will eventually believe it.

According to the USDA website, a cup of brocolli has almost as much potassium as a medium banana. |
