Question

I am convinced something is terrible wrong with me I ate 6 ripe bananas this morning I have 6 more and I am having a really hard time avoiding them. How bad is this for me

Answer 1

I love bananas so I only buy two or three maximum at anytime. One green, one half green and one ready to eat. I hate green bananas so they sit until they are ripe. So one/day is the max I can have. If I had more at home I would likely eat more.

Low potassium doesn’t make you crave bananas . it makes you a very low heart rate , thirsty , , anxiety etc

From what I've been told in the past, 1 banana a day is perfect.

Answer 15

You can slice the banana and freeze. Munch on them like candy.

Love frozen banana especially with PB2 on top

Answer 17

Too much of anything is never a good thing

Bananas have 14 grams of sugar

Answer 19

You may get sick of bananas soon

Answer 20

If i were you I wouldn't buy them any more, that will help you more than restricting yourself

Answer 21

Approx 90 calories x 6 = 540 carlories and 84 grams of sugar. I would cut it out. Rather have a some protein.  

Answer 22

The worst part will be trying not to get constipated! Get some fiber!  

Answer 23

Wow. a part of me wondered if this was a joke. But if it's real, make your limit ONE BANANA per day with three servings max of fruit. Even on WW, natural sugar is sugar. Overeating anything is bad for you.  

Answer 24

Having an evaluation with a professional might help you with a solution.

Too much potassium and sugar are not good for your health. If diabetic only a half of a banana is recommended.

My doctor told me only 1 banana a day.

@slowpoke extremely bad advice . dangerous infact . try googling high potassium and then think about your comment .  

---

@steeple That is only if you have a kidney issue. Your kidneys will get rid of excess potassium if they are working fine. So, only bad advice if you decide to eat the truck load without the advice of a doctor.  

---

@escarpment56035ten Gelagotis-Cyr excuse me I do not have kidney problems but have suffered in the past with high and low potassium. I take Sando -k some times , other times I’m hospitalised to ensure they can get my potassium levels down . this is due to Crohns Disease not Kidney disease

---

@steeple That's why I said it is bad advice only when you don't talk to a doctor. No one should be getting medical advice from a facebook group.  

---

@steeple But I will say, I am surprised that your disease also caused high potassium. Urinary potassium is a marker for these types of bowel disease because of increased secretion. Generally you have lower absorbtion of things like sodium and calcium and increased secretion of potassium.  

Answer 34

Try taking extra vitamin c and iron.  

Answer 35

It's better than 6 chocolate bars. if you eat them then you dont see them as tabu and your craving will cease. I'm allergic to bananas and cannot even eat one. Once you get your fill of the bananas, your focus will be off of them. Their not going to hurt you. So talk to your doctor and make sure your not short of a vitamin. They can do test, sounds like your folic may be low but I'm not a doctor and dont claim to be. Just go find out. You'll be okay.  

Answer 36

I knew someone rushed to the hospital because they ate too many bananas in one day and their potassium level went through the roof and they were rushed to the hospital. They came close to death. Please just limit yourself.  

Answer 37

It’s not a whole  pie!  

Answer 38

Ripe banana too much sugar but thats a-lot of bananas for one day

Answer 39

You should check with your doctor make sure your kidneys are fine. If your kidneys are in good shape, they'll filter out the excess potassium from the bananas. The estimation of how many bananas you would have to eat, with *healthy* kidneys, to get a potassium overdose is more than twelve . Again, healthy kidneys. Don't *assume* your kidneys are fine. That being said, there is the fiber content. So it could cause constipation. Plus bananas are around 90 calories. So eating, say, ten is 900 calories in just bananas. A lot of calories from just one type of food that is going to push out getting nutrition from others. But as always, check with you doctor, not with a group on Facebook to find out what is or isn't healthy for you. Seriously!  

Answer 40

Your body is probably craving potassium go get your blood levels checked

Answer 41

Please get checked for adult onset diabetes. Those bananas are good for potassium, but they spiked your blood sugar levels. Please don’t wait. Get to a doctor immediately.  

Answer 42

You might want to cut it off for today. Not healthy and your bowels may end up screwed up too.  

Answer 43

Never buy 12 bananas

Answer 44

Glad im not the only one!  

Answer 45

Better than 6 cupcakes.
