Starting Today

Posted by Katy Doyle on September 9, 2014 at 1:59am

Starting today, I am going to try for 5 days on banana island!

I'm still pretty new to HCRV and I love my smoothies, but I think it is time for me to get back to the basics and just eat some fruit! (And I plan on supplementing with lettuce.)

Here are my bananas for the workday - I think this will get me through the day, if I need more I will make sure to bring more tomorrow! I am very excited ^_^

    So far I've been eating watermelon and bananas. Most of my bananas aren't ripe yet so I'm progressing slowly to only bananas. Maybe today they'll be ready I hope. If not I'll be having more watermelon.

    So last night, my final meal for Day 2, I didn't plan ahead well enough. I found myself starving and without any bananas. So I stopped at Chipotle to grab a quick vegan burrito. Well, it made me so sick to my stomach and gassy. I am thinking that it wasn't very vegan. Anyway, lesson learned. Today I feel much better and I might have over packed bananas around with me today. ^_^

      Oh no I hate when I run out of bananas too! Chipotle does have vegan options but they add oil and salt to nearly everything. I always feel sorta bloated after I eat there and I get vegan burrito bowl.

      I wanted to ask... when you supplement with lettuce, do you eat the lettuce between your banana meals? :)

      Good Luck to you!! you're gonna do great!!!

      I use crisp romaine as a snacky thing in between meals usually. Sometimes you need that satisfying crunch, right?

      That's a good idea, I think ill do that also

    Hi Katy! I will be starting banana island as well! My bananas are not ripe at all right now, they're like light green and some yellow, so will probably be ready in a few days, depending on how they ripen. I am so excited! I have been RT4 for about 8 months but want to give my body a cleanse and to speed up my healing process. I have been struggling at a hiatus lately with no ability to lose fat/water unless I calorie restrict, which I DO NOT want to do whatsoever. I am not going on this BI for weight loss though, but maybe some water loss would be good. I do better and feel better on raw, so maybe after BI I will stick to raw, who knows!

    I am going to be eating only bananas, nothing else, though I will be eating a LOT of them, lol. (around 30 a day). It will help my body focus on healing rather than digesting something else with the fruit. I will of course not stick with BI for too long, as I do not want to become mineral deficient. (maybe will do BI for 2 weeks).

    Want to be BI buddies Katy? It would be awesome to encourage each other on our progress and how we feel!

    Those bananas look delish btw!

    -Hannah
