Is the amount of bananas i consume normal?

I eat one bunch of bananas per day, which is roughly 1 kg. Sometimes, I eat more. According to Wikipedia, "In countries such as Uganda, Burundi, and Rwanda per capita consumption has been estimated at 45 kilograms (99 lb) per year, the highest in the world.". Does anyone else eat this much?

    Too much of anything is not good for you.Hell, even too much water can kill you.
    You'll need to contact a nutritionist to answer your question, but I believe you are probably not getting some things your body requires, if bananas are your primary food.

    There's this Aussie guy on YouTube, he posts a lot of fake stuff with dramatic titles to bring in the views, he is on a diet for eating very large amounts of bananas per day. Consuming high levels of potassium, apparently, will make your body radioactive - so sayeth a YT user in one of his video's comment sections.

    I've heard the amount of potassium in 7 bananas is enough to kill a person, if ingested in relatively short time intervals.

      I have met the 2 people responsible for starting the whole 30 bananas a day thing. Friends of friends. BTW they are totally up themselves. It's a crock.

      O_e

      The amount of calories and sugar in 30 bananas a day would probably make a person gain more weight than lose it. I'm sick just thinking about it.

        It's some crock of poop called a "mono diet."

        Apparently, according to bullshit internet "science," your body stops being able to digest a certain food over and over, so eventually you just poop it out without digesting it. People do it with chocolate : |

        It's another unhealthy crash diet thing.

          So by consuming these bananas, they're like fucking up their metabolism by not even taking in the calories? Damn.

        Seriously, can anyone even eat that many in a day?? If you're awake for 16 hours that's like one every 30 minutes. Ugh, no way! Why do people buy into this bullshit?!

          People buy into it because they're either desperate or stupid. lol

      Holy shit, as much as I enjoy that fruit, I'd get very sick of eating THAT many per day!

    A big bunch of bananas is like 2000 calories, which, if you're a girl, would be more than your recommended daily allowance.

    Weird. You may have a serious potassium overload.

    I tried to see if it is possible because i was intrigued.
    Result: it most certainly is.

    I like to get bananas at the grocery store when I go, but if I get more than 3 or 4 I won't eat them before they go bad. I usually eat one (two at most) per day when I get them.

    I think if I lived somewhere that bananas were grown I'd probably eat them much more frequently. I don't know If I'd eat one whole bunch per day though, that seems like a LOT!

      Try freezing or drying the rest.

    That's too much sugar. Perhaps you should cut back to one or two a day?

    I'm sure you get nature calling a lot. Just guessing though.

    if there is no downside , I would say keep doing it . It is an odd amount though to eat this per day every day .

    Lies. That's a bit excessive, hmm? Though I do keep oodles of sliced bananers in my freezer.

        It...appeels to you, does it? ;) I do it for smooooothies. One of my faves is chocolate almond milk, naners, and sometimes a lil peanut or almond butter. Yum!
