Banana & 2 fruit island Details (not blogs)

THE OFFICIAL BANANA ISLAND BLOGS CAN BE FOUND BY FOLLOWING THIS THREAD..

Destination:

The beautiful Banana island for many...
Date and banana island for me  :-) Mostly consumed as smoothies

Itinerary:

Arrive Monday 12th April, return 28th April 
(although if trip is going very well may extend)
Others may be already on the Island, we can meet them there...

Things to do on the island: (apart from lots of relaxation)

Record a daily blog on your experience here including how many bananas/or dates you have daily, water intake, exercise, sleep, sunshine and feelings...
Then we can really help eachother if some of us are undereating or dehydrated etc.

Common benefits experienced on the island...
(that may completely heal or start to...)

Chronic fatigue/Adrenal fatigue
* Acne/skin problems
* Blood sugar conditions such as diabetes and candida overgrowth
* Depression/mental disharmony
* Hormonal disturbances
* Weight problems (although focusing on this is not recommended)
* Digestive conditions
* Sinus and mucus problems
* Eating Disorders
& many more…

Extra information & important travel tips...
Get 2 boxes of bananas to start, one ripe one and one with firmish bananas that are slightly under.



Things to consider before visiting Banana island (BI) paradise...Is it the right time for this holiday??

* How you are going to eat after BI? – if you go back to unhealthy eating habits, all your old symptoms will return.
* Being stable on a Low fat raw vegan lifestyle before going on mono-fruit island will increase your chances of long term raw success because generally what peeps eat before the island will be what they eat after the island.
* I don’t advise you visit BI just for weightloss reasons because if you go back to your old way of living that caused the weightgain then the fat will return, a sustainable LFRV plan is needed.
* Make sure you always have ripe fruit or else you will get ravenous and eat whatever is closest.
* Ensure you go to nutridiary.com and work out how many calories you need to maintain your current weight and aim for this with your favourite fruit.
* Keep your water intake up, make sure your pee is always clear, this will ensure optimal results from your trip to the island.
* Start a challenge with your raw friends, get a group together and support eachother throughout your stay.
* During your trip away educate yourself on basic physiology and make sure you are reading ‘ The 80-10-10 Diet’ because this lifestyle should be the goal for when you come off the island (that’s if you want to continue feeling vital)
* Avoid telling mainstream peeps about your holiday to the island until it’s over, others opinions may affect your determination
* Plan your trip in detail before starting, write a list of your goals for going to BI, this will give your subconscious mind a clear objective goal to work towards, visualise how amazing you are going to feel, see yourself all happy and healthy in your mind’s eye.
* Factor in daily exercise, earn your meal but listen to your body if you need rest, take time out whenever needed.
* Prioritise nude sunbaking, this will speed up elimination and also sooth your soul 


Ok so lets all head to the Island together! Blogging here daily will assist many on their trip so please do it :-))

Lets embrace the banana!

  • Heading to the island tonight! HM I wonder if I should start in the morning though? I ate a daterade for breakie and some corn pasta and raw vegan tomato sauce with it.... Advice?
  • Im taking a trip to banana island tomorrow. Whats the maximum amount of time that I should be on the island for or should I just go by how I feel?

  • Haha...that picture of the naners makin' love is SO sexy.  Rawsome.
  • Hello, I am heavily interested in this endeavour. I am preparing for it, getting ready and hopefully this can be a complete transition into 811 LFRV instead of LFCV.

     

    However, this site is often linked a lot here for reference and scientific evidence, http://www.rawfoodexplained.com/application-of-food-combining-princ....

     

    They don't have many pro's to this type of thing. I was just doing research on mono-eating and such and this website came up, and I was surprised they were against it because it is often linked here to help explain raw food.

     

    They even state at the end that fasting for a week is better than a mono-diet for 3 weeks.

     

    Is there more insight on this? I would love more confidence that this is a safe thing to do.

     

    Thanks guys for the support and the site!

    • Fasting is never a good idea! It messes up your metabolism and is really stressful on the body. It thinks it's starving. The idea of a fruit island is to heal the body while still having enough calories and nutrients to function, and keep your cells happy. Eating just one thing, especially only ripe, easy to digest fruit, takes the effort out of your digestive system so your body can do other important things.
    • This is coming from the same person that says "It is not difficult to fall into the trap of the overeating of fruits. They are the most delightful of foods. They are also among the finest and best of foods, if properly used." I wasn't able to find the scientific evidence on the site. When in doubt, follow your heart.

  • where is it ahaha:)
  • Hey. I am sure this info is in here already, but i just don't find it, even when i use the search function. For those who have been on banana island already, what was your experience with adding in greens? Does it lessen the positive effects? Would you mix the greens with the bananas or wait 1-2 hours after a banana meal and consume some mono-lettuce?
    I am so excited!!! Will be blogging on the.. ehm... banana blog. Join me, the more the merrier!!
    • Oh, one more question about calories, since i do not have a kitchen scale (maybe i should get one):

      Cron-o-meter lists small, medium, and large bananas. Do these sizes refer to the standard American bananas? Which would mean that i really should check if the bananas are a smaller or larger variety? Or does 'small' refer to those tasty 'date bananas', and i could just neglect the small differences in the standard American variety and just use 'medium' for all the bananas i eat as a good guess?
      Merci!
  • Hello Banana Islander :) I'm curious about this banana island. Does it mean that in order for me to get use to the raw food/help the digestion I should start eating only bananas for couple of day? I have troubles digesting raw fruits now, may be it is a wrong combination of food together..I also feel like, I'm not eating enough calories a day and bananas would surely help to get my calories in! Also, what about greens? I wanna actually go "banana" today for about a week, but should I also eat greens? Oh, and to add, currently I feel tired, don't sleep well during the night, I'm bloated after eating my fruits and am Ms. Cranky Pants quite often. I also noticed that, being on my raw journey for 8 days now, I'm more tired during exercising. I do work out 3x/week ---> Mon 1 hour cycle + 1 hour pilates, Tue 1 hour pilates, 1/2 abs, 1 hour body pump, Thu 1 hour cardio, 1/2 hour abs, 1 hour body pump. I will welcome any feedback :)) Thanks tons. Cheers chica from Republica Cecha ;)
