"Part of my job as an editor in the health department at Glamour involves meeting with health experts all the time--nutritionists, personal trainers, sports physiologists, doctors, athletes. I recently met with someone who wanted to know what I eat. I live for breakfast (eating a big breakfast daily actually helped me lose weight), so I started there: a banana, a quarter-cup of steel-cut oatmeal (it&amp;#x27;s about a cup when it&amp;#x27;s cooked) and one hard-boiled egg with two egg whites. The carb + protein + fruit combo fills me up, gives me energy, tastes delicious--it totally works for me. &amp;quot;Get rid of that banana right now!&amp;quot; she said, as if I were inhaling a box of Twinkies at 9 A.M. I&amp;#x27;m generally open to suggestions, but since my eating career (yes, I spent so much time munching that it could&amp;#x27;ve qualified as a full-time job) used to involve polishing off half a box of granola in one sitting, I wanted to tell her where she could put that banana. I would&amp;#x27;ve been more likely to want to hear her out if her concern was environmental, since bananas are usually non-local for Americans. But her advice wasn&amp;#x27;t about where they come from--it was about where they end up: potentially, on my thighs. I love all kinds of fruit--and live by the apple-a-day rule--but am resistant to giving up my potassium-rich, happy-making banana in the morning. At least for now. So, tell me, do you ever get health advice that totally bugs you, even if it&amp;#x27;s well-intentioned? Do you have a friend who tells you that you that if you ate just like she did you&amp;#x27;d lose weight? Or someone who tells you that the kitchen should be closed after 7 P.M.? And what do you guys think about bananas: Do you avoid eating them because of the high sugar content when you&amp;#x27;re trying to lose weight? Share! More about bananas!
