I eat bananas every day and I'm (to be completely not modest) in fuckin' great shape. Albeit I'm a soccer player/gym goer and an (almost) vegan.
What works for me:
- Healthy fats as above
- LOTS of fibre (keeps you full, helps avoid overeating)
- Tonnes of vegetables
- Anything between 3-5 servings of fruit per day
- Eggs
- No dairy. Hardly any red meat.
- No processed foods or soft-drinks (maybe the most important)
Cutting dairy out was what got me to the "next level" in terms of my physique. Might not work for everyone, and giving up cheese is of course definitely not for everyone...
