Re: Nutrition - Banana vs Low Sodium V8

[Guest guest]

You have to clarify/qualify that. That's IF you eat the bananas and NEVER exercise then the calories typically go on (and I know theres alot of exceptions on here ...so I say that just in case there's someone with a near normal metabolism reading this). But maybe that extra K gives some energy so go burn of some calories. Exercise is good for all of us anyway.

And I know I can't do the V8 and can't be the only one....it's the consistency of it for me,for some reason, and not really the taste. Oh well. I did give it the college try though

But us monkeys like bananas anyway and I have proof..... because, ....speaking of college.....I found an old picture of Dr G when he was in medical school:

SEE.......He always practices what he preaches.

If you eat 2 bananas you will get approximately the same amount of K as 8oz of Low K V8 (~8oo). You will also get about 170 extra calories so then your doc can blame your weight! (Isn't Dr. Grim intellegent with his DASH/V8 recommendation!) BTW you would need 2/3 of a cup of prunes and that would be about 225 extra calories! Pass the Low K V8, Please!

I can not stand V8 so I looked for other alternatives. Coconut Water (not

coconut milk)

0 fat

45 calories

45 mg sodium

510 mg Potassium 18mg magnesium

10 total carbs

this is in 8 ounces.

I can handle this so much better. The taste is not the best, but I just put a

small splash of grape juice in it and I can drink it 2 times a day. Not as high

potassium as the V8 but I can at least handle it.
