Thanks for the reply, Nat. I always hope for at least one "Nat response" whenever I post!
You're right that Hussman seems a little overboard on the calorie counts. According to his calculations, I'm supposed to keep my intake at between 1200-1350 per day, which is pretty low! So that's why I asked the question, because I never take anything anyone says at complete face value.
I guess my concern is that, as low carbers, we've been warned way against eating bananas not only because of their high carb count, but because of their high glycemic carb count, like you said. But I do like them, so if I'm given the green light to eat them, I would. And I tried it last week and it didn't seem to have any ill effects on me. It just makes me nervous because of the high glycemic index that we as LCers have been so warned away from. I'll be sure to let ya'all know how it turns out as far as my overall BFL results. (I'm beginning Week 5 of Challenge 1). Thanks again!
