Too many bananas mean two thing can happen physiologically: Firstly, bananas contain high quantities of potassium. Sodium and potassium are essential for the transference of fluid in/and out of cells that make up our tissues, organ and muscle. If you are doing a high output activity on a daily basis and sweating a lot your body can actually metabolize 3-4 bananas per day. However, if you're just eating them for snacks, you really shouldn't have more than 2 per day only because, the potassium forces fluids in your bowel to enter the tissues and blood stream and consequently dehydrate the bowel...consequently making you constipated.
It also depends on what type of bananas your eating. All organic, natural bananas tend to be smaller than genetically engineered bananas and will have more natural properties to cause stomach aches and bowel distention or cramps. Genetically engineered bananas that farmers use pesticides on tend to grow larger because they have less resistance and don't have to worry about natural predators such as insects. You could eat 2-3 organic bananas and be constipated for a day. Where as eating 2-3 genetically engineered bananas have less of an effect.
So to sum up your question, don't eat too many bananas in one sitting. 2 bananas per day is a good average.

Eating Too Many Bananas

I eat anywhere between 5-10 bananas a day, nothings wrong with me and they're delicious. And NO they are not fattening, they have calories, but are actually a great food for weight loss. Unless you are restricting your calories then you won't gain weight, bc if you have been restricting then yes you will gain it back.
Eat as many bananas as you'd like. Maybe take a look at freelee the banana girl on youtube or her website? She eats 10 bananas in a smoothie for breakfast sometimes :)

I have been eating 15 to 20 bananas a day for many months now and I have not experienced anything negative. I also include other fruits and veggies to get more of a variety of vitamins and nutrients. I have tons of energy throughout the day and no problems with my teeth. Bananas are a cheap source of calories and in my experience, what little I have, there is nothing wrong with eating as many as you care to eat. Your body will tell you when you've had enough.

I'm totally laughing reading your question. I have a 1-year old kitten who is, well, bananas for bananas also. He loves lots of different fruits (plums, apples, pears, etc.) but he come tearing over to me as soon as he hears me crack the peel open on a banana. I break off tiny bites and give them to him and he loves them. He also loves to get ahold of the strings from the peel, and he eats those also. As long as it's not too much and not all the time, I can't imagine it being harmful. It's nice to know I'm not the only one with a fruit-eating cat. Before I saw mine and his love of fruit, I'd never seen any cat eat any fruit at all, so I thought I was the only one. Toodles :)

I eat 2 bananas a day, but when I eat 3 or more a day, my semen volume increases a lot. And she just loves it. Bananas and pineapples makes it taste better. Go for it guys, shoot it on to her face, taste good and smells good too.

It would depend on exactly how many you ate, but bananas are very high in potassium. That is one of the most important electrolytes in the body. Gatorade and many other sport or fruit drinks are high in potassium too. If you start feeling tired or have other symptoms you may need to slack off and visit the doc to have him test your levels.

A banana or two a day is fine, how many we talking here. I would avoid a diet of bananas only.
