Hi folks. I'm Bob Schrupp, physical therapist.

on the internet.
- In our opinion of course, Bob.
- Wow, that was fast.
Today we are gonna talk about which banana color
is best for weight loss.
So, this is kind of surprising to me, Brad.
I've eaten two bananas a day,
I bet you, for 35 years.
- No way.
- Yeah, I bring them on vacation with me.
If I go to friends house to stay there,
I bring my bananas.
I'm a banana guy.
So, I know this is bizarre.

- Say no more, Bob.
- So, this is, again,
like I said, it was a little surprise to me.
Green bananas actually have decreased sugar content
and they have increased resistant starch.
So, what does that mean?
You're gonna have a decreased glycemic index,
which is gonna be good for diet,
especially if you have diabetes,
you're gonna have less sugar.
- Less sugar, yeah.
- And because it has more starch,
resistant starch, that's resistance to digestion.
So, it's gonna make you feel fuller longer.
So, you know, it's probably not gonna help other things,
but it's gonna help you with weight loss basically.
So that's the quick answer here.
You're gonna use the green bananas.
- They are harder to peel though.
- Harder to peel.
Harder to eat.
You might have to put them into something,
cut 'em up a little bit.
I always have 'em in cereal.
- You do, oh yeah, that's always fun.
- Yeah, that's always...
- One of those little dice them and slice then.
- All right, let's go to the other end
of the spectrum, Brad.
Brown bananas.
Now this actually is not a brown banana.
This is a plantain.
I could find a brown one.
So, it's a prop basically, so...
- It looks like a banana.
- Yeah, it looks like a banana.
So, once it begins to brown, the banana,
it has increased fructose,
increased sugar basically,
increase glycemic index.
It's gonna be worse for people who are diabetic,
and those people are trying to lose weight.
But on the other end of the spectrum,
it has more antioxidants.
- Oh.
- So, that's the thing that helps prevent
or delays cell damage.
- Sure.
- And it's gonna boost your immune system.
And so basically,
this has like eight times more oxidants
than a yellow banana.
- Oh, really? - Yeah.
- And a green-- - Probably has way more.
It just told me how much more than the yellow, so.
So you really, to some extent,
I feel like I'm not gonna throw these away
because I can use antioxidants too.
- Yeah.
- I guess it depends on-- - When they're brown,
sometimes they're mushy.
I don't like that.
- That's all he's worried about,
is the taste apparently, so.
So as you might imagine, Brad,
the yellow's in between.
So it's got less sugar than this,
but more than this. - Yup.
- It's got less antioxidants than this,
but more than this.
So, you know, if you're on a diet,
I guess I would again lean towards the green one.
- The green one, yep.
- Or if you're diabetic, otherwise,
I would go ahead and eat what you want,
whatever suits your fancy.
- Actually that's very interesting.
Is that, I wonder if that...
Are you gonna do this on other fruits too that are...?
- That's a good question.
I ought to look that up, like on an apple.
I don't think you're gonna eat a rotten apple.
- And you just came up with this
because you ate too many and you thought you wanted to...?
- No, I read a book and it was talking
about green bananas.
- Oh.
- And that you really wanna eat green bananas
to avoid the high glycemic index.
And then I'm like, well what about,
so, I started looking up more
and then it came up with that the brown really
had some benefits too.
- Well, my wife always likes the brown ones for--
- Yeah, baking.
- Yeah, baking a banana bread.
- Yeah, yeah, exactly.
- What about the peel?
Does the peel have any nutrients, nutritional value?
- I don't know about that-- - That wasn't in there?
I wouldn't go ahead and eat the peel, but ah...
- Well, I'm kind of interested about this plantain.
- Plantain. - What does that taste?
Can I eat it all?
- No, you can eat it 'cause we need it for a picture.
- I want to taste it.
Anyways. - We'll let you eat it later.
- All right.
- All right, we hope we didn't drive you bananas.
- Oh Bob, you're killing me.
- All right. - Why?
- See you later.
