I went strict carnivore for five months and started getting terrible leg cramps at night. I salt my food heavily. I supplemented magnesium, potassium, and calcium in citrate form with no luck. Added fruit, honey, and raw milk to my meat based diet and I no longer have leg cramps. I'm not sure how some people can eat straight meat and not experience electrolyte imbalances.

I jokingly have called bananas "nature's donuts" for years, but mostly as a way to communicate that they are healthier than donuts, yet also a convenience and treat (like a donut would be).

I still stand by the idea that bananas are less bad for you than donuts and if you cut donuts out and replaced them with bananas, that would be better than continuing to eat donuts every day.

But looks like I was wrong about thinking that they were a "much better" option. Still way too much sugar and way too easy to overeat ... just like donuts.
