Is 30 Bananas A Day Healthy? The Official Ben Greenfield DurianRider Interview

Meet Harley Johnstone, AKA DurianRider, AKA the 30BananasADay guy. If you have questions for this episode, leave them in the comments section at: http://www.bengreenfieldfitness.com/2013/10/30-bananas-a-day-diet/

Harley spent the first 24 years of his life battling issues such as chronic fatigue, asthma, Crohn's disease, hypoglycemia, mild arthritis, sleep disorders, depression, drug addiction, alcohol abuse, anorexia, acne, and more. These challenges led him to explore veganism and eventually raw veganism. He is now a 100% high carb, low fat raw vegan who literally eats 30 bananas a day (along with watermelons, coconut sugar and dates) and also competes in cycling, running, duathlon, ultra-endurance and marathon races.
