Dr. Simeon’s who started the HCG diet discourages people who follow it from eating bananas because of their high sugar content, though people still eat them at different phases throughout the diet. According to Dr. Simeon, bananas are not good to eat in phase three because they are high in sugar.

A vast majority of people who eat bananas on this diet wait until the third week and even then limit their consumption of this fruit. If you feel as though you must eat bananas while you are on this diet, it is recommended that you limit your consumption of them to just two each week.
