I went out of the country this month and ate a lot of cooked vegan food and feel disgusting. I want to release all the toxins and water weight I gained. Would going on banana island do the trick? How long should I be there?

You'll probably want to drink more water, just make sure you are peeing at least 8-12 times daily with vigor. Dr. D says not to eat just one type of fruit for more than 6 months at a time. We store sufficient nutrients that we need so this length isn't a problem, it's why going without greens for a while isn't a problem either. You can do 2 fruit island, it's not as cleansing but make sure the fruits are good combos. For instance orange and banana are a terrible combo. Also make sure you keep your calories up on the island.
Let us know how it goes. :)

In all honesty I found it pretty easy most of the time. I did start to get a bit sick of bananas towards the end, but I felt great health and energy wise all the way through the process.
I'd say go for it, and do it for as long as you fancy, from 7 days up to 30 days or so. ( I planned a month but cravings for citrus overtook me at the end of week 3 ;-D ).

Another time I was shooting for 30, but only lasted 16 days because I wasn't organized enough, and when it became tough to get relatively ripe bananas in the market, I ran out of ripe bananas... After a day or two of eating bananas that tasted like cardboard i threw in the towel...
So that's the trick... both to 80/10/10 and BI... be organized and be sure the have lots bananas ripening so that you always have lots of ripe bananas ready to eat. Buy bananas today to eat in 3 days or so. Don't depend on ripe bananas being available in the store that you can eat today, because often it's not available.
