(I have been vegan for 2 years, I eat an extremely high carb/low fat diet.
My daily diet is something like:
5-15 bananas
A kilo of rice
Vegetable Curry or Stew
2 litres of Orange Juice
2 litres of banana/berry smoothie
10-20 dates
Half a Pineapple
Which is about 3000-5000 calories.
This is an extremely unhealthy diet.
I suspect there are more calories in a kilo of rice than 5000, especially if you're talking white rice which doesn't have the fiber benefits of brown rice.
That many bananas can cause a potassium overload in your system which I believe shuts down your kidneys (or is it the liver? I can never remember, but neither is good), so you might want to cut back on those a bit. Not to mention bananas can cause constipation, so if you are eating white rice and this many bananas, do you ever poo? Perhaps the dates help with that, but then you're just eating the dates to keep yourself regular instead of eating a healthy balanced diet (vegan or not).
And that's a shit-ton of juice, which is really nothing but sugar.
Welcome, you have diabetes, or will have if you continue to eat like this. And when you get a wee bit older and your metabolism gives out, well, then you'll be fat too. Certainly something to brag about.
