Lose Weight on a Bean Diet

Why Beans?

Beans belong to the complex carbohydrate or "Good carbs" group which its also often referred as. Due to their chemical structure complex carbohydrates take longer to break down and hence provide a longer lasting energy, as opposed to simple carbohydrates where the energy gets used up quickly.

Beans are a good source of protein and B vitamins, and they also bring good supplies of magnesium, calcium, copper, iron, zinc, potassium and phosphorus.

Being a complex carbohydrate they make you feel full for longer, and you'll avoid cravings.

They are quick and easy to prepare (especially canned beans) which is important when dieting.

As a bit of a bonus - they are the cheapest form of protein :-)

Bean Diet Plan

The basic bean diet menu is pretty simple, as you'll be cooking with the same ingredients over and over again.

I hope that you are doing well! Just wanted to tell you about this cool new video that I just watched from my new friend and respected colleague, Dr Charles. In it, he reveals a very unusual tip for a flatter belly in just 3 to 10 days. I watched it, thought it was brilliant, and figured you might find it very helpful too.

I hope that this was short and sweet enough for ya. Have an amazing day!!

P.S. Once more, the video link for this weird tip is:

. Every meal should include:

Beans and Vegetables (preferably greens such as spinach, broccoli, bok choy etc)

Add lentils and tofu as desired

Consume plenty of fish and add eggs, beef or chicken if you usually include animal protein in your diet.

Drink plenty of water and exercise minimum 3 times a week

Some of the many varieties of Beans to choose from:

Lima Beans Green Beans Navy Beans Chickpeas

Kidney Beans White Beans Black-eyed Peas Broad Beans

Black Beans Adzuki Beans Soy Beans Pinto Beans

Things to avoid when on a Bean diet

1) Avoid refined foods (simple carbohydrates) such as white bread, sugar and pasta and even stay away from brown rice, bread & brown pasta and cereals.

2) Avoid sugary drinks, dairy products and alcohol.

3) Minimize your intake of fruits

So, will I lose weight?

Yes you will!

If you follow the guidelines and just have normal sized portions you will automatically lose weight. What I really like about this approach to weigh loss it that it's super easy to prepare, and adjust to individual needs.

If you want to lose a lot of weight you simply just make the portions smaller, or if you have already gotten rid of the kilos that you were after, and just want to manage your weight, you just adjust the size and combine it with other healthy ingredients. It's as easy as that.

Mixed Bean dish

My partner is still going strong on a bean diet, so here's what he has just prepared for lunch. It's a mix of:

Red kidney beans (Chili beans)
White beans (Cannellini beans)
Black eyes peas
Tofu
Bok choy & lentils
... although it may not look that inspiring, it tastes Great :-)

the four hour body Bean Diet

the basics

Interestingly enough Timothy Ferriss book "the four hour body" also includes a Bean diet, although it's a slightly different approach. In essence the four bean diet revolves around the following:

Eating the same meals over and over again (combination of beans, legumes, vegetables, animal protein). Pick 3 or four and repeat them.

Avoid eating fruit with the exception of tomatoes and avocados (small amount) due to the high sugar content.

Consume large amounts of water and avoid sugary drinks as well as alcohol (with the exception of red wine)

Avoid eating anything white as well as brown rice, bread, pasta and cereals.

Take one day off per week and eat what ever you like, so it's basically a 6 day bean diet followed by one day of indulgence, and then back to beans!

Dried Beans or Canned Beans?

Dried beans are probably better, but the nutritional value and taste of canned beans is actually pretty good, so for the convenience I would recommend the canned ones, as it's just easier. When on a diet, quick and easy meals are the key, so you don't get sidetracked.

Just rise them well in water before use to remove as much sodium as possible, and only once you have gotten used to including beans in your standard diet you can switch to the dried ones.
