The type of bean to AVOID eating
While beans are actually
one of the healthiest carbs sources out there, loaded with fiber and
protein, there's actually one variety of beans you should be AVOIDING at
all costs:
Baked Beans.
Fact is, manufacturers of commercial "baked beans" are completely RUINING this health food by piling in sugars galore along with a slew of artificial ingredients.
Many brands are now even including high fructose corn syrup and numerous other corn ingredients, such as corn starch, in their products...bad news!
For example, a 1-cup serving of canned "baked beans" contains more than 20 grams of ADDED sugar on average while the same 1-cup serving of regular kidney beans, pinto beans, red beans, etc, contains only a gram or two of naturally occurring sugar. BIG difference!
That said, when buying beans and adding them to your diet (which is actually a great choice), make sure to avoid commercial "baked beans" products and instead go with bean products that don't add all the extra junk.
Some great varieties of beans and legumes are:
Pinto Beans
Red Beans
Navy Beans
Lima Beans
Black Beans
Black-eyed Peas
Marrowfat Peas
Chickpeas
Butter Beans
Lentils
And there are even some natural packaged versions of the above listed beans and legumes that add a number of healthy and natural seasonings to spice them up a bit. The lesson here is to avoid "baked beans" in favor of the plain stuff (which you can then spice up at home) and when buying anything packaged, take a good, hard look at the ingredients and nutrition facts.
If it's got added sugar and artificial ingredients, skip it!
But what if you didn't have to worry if you were making the right food choices with every food you buy? What if it was all laid out for you, plain as day, in step by step, meal by meal fashion? No guesswork, no confusion!
Well, that's exactly what my good friend and top nutritionist Josh Bezoni is doing for you today, and he's giving away his ONE Day Diet 100% free!
==> The ONE Day Diet (exactly what to eat for a flat belly, meal-by-meal)
Enjoy!
