    A few YouTubers got me onto the bean train. Love me some baked beans and potatoes now. By a lot of dieting rules that would be terrible. “So much carbohydrates and sugar you’re gonna get so fat!” Down 20 lbs and counting.

    Just, uh, just don’t look at how many gummy worms I also eat. I need to find those fiber gummies

      Potatoes are one of the most satiating foods, so it’s easier to eat less by eating them.

      Plus they’re delicious.

      I make chicken noodle soup but with a lot of beans instead of chicken, then generous amount of bean paste in burrito, and also white beans in smoothies. It’s just all around a great food.

      Beau Miles on YouTube ate his own bodymass in beans (and nothing but beans) over the course of 40 days while being way more active than most people. It was him alone who made me realise that beans ain’t too bad, and now I eat beans in various ways almost every day. Other than that, I can really recommend his videos, he seems like a genuinely great person that tries to make the best of everything.
