Black Beans! Our answer to weight loss!


If you're SICK and TIRED of getting the same old boring weight loss advice... you know, like "Eat more fruits and vegetables, drink 8 glasses of water, jog, and blah blah blah", then...add a Fiber All Star - BLACK BEANS!!
Black beans are your answer to efficient weight loss and maintaining a healthy glow to your skin with its endless amounts of antioxidants as well as getting ample amounts of protein for the day. Black Beans also has soluble fiber. Soluble fiber absorbs water in the stomach that forms a gel that slows down the metabolism of the bean's carbohydrates. Whats that got to do with me, you ask? Well if you slow down the metabolism strictly for the carbs in the beans, the fiber which the beans have will move the carbs right out of your body before you can snap your finger which means NO WEIGHT GAIN!!! We want to speed up our metabolism, so get that fiber in the form of black beans!! Fiber isn't absorbed in the body, so when it exits the body in the feces, it takes the bile acids with it along with lots and lots of fat. Black beans are leans, practically fat free, low on the glycemic index, and they are beneficial to replacing meat which is slower in digesting than beans.
When researchers analyzed different types of beans, they found that, the darker the bean's seed coat, the higher its level of antioxidant activity! If you want to lose weight without doing all of the walking, running, gym memberships, and headaches of counting calories...try eating lean beans, eggs, and lots of broccoli and califlower! I promise you will see results!

p.s if you team up your black beans with a cup of rice, the beans will keep the rice low on the glycemic index and keep your blood sugar normal which will prevent weight gain. If you ABSOLUTELY MUST have a carb, always pair it with a fiber rich food...and that is your tip for the day:)
