Why beans? I know the whole lechtin thing (but those are cooked out). I know the carb thing, but these are complex not causing spikes. Bean are super healthy. They have kept most of the planet alive. Combined with rice they are a complete food. It was the one thing centenarians ate in a huge study. The people living to 100 ate beans daily. Meat is good too. I think the goal is eat REAL food that God made and you'll be better off. BTW I'm not arguing against meat and avoiding sugar (both great ideas). Eat meat, avoid sugar but don't forget beans either.
