I always cringe when I hear a dietitian or health care practitioner advocating the 'health benefits' of grains and beans 🤦🏽‍♂️ •
•
Nutritional biochemistry has scientifically proven there is no need in the body for these problematic foods and that they cause a wide range of negative effects to your health.
•
Not only are they mostly comprised of blood sugar spiking starch, but they have been shown to cause all kinds of inflammation, weight gain, and gut/brain issues in the vast majority of people to some degree. •
•
Most people realize that grain products such as breads, pastas, crackers, etc. are not good for you. But beans & legumes?!? 🍞🍝🥨🍚
•
That's right. Those 'protein/fiber packed' beans you have been eating since you thought they were healthy are actually mostly starch! They often times cause GI issues and have a poor amino acid (protien) profile compared to high-quality animal protien. •
•
I am not saying beans are the worst and should never be consumed. They convert into sugar slower than grains and some people actually do well with them and enjoy the taste. As with any starch, adding healthy fats slows the conversion even more. 👍🏼
•
I am saying this. If you don't like the taste of beans/legumes and only add them into dishes since you thought they were good for you, I'm here to tell you: You are better off without them. 👌🏼
•
Personally, if I am going to indulge on starchy foods, it's sure as hell not going to be beans! (I'd prefer some gnocchi or risotto 😋)
