Take the Beantastic Challenge

For two weeks, gradually incorporate ¼ to ½ cup of beans into every meal.  Research shows people who eat the most beans, have better weight control. Eating beans triggers GLP-1 hormones helping you to digest your food slower and feel full longer (the same hormones triggered by popular weight loss drugs). The key is to learn how to prepare beans so they are easier to digest, to gradually increase them in your diet to avoid the digestive discomfort that can stymie your best intentions, and to learn tasty and delicious recipes that make beans a valuable addition to your life. While beans are a nutritious and inexpensive way to improve your overall diet, they are also good for the planet as they are nitrogen fixers of our soils.  You can do this, it is worth it!
