Beans Bean the fiberous fruit

I have a couple of cans of Beans here in front of me and it is interesting in looking at them just how much fiber and protein that they contain. One thing to remember is that the fiber in beans does not have a very balanced amino acid profile but the fact is that you can compliment the amino acids with some corn. If you are ready here are the numbers:

Heinz Deep Brown Beans in Tomato Sauce
1 Cup
4 grams fat
62 grams carbohydrates
14 grams protein
14 grams fiber

No Name Six Bean Blend (for making chili)
1 Cup
2 grams fat
44 grams carbohydrates
15 grams protein
10 grams fiber

As you can see both of these cans of beans are high in both fiber and protein. In my house when we make chili we always add corn to it and the deep brown beans? They are another side dish for us. The added advantage of having canned beans is that they are cheap to buy so it will not empty your wallet to eat well.

First person Alli review

First person Alli review

Alli Review

Jessica Carreras recently wrote this Alli review article for the Michigan Journal about her results in using Alli , the new wonder diet pill that I have written about before. As we all really suspect from a fitness standpoint this pill is not going to help you lose if you are not taking care of yourself with a great diet and daily exercise.

Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, Hydroxy Cut – and the newest loss miracle? Hello, Alli. This in fact a first person Alli review

Praised as a miraculous “fat blocker” that helps women to lose 50 percent more when on a diet, Alli has received lots of criticism lately because of allegations that it may cause, er, unpleasant side effects to the tune of fecal incontinence. Indeed, on the bottle, it warns potential users to begin using Alli on a day that you can be at home near a bathroom, just in case. Yikes. Anyway here is an Alli review from someone that used it for a week.

Alli Review Experiences

So here’s my confession, and I say that because I am somewhat ashamed: I tried it. What can I say? I was curious and my shorts haven’t fit so well this summer. Plus, my mom was footing the bill because she wanted to try it too. In my defense, it was her idea.

Shame aside, I’m here to quell the rumors and spill the beans about this miracle loss pill. No pun intended.
