Hiya all – i am doin the “Baked Beans” diet, meaning this is the primary food i am eating – i have beans with eggs or tomatoes for breakfast, beans n pasta or veggies for dinner, n beans for t with veggies – try doing a bean casserole with tinned / fresh toms canned Baked Beans n any other beans or veggies thrown in – nice wi carrots ect.

In no way do i limit how much i eat or how many cans i have or meals. I use Butter, pinto, harricot n black eyed beans for a bean salad – nice with onions, carrots and a bit ov balsamic vinegar on – really nice.

I eat so much and am always really full, but the weight just dropping off.

Thanks Caren!

I am definitely enjoying it and my family is reaping the rewards! I’m in perimenopause and it has been horrible but this week was really much better and today I’m even feeling better!

My off day is today and I just had a serving of pancakes, eggs, and bacon. Lunch will be beans and salad. Dinner ribs, veggies, and dessert!

Another member on the other site where I post has lost 63 pounds in 5 months! The diet definitely works because the beans are definitely stablizing my blood sugars…who knew beans were the SUPER FOOD!

I bought some black beans (never cooked them before) and lima beans and pinto beans at the store yesterday and can’t wait to try some recipes. Making chili on Sunday and adding the pinto beans to that! Another thing that I enjoy is that I an cook a huge pot and eat on them all week which definitely saves time and MONEY!

Good luck everyone and have a great weekend!

puzzled why are you even on this site yes they might be only on 300-700 or whatever calories but what has it actually got to do with YOU why do u feel that you need to but in on a web site that is clearly not for people like you, do you not have ANY THING else better to do??? you know its people like you that were prob bbullies at school and always told other ppl what to do and i dont think your welcome on this page and i really dont see the point unless you just love p*ssing ppl off and if that is the case your sadder than i thought, nd just for the record hardly anyone is just one ONE tin a day most are on at least 3 and plus its there choice not yours so just grow up and F*CK OFF

kind regards john

hi monet

that is Great, insulin resistance can make you feel horrible, nevermind all the other problems it causes, sounds like a good and healthy diet!!

I just started a similiar diet called Lose 20 pounds in 30 day! Basically, you eat the same foods pretty much for breakfast, lunch, and dinner! Breakfast a lean meat, veggie and beans, dinner a lean meat, veggie, and beans, etc. Then there is ONE CHEAT DAY PER WEEK, YOU CHOOSE! You eat whatever you want on that day and get right back on the low fat diet. I, too, cook my beans from scratch!

I was having problems with horrible mood swings and insulin resistance..my moods have been much better and I’ve had more energy! I don’t think I could do it with just beans though!

I am a huge bean fan. I get the majority of my calories from beans. However, you will get way too much sugar from eating only baked beans (at least in the US where they usually include a lot of brown sugar). Mix it up with garbanzos, black, pinto, Lima, white, etc. I have absolutely no problem getting 1,800 – 2,500 calories a day from beans – especially when I include baked beans as a dessert. I supplement with oatmeal, nonfat milk, and nonfat yoghurt mixed with wheat germ. The amount of protein, fiber, calcium, vitamin D, and potassium are pretty impressive. I am a long distance trail runner, and my typical week includes a minimum of 5,000 cumulative feet of elevation gain, and I have no issues with excessive fatigue or weight loss. Try a can of garbanzo beans bathed in Tabasco Sauce and blanketed with coarse ground black pepper. 375 calories. You can also mix in a half cup of nonfat yoghurt.

I am trying this diet. I am vegetarian and I was eating veggie junk food like Boca burgers and other stuff. Instead of can beans I am doing this with natural boiled beans from the bag. I am assuming it will work with the made beans in the pot. I dont like stuff in a can. My diet is consisting of beans and fresh fruit juices and salads. Yummm….and beans are great!

Puzzled:” It seems to me that you are a person surfing for conversations, jumping in and stirring, Just to see what the reaction would be, interesting hobby!! Anyway everybody here is just trying to find something that works for them, Obviously you dont need to diet, since you seem to know exactly what to do, and how much of. So I dont see the point of the conversation other than amusement.

I love beans but frankly, isn’t this taking it to extremes… I know that beans are low in fat and have fiber but they also have proteins that the body has a hard time breaking down, thus the gas… I find it hard to grasp that the gas went away after cutting out toast with his beans.

Hey everyone. I been trying this out for 2 months. Before I used to eat whole pizzas, sodas and fast food for breakfast. Just by doing this i lost many pounds. But I started the bean diet wif exercise to lose that lower belly pouch and guess what its working. I lost 26lbs since i started the bean diet and 35lbs by first cutting out the garbage I been spends loads of money on, fast food prepared by strangers. Six pack is showing. Good luck.

I agree Rob thats the point of going on the diet, its the point of going on any diet, but I quote “Lost 7 kg now, eating about 1 can of beans a day, mixed with low carb veggies, and meat or fish once a day” Is not the baked bean diet in fairness, about 1 can of beans a day? That is not a diet, thats just plain stupid and taking a so called baked bean diet of I quote “King apparently eats six cans of beans each day, and has them with rice for lunch and with potato for his afternoon tea.” To stupid extremes why only eat around 300 cals a day when you can eat 1200 and still lose weight?
Which has been my point all along, you cant class, about a can of beans a day, a diet, that would suggest more of a mental issue then anything else, and my point was people should not listen or take that advice, and for some reason some people were willing to actually take sides, this person has fans for starving themself. I mean surely people dont sit and wonder that people on here are losing weight when they are basically pretty close to not eating at all? What more would you expect? To not lose weight? Am surprised someone can funcation on so little, every time they stand up they would get dizzy etc. My guess is you couldnt do this diet well there version of the baked bean diet day to day without crashing and wanting to eat anything and everything you see every 4-5 days, because its not even a balanced diet, obviously there is a right way to do this baked bean diet, but it would seem that noone on here is doing it the right way?

As a student, for the past 3 years, I’ve been snacking on stupid amounts of chocolate and pizzas. I started University as 8 and a half stone, and am 5ft.6, but after three years of this bad eating, realised I was 10 stone in March this year.

Since starting to eat two meals of half a can of baked beans, plus one plate of vegetables a day I went down to nine stone, but can’t seem to lose the final half. I’ve obviously had little treats in the middle of all of this dieting, and drinking nights, which I assume are the reasons why I’ve not completely slimmed down, but it’s getting to be quite frustrating, and I can see that all of this effort has been for nothing, as unless I want to carry on eating only Heinz for the rest of my life, I’ll go straight back to ten.

For the whole period of this diet I’ve not really felt hungry, and have had a lot of energy, especially in the two hours after eating, it’s just really boring and makes you want carbs and treats more than any other diet I’ve ever been on.

ive been massively over eating for years, i am now exercising, eating plenty of fruit and vegatables, and whenever i am peckish i get a can of beans(the ones with the ringpull) and pop it open.
Its convienient and alot better for me than snacking on chocolate, or crisps.
And “Puzzled is right and valid Caren, you are under eating, and losing weight, BUT THEN THATS THE BLOODY POINT OF GOING ON A DIET PUZZLED

Clearly states what you eat

“Lost 7 kg now, eating about 1 can of beans a day, mixed with low carb veggies, and meat or fish once a day.”

The quote means how deluded some people on here you seem to have fans for telling people what you ate works, surely you and everyone dont need to be so stupid to work out, that what you wrote what you eat you would lose weight, am sure if you went to a gp or dietitian they would clearly point out “eating about 1 can of beans a day, mixed with low carb veggies, and meat or fish once a day.” would defo make you lose weight and your under eating massively!!!! So I think my points have been totally valid!

For those who know, no explanation necessary.For those who do not know, no explanation possible…… but still I cant help myself……so

a) the apple diet does not consist of only apples (might be good to do some research)
b) never have “I” said that I eat 300-800 cal a day, I eat until I am full, at 382 calories in a tin, if I eat 3 tins that is 1146 calories only in beans not counting vegies,(which is incidentaly the first time I’ve had to count calories……***##) ps have you ever tried eating 5 tins of beans a day, I cannot see that youll still be hungry enough after a week to do it, If you had known what I mean about calories not being equal it would have all made sense, that is why it is so easy to eat 5 packets of chips, consisting of 400 calories each and still be hungry, (which is 2000 calories) but eat a 500 g Beef (top sirloin, separable lean and fat, trimmed to 1/8″ fat, choice, pan-fried) which equals 313 cal per 100g making a total of 1565 cal be completely satisfied. ( if not could be a problem with bloodsugar levels and insulin, but that might be a bit much to get into……………………….

about the delusion, maybe you could explain to me, i dont undertand??Quote

How is it insulting? Are you all that stupid you think eating only 300-800 cals a day you wouldnt lose weight? Eat 300-800 cals of any food tyoe you want, and you will lose weight, when eating only 300-800 cals a day of a mixture of food you will lose weight, surely you realise that? You go on to say about the apple diet already is one but not so many even 10 apples a day is around only 670, seems more of a mental issue you with you eating as little as possible! You probs sit eating the beans with a little spoon one at a time too? Yous are sitting happily saying that you only eat one and half tins of beans a day? You think thats a diet? Only people your kidding is yourself! You could still lose weight eating 1200-1500 of beans a day so why you eating only 300? Because your obessed and deluded

Ps and the fact
