Fox news has an article today about a guy that lost 140 pounds using a self created “Baked Bean Diet”
A diet of baked beans helped Neil King to lose 140 pounds in nine months. In fact, since June 2007, he’s eaten more than half a ton of them, about 1,500 cans.
Prior to dieting, King ate a full English breakfast, which at its heart consists of bacon and eggs and may include sausage, toast, and stewed tomatoes, for lunch, and drank eight pints of lager in the pub after tea.
King, from Halstead in Essex, England, made the switch from boozing to beans after being told he was at risk for bowel cancer.
And his high fiber diet has been gas-free since he stopped having toast with his beans, it is reported. The diet helped King go from 420 pounds to 280 pounds.
Speaking to Britain’s Mirror, King said, “Some people think I’m mad but I love the taste and the weight has been dropping off.”
King apparently eats six cans of beans each day, and has them with rice for lunch and with potato for his afternoon tea.
His wife Cheryl told the Mirror, “He’s like a new man.”
Baked beans contain little fat and are full of fiber, although it is best to go for a low-salt variety.
I like baked beans and ate almost one can one night for dinner last week but come on, how many baked means can you eat? How about the processing that goes into canning these things?
I am always a bit nervous when I read the headline and then see that someone is overeating one thing, what about the rest of his diet overall?

HI
I have been on the baked bean diet for five days now, it’s much better than other diets as beans full you up.
FOR BREAKFAST half tin of beans one since of brown bread.
FOR LUNCH half or whole tin of baked beans
FOR TEA half tin of beans with either jacket potato OR rice OR pasta.
I did have really bad wind for the first day! oh yes”!
I have been on the scales but i am not sure if i have lost weight as i am on my period. As like every woman, you put on weight at that time of the month.

Hi Laura & Louise
I’ve also started the diet this week, 2 days now, can feel my energy levels increase, only eating beans though, no bread or potato, I have some tuna at night. From previous experince I lose better not eating bread or potato in a diet.
I like the idea of this diet … might give it a go but i think you could proable cheat with some brockly, carrots, peas, or some cabbage … i love to make wraps out of cabbage leaf maybe bean filler good luck but the veg’ies proably better choice for viteamines
Hi,
lost 4 kg so far, feeling good!
